The viewer who finds it impossible to believe that the United States could be the end-time Babylon is biblically mistaken about the definition of the mountains.
The mountains stand for seven kings and has nothing to do with land area "...The seven heads ARE seven mountains on which the woman sits, and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while."
"...the seven heads ARE SEVEN MOUNTAINS..." and, "...they [stand for] are seven KINGS..."
Rome could never have been the end-time Babylon. The end-time Babylon reigns economically over the world. It is on ocean fronts. It is an economic world super-power. And it is a military world super-power [she fears no one-chap 18] (which Rome is neither today or is unlikely to ever be in the future).
As far as the word, "city" used here, it is from a Greek word, "polis" - a town, probably from the word, "polemos - to bustle" implying a busy place of commerce also indicating strength as in warfare.
Using a word such as city (in a vision) to designate the world-wide influence of the end-time Babylon does not deny that the world power is spread over a much wider area as Chapter 18 describes.
It is clear that this world-power impacts the entire world through its economic and military strength.
