What does the second beast from the land represent in revelations of john?

I have reaserched a lot about it. COnsidering that the first beat is the Roman Empire and the Papacy the eighth kingdom explained in Revelation 17, I saw people defining the second beast as: 1. The Catholic Priesthood (but it's not a nation (a beast), so I doubt it). 2. The U.S.A. nation. ( but it haven't made all people to worship the first beast: the Papacy) 3. The Jesuits. (They made many people to worship the pope, but they're not a kingdom) What I think: I think the Second Beast is the Sacred Empire (German), because it was divided in two (Eastern and Western Germany), it made people to worship the pope, it is a nation and so on... But I'm not sure yet, I'm researching, if I discover more things, I tell you.
