The U.S. has the largest military in the world and it is the wealthiest.------------

Depending on the criteria you use it could be USA, China, or Russia. According to the Composite Index of National Capability, China is the most powerful country in the world as of this year. This is calculated using the following equation:

Is taken as a ratio of the country to the world. The following rations are added together and divided by 6 to get the average ratio.

TPR = total population of country ratio

UPR = urban population of country ratio

ISPR = iron and steel production of country ratio

ECR = primary energy consumption ratio

MER = military expenditure ratio

MPR = military personnel ratio

However, China's massive population aids them in overtaking the U.S with a larger total population, urban population, and military personnel. Also the U.S does not produce as much iron and steel as it used to, it imports. USA wins in the military expenditure, primary energy consumption areas.

Why do great countries have great armies?

Great, or powerful, countries have great, or powerful, armies in order to keep their power. Military power is usually used to exercise one's power in either defensive and/or offensive terms. However, economic power also ties into being a powerful country. For example, the US has the world's most powerful army and the world's largest economy, and is the reason why the US is the world's most powerful country as a whole. However, although North Korea has the world's largest army, its economy is terrible, and this is one reason why North Korea is not such a powerful or influential country in the world.
