Yes. Why not? Countries are made up, and people are real.

I’m not surprised you have this opinion, though! Humans are animals, and most of them have no capacity for moral deliberation. They build things like airplanes, but don’t know why. They enjoy art, but don’t know how. They feel, but can’t begin to analyze (let alone understand) their own dumb emotions.

Most humans are a cosmic joke (or maybe a horror) meant to keep the rest of us humble. And you’re a prime example of that.
