Can a country survive even if it does not have relations with other countries?

Providing it has sufficient natural resources to satisfy home demand, then yes!\n\nInternational trade occurs because there are surpluses & deficits in resources across the world.

None, without diversity we would literally die. Our gene poll couldn't do it if we were breeding among the same "clans" or groups for hundreds of years, we would all have birth defects.\n\nWhy would people travel to other Countries? Is it for visiting and learning about other Cultures and their surroundings / habitats?

how many war-torn, poverty stricken, geographically challenged, countries with no water, blistering heat, and no central means of communication have stable work forces? thats a more interesting question.

I'd say it is highly unlikely. You would need the 16 component nations to join together. You would need them all to have Communist Governments and for all their leaders to perceive their interests as being best reflected in a new Federation. Thirdly, you would need Russia to be a great power and I don't foresee that happening for a whole range of reasons.

There are 192 countries in the world.  All of which meet eight criteria.\n\nTaiwan meets most, but not all of the requirements of independent country or state status. However, due to political reasons, it fails to be recognized by the United States and much of the rest of the world. If it were recognized, it would be considered a country. \n\nThis would bring the total to 193.

absolutely.  for example, egypt.  they haven't had a native egyptian ruling them for millenia.  all because pharoah wouldn't let the isrealites go.

Its not likely.\n\nIndeed, its unlikely that any nation will eclipse the United States any time soon.

can i suggest you develop a need for education and choose another country to live in for a while. as for being that shouldn't be a problem, even back in the days of lawrence there were male-male relationships

Highly unlikely. They are quite diverse, even within their own countries. Many have multi-party political systems, as well as a standard of different forms of government (eg, some have monarchies while others purely support elected officials). Because of their own "internal conflicts," they likely will continue to vie for their own standards.

I believe that we may not have diplomatic relations with some of these countries. This means we may not recognize their governments as legitimate.

Yes.  The two countries are allied in culture, language, and difficulties faced.

Well, they can SURVIVE as in live, but we must remember our forefathers built this nation under Christian belief.\n\nWe ARE "one nation under God" - although I think we're not so indivisible.

Not a chance. Look at that country's history. They're need the threat of nuclear weapons as a bargaining chip so they can continue to squelch human rights.

Start a new country. But eventually, even that country will fall victim to the same thing. It's the nature of power. Did you ever hear the saying that power corrupts?

Other countries tend to enter into territories not their own.  Perhaps this is because they want to contain any "bad" factors that could affect the entire globe.

Any country is free to leave. Some have. And later come back.\n\nOf course, it doesn't appear to be necessary. You don't have to pay your dues, you can override UN decisions, not pass their bills or motions, and just generally humiliate them by pretending that they don't exist when it's inconvenient.\n\nWell, okay, only one country can do that.
