No.

1: Remarkably stable for a revolutionary republic.

2: Spends a disproportionately large amount per capita on space science.

3: The go-to nation for movies with explosions in them.

4: Despite decades of anti-immigrant measures, still attracts largest absolute number of immigrants of any nation on Earth.

5: The only place I've ever had decent biscuits and gravy.
