Through the exercise of (1) … power, states have influence over others and can control (2) … direction of policies and events. Whether power is effective at influencing outcomes depends, in part, on the power potential of each party. (3) … state’s power potential depends on its natural sources of power, each of which is critical to (4) … both realist and radical perspectives. (5) … three most important natural sources of power are (6) … geographic size and position, natural resources, and population.
(7) … geographic size and position are (8) … natural sources recognized first by international relations theorists. (9) … large geographic expanse gives (10) … state automatic power (when one thinks of power, one thinks of large states – (11) … Russia, (12) … China, (13) … United States, (14) … Australia, (15) … India, (16) … Canada, or (17) … Brazil, for instance). Long borders, however, may be (18) … weakness: they must be defended, (19) … expensive and often problematic task.
Population is (20) … third natural power ingredient. Sizable populations, like those found in (21) … China (1.2 billion people), (22) … India (960 million), (23) … United States (281 million), and (24) … Russia (147 million), automatically give (25) … power potential, and often great power status, to (26) … state.

States with small, highly educated, skilled populations, like (31) … Switzerland, (32) … Norway, (33) … Austria, and (34) … Singapore, can nevertheless fill disproportionately large economic and political niches.
