If the balance of power had to shift away from the US, I would probably be most comfortable with Australia becoming the dominant world power.
They keep to themselves, are stable, and have pretty much stood by the USA in the past. Also, due to their location, I don't think we would ever have to worry about them trying to take over the world.
