Hmmm, I would rate Russia #3, Prussia #4, Spain #5 at this time, Austria #6 then Ottoman Empire #7... Spain only had the real power to defend.. not really conquer. Prussia under old Fritz XD completely destroyed everyone in the War of Austrian Succession but was overwhelmed by Russia's sure mass of soldiers as France's Army was. Either way Prussia still is a major superpower since the Ottomans lacked the European Technology.. Remember they would charge with just mere swords..
