Cultural relativism aside, I’m sure we can agree on “terrible” if we talk it out. I’m not asking for a “well X country is worse than Y country, so, Y country isn’t THAT bad”. I’d say for this discussion we can go as far back as 1800 for “past” as I’m currently convinced there isn’t a country with a perfect track record going back even that short a time.


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…
Orchestral would be cool too. But if it was Morgan Whalen and that dudebro pop country shit…
Pretty sweet answer
