It has a Constitution Which prevents attacks on the citizenry by the Government for saying things it may disapprove of. It prohibits big religious groups from taking over it's politics.



It isn't as good a country as it is made out to be sometimes, but it is still a country whose founding principles of freedom are still respected and deferred to above all else. For this reason alone it is a better country than most other places in the World where people are treated like slaves. Posted by: Installgentoo Report Post

I think so. If you polled the world I'm sure we would be the #1 destination for where people would want to relocate. Yes we're not perfect but we're not a third world nation, we have every kind of climate (unlike say Norway), We are not overpopulated yet, our education could be better but not free-er to a child, we have the best emergency care in the world (admittedly crappy preventative care), we are nearly uninvadable at the moment (thanks to geography and a bloated "defense" budget), our economy could be better but it's still pretty darn good, and we attracted the smartest most brilliant minds in the world (usually).



OK this needs to be worked on we house 1/4 of all the inmates in the world, this is a shame because in China you can go to jail for telling the truth (Tienanmen Square). We are the #1 consumer of illicit drugs, so a lot of violence in Latin America is financed by our habits. Our dropout rate is shamefully high 20-30%. Yeah yeah we have weight issues. Everybody is in debt but we only get in trouble if we ever stop spending money we don't have. We have a lot of "functioning illiterates" in our populace and we suck at math according to world rankings of students. We actually have a lot of poor people, 1 out every 6 persons is on food stamps. We seem to have a bizarre problem with crazed gunmen every few months. True we have our flaws but the USA is the worlds greatest rags to riches story ever told.



Granted maybe Sweden or Japan can compete at being the best by some kind of formula and best could be determined on a case by case basis. However, neither Sweden or Japan can take refugees by the millions and give them the standard of living we can and do. I think being the only Superpower in the hemisphere gives us advantages not realistic any where else. Africa is unstable, I would not like to live in China or Russia or near them, sorry Asia and E. Europe and parts of the Middle East come to think about it. Europe is crowded, small, and until the last 60 years usually locked in war (not as true for E, Europe). I don't wat to be a neighbor of a country that has AL-kill-you operating in it so that's all the Middle East and much of Africa. Last but not least Latin America, Brazil would be nice but it's violent. Venezuela is chaotic and so is El Salvador. Mexico has had more Drug War casualties than Iraq has had in War War casualties. The Caribbean and Canada? Well let's just say the neighbor is kinda of a bully. Posted by: abelsmack Report Post

Because it the first for a lot The United States of America is the best country in the world because it is the most stable unified countries on earth. There are 50 states unified as the United States of America under one flag which is amazing considering the rest of the world like europe which isn't. I think the USA is the only superpower for a reason, because we the US are a mixture of everyone from every nation. There is no true americans because we all came from somewhere else, even natives. Overall the US is the greatest nation because we are in charge of a lot of things and have a good constitution that's not fake. We were the first to accept many things like all of the freedoms as well and most countries try to copy the US. Posted by: Bender75 Report Post

Of course it is Why is the question "Is America the best country in the world?" instead of "Is (any other country) the best country in the world?"? The reason is because nobody would even suggest that some other POS country could be the best. That, in and of itself, proves that America is indeed, the best country in the world! Report Post

Learn some respect America is the greatest country that ever existed and if you disagree then you can leave it. The fact that you have the freedom to disagree is proof. Until you move to another country, how about you learn to respect the land you live in and the people who have died to protect it for you. Posted by: tristan21629 Report Post

Land Of The Free First of all, in no other country around the world do you have as many rights as you do in the US because of the simple fact that the US is the greatest country of the face of the Earth. It is truly the one and only true land of oppourtunity. Report Post
