The United States of America: This is easily one of the weirdest fake countries in the world. It calls itself United, but functions on being in constant disagreement about everything other than mass murdering anyone who looks at it funny, and then it still disagrees sometimes on how much mass murder it should do, when it should do it, and whether congressional approval is necessary. Everything cultural in it belongs to someone else and its early form creators were so bad at understanding the world they called the region's indigenous people Indians. It's hard to describe how thoroughly fake this fake country is. 10/10 for Fakeness, 10/10 for Brutality. Verdict: Dismantle and start over; it was never their land to take.

Britain: Some kind of island or something I think. It's hard to tell because Britain spent more time mass murdering other peoples than it ever spent developing a meaningful culture of its own. Still has royals with power in 2026. Likes to voice nature documentaries for some reason, in spite of having a legacy of destroying the legacy of naturally existing peoples. Might just be a NATO outpost in disguise by this point. 7/10 for Fakeness, 12/10 for Brutality. Verdict: In dire need of a post-colonial, post-imperial power structure and culture.

Israel: A base of operations for colonial expansion in the region. Pretends to be Jewish for some reason, but has almost nothing to do with Judaism in practice. Bastard adult child of the legacy of 1 and 2, trying to live up to their reputation for mass murder, displacement, and colonization. The modern embodiment of colonialism as a tool of "nothing is real unless it's used to justify genocide." Hollowed out and weaponized to the nth degree. 12/10 for Fakeness. 8/10 for Brutality (more televised but still can't match the sheer mass murder of the other two). Verdict: Doesn't belong there and never did. Consumed by death cult behavior. No reason for it to exist as a state entity; has no concept of power as anything but a tool for exploiting and murdering.
What are your top fake countries? Let me know in the comments below. And be sure to smash that like button, destroy the bell, and seize the means of the subscribe button.
You're not wrong in the most literal sense. I'm being a bit tongue in cheek with the tone of the post (is why I put it under shitposting). But the spirit of it, I'm partly serious, in that I use examples of countries that don't have much of a culture / whose culture is mostly doing violence to others; countries that also tend to be telling the rest of the world what "civil" and "savage" are, which "regimes" are valid and which aren't, which borders are valid and which aren't, as if it's their right to define that for the rest of the world.
So the ones I named are countries that both don't respect the idea of sovereignty in the first place and don't have much going for them beyond behaving in that way. Plenty of countries do at least have some kind of cultural history and formed out of that history; in many cases, though the boundaries are a bit arbitrary, the history of the land and the ancestry going back generations is far from being arbitrary (like with indigenous peoples). It is the "fakest" countries that tend to treat these boundaries in the most nihilistic manner for the purposes of expansion, domination, and exploitation. Very different from the arbitrariness you (probably?) mean, that we are one world and the lines drawn can at times be kind of shallow next to the importance of that.
