We don't need to write stories, just summaries.
 * You're still going to have a lot of work on your hands, writing articles for every single little country you make out of the USA. Then you'll have to edit the USA article. I doubt any of it will actually get done, seeing how most people are also busy with other projects.

Switzerland was punt and surrounded by mountains.
 * The USA is surrounded by lots of water. And still, how do you expect the USA to draw attention to itself when it barely gets involved?

When was the last time they were in a real war?

''Yeah, it's about the countries going off to war that could have been avoided. But the generals and country leaders helped with battles and stuff.''
 * You don't exactly see your history books focusing directly on the generals when they talk about wars, do they? Countries usually act as a whole.
