In my country judges don't get elected. They pretty much sit in their ivory tower and fuck up anyone they want.
Which is part of the reason why the Netherlands is not a superpower.

Judges don't get elected in the US (except for some state and local judges) and yet the US is a superpower. I don't think judicial selection plays a major factor in determining superpower status.
Can you name any country that has ever been a superpower where judges (of the national judiciary if it has separate judiciaries for constituent parts from the national one) were predominantly democratically elected?
