If you are using American English, you would use the singular: the United States is a wonderful place. In American English the "collective noun" takes a singular verb: the team is winning; the government is strong. But in British English, they have a different rule about the collective noun. British English often uses "are" for collective nouns, where Americans use "is." That said, many speakers of British English do refer to the United States with the singular verb.
