I think I have a huge Western bias, so please, if you choose 6, please post in detail.

it would rather be the Roman empire or the British empire

but i like Italians better haha

U.S.A. I just love this land so much.

China. They were the wealthiest and most influential civilization for the longest time.

Yeah, but they closed off from the rest the world. So british empire imo, i mean they owned us all lol

America- it has propelled society forward faster than any other society.

I'm going to be lazy and say the Akkadian Empire.

Roman Empire to the west.

China to the east.

Overall: British Empire

I have no idea if that makes sense, but I'll just go with that.

british.

Honestly, at this point I'm not sure it's really possible to tell. It's surprising how many modern institutions, customs, and traditions can be traced much further back than even the ancient civilizations you listed: back as far as Egypt, Babylon, or even Sumeria. There's also China, whose influence on the West goes back much further than many people realize, especially where gaming is concerned: dice, dominoes, and playing cards all came from there.
