A Field in England
2013 · Film · 90 min
Directed by Ben Wheatley
During the Civil War in 17th-Century England, a small group of deserters flee from a raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured by an alchemist, who forces the group to aid him in his search to find a hidden treasure that he believes is buried in the field. Crossing a vast mushroom circle, which provides their first meal, the group quickly descend into a chaos of arguments, fighting and paranoia, and, as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they slowly become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.

Mozilla trusts eight "government" CA roots, associated with 5 countries in this list, China (Hong Kong), Spain, Taiwan, The Netherlands, and Turkey.
The Turkish CA is constrained by Mozilla (and so in Firefox, but may not be constrained in your downstream software that wasn't written by Mozilla and just uses their trust lists wholesale) to just Turkish official sites, government, education, that sort of thing. The others are not subject to any notable constraints for a global CA.
If you don't run Firefox or a Free Unix you probably trust a lot more government CAs. For example Microsoft's list includes 35 root CAs from Australia to Uruguay. It's hard to do a cursory up-to-the-minute examination of Apple's status because they provide a summary of information from the certificate itself which will often have been written by some nerd twenty years ago, leading to descriptions like "Government Root Certification Authority" and "CA Root" (those are both real examples from Apple's actual list) which don't tell a reader anything of value.
I don't regard it as useful morally to try to count a company owned by the government as "the government". Consider the film production company Film 4. This is wholly owned by Channel 4, which is in turn wholly owned by the British government. So we could say the British government made "Four weddings and a funeral". OK, delightful English romantic comedy, sure, maybe drives tourism. "Trainspotting". Maybe it's a warning about how dangerous heroin is? "A Field In England" - Um, now we're struggling, I guess it is set in Britain at least. But wait, "The Motorcycle Diaries" is about the early life of Che Guevara, and "12 Years a Slave" is about a guy who was enslaved, in America. No, Film 4 is just a Film Prodution company, it happens to be owned by the British government, but that's even less relevant than which billionaire owns your favourite hockey team.
