I stumbled across this article where the author analyzes whether any real-world powers have already won a Civilization game victory, or how close they have come. Entertaining light read. I guess Norway has come the closest to a Civ victory (diplomatic victory). Enjoy!

Cool read.  I don't know what I did before Civ, but whatever it was, I don't do it now :)
