The most powerful, wealthy, technologically advanced country on Earth. It is also among the most hated nations, mostly because it rejects altruism and makes everyone else look bad.
France, 1880: "America will never be a cultural center."
America invents television.
France, 1920: America will never be a military power.
America drives the NAZI's from Western Europe(including France) and the Japanese from the Pacific Ocean.
France, 1950:"War is stupid, only losers take part in them. America is a backward, barbaric country."

The best country in the world. Where everyone is fat but no one cares because the food is just too good.

The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., the U.S. of A., the States, and America, is a country in North America. A federal republic, the United States shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Its capital is Washington, D.C.
The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by Native Americans. After 16th-century European exploration and settlement, the English established new colonies, and gained control of others, in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence; in 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states, one federal district, and a number of overseas territories.
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.1 million km²), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by area, depending on the reckoning of the disputed areas of China. It is also the world's third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.
The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on March 1, 1781. American military and economic influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the world's sole remaining superpower.

The most powerful country (Economically and otherwise) on the planet Earth. Many would say the best country in the world. Land of the Free!
Anyone that dislikes America has my support to move to some despot ruled third world country, and to get the hell out of America (or if not in America, to stay out).

If the world were a high school America would be the popular, beautiful, brilliant, rich girl who everyone knows and wants to be friends with but also has people constantly talking behind her back. She's extremely ambitious and president of many extracurricular clubs. Anytime she makes a mistake everyone tries to bring her down but her self confidence is too strong to break. When times get rough everyone turns to her for her overly generous helping hand. Yet, her peers are quick to forget about all she has done and ALWAYS go right back to talking shit about her because they can't help being jealous.
world: "I hate America, it's ignorant, pretentious, obese, annoying, and controlling."
America: "Thanks?"
world during a crisis: "America, please please please help me!"
America: "Why should I?"
world during a crisis: "Because you're wonderful, caring, and value freedom! Save us!"
America: "*Sigh* Alright, alright. I'll help you out."
world during a crisis: "Thank you! You're the best!"
world after America has helped once again: "I hate America, it's ignorant, pretentious, obese, annoying, and controlling."
