CaptainBeirutIII: And all would be wrong.
A continent, a country, can not be evil. People can.
Just like your family can not be defined by some racist uncle or twatish aunt, neither can your whole household on a Christmas Night, based on that odd sod. Can it?
No, It's true that nations are soulless entities with no inherent sense of good or evil.
That's why they have to be controlled by governments.
Governments are certainly capable of good or evil.
And the entire nation will, to a large degree, reap the consequences of the government's actions.
