@DarkShadow First, quantity does not mean quality. Having a larger population only means a higher chance of producing powerful Awakened, but probability is not something you can rely on. If you've ever played a game with RNG, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
Second, a larger population does not necessarily mean more resources. Some countries may be small in size yet possess vast amounts of valuable natural resources.
Lastly, and closely related to the previous point, knowing how to use and manage those resources is a decisive factor. A resource-rich nation that fails to develop or exploit its assets effectively can still fall behind a country with fewer resources but better management and strategy.
Feel free to dislike my comment or review – that’s your right! But at least I'm making an effort. If you can't handle different opinions, you might want to rethink being on the internet. Stay safe!
