Civ need to think of the future and not just the present.
I Think that we need to add Potential superpowers &Energy superpower and Potential energy superpowers for being Potential would mean some time in the 21st century they will became superpowers
Potential Superpower
Brazil
In a lecture entitled Brazil as an Emerging World Power, presented at the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, Leslie Elliot Armijo has said that "Brazil will soon rise as Latin Americas first superpower". Armijo states that "Brazil keeps solidifying itself as leader of its region by launching a series of integration projects", adding also that "as an international actor, Brazil has also taken a larger share of world politics by incrementing its already strong presence in economic initiatives, such as the International Finance Facility and the G20", asserting that "Brazils rising prominence derives from its solid democratic rule and its strong economy" and concluding that "Soon, well have two superpowers in the Western Hemisphere"
China
is already added
the European Union
The European Union (EU) has been called an emerging superpower by academics. Many scholars and academics like T.R. 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.
India
Several media publications and academics have discussed India's potential of becoming a great power or eventually a superpower.
Fareed Zakaria also believes that India has a chance at becoming a superpower, pointing out that India's young population coupled with the second largest English-speaking population in the world could give India an advantage over China, and noting that while other industrial countries will face a youth gap, India will have a large, young workforce. Zakaria says another strength that India has is that its democratic government has lasted for 60 years, stating that a democracy can provide for long-term stability.
Russia,
is already added
Energy superpower
Russia
is already sdded
Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia possesses both the world's largest known oil reserves and produces the largest amount of the world's oil, though occasionally outproduced by Russia, it maintains the worlds largest crude oil production capacity. Considered to be the leading state of OPEC, its decisions to raise or cut production almost immediately impacts world oil prices.
In 2005, oil export revenues accounted for around 90 percent of total Saudi export earnings, which accounted for 70-80 percent of state revenues, and 44 percent of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), as reported by the IMF. Saudi Arabia is increasing its oil production capacity to 12 million barrels per day (1,900,000 m3/d) (bbl/d), by 2009
Potential energy superpowers
Canada
Canada holds perhaps one of the more ambiguous statuses in international relations when it comes to its status as an energy power. Supporters of it being included with Saudi Arabia and Russia will point out that Canada has the world's highest production of uranium, producing over a quarter of the world's uranium in 2006.[25] Canada also ranks number one in the world regarding energy produced via hydroelectricity, and exports large amounts of electricity to the U.S. from hydroelectric production.
Venezuela
In 2003 Dr. Talwani said of Venezuela's ability to expand production, quote, "Of course, expanding heavy oil production to make it a significant part of our energy strategy will require a huge investment. For example, oil companies have estimated that achieving just an additional 200,000 barrels per day (32,000 m3/d) of converted Venezuelan heavy oil would take some $3-billion in research and new refining capacity. Extrapolating such figures is hard to do, but a back of the envelope calculation indicates that it could take more than $100-billion to bring Venezuelan daily production up to Saudi levels.
Iran
Iran is the world's fourth largest producer, and fifth largest exporter of oil. It has the second largest proven reserves of oil in the world behind Saudi Arabia. Iran is also the fourth largest producer of natural gas excluding the European Union due to the fact that European Union is not a country,with the second largest proven reserves of natural gas. These give Iran a hybrid status between Russia and Saudi Arabia as a potential Energy superpower. If its current relations with United States become less tense, increased foreign direct investment in the energy sector may hold the potential for becoming an energy superpower in the combination of gas and oil energy. British journalist Julian Evans has written that the sooner Iran lets go of its outdated ambitions to be a nuclear superpower, the quicker it can become a modern energy superpower
Australia
Australia has also been described as an emerging energy superpower. Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard in 2006 expressed a desire for Australia to become an energy superpower. While in 2009 Australian Federal Resources and Energy Minister Martin Ferguson expressed similar sentiments in the wake of multi-billon dollar contracts to supply China with LNG. Australia has the world's largest Uranium reserves at 22% and is the world's largest Coal exporter by short tonnes.
