Australia is critisised a lot by countries like Indonesia, etc... we get as good as you get. But your country is in a position of power and a lot of focus is in your direction, both positive and negative. Don't forget that there are positive things being said about your country too along with the negative.

In the case with SAC, they needed a reason for certain events to take place and they couldn't do it without the most powerful country of this generation to have a big part in it. They needed to create a world where people have suffered and there is much unrest, what better way to do that? You wouldn't get the same results if it were any other country. I'm sure if the Soviet Empire was still going strong it would've been them instead of an "American Empire" in SAC.

Also remember that many animes have dealt with corruption of societies and I know that you know that a lot of animes have set a scene where Japan has become corrupted and is decaying in a pit of human misery...
