England, of course. 

A civilising force for the good of all mankind. Welcomed with open
arms the world over for several hundred years, our friendly dominion
was universally loved by the people of all nations who invited us to
govern their helpless little countries and teach their people the
benefits of tea-time, grey flannels and a sporting fair chance for all
(which even now we continue to extend to our charmingly uncouth
antipodean cousins). 

We never asked for anything for ourselves, but devoted the flower of
each generation to the charitable work of ridding your nations of the
pestilence of rubber, spices, oil, coffee, cotton, minerals and other
undesirable commodities.

Finally we handed it all back to you whenever you asked, and there
were never any angry words between us, just the warm glow of
satisfaction that a father feels when his stupidest child finally
learns to read.

Yea, right!
