These are, the Big 3, namely China, Russia, the US. What makes a state a supapawa is the following criteria:
1. area over 9.5 million square kilometers, and by virtue of such area is not landlocked
2. population in the hundreds of millions, that is, anything over 100 million
3. state of the art technologies including 5th generation jets, space technology including manned space flight
Agree?

, but I think we can disagree on the criteria in the OP as well. Land mass doesn't matter, just look at the UK and Netherlands from their colonial days. They had technology and economics, but their land mass was tiny compared to their holdings. Even today they remain important players on the global stage. Japan, baring its economic problems today, could have been a superpower as well as they have two of the criteria I use, missing out on a global military presence and political power. On the contrary, Russia has the largest land mass, advanced technology and a large population, and yet its economy and cultural power is limited... Russia itself is a regional power.
