Pope Leo XIV called for artificial intelligence to be more strictly regulated, warning that it can help spread misinformation and normalize war. He also issued an unprecedented apology for the church's role in slavery.
Since the Catholic church now owns more land than anybody else on Earth (170 million acres), perhaps the Pope can grace us all by paying property taxes from this point onward? The church’s unimaginable wealth should be able to cover it… everybody else manages it somehow.
And the farthest west you go, the more the federal government owns lands. In some states like Nevada, the state only owns a small portion of their state land.
This caused a lot of problems when the state courts tried to protect Native American lands being leveled by the Trump admin because of his bullshit wall but the federal government just outright ignored them.
Russia being a dictatorship implies they have total unquestionable control of all of Russian territory, which would put them at the top of the list by a lot.

I’d also guess that the Russian and Canadian governments are up there.
