Modern Germany is as different from the Reich as hot is from cold.
I do see the EU shrinking to include only Europe's most prosperous countries however.
A good yardstick to see who they'll be long term is pre WWII europe. The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Finland were all reasonably prosperous in the East.
In the West you have your usual suspects plus Italy (maybe).
As for the USA, we'll muddle along somehow but things are apt to get a tad ugly.
