Traveller:2300. And there's a fairly detailed timeline in the basic rules set. France is the pre-eminent power in 2300, but not to the same extent that the RL USA is today. In 2300 the US isn't far behind France, and as far as it's interstellar holdings and space forces go it's in a long-term alliance with Australia and combined they're a force to be reckoned with. Then there's Manchuria, and the various German states which aren't one unified Germany but act closely together. And I think the successor state to South Africa is pretty powerful too. In the T:2300 universe a lot of a nation or alliance's power comes down to how much Tantalum it has access to. Tantalum is a fictitious mineral crucial to the manufacture of FTL stutterwarp drives.
