No, Nazis are everywhere. USA, Russia, Israel just have slightly bigger density of them. But car-sized insects are a completely different question. There is only one place where they should be. Australia.

Or - and hear me out: the ocean.

Now its everyone's problem, just like Nazis.

Giant prehistoric insects didn’t need high oxygen after all, study finds
