a group of nations or peoples ruled over by an emperor, empress, or other powerful sovereign or government:

America has troops stationed around the world. We have invaded at least two countries in recent times and occupy said countries to a large degree, telling them what they shall do.

What country is above us? None.

Our royalty doesn't go around wearing the badges of royalty, but nonetheless they do rule over us. They can have any of us thrown in jail, invade other countries and dictate financial matters around the world.

If it is just a moniker you are quibbling over, then what moniker would you use to describe the power America has over the rest of the world?
