It all depends on your criteria for the greatest. There are nations with more educated populations, lower abortion rates, more advanced technology, etc. If you consider the most technologically advanced nation to be the best, then it would probably be Japan or South Korea. If you consider it to be the most Christian nation, then it would probably be Italy or Poland (since those nations have large numbers of real, practicing Catholics). If you consider it to be the most environmentally consciencious nation, then it would be one of the European nations, since they have extensive environmental programs. America is not a jack of all trades you know.

Never went to college, maybe I should have. I can't disagree with what you are saying either, but I know I have contributed the least amount I can to the trade deficit.
I believe this country still offers more individual rights and freedoms
than any other and if so that makes it the greatest country imo. Other wise I would move to the country that was.
