The Country Which Has Had The Most Impact on The Modern World

[Kralizec]

...And there are more famous german philosophers than french...

I'm interested in hearing these numbers...

(in all fairness, I should point out that Rousseau is technically Swiss)

If by that you mean "in the last hundred years" then I would have to dissagree - the major ramification of WWI were the decline of the British, French and Russian states and these were US policy objectives. It was achived by sitting out most of the war and only coming in to "save the day" once Britian and France agreed to relax trade franchises, thereby gimping their economies for the next forty years.

Germany was just a patsy.

I find this analysis most...disagreeable. Heck, if the US wanted the European powers to harm eachother as much as possible, it would have been far wiser to just stay out entirely. That might have given the Germans the opportunity to exploit their success of the 1918 offensive; which they couldn't in real life, partly due to the American additions of manpower.

...

As for my own answer, assuming "modern" means everything after the 18th century...I'm leaning towards Luxembourg.
