Gone Fishin'

Are we using the term "Hyperpower" as "even more awesome than a Superpower" or "sole Superpower?" (US 1992-20??*) If the second, we don't have to do all this territorial wanking: in a world where the US fails to form and India and China don't do any better at modernizing than OTL, a Russia with 1914 borders that successfully modernizes would be in a class by itself.
