The U.K. is still around. Their empire is diminished, but they seem to be doing pretty well. The Japanese have been around for millenia. The Chinese have been aroudn for millenia as well.

Governments change, but the people endure. The U.S. isn't going to lose its wealth in a generation or two, unless there was a nuclear war. I can imagine a scenario where immigration slows to a trickle and our population ages considerably until we are in a slow decline. But that doesn't seem likely considering that everyone projects immigration will accelerate over the next few decades.

John accuses me of a little paranoia, but I think he's overdone it a bit himself with the "End of the American Empire" scenario.
