  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

I just don't see the point of it.

Used to be the southern half of the Netherlands. Rebelled wanting to be a republic but had a monarchy forced on it after the Napoleonic wars when all the monarchs of Europe were terrified of republics. Half of it speaks French the other half Dutch. Should have been split between France and the Netherlands a long time ago, but the British kept it artificially alive by threatening to defend it, just so they could have an annoying buffer between France and Germany for the sake of "balance of power on the continent" (aka the British wanting to prevent any other country getting more powerful than them). Its king once owned the Congo as colonial property and committed horrible atrocities there, and they never really apologized or paid reparations. All in all, it's a pointless and artificially constructed state, just a consequence of 19th century European power games.
