Carbinekilla, you're still under the illusion that the U.S. of A is still allmighty and powerful. The thing is, we've lost LOTS of power since World War II, our peak of power. Since then, a lot of jobs have been sent to other countries, meaning we're basically shipping our money to other countries.
I laugh at all the people who can't do geography for their life giving this game a 1/5. Even though I believe "Congo" is the "Democratic Republic of the Congo".
