I’ve lived in a few countries now, including the US. Define “major.” If you are only considering countries as vast as the US in landmass then only Australia, Russia, Canada, Brazil, and China can really be contenders. From 2nd/3rd hand accounts, I don’t think they pass all your qualifications. If we consider “major” as in having a hand in the formation of the US, such as England, France, Netherlands, Spain, etc. then I think you’d find a majority of those countries pass at least two of those qualifiers.
