Description
A simple map containing what some people would consider emerging superpowers and 3 political/ economic unions (and America).Updates:
Merged some keys together in order to show the entire chart.
Added Sudan to Arab League (no idea how I missed that one out)

Nice map there! I wish there where more maps out there showing off superpowers/superstates/supranational unions like this one. I just have a few questions/comments for you.
1. Would the likes of NAFTA, USAN, Mongolia, SAARC and the CIS/EAEU/Union State be under the influence of America, Brazil, China, India and Russia respectively?
2. What about other regional organizations like the PIF (dominated by Australia), ASEAN, ECOWAS (dominated by Nigeria), SACU/SADC (dominated by South Africa), CARICOM, CAIS/SICA, Horn of Africa (dominated by Ethiopia), Southeast Africa (a unified Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe successor state to the Kingdoms of Zimbabwe and Mutapa), CEMAC or a unified Congolese state?
3. Why is Taiwan considered a superpower in this image? Does it have to do with the ROC's claims on mainland China which is controlled by the PRC?
Once again, great map. I wish there where some art groups that specialized in the likes of regional organizations/trade blocs/regional integration/supranational unions. Do you by any chance happen to know of such a DA group. Take care now and have a good day.

Hi, glad you enjoyed my picture. to answer your questions:
1. Yes, I suppose specific regions and organizations would be influenced by the respective countries you stated. I was even considering making more maps regarding certain countries relations and/ or influence by my stated superpowers in the near future.
2. I haven't thought that far ahead to be honest. I was going to include South Africa but there was just not enough room at the time. (in hindsight I should have gotten rid of the EU Candidates and/ or Taiwan instead. Oh well, maybe next time.) Maybe I could do a follow-up at some point?
3. To be honest, I didn't see Taiwan as a superpower. I only included Taiwan on it's just because of the ongoing status-quo regarding which one is independent. I might as well just make it part of China for simplicity's sake.
4. I don't know of any groups specifically aimed at regional organizations and supranational unions. The closest one I could think of at the time of writing this is MapsAndFlags. I might have a check a little later.
I hope this helps and a huge thank you for watching.

Hello there. Here's my responses.
1. That would be a good idea.
2. Yes please, do a follow up. Tell me, would this hypothetical follow up involve the likes of NAFTA (America, Canada, Mexico), USAN (Brazil, Argentina and the rest), China (plus Mongolia being re-absorbed into China like in the times of the Qing Dynasty), SAARC (Primarily India minus Afghanistan), CIS/EEU (Russia and the Post-Soviet states minus the Baltic states, Moldova and/or various irredentist claims on the Finnish (Karelia/Kola Peninsula) and Romanian's (Budjak) parts), European Union, African Union, Arab League, ASEAN, CARICOM, SICA/CAIS, PIF (Australia and the rest of Oceania), Israel, Iran, Japan and Korea? Sorry if I come across as a backseat mapper, I just like the subject matter of Superpowers and Supranational Unions very much.
3. I sympathize with Taiwan's government more than that of the PRC since I think the ROC should be ruling the mainland.
4. MapsAndFlags is good, but not exactly as focused as what I'm talking about. Maybe that's because regional organizations/supranational unions are such highly specific categories that no one has thought about creating one or something like that.
Take care and have a good day.

Hello again.
At the moment, I may look at current Supranational Unions such as CARICOM, CIS, ASEAN, and a few African blocks in the near future.

actually Switzerland is more/better integrated into the EU than the UK

while not being a member of the EU Switzerland still made several treaties with its neithbours and the EU. through those treaties a lot of EU regulations apply to Switzerland too. for example Switzerland (and the small Liechtenstein too) are since 2008 members of the Schengen Area, but the UK, Ireland, and Cyprus are not and never were.
Switzerland also has very tight relations to the EU members Austria and Germany. those relations simply asked for common rules in various fields. cooperation and participation is important for the swiss people, while the british people usually act like how can we get the most out of it with the least effort.
