The only two wars that the United States could never claim a victory for would be the Korean War, since it ended in a cease-fire and stalemate; and the Vietnam War, because we were gradually pushed back and finally withdrew from the country at Saigon, the largest city in non-Communist southern Vietnam at that time (1975).

A shortened form of The United States of America. This country is located below Canada in North America and is governed by two dominant political parties. Unfortunately for Americans, one of these parties -- known as the Republican party -- is composed of paranoid schizophrenic religious nutjobs who seem committed to living in the past instead of planning for the future. Because both parties are roughly equally balanced in power, little progress is made in America's political system, as the Republican party attempts to destroy the country while everyone else attempts to save it. Overall, the United States of America is a horrible place to live, especially if you have a vagina.
Person 1: "Damn! The republicans are at it again!"
Person 2: "What is it now?"
Person 1: "They're trying to slash funding for the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Planned Parenthood program, and all of our other public service programs!"
Person 2: "Fuck, man! They're trying to destroy the United States! It's time to move to Canada."
Person 1: "Fuck yeah!"

The epitome of superpower in the twentieth century, and early in the twenty first. However, this economic growth was shattered by war-hungry conservatives who's eyes lit up as they realized the immense opportunity they had at riches in the Middle-Eastern Oil industry. So, as a result of this greed they staged an terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the purpose behind this was to rally support behind the war effort so they could reap the benefits of the vast oil in the middle east. However, the "crusade" on terror, and oil was halted in its tracks with surprisingly tough resistance from the Taliban. Ex-President Bush was concerned, but arrogant so his administration persisted in it's "crusade". As time went on citizens became more impatient about the capture of Bin Laden, but the U.S. Billion dollar intelligence couldn't find a trace. This of course was just a cover-up of the real means behind the war, which was oil, but that too went up in flames when the U.S. announced the invasion of Iraq, country's began to withdraw support from the U.S. cause, and Saddam's scorched earth policy left no oil behind for the conservatives to use. Pride and fear of being found out kept the conservative administration persisting in the war, however they soon realized that the financial motivation behind the war turned on them, and that they had put us in debt over our heads. Without oil to repay the war debt, we just continued to spiral out of control. Now, years later, we have a Liberal Administration in office, but they are left with shambles of what this country used to be. The Conservative leeches nearly sucked this country dry of everything our forefathers worked and died to protect. With the economy in ruins, unemployment at a decade high, and the housing market in chaos, the future of the United States of America as a world power looks bleak at best and impossible at worst. In the future when one looks back at the history of this nation they will realize that corruption, and greed triggered it's demise. "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Ex-President Bush is scum, and we the people of the United States need to be informed of this coward, and menace that we let ruin our country.

The greatest nation in the entire planet. Just because we have not passed laws and amendments promoting and legalizing every single thing, it doesn't mean our government is a fascist dictatorship. So we don't allow gay marriage and dangerous drugs like ecstacy or cocaine. Big deal.
This massive country consisting of 50 states and over 280 million people is divided into several regions, and every single race and ethnic group resides within the United States of America. Every kind of religion and language is found in different parts of this fine country.
The regions include New England and the Mid-Atlantic States in the Northeast; The Deep South, Upper South (Tennessee/southernmost third of Kentucky), and the Lower Mississippi Valley in The South; The Ohio River Valley, Great Lakes States, the Upper Mississippi Valley, and the Northern Plains in The Midwest; The Rio Grande Valley, the Southern Plains, the Rocky Mountains, The Sonoran and Mojave Deserts, Lake Mead, and Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas in southern California, all part of the Southwest; The Rocky Mountains sprawl over roughly six consecutive states, and extends well up into Canada. Finally, the Cascade Mountain Range, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's, and the Snake and Wilamette River Valleys make up the Pacific Northwest. The states of Alaska and Hawaii are located very far off the mainland of America. Alaska is adjacent to the western border of Canada and near the Arctic Ocean, while Hawaii is composed of a series of islands surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

A country trying to copy the United Kingdom. And also a place where politics is the most talked about thing.
Dave wanted to visit the United States but he didn't want to face discrimination of political opinions, so he went to Canada instead.

The US is the shittiest country. It’s so fucking racist and full of misogynistic white men. A lot of people around the world come here but it shouldn’t feel special because they only come here for opportunities, although it’s not a big deal I have a country but apparently people think it’s the best even though it sucks ass! Americans are so full of themselves and that racism shit OH NO!!! They don’t even season their food like how can you be so proud eating bland ass shit? There’s no way to sugarcoat it it’s a dumb fucking country and the colonizers are just feeling themselves a lil too much. They culture appropriate other cultures and they’re always so on edge to just change themselves and just act like they’re from this country or they’re black so they can say the N-word. They’re so welcome to do Asian fishing, black fishing, literally disrespect other countries cultures and they don’t even have one. so fucking rude smh
