I'm pretty sure all our cars are the same (German and Japanese)
Which Anglo country is the best out of all these things, UK, USA, Canada or Australia:
Friendliness: Australia. Aussies seem to be more outgoing than Canadians, more laid back than the Brits, and less argumentative than Americans.
Location: UK. Easy Access to Continental Europe.
Lifestyle: Maybe Canada or Australia. Less pressure just to stay afloat like there is in the States and less ridiculous media noise like in the UK.
Weather: USA. We've got any sort of climate, short of Equatorial Tropics, that you could desire.
Nightlife: USA. As above, the US has whatever you are looking for.
Tourist attractions: USA for national parks, UK for history.
Economic diversity: USA. If manufacturing continues to come back then the US will remain at or near the top for a long time to come. No offense, but are any of the other countries even close? Cultural contribution: UK. Thanks for making English a global language and making me lazy when it comes to learning other languages.
Urban living: USA. Every sort of urban living is available. And NYC>London.
History: UK with USA a close second.
Architecture: USA. Unless you're a Hobbit, then UK.
Transportation: UK. It helps to be a small island in this respect, though.
Education: Tie between UK and USA. UK has probably the most prestigious university in Oxford but the US has an entire Ivy "League" and many excellent state universities. The others arguable surpass it in the levels prior to university though.
Natural scenery: USA-Canada-UK(edges out Australia with Scotland)-Australia
Cost of Living: USA. You can still live cheaply in some nice parts of the country.
Political Stability: Canada. Australia has to worry about China expanding and the Government Shutdowns in the US are growing tiresome. I suppose the UK is fairly stable but the politics are too confrontational there.
The Politics: Canada or Australia. Politics in the US have become a circus and the UK is not far behind. The other two countries don't seem to have the intractable "Us vs. Them" mentality, at least not yet.
Economical Stability: Canada or Australia. They don't have the financial centers of Wall Street and The City. And I don't really recall hearing about much booming and busting in either of those places but then again, I'm not an Economic History professor.
Fun: USA has just about everything from nature to culture and history. With the others it just depends what you're into. Canada for nature and winter sports. Australia for nature as well and summer sports like surfing. The UK for culture and history.
I think English being a lingua franca probably has much more to do with American influence than with British.
they did but europeans destroy it.... the spaniards for example burned the mayan library which had more than 4 thousand years of indigenous of the americas history recorded.
The pre-Columbian tribes that inhabited the modern day US lacked a writing system, so were therefore unable to record their history.
The Mayans are unrelated to this thread since we are discussing the USA.
There are a lot of things America wouldn't exist without. Columbus comes to mind. So does Rome (the Roman Republic is the basis of American government).

But the existence of an English speaking civilization in North America was a direct and deliberate result of English/British foreign policy.

It has everything to do with the British Empire, in fact America is simply another foreign country speaking English thanks to the British Empire! I think Americans speak English has much more to do with British influence than anything else no?
UK is declining in many ways and the U.S. will be eclipsed by Mexico within a decade.
