No, it's not possessing merely roads, currency and a government.

Where are we in health care among the other first world countries? Education? Cost of education? Cost of health care? Percentage of poor living substandard lives? Aid programs to the poor? Education and housing help? What percentage are employed? Their savings rate? Their retirement quality of life? How long they live? Number of murders? Crime?
Hint: we aren't first in any of it. Except murders.

Where are we in total numbers? What percentage of the other 1st world countries have our population to deal with? How many have saved the world twice in the last century?
"Aid programs to the poor?" We must not be talking dollars here. You are officially out of your mind. Find me one country that spends 1/3 of what is spent here.
