Which country has the largest sphere of influence in the world.?

Is it Mauritius if not did mauritius ever have the largest sphere of influence in the world.

Answers:
England.
NOT Mauritius.. it is USA.
Presently it is USA but I think that Spain or England has been the larges in the past.
Italy - remember the ROmans.
Optimal word here---HAS-- that has to be the USA

Had the word been --HAD-- that probably would have had to have been GREECE
England
It was The British Empire. at it's peak it controlled over ¼ of the world., ranging from South America, parts of Canada, Japan, austrailia, India, etc.

Where the Romans only controled most of Europe and parts of Africa..

At the moment it'll be a toss between China, Russia, (since they are the biggest nations in terms of Land Mass), and USA since they are the sole world power, at this time.
It varies with the times..

Ancient times: Greece, then the Roman Empire
XVI Century: Spanish Empire
XVII Century: French Empire (Napoleon)
XIX Century until WWII: British Empire

Currently: United States (empire)
Future: Probably China
easy. USA
i would say at this moment in time, iraq or israel.

From about 1400-1650, The Spanish, and less extent the Portugese

1750-1900 British
Since 1900 USA
(except possibly, and arguably 1936-1945 Germany, 1987-90 Japan)

Probably China from 2050

(Specifically, Amsterdam.)
