Catan-izing the old world vs new world nation state network alliances with guns and butter pattern language + naval resources for trade. Thoughts?

G7
1. USA: Emperor/empire, Arms (nukes), Butter (oil and grain) the most of all
2. UK: master of the seas Atlantic, former master of finance (tradfi)
3. Canada: master of natural resources, ore, etc, held in preserve in case of war or supply issues - in the good times, all preserved in the name of “green”, but actually preserved for security
4. Japan: master of the seas Pacific (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)
5. Germany: master of manufacturing (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan, probably mad about Nordstream)
6. France: master of culture and industrial spycraft
7. Italy: master of the seas Mediterranean (indebted after WWII to Emperor even with Marshall plan)


BRICS

1. China: Emperor, Arms, not enough butter - yet.
2. Brazil: butter and then some
3. South Africa: master of the seas, Indian and Atlantic? Watch for build out of navy + some butter
4. India: master of tech, and Indian Ocean seas - watch for buildout of navy
5. Russia: Nukes, some arms when not engaged, lots of oil butter, some grain (butter).
