Being a superpower means that Germany has international clout and can help its interests worldwide. Germany's strength in manufacturing and economy also helps it maintain a high standard of living for its citizens. Its education system provides it with a highly qualified workforce that can help to keep Germany strong. However, being a superpower comes with some risks as well. In this case, it makes Germany a target for terrorist attacks and aggression from other countries. Being so powerful also makes Germany unable to avoid conflicts with other countries that may want to seize its resources or weaken it economically.
