Mine would have to be the Byzantine Empire. I always felt they were underappreciated, in terms of defending the West from the rising Muslims

[DarthCaine]

Age of Empires 2 and Civilization 4

Emperor Alexius approves.

The United States of America. Not much to look at now, but America did save the world from Soviet Communism.

It has already fallen, just nobody wants to admit it since many nations are tied to its strength/success. Bush was probably the last president in terms of the time when the U.S.A. had tremendous power, now I find that people consider them a great civilization laughable.

[Halfdan The Menace]

Prehistoric dinosaurs, ancient Sumerians, ancient Chinese, ancient Romans and the Vikings.

You really have to specify when you're talking about "ancient Chinese." The dynasties were pretty diverse.

I don't much like any empire. They should mind their own damn business.

Expanding to gain ressources, increase power and ensure better security for their borders is minding their own business.
