We developed most of what is the Modern World. For those that still suggest Italy etc. ask yourselves, what langage are you typing in?

Both China and Russia have killed millions upon millions of their own people just in the past 100 years, all in the name of the greater good and communism.

How is resisting Rome admirable? The Romans although very brutal at times are perhaps the single greatest nation ever, the Scots had balls so what? Furthermore, yes Adam Smith is awesome, however many modern concepts of economics although pulled out of capitalism in many ways come from the US. Fordism? Post-Fordism? The US took European civilization moved it west modified it and created our own culture which has contributed more to the modern era than every nation except Rome and the British Empire. And to those who say our power only began after WWII spare me. We had the worlds largest economy by the 1890's if you consider only domestic product. Theres a reason the Brits who quite frankly are awesome, asked the US to help them in both World Wars. In a very brief span the US has contributed more to the modern world than most other nations have through their entire history. From planes to computers to the internet. We do belong on this list, we are a great nation. End of Story. To those who put Scotland. How is resisting Rome admirable?

Once again, the contributions of these civilizations is minimal if not non-existent. The only thing I can say for them is that they left a few cool archaeological sites. The Mayans were bloodthirsty morons with a penchant for astrology and mathematics. The Incans couldn't even write, they used quipu, little knots as their form of writing.
