I think the most powerful countries in terms of military, econmy and other scales would be China, Japan,India and propably middle east. economically japan has the worlds 2nd largest economy and in Asia its the largest. millitarily North Korea, china, India are very powerful. also its predictable that countries from south east Asia are rising with their power dramatically with many economical and social reforms. eg Thailand, Malaysia and somewhat indonisia. so what i can definitely say is that most of the Asian countries play a large role in the world and have a big influence on the world apart from coutnries like Cambodia, myanmar and afganisthan.
