The United States of America is a North American nation situated on the East Coast. Its economy and business power is among the highest in the world. It has often been referred to as "America's Switzerland". Despite this, they have made some small growth since the founding in 1776, but they were mainly for business (acquisition of New Orleans from Napoleon for example). They have rarely gotten directly involved in wars. They often financially support other nations when it is in their best interest, however.
