(Leaving out previously established unions/federations like the U.S., E.U., and Russia for the purposes of this poll).
[b]African Federation:[/b] While largely underdeveloped now, the African Continent has a lot of potential to be a huge player in the future. Oil, land, gold, diamonds, and economic opportunity will one day reach the continent, and if it works together as one giant entity, it will be incredibly powerful (and that's just economically).
[b]Latin American Federation:[/b] While most games like Call of Duty are fiction, the possibility of a Latin American Federation is a very real possibility that has been discussed before. Like Africa, they also have a lot of potential for the future, although they're a bit more advanced than them.
[b]Middle Eastern Federation:[/b] Strong, powerful, and the center of attention for the world right now, their oil supplies are only expected to last a few more decades. But don't underestimate how powerful it could be even after it no longer relies on oil exports for money.

None are particularly likely. Brazil is Portuguese speaking, a point of contention. Mercosur/UNASUR exist but aren't really worth mentioning. Africa is even less likely, given religious, linguistic, infrastructural and stability problems. The Middle East is never going to happen. The Shi'a-Sunni problem, not to mention the neo-Ottoman desires of Turkey, the fact Israel would never touch it, the Saudi-Iran cold war and Turkey trying to be a regional power broker while stuck between Europe and Asia. I'm going to be a bit different and go with Latin America. 600m people, largely democratic, vast natural resources (including most of the world's lithium), and slightly easier to deal with language problems since 2/3 of them speak the same language and the two languages are closely related.
