- dragonwriter 10y agoThe USA has regressed from the zenith of it's global influence, just not so far yet to stop being the power with the single greatest global influence.
- nradov 10y agoThe Roman civilization went longer before regressing, depending on when you date the beginning of their fall.

Almost all of the original inhabitants were killed, either through disease exposure or intentional genocide.
