    A highly militaristic society that isn’t all that strong compared to other militaries, that treats it’s people and outsiders poorly, and has glaringly obvious issues with its governance, all with an air of superiority and an emphasis on never appearing weak?

    …Was Sparta just North Korea?

        The fact that folks vote you down without engaging speaks volumes. The npc angry meme comes to mind.

        From an outside perspective the US definitely ticks those boxes. Maybe someone can explain what doesnt.

          Nobody wants to feed the troll, simple. But eh.

          • Highly militaristic Check
          • Isn’t that strong Eh, just beating every other contestant with either tech, experience or both.
          • Treats it’s people and outsider poorly MMMMM, okay, for EU standards yeah, but for global ones? They’re mid.
          • Obvious problems with governance . . . nnnnnyeaah…
          • Air of superiority Yeah. Except not really. Ya all are dropping it more and more as time goes.
          • Never appearing weak It’s justified tho.

          So overall, yeah, 3,5/6. 0,5 for treating people part. Defo not sparta…i mean, if they vote Trump and I’ll have to update this but eh.
