How do you define a nation? Rome, Byzantium, the Ottoman empire, etc., those were all empires. You can debate whether you want to consider them nations.
The US is an empire unless indigenous peoples don’t count
Same for the US, if you want to debate semantics.
Lol debating semantics is exactly what's happening in this post
