Astropolitics examines how the interstellar geography of the Orion Arm influences nations and their interactions. It serves as a framework for analyzing foreign policy, using geographical factors to interpret, explain, and anticipate political behavior on an interstellar scale. Heavily rooted in the concept of political power, this field of study provides a framework for analyzing nations at the international level.

	Criteria For Inclusion: The methodology for classifying nations as superpowers, as outlined in this document, combines established criteria with the Champlain Group's proprietary analysis, incorporating both historical and contemporary qualifications. These include; extensive astropolitical influence, significant military capabilities with interstellar operational reach, a robust and diversified economy, and advanced technological prowess. Strong diplomatic and cultural influence is also considered. In recognition of the paramount role that interstellar territories play modern power dynamics, the number of undisputed territorial claims on star systems is also considered. Note: Supranational Unions are not considered superpowers under this framework. See Also: Potential Superpowers
