I dunno, maybe we should ask Pakistan, the greatest power of South Asia.
Good luck with that. And there is no such thing as "South Asia," just like there is no such thing as Europe. The former is the Indian subcontinent and the latter is West Eurasia.
Eurasia wasn't used until the appearance of 20th century movements. But fine I'll rephrase: Pakistan, the greatest power on Indian subcontinent.
Well they're more powerful than all the Baltic statelets and Scandinavian "countries" combined, so I'll give you that.
