In New York City or Chicago you can expect snow at Christmas. In London you get sleet and slush; the locals shrug and call it "seasonable weather".

No. British food is better. Our toast is cold??? Where did you get this from?

The UKIP is really that country's best hope, but unfortunately, the British are literally too stupid to understand the difference between "libertarian" and "fascist".

The USA is doing something similar, but at a MUCH slower rate. Our left-wing lunatics are only held in check by religious lunatics who aren't really much better. I'm just sitting here waiting for the Republican party to hurry up and die so that the Libertarian party can take its place.

Politics: Decisive American victory

Historically, I don't think that any hegemony has ever existed that wasn't build on a foundation of human skulls. Neither the Pax Americana nor the Pax Britannica were exceptions. However, the USA has generally shown less tolerance and more remorse for war crimes committed in its name than the UK has (for example, the US actually sent its own soldiers to prison for participating in the Mai Lai massacre), and has shown more of an overall aversion to civilian casualties. We've been less eager to acquire overseas colonies, and more willing to let them go (Cuba, Philippines). Also, we're the only country to ever defeat Japan in a war.

History: Decisive American victory

The UK was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, but the USA is where it found a home. Not long after James Watt perfected the steam engine, every Tesla and Einstein was coming to the USA to put their talents to work. Since then, most scientific and technological breakthroughs from light bulbs to lasers have come from the USA. But at least you guys cloned a sheep back in the '90s in an attempt to stay relevant, so that's something.

Science/technology: slight American victory

Th UK does have a few things going for it. For one thing, they are members of the glorious Metric mater race, whereas Americans are still trying to remember how many grains are in a carat.The British also have the good sense to use the word "football" to refer to a game played entirely with one's feet, whereas Americans use it to refer to a game in which the ball is almost exclusively thrown or carried. On the other hand, y'all really need to stop calling things "crisps". No human is capable of making that "spspsps" sound without putting more effort into it than they put into the entire rest of the sentence put together. "Chips" and "fries" will suffice. Also, learn how to pronounce the letter "r". Even the Japanese do it better than you.

Language and expression: indecisive

Sorry lads- there is no argument, America basicly wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Britain. America isn't acctually a full democracy whilst Britain is and pretty much everything in America is fake and commercialised, in other words its a shithole.

Do you enjoy burning your mouth?

What the fuck is a jello salad, and why are you judging British cuisine based on your experience with one such abomination at a tube station/tourist trap?

What kind of Yorkshire pudding has inbuilt meat?

Britain no longer innovates instead they outsource everything, sell everything to foreign companies and fund other countries to do it

Actually neither is britain, we have a monarchy and the house of lords. Additionally we do not have proportional votes, it's all based in constituancies making results not entirely representative of the population.

Many people who are not American have a negative view of America because they are subjected to stereotypes. Removing said stereotypes is the only way to definitively answer the question.
Views expressed by this nation or actions taken in game are merely for amusement and DO NOT correlate with my views personally outside of this game and should not by any wait or measure be taken as such.

It is the American word for jelly, though who knows why you would put it in a salad. But then who would order sausage and jam?
