All of the world's largest economies thrive off of their high human capital. With this as one of the three factors of production, economies with high specialization are far more developed. By this, Japan and the United Kingdom are easily more powerful than most countries in the world, regardless greater amounts of resources and population. A skilled work force is of greater value than all the resources in the world.
They could introduce more concepts around human capital in Civilization V. In this way small, resource-less countries can become wealthier. However, the major argument against this is that massive empires could just as easily employ human capital and wider range of specialists. The basic fact of the game is that the larger you are, the more research and gold you create. By any rate, the Democratic Republic of the Congo would still be far more powerful than the United Kingdom.
A good concept that should be introduced would be the the ability to export grain. This would allow developed and productive urban areas to grow much larger faster. It would also support your population better if your empire is based in a desolate region. An area like Nebraska should be able to export large amounts of food to the massive urban areas like New York.
