A plausible scenario.
Its implementation requires only:
1) A leader (not necessarily a superpower. Britain is the most likely candidate).
2) A powerful intelligence apparatus (and again, Britain).
3) Conditions in which the winning country does not begin to lord it over the others (riots, riots, riots... who needs it?).
My opinions for the pot.
1) It won't be a SUPERPOWER. They usually become complacent and go to hell. Rather, either a "young and ambitious" one, or an "old and experienced" one, but not a superpower.
2) And for the reason stated above, the actions will be the most compromising (if the leader of the young country has enough sense. Old countries, having had colonies, remember from history how "fun" it is when the colonies start to revolt).
Honestly, the idea is plausible. (But still... preparation will take at least 30-40 years. And then... it looks like playing roulette with God as the dealer.).
