Britain's apex is only greater until you consider the relaity that power can be exerted (more efficiently) without direct or explicit territorial control. British military power at its peak wasn't able to halt the American Revolution; in contrast, American military power's closest equivalent failure (Vietnam) did not give birth to a powerful state and ended up causing massive damage to an area without resulting any outright loss to the United States- it's like a version of the War of 1812 in which Britain caused actual, long-term damage through sheer military power and retreated not because it lost a series of major battles and had to defend itself at home (against France, Spain, and the Netherlands) but simply due to a democratic nature and overwhelming domestic opposition at a time when American losses were still easily dwarfed by Vietnamese losses.
That said, I would say that Britain's major contributions to civilization at the present match or exceed those of the United States, simply because Britain has been contributing for a longer period of time. However, as far as contributions to Western civilization go, neither Britain nor the United States come out on top when competing with entities like Rome, Greece, the Han Dynasty, and the Islamic caliphates.
Alright. What's the fastest way to transfer 100 coins, anyone? The interface, given our constraints, will only let me transfer coins in increments of 8 for now, so that kind of sucks.
I would like to correct Xapy on his remarks about South Asia,
1st,India at the moment is at good ties with China,however,if China goes to war,India will destroy China due to the fact China is alligned to Pakistan which is India's mortal enemy
2nd,South East Asia has started building naval bases in South China Sea especially Philipines which is building a Port at Chinese disputed lands,With backing from US and Japan,SEA will stand its ground against China if needed,even Vietnam.
