Imperialism Map

In my little sci-fi storyline, hundreds of years in the future, the Earth is drastically overpopulated and nations are frantically searching for resources and land for their people. Hence, the nations of the world revert to the imperialist practices of European nations of the 18th, 19th, and early- to mid-20th century.

Unlike the old imperialistic era, the new era is not wholly dominated by Europe. Rather, I used a few qualifiers to determine which nations would gain empires or retain their land, including:
1. Nuclear capabilities--Nations that are currently nuclear powers or capable of producing nuclear weapons have larger empires.
2. History--Nations that have historically retained large empires are more likely to have empires in the future.
3. Nations I'm interested in--self-explanatory
4. Logic

Regardless, this is the imagined world of the future, grim as it seems. So, on that happy note, enjoy!
