Most Prominent States Between 2000 BC and 2000 AD

Given the dates, name the most powerful contemporary state, nation, or empire. For times where relative powers were near enough for argument I've included all possibilities. Source: This Cool Graphic
Dates in yellow are contested.
For sake of the quiz, power comes in terms of might and influence (Military, Economic, Political Power).
Approximate Dates are used a lot, since it's hard to pinpoint a date when an ancient empire on one side of the world surpassed another.
