However, we might want to consider the EU as a superpower at this point, and perhaps India in the near future.

As the EU has developed I have always been amazed that others are shocked that it has not been 100% smooth...
Of course it was messy - We were told in the beginning there would be casualties like Greece and Ireland - It was not a shock.....
For the Americans - Imagine America has 50 states and they speak different languages - They have different currencies - They all have their own immigration and passport systems - Welcome to Europe just a few years ago...
EDIT: What was my point again?....
