MODERATORS
A government/country is an "it", an abstract entity; it is not a living human being, and cannot "care" about anything.
People working in that government care may or may not care about you, enough to change the behaviour of that government in a way that benefits you. But odds are that they don't.
And, just in case that the government in question is the one I pay taxes to (Brazil): the people in said government care about you as much as they care about a milking cow in a battery farm.
