Try this idea: the relative minor of B Major is G# minor. The
parallel Major of G# minor is G# Major. As has been said before, the
key signature would be the 7 sharps plus (going by the circle of
fifths) the additional F# which would then give an F double sharp and
the key of G# Major. Theoretically one could go further and have
enharmonic equivalents of all the flat keys. G# Major is the
enharmonic equivalent of Ab Major.
