For those who believe this, why does God give his favor to the United States in particular?

No
As Abe Lincoln once said "let us not believe that God is on our side, let us rather hope that we are on God's side"
We have had the incredible luck of living in a nation that is fertile, has in-general good weather, is naturally defencable, has an abundence of natural resources, and was founded on very progressive poticial terms. It is easy to surmise that this somehow was the sign that God has favored us, but it really was good luck and that fact that unlike Europe, Asia, or Africa. The land has only been Used(or abused) for 400 years. whereas Europe has been used for over 2000 years and Asia and Africa longer than that.

No favor.....actually,
just a test for His Beilevers. becasue only in United States will someone do a lot of nonsense and still claim Free Will and Speech.....
So the Millions of Americans are actually nothing much unless they do something for God...
God is so Powerful that creating millions of Humans lives and governing them is easy.
So why not create a powerful nation on this earth for all believers to witness and test them whether we follow His Commands.
It is to His Liking. All our Human Reasons are out of the window here....phuuuu....out.......

He used to....This country was started by Christians and our gov. was from a Christian point of view, "in God we trust" etc.
1983 - Oct. 4, 1982, Joint Resolution of Congress: "Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United States as a distinctive and blessed nation of people. Whereas Biblical teachings inspired concepts of civil government that are contained in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of The United States ... Whereas that renewing our knowledge of, and faith in God through Holy Scriptures can strengthen us as a nation and a people. Now therefore be it resolved ... that the President is authorized and requested to designate 1983 as a national "Year of the Bible" in recognition of both the formative influence the Bible has been for our nation, and our national need to study and apply the teachings of the Holy Scriptures." February 3, 1983 - President Ronald Reagan issued the above requested proclamation. President George Bush declared 1990 to be the international year of Bible reading

No. The Bible's God, ruler of the universe, runs counter to the American Constitution. He does not support democracy (He rules;Psalms 2,89,110: the King is Yawweh's son), freedom of religion (no other gods allowed) or freedom of speech (no blasphemy). The Bible's god, many believe, will throw the majority into a lake of fire.

God does not support any governments on earth although they stand in their relative position by his power, don't forget that Jesus Christ is coming back to destroy all the kingdoms of the earth because they fail to do God's will and they will be replaced by the kingdom of God.

Maybe formerly. Doesn't the europian united states national anthem glorify war? Gotta keep that patriotism going, or bring back subscription I guess.

Gen 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
Gen 49:23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
Gen 49:24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
Gen 49:25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
Gen 49:26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.
Deu 33:13 And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
Deu 33:14 And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon,
Deu 33:15 And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
Deu 33:16 And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.
Deu 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

No. He has a special place in his heart for his followers.
Perhaps there are a lot of us here and he enjoys that?
