I'm fine with the US, even though the whole country seems to be kinda too bossy sometimes, just to make an example that doesn't affect politics or really important topics: why do you call yourselves "Americans" ? you aren't the only Americans, Brazilians are americans, mexicans are americans and so on is everyone who lives in the American Continent. I know, I know, you can't call yourselves Unitians or Statians but you could simmply say the name of the state you come from (?). That said I believe that a state that commands other states is necessary but just don't exagerate.
Oh and please, as an Italian, stop trying to reproduce foreign dishes, I lost most of my years of life watching Americans on YT claiming to be cooking "original Italian food" and then opening an hamburger and putting into it a chinese lasagna. Speaking of that try also to inform yourself on the kind of food you buy: many companies in US and Canada claim to be selling food that come from countries like mine while they are fully produced in the US/Canada/who knows where since your legislation makes it possible to use dangerous substances that are extremely unhealty for the human body. Probably it's also because of them that you have so many problems with obesity, let's just make the world a better place ;)
