I disagree. Most Americans know we are the fire nation/empire from Star Wars.

Well at least most people I know.

I think we're more like the Alliance from Firefly.

Most people are just trying to go about their day-to-day, and the war and major imperialism was done a long time ago. Now there are a few in the government who keep doing evil shit, but for the most part it's a big useless bureaucracy.

That people don't know about because it isn't covered in the media unless you actively look for that info. So it might as well have happened a long time ago
