Interesting I didn't know that fact about Bermuda!. In my opinion US of America is because of Puerto Rico, Guantanelmo Bay, Alaska, and its over 300 International army bases worldwide, also its recent occupation of Iraq!. Every Empire has had the same intentions, to spread liberty, democracy and morals!. England can also still be called an Empire, it also depends on your definition of Empire!. There are theories on Neo-Colonialism and Virtual Colonialism!. Neo-Colonialism, from what I understand is the newest form of Imperialism!. It does not mean territorially bound!. One can spread culture as well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

China!. They call it a "peoples republic", but really the boss of the Chinese Communist Party is no different than the emperors before him!. He and his cronies still rule the land with an iron fist!. It's just not as obvious as it once was!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
