The US. Doesn't even have to be any of our wars. Just make something up.

As an American, it would be interesting to see a game from another country's perspective where we're the unambiguous bad guys.

It'll never happen.

The US wakes up one morning and decides everything just has to go.

You play as Greenland.

Norway.

They've got nice scenery, you might as well set your game somewhere with nice scenery

China probably wont happen because no one wants to make the CCP mad and possibly have their games banned.

I've been wanting the US to be enemies in gaming for years. Anything that'll rile up the right.

Imagine playing as a black panther and all the crybaby reactions 😂

Got to be Greenland. I know from the Mighty Ducks than Iceland is green and Greenland is icy. They've been deceiving us for years now...

Can't have a game with the US as the antagonist. Wouldn't sell. Maybe a terrorist group in the US? Not the US government though. Maybe you can get an indie game in that fashion, but no publisher will make a AAA game

All the Antarctica Research Stations will band together to form a new Nation that will conquer the world. They will ride Polar Bears to War.

Going with any particular one country as the representation of "bad guys" is racism. Both bad and good guys exist in every country on the planet.
