Sorry this reply took me so long - I have been busy and sick.

First, you must remember that when I say 'dominant power', I don't mean 'US-like superpower'. Rather I mean that it's the strongest and most stable of the regional countries at the present time. Thus, while Mexico still has his own issues, he's still more stable than the US and Canada at this point, as well as having more influence than the other Latin American nations around him.

France does not 'have' Scotland. Scotland is it's own nation and no longer a member of the UK. France does, however, secure its influence over several of other European nations. Germany might still be independent, but not really in a position to challenge France. Switzerland and Liechtenstein might still be independent (yay neutrality barrier!). However, France probably would have grabbed Algeria and Andorra. Think less old-fashioned colonization and more modern-day circle-of-influence. Ie. while he doesn't officially rule over, say, Italy, he leans heavily on them and ensures that whatever they do decide is to his benefit.

I don't know enough about Northern Ireland to speculate on it at this moment.

I didn't address the Middle East, but I didn't mean to leave them out of the picture completely. The oil-rich nations would all take a hit as the US (the biggest purchaser of their oil) is no longer able to buy from them. I think Turkey would actually become more powerful however.

Africa I think is a bit of a chaotic mess at this point, as is much of South-east Asia (especially with India and Pakistan having an all-out war between each other).

You said Russia was kind of dealing with madness again?

I don't remember where I said this, but yeah. But please don't take this to mean I think Russia would be going all USSR again - just the opposite, as I think he would be a good deal weaker. I think Russia would be a mess of inner conflicts, as would Spain. In fact, Spain may have erupted into another civil war.

China would still have a lot of inner problems, but as a nation, he would have a very good standing compared to his neighbors. He wouldn't claim Korea but rather, as with France, exert his influence quite strongly there.

Japan, with its isolation and technology, would be able to distance itself from China. Plus, the Japanese people would NOT submit to Chinese domination. Japan would rather sacrifice himself, which he is doing in a manner of speaking. His population continues to decrease, but the nation remains isolated, so he is, in a way, dying.

Edit:
Powerhouse nations: China, France, Turkey
Nations that control their particular region: Mexico, Argentina, Brazil
Nations that are heading for collapse/dying: Russia, Spain, Japan, Greece, Italy (or at least fracturing apart, affecting Romano worst)
