The United States is the richest country in the world. One way of measuring this is gross domestic product (GDP), which is the amount of goods and services in a year produced by a country. According to the World Bank, the US GDP is 14 Trillion. The next richest country is Japan with five trillion and then China with about five trillion. Sometimes the places of second and third will differ by using measurements by the International Monetary Fund or the CIA World Factbook, but the US is still number one. The European Union will appear number one with 16 trillion in terms of GDP too, but they are a aggregate of many countries.

What is a land owned by another country called?

A colony. As in the British calling us "The Colonies". We fought a war of independance, and became an independant republic. In the colonial age, many European countries had colonies in the New World. Spain had Cuba and Puerto Rico. The French had Haiti, which was at that time one of the richest colonies in the New World, because of its natural resources. Colonies brought great wealth and prosperity to the European countries. Britain recently fought a war in the Faulklands to exercise it's right of ownership over that tiny island off the coast of Argentina.
