The USA is an empire. They conquered took all their land from Native Americans, the British, or Mexico. Don't deny it.

In hindsight, many people regret that the Unification War resulted in the destruction of so many cultures, and there's growing concern over whether or not world peace was really worth it.

In all seriousness? It would probably be the fact that industry has wiped away all but the most stubborn peices of the natural beauty that was once common within the land.

We care too much...

Nah, our greatest downfall would probably be world peace due to the nature of our military-industrial complex. With most industries related to arms manufacturing and development, a lasting peace would be bad for us economically. Economic collapse would probably destroy the country, but world wars are also dangerous in the human extinction kind of way.

The greatest downfall of Kandorith was the Invasion of Argonia.

Over four thousand years of history were destroyed when the heavily outdated armed forces of Kandorith were defeated and the capital was brought to it's knees by chemical warfare.

After the downfall a communist dictatorship struck down the pride of the nation, only to revolt and re-instate the imperial system; which eventually turned out to be corrupt and would be defeated in a major civil war.

They say the next downfall is just a matter of time.

Inoroth's weakness is that she want's to unite all Italians in Vapor into one unified nation, which sometimes forces her to act when she should not. She also often sticks her nose into places it doesn't belong... Like I am about to do now:

I personally LOVE the USA, but I am willing to look critically at our past.

As far as stolen/conquered territory, don't forget we annexed Hawaii even though the people wished to be independent, we tried to "Administer" Cuba and the Philippines, and our desire for Canada was a big factor/cause of the War of 1812.

On the other side, we got Florida from Spain in a legal treaty, and don't forget we bought the Louisiana Territory from Napoleon and the Alaska territory from the Russians fair and square (Boy, did they lose out in the long term though!). I know it is not really a consolation, but we 'bought' the land from Mexico after we took it, trying to make amends (I personally don't think this was enough, but it was something at least.)

I guess my point is that America had this vision of 'Manifest Destiny' in her head, and sometimes it caused her to act badly. But the story doesn't end there. America also did so much right during the same time. America's history is full of good and bad... but then, which country hasn't had their share of evil deeds? America is not perfect, but she is a d*mn good place all the same!!! USA!!! USA!!! UUUUUUUU-S-AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

Most likely: Democratic rebellion. Considering that the people can vote for Councillors but the Royal Family is still the de facto Head of State, they'll probably want to change that. Maybe with the U.S or some other nation in the Pony Lands that's like the U.S when it comes to democracy and overthrowing autocrats or monarchs in favor of sycophants.

If you mean 'downside', then one could point out that the Herd's laissez-faire market policy and an almost complete lack of government-provided social security leads to some massive living standard and income disparity across the nation. Our theocratic form of government is also often criticized, but we maintain that our theocracy is fairly sensible and benevolent, and that theocracies should not be universally stereotyped as tyrannies run by bearded men in funny hats spouting death to infidels. Also, an extremely interventionist and aggressive foreign policy that has in turn led to the military budget getting extremely bloated during the last few years.

If you do mean 'downfall', then we imagine the Herd's downfall would be an invasion by an alliance of vastly more powerful nations that would be able to overwhelm both the Herd's allies and its own strong military. The Herd itself is quite stable, and any internal threat severely damaging the nation is unlikely.

The Idealismania government tries to fund too many services and projects so that the tax rate has to be extremely high. It tries to generate revenue and limit spending by building up a large tourist industry and spending very little on the military.

All uou have to do is read our factbook. It's pretty obvious, but for those who are too lazy, we live in a nuclear hell hole. The average temperature here is -102° F, the entirety of the nation is poisoned by radiation, and our people live in dark, damp, and overcrowded mass tunnel systems underground.
Please note that even though I am a puppet, my nation holds no IC relations with Katyuscha.
