Anyone who looks towards government or politicians for ethical or moral guidance and how to be good is doomed to fail.
I cannot think of a single country that is not evil. Some are just more evil than others but few operate on truly genuine principles. For example, are countries that maintain neutrality good? Are passivist countries that don't resist occupation or evil good? I don't think evil is equal, but nationalism and religion have led humans to do some pretty crazy things and power, in general, is just awful.
