I actually wrote an article awhile back about cyber-super-powers. The Canary Islands and other high level banking and financial locations were ripe to become power houses of computer security. And the likely targets. The supposition in the article was that being a fortress was not power. The follow on thesis was when these little tiny countries start projecting that power and using it to decide who gets what or gets done by what. Now that is real power. A friend reading the article said I had come up with the Soup Nazi (Seinfield reference) Theory of cyber warfare.
