"Americanistic"

I coined a new word while in Kuwait.

Americanistic
adjective
: having American characteristics, but modified by foreign elements; a fusion of American and other cultures.

Americanistic civilization - refers to the spreading of American culture over the rest of the globe since the rise of the USA as a super-power in the post-WWII era.

I thought of this after reading a review of the movie "300." My mind wandered to Alexander the Great and how his conquering of the then known world infused Greek culture into all the regions where he passed (even though his empire quickly fell apart). Greece was "Hellenic." The areas that were influenced by its culture were "Hellenistic."
