Happy Birthday, America

Happy Birthday, America. Two hundred and thirty-one isn't a bad age to be, and it is still fairly young for a nation-state. You may remain a dynamic nation for many years to come before you finally grow old and stodgy like Europe. Feel free to remain a superpower, but promise us you will keep striving to avoid the pitfalls of empire and obsolescence.
