It's had its rude bully moments but overall it tries to make everyone fun friends

We're in a rude bully moment right now, though. Literally Persia was nicer than we are now.

No. Spelling is shitty, and nonsensical.

Some small cosy developed liberal democracy relatively free from shenanigans. 25 years ago Taiwan, Denmark, New Zealand, Switzerland or Canada would be strong contenders.

Persia (at least under Cyrus) was actually pretty tolerant by most ancient/classical empire standards.

Just compare them to the Assyrians, who they (kinda) replaced (after the Medes, but that's beside the point).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moriori

As a small and precarious population, Moriori embraced a pacifist culture that rigidly avoided warfare, substituting it with dispute resolution in the form of ritual fighting and conciliation.[citation needed] The ban on warfare and cannibalism is attributed to their ancestor Nunuku-whenua.

...because men get angry and during such anger feel the will to strike, that so they may, but only with a rod the thickness of a thumb, and one stretch of the arms length, and thrash away, but that on an abrasion of the hide, or first sign of blood, all should consider honour satisfied.

Probably modern Anglo countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand

In the past it's plausible that India has the nicest empires under Jainist and Buddhist rule before the hindus became the largest religion.

Parliamentary democracy, the rule of law, habeas corpus can all be retracted to graeco-roman and early catholic tradition rather than just "English" you fucking moron

There was a huge proponent of neo-Persian empire.

That was the shah, right down to arranging for Persian empire style decorations, uniforms, foods, and other stuff like that at official functions.

The Romans weren't nice at all.

They literally had collective punishment on a NATIONAL level.
They used depopulation as the stick and roads as their carrot.
They enslaved entire towns, emptied cities, and burned countries.

Because you don't fucking fuck with the Romans.

I voice my vote for the Nri again.

I defy anyone to name a bad thing done by the Nri.
They didn't even fight back against the colonial powers, because that's not the Nri way.

He's not wrong. Australians are like Scottish people x10, they're super rude and belligerent.

New Zealanders are nice though.
