North Korea hasn't done anything terrible. If you disagree, you just need to spend some time in a re-education camp.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Thats fair lol
Thanks you, comrade.
Glory to Arstotzka!
Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
Maybe the Principality of Sealand.
In the grand scheme of things its not that bad but technically Sealand started out as a pirate radio station
So they started as heroes and they're still cool.
You're equating pirate radio with "terrible things"?
It depends on what kind of music I suppose. Like if it was polka they're cool. But if it was orchestral....

Pretty sweet answer
Uncontacted tribes probably haven't done much.
How do we know? We haven't contacted them.
They likely have warred with other tribes.
Maybe, maybe not. Would have to contact to find out 😉
What happens in the tribe stays in the tribe
Estonia is pretty decent. They've been on the receiving end of terrible shit and haven't been keen on repeating that in the other direction.
Antarctica
Too cold to do anything wrong.
I'm convinced some weird science experiments are going on up there.
Tiny island nations that were largely the victim of colonization by others. Trinidad and Tobago. Samoa.
Ask a Tongan why their grandparents don't like Samoans.
OP said 1800-present. If you're talking about the 1899 split, then that's the colonial powers. What am I missing?

Luxembourg seems to have relatively clean hands historically I think. They were occupied by Germany though in WWII
Idk, they do shady banking shit for tax dodging billionaires and corpos

Yeah seems pretty clean, nice answer!
No…
Obviously they have all done something that someone think is terrible. Since evil is within people, not within borders.
Ireland is pretty chill for the most part. Definitely not perfect though.
Yeah, definitely not perfect and have some pretty rough recent historical stuff regarding women. Not that bad though!
Yeah, the catholic church shares blame for that but the state was absolutely complicit

Heck, I think there aren't many people who meet that criteria. You'd need some sort of vegan, who doesn't use any tech made possible with child miners who obviously doesn't wear sweatshop clothes and probably doesn't live on stolen land etc...
