There is no "best" country. Patriotism is not the belief of "my country is the best because I was born there", rather it is the knowledge of what you owe your country based upon what your country has given you. Those who are born in countries like American, Britain, and Australia (among others) certainly owe their countries a great deal of loyalty and civic participation, but no country is "better."

the United States is the world's only superpower.  it outspends all other countries COMBINED on its military/defense.  it may be that soon, it will be rivalled as the world's strongest economy, but when it comes to military might, the U.S. has no competitors even close to it.

Hahaha! I like the spirit but perhaps this should be answered by someone unbiased and neutral.. that's me!\n\nWhile the USSR was truly mighty once upon a time, currently the strongest military force on the planet is the USA, whether you like it or not. Russia still has a formidable arsenal but they are certainly not as powerful as the US of A. Also, their economy will not be able to bear the strain of a full fledged modern conflict and so the USA it is again.

I definitely think people should judge nations. Countries like North Korea, Iran, and the Sudan are threatening the lives of millions, in some cases threatening the entire world. So in that sense one nation can be judged greater than another.\n\nI believe culturally and politically India is a stronger nation.

think of the defense system of your country. the stronger it is the more It'll be able to defend off incoming threats. well the body's the same way. so eat good an walk alot so you can get some fresh air in your lungs... or in some cases fresh smog, but a little sunshine never hurts.

well each country keeps on developing newer and better weapons to oppose another, in case of conflict / war. If you want to survive, then yes.

One nation under God indivisible...\n\nFrom the pledge of allegiance. I can't believe you actually got religious answers...

Argentina.  They have the firepower.  And everyone's saying Brazil, so this is different.

That all depends on what faction of power you are speaking of. If you are talking about militarily it will be a long time before we are surpassed. If you are talking about technology and economy we are already going to the weak side. Asian countries are more disciplined and work harder for what they have and the work ethics here in America are terrible. People want a free ride and that will be our demise. Our goverment should not have to be the driving force behind our economy and style of life. When and if people start taking responibility for their actions and work hard again this country will turn around. Until then we will continue to fall apart at the seams that once made our country strong.

I would think it'd be the Balance of Powers between the three branches of government.\n\n[EDIT]  Okay, I'm changing my answer - based only on a tiny paragraph I just read, but I think this is right:  a strong central government can protect the nation from external threats.  [National Defense]  \n\n(Rather than each state or small groups of states defending itself/themselves against outside nations (enemies), the central government joins its forces and protects the nation (all states) as a whole.)

Federal Republic does better than either one of those you listed, due to the divided and difused power that the various levels of government has so that power doesn't become concentrated in one area

It depends on what you mean by "strong."  Either one can be stronger in their own way.

its were the different countries come together and can compete against each other and see who is ultimately the best of the best.

One is a country and the other is an economy?
