Superstates

A Superstate is a state which is so large in terms of both land and population that they can longer be defeated by non-Superstates. The concept of a Superstate also includes the stitution when there is no land left unclaimed, and only a few nations own enough land to contest eachother. While mulitple nations can be considered for the status, the universally agreed upon ones are the Aragan Empire and Pan American Union in EW7. In general, there can only be two or three superstates at one time, due to their size requirement. Usually, Superstates are made up of several combined nations who joined together in order to dominate their neighbors. Because of their nature, once a nation reaches Superstate status, they tend to grow by annexing their much weaker neighbors either through war or diplomacy. Once Superstates exist, non-Superstate nations usually attempt to either join an already made Superstate or make their own in order to stay politically relevant. Superstates are distinct from Supernational Organizations, such as the European Council or the ASEC.
