United States of America, the new empire of the world.

   The idea of one powerful country being the arbiter of the world might not be that bad. Looking back in history, whenever there wasn't one big country ruling a continent, many small fought harshly to dominate others. For example, in ancient China, there was an era when several countries fought to rule the entire continent. We have not made a powerful enough world organization that is unbiased to every nation. We have UN, but still it is controlled by powerful nations in Europe and USA.

Vid. The USA has the strongest military power on this planet.

   However, there is a crucial problem to that kind of system. What if the powerful country do what it wants to do? Basically there would be no solution to stop the country. Now, all countries naturally, and should, work as hard as they can for their own benefits. A nation is not some kind of volunteering service. Still, under social and moral regulations, some countries try to appear nicer than others. Some try to keep tradition, mannerism, and so on. Such countries being the arbiter of the entire world might not be that dangerous.

   The United States of American as the dominant ruler? Well, I'm not an expert in such problem, but I want to say that would be little bit dangerous. I believe that the USA is too commercial to do so. American is the most commercial country in the world. Most of international companies are of America: McDonald's, Nike, Apple, Microsoft, IBM, HP, GM, and so on. What I'm worrying is that these companies might take over the country, just as they did in the Gilded Age. A French novelist, Bernard Werber once wrote a short story about a future where there are no countries but only companies, fighting war against each other to make more profits.
