Let's wargame WW3 in 2025 using Diplomacy.
The game limits many things... but let's try to do a decent approximation both for GDP and military power.
For example USA GDP is 35 trillion. Military spending is 1 trillion. So US starts with 10 easy SCs (still takes time to get them, representing time spent on industrial production, etc).
China GDP is 18 trillion, military spending less than half the US. So china gets 7 SCs unopposed and fewer starting units.
Similar calculation for Russia, Europe, India and other players... Middle East is complicated as there is a certain balance of power between Iran, Saudi, Israel, Turkey... but for game reasons we'll treat them as one and keep them neutral at the start.
