This reads more like an essay on the need to pay attention to small powers than an encyclopedia entry on what small powers actually are. The wikipedia page on middle powers would be a good model for improving this page.
The article should mention the term "state" very early on. It should be a link to Sovereign state, as for Superpower, specifically:

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Small power's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 08:57, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
The article seems to open assuming that the reader already knows what a small state is. It would be very helpful to start with "A small state is..." and give a nutshell definition for those readers, like me, who happened across this article and had to read the opening paragraph a few times before realising it was something to do with countries and not a psychological state. I would edit it myself, but I'm still not sure what a small state is. Robyn2000 ( talk) 07:57, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
I believe confusingly that most of Caribbean states are categorised as small power states because of their internal realities such as economic development, military capability, technology and cultural influence among other things. Emperorlll ( talk) 08:03, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
