I dont think many countries would sit on the "Good" part of the Alignment :|

I would put Australia as Neutral, even though we do a lot of Good and follow the law, we do enough bad/rule breaking to keep us going any higher.

[Thorn777]

America: evil

[DaVinci]

America: evil

Seriously now, a moderator should move this thread ... something new like "Curiosities".
The average level of the "Academy" sinks too much these days.

[Ketnix]

America: evil

Did not see this coming.

[Condottiere 40K]

I thought it was explained that outside of some dedicated stereotypes, you can't delineate countries on the alignment chart, and even the more advanced character creation it isn't clear cut.

[Mr. Scott]

In all reality, all nations fall under the neutral category, give or take 10%.

[Adar]

In all reality, all nations fall under the neutral category, give or take 10%.

To be honest, that has always been how my chaotic evil characters have been rationalizing their behavior...

[Armenum]

This is truly foreign policy for dummies

[LSJ]

That alignment system doesn't work with RPG characters, much less countries.

[Their Law]

I forsee this thread ending well.

Israel: Lawful dick
America: Chaotic Good
Sweden: Neutral good

[Admiral Piett]

Israel: Lawful dick
America: Chaotic Good
Sweden: Neutral good
Switzerland: Neutral
Iran: Neutral Evil
N. Korea: Chaotic Evil
S. Korea: Lawful good

I agree with this.

[Prosaic Visitant]

Israel: Lawful dick
America: Chaotic Good
Sweden: Neutral good
Switzerland: Neutral
Iran: Neutral Evil
N. Korea: Chaotic Evil
S. Korea: Lawful good
China: Lawful evil

I approve of this analysis.

Anyone who classes the USA as 'evil' probably needs to spend some time in North Korea as they clearly have no perspective on 'evil'.

have you seen a video couple of guys made while they were visiting North Korea?
Some thing that awesome can't be evil!
they even gave them new suits for free!

[florin87]

let's see

- toppling democratic governments and imposing highly oppressive but "friendly" dictatorial regimes - check
- impoverishing an nation via a decades long embargo and then in invading them under the guise of freeing them from poverty - check
- special torture prisons for foreigners and SUSPECTED "terrorists", - check
- moving people across borders just that you can torture them, - check
- ing up a country's economy, and millions of lives with it, just so a CEO can buy a new yacht, - check
- wantonly massacring civilians during wartime - check
- invading on your citizens' private lives without their consent, - check
- destroying other country's natural environment for profit, - check
- death penalty, - check
- highest number of inmates (as percentage of the entire population), - check
- oppressive penal system that allows no rehabilitation, highest number of police abuses, - check
- detaining your own citizens indefinitely without trial based on a suspicion or rumor, - check
- imprisoning citizens of other countries for actions that were not committed on US soil and were not illegal in said countries, - check
- destroying other people's cultures in order to breed obedient consumers, - check
- justin bieber, twilight, lady gaga, etc - check.
etc

oh yeah america is the very definition of good.


just so you know evil takes many guises. there is no single definition of it. as for your recommendation, while i'm not north korean, i lived through the next best thing - communist romania at its worse.

come now, bieber is canadian

[Admiral Piett]

let's see

- toppling democratic governments and imposing highly oppressive but "friendly" dictatorial regimes - check

Actually that's slight different. We befriend dictatorial regimes for geopolitical interest. We stopped creating them when the Cold Ward ended.

- special torture prisons for foreigners and SUSPECTED "terrorists", - check

Fixed. We don't imprison and torture foreigners. But, doesn't make us good though.

- moving people across borders just that you can torture them, - check

Wtf?

- ing up a country's economy, and millions of lives with it, just so a CEO can buy a new yacht, - check

George Soros?

- wantonly massacring civilians during wartime - check

Israel?

- destroying other country's natural environment for profit, - check

Lol, corporations aren't the government.

- death penalty, - check

Lawful trait actually. Not good, neutral, or bad.

- highest number of inmates (as percentage of the entire population), - check

Due to factors not present in other countries. Let's be fair here.

- oppressive penal system that allows no rehabilitation, highest number of police abuses, - check

Hungary?

- detaining your own citizens indefinitely without trial based on a suspicion or rumor, - check

Who?

- imprisoning citizens of other countries for actions that were not committed on US soil and were not illegal in said countries, - check

Wait, isn't this connected with three other things you listed? Repititous statements.

- destroying other people's cultures in order to breed obedient consumers, - check

What's the commie talk?

- justin bieber, twilight, lady gaga, etc - check.
etc

And they're all richer than you.

just so you know evil takes many guises. there is no single definition of it. as for your recommendation, while i'm not north korean, i lived through the next best thing - communist romania at its worse.

Hahaha! This is where everything you've just said becomes unravelled. How can you possibly rate the US as evil if you survived the communist regime of Romania? Nothing we do compares.

I didn't claim it was good. Just that the definition of evil should be reserved for states that deserve it. Which, for all the wrong the US has perpetuated it is not

It's telling that you immediately jumped on me assuming i was going to portray the USA as some sort of paragon.

Not to belittle Communist Romania's excesses but on a hypothetical scale of evil Communist Romania was NOWHERE near North Korea, in terms of the long term damage and social degradation that the regime has imposed. What North Korea has done to it's populace is beyond anything that has happened in Europe in recent years bar such atrocities as the Bosnian Genocide.
