If USA/Russia/China are the 3 most powerful countries, who are 4,5,6,7,8,9,10 ?

I think it would be safe to say that the United States of America, the Russian Federation, and the People's Republic of China are the most powerful and influential countries in the world right now.

If we take that as a given... which countries are #4-10?

[Blue3]

So there seems to be a rough consensus that
Germany, France, the UK, Japan, India, and Brazil are in the top 10.

(Funny that it's still the major powers of World War II, plus only China/India/Brazil)

If the European Union ever became a true, unified state, I wonder what the top 10 would look like then...

Does this still seem to be the general consensus?

Any changes recently?

I think Russia is now solid #2.
