Coup d'états would be less frequent. Population of foreign spies would decrease considerably. National cinema would flourish. Evangelicals would say the USA was enraptured, but then they would panic once they realized they were left behind. And I would laugh at them.

If the US were gone tomorrow salmon would come back to the northwest in greater numbers. We would struggle economically for a little bit since they're our biggest trading partner (worth it). The planet would clean up. Nobody could hide behind the disgusting shadow of US empire.
