Empire: a group of countries under a single authority
Not sure the U.S. qualifies under that definition. Though we influence and hold partial sway over some governments, we hardly rule them.

Yes it is. Americans like to believe the propaganda that they're only omnipresent because they've "been invited in" by other nations, or that they'e "liberating" people and "spreading democracy", but what their gov't is really doing is putting its fingers in all the pies. It's an economic empire that really took off following WWII
