We are not the New Rome. We are Better than Rome.

We are Americans.

We have the best possible bread, and most amazing circuses.

We're different from Rome, because we're gonna stay on top of the world forever!

America will eventually fall to the status of Britian or France today.

And whom, may I ask, do you think will be the "New Lead Nation?"

That depends on when we do fall to that status.

If we fall in the next 50 years (very unlikely but it is a possiblity) then China may take over if they can pull themselves together or the EU might be able to take charge. Or both. Realistically, the US and one or both of those two countries would share superpower status for a good amount of time before one breaks down.

If happens after 2050 then I have no idea because countries change power very quickly. Sooner or later America will fall to the status of Britian or France, it probably won't happen in the next century but it will happen eventually.

I'm sure there will be a major change in nation status in the next 50 to 100 years. Countries may merge together or we'll be divided only by continents - I think the world will be so different in 50 yrs due to technological advances and whatnot.

Then again

may come and visit us, or we may have outposts elsewhere in the universe.
