WOW! Obviously you have never served in the armed forces for your country nor have you lived for any duration in any other country than the U.S. other than to visit. No disrepect intended to other nations, but if you had, I do not think you would consider the U.S. being grouped with other nations as a part of THEIR country and government an option. No other government can come close to this one. While it is NOT perfect (FARRRRRRRRRR from it) it is the best there is to date and hopefully will get better.
Now the units of measurement, languages, etc are all changeable in my opinion! :o)
