The US is in control of an "extensive group of states or countries" and its government acts as the supreme authority over those states or countries, hence it is an empire. /threadby that logic, the United Kingdom is an empire. The US is a country, each state is not a sovereign state. The UK is actually an English Empire, Wales was Annexed by England and politically joined to Scotland along with N.Ireland being under British control.
technically it's a country made up of constituent states. Doesn't really qualify as an empire. England conquered another country = Empire.
Only now the countries have the power to leave if the people want it.
