The following countries have been the Great Powers since 2000:

China

France

Germany

Japan

Russia

United Kingdom

United States

Great Powers are based not only on economics, but also on military power.

China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US are all the permanent members of the United Nations and are the recognized nuclear weapons states of the world (Germany is a nuclear weapon sharing state). They are also the most powerful nations based on military power.

Germany and Japan are not as strong in a military sense, but are major economic powers, having the fourth and third largest economies in the world respectively. China, France, Russia, the UK, and the US also have the largest economies in the world.

Brazil, Italy, India, and Canada all have larger economies than Russia (Italy is a nuclear weapon sharing state as well). However, these countries are not considered powerful enough on a military stance to be a Great Power. For example, both India and Brazil have one of the largest armies on the planet, but they are still not high enough on a military stance to be a Great Power.
