In the process USA looses all knowledgede of space travel - actually, it's common knowledge that the earth ends not far from the coast and wich is proven by the holy edicts of the president. But that's able to be proven false with very basic math and science. Would such knowledge also be eliminated? What would happen to people who were in NASA and crap? What about chartographers and stuffs?

Well, my point is that the societal impacts of changing America to not realizing this would make America extraordinarily unlike America as we know it today.

So, we need to better define what the hell this new America is before we can figure out what would happen.

It's just hard to guage how America itself would react because America would be so radically altered! The existance of other nations is a point so pervasive and needed in everyday life.

I mean imagine a aluminum manufacturer, where the hell is he gonna get his bauxite?

Where are we going to get our oil?

How is this religious government going to explain the simultaneous collapse of the economy?

Why wouldn't anyone figure out that Earth is in fact much bigger using newtonian gravity and two sundials?

The before hypothetical questions at least dealt with known alterations. We know what America/The rest of the world is currently like and was like millenia ago. This hypothetical question deals with some bizzare crazy America that bares only similar geography to that we know today but the people would be utterly altered to the point of almost unrecognizeability.

Yep, you are the type that don't ask questions and say yeah when you are told. So you're admitting that this is some sort of joke?

After breeding up for a dozen generations, AQ will have long forgotten their old grudge. The USA will just be some kind of mythical enemy.

Meanwhile, Allah will come along and be like "What the hell? Where has Mecca gone?!! I'm blaming Bush!" and then Allah will nuke USA from orbit.

AQ wins!

Fishermen would take to the sea and follow the catch. Some would feel the spirit of adventure and head out upon the seas, not giving a rats ass what the president says. They would find new lands and colonize them, eventually meeting their unknown enemy who would attack them. Our boys don't put up with that crap, so we would bring our numbers to bear and eventually wipe them out, losing some of ours in the process. Then, the world would be perfect, except can the Philippines be spared also? I'd really appreciate it.
