If everyone adopts the innovations that caused the industrial revolution and subsequent growth then in the end they'd all catch up to the leaders (or at least be a lot closer depending on your economic growth theory) and relative importance globally would be closer to relative population. I think this is what Elmat means by "Natural Size". Of course those populations are changeable. Pre the industrial revolution population depended on agricultural productivity - so Italy had a large population and Britain a smaller one. So no there isn't a unique "natural size" but I think Elmat is expressing the economic catch up idea...
