Potential superpowers
A potential superpower is a state or a political and economic entity that is speculated to be – or to have the potential to soon become – a superpower. Currently, only the United States fulfills the criteria to be considered a superpower. The European Union and the emerging BRIC economies comprising Brazil, Russia, India and China are most commonly described as being potential superpowers. Collectively these potential superpowers, as well as the United States, comprise 68.0% of global nominal GDP, 62.4% of global GDP (PPP), more than one third of the total land area and more than 50% of the world's population.
Russia

European Union as an emerging superpower

Reid, Andrew Reding, Andrew Moravcsik, Mark Leonard, Jeremy Rifkin, John McCormick, and some politicians like Romano Prodi and Tony Blair, either believe that the EU is, or will become, a superpower in the 21st century. Mark Leonard cites several factors: the EU's large population, large economy (the EU has the largest economy in the world in terms of nominal GDP), low inflation rates, the unpopularity and perceived failure of US foreign policy in recent years, and certain EU member states' high quality of life (especially when measured in terms such as hours worked per week, health care, social services).
