shape of the world amended:

(a) Europe will enjoy life, (since it can acquire Eastern European countries to keep its industry humming along. Kind of mass migration without moving the masses)

(b) China will export goods and then services, (until they discover they have to grow by selling goods and services internally)

(c) Japan, money, (and slow return to the insignificance they came from)

(d) US, soldiers, (until they can't afford them anymore. Would you like to be at the mercy of a country where two buildings collapse and this country sends the world economy grinding to a halt? The world is not going to tolerate that)

(e) Middle East, oil, (which is not going to be enough to pay for their standard of living. See the IMF advising Saudi Arabia to tax the expats who composes 48% of their workforce)

(f) Russia, weapons, (until they discover that those countries gobbled up by the EU are having a fast growth in their standard of living and Russia is being left only with rusting weapons.)

(g) Australasian, Canada, South Africa, resources, (add Russia and Brazil to that)

(h) India, Pakistan, ( a bunch of wise western educated governing elite, supported by military who doesn't give a shit for the mass of the population living like they were 1.000 years ago)

N.Korea, (should be kept as it is: a museum. TO remind the other Asian countries that they aren't all that clever)

Africa, (prime candidate for re-colonization)

Latin America, SE Asia, fiscal crisis, financial storms, WMD chaos, drugs, and geopolitical turmoil. (where things are not for the beginners nor the fainted heart)
