US on par with Albania. Nice.

The US can claim "#1" status in 3 areas only:

- a large number of top-class research universities (other countries have these two but in much much smaller number)

- the most dominant military-industrial complex

- deregulated pro-business environment that is a good place to make a fortune if you're talented & lucky, or know how to bullshit investors
