Empire

Empire is a nation that has military superiority over all nations of the world and uses that power to influence activities of other nations.

The United States emerged as an empire following the conclusion of WW II. Following then end of WW II each action the USA takes has repercussions for every nation of the world directly or indirectly. American leaders strive to influence the political makeup of all nations.

America spends more on it’s military than the next 22 largest counties combined, and that figure does not include money spent on active conflicts which would double the US spending figure and would put it’s spending at more than the rest of the world combined.

Due to the technological and monetary commitment to its military the United States enjoys free reign over world events. Although the US requests the approval of friendly nations before proceeding with global actions, it is just as likely to act without any approval even from its closest allies, which it of course does not need. In reality the US answers only to its voters at election time, for once elected the President has free reign to determine world events for 4 years.

In its short history Americas leaders positioned the nation as the most powerful empire the world has known
