Saudi Arabia is an evil country. They fund terrorists, their country is awful, and the royal family take all the country's money And then they act like they are trying to "stop" terrorism when they are the biggest funders of it.

So much generalizing! How can a country be evil?

The term that some US-president coined for that was rogue state, so Saudia Arabia is a rogue state.

Ah, but you're only a rogue if you don't follow international norms. Rogue states means just that, the pariahs like Qaddafi's Libya, or North Korea presently. Even the "rogue" status of Iran and Cuba is questionable, since they play ball with a lot of countries (just not the US).

Rogue States in the US diplomatic lexicon just seems to be "countries we don't like, post Cold War", because our enemies abroad cannot be put into a neat little box anymore, so we include states like Iran or, up until a few days ago, Cuba, in these listings.
