[ WP ] Every person in the world undergoes a `` goodness '' test . It 's designed to give a score from 1 to 200 , where 1 is pure evil , and 200 is an angel in human body . Then the world is divided into 200 zones , where people can live among their own kind .

It took me a long time but I finally realised the truth. And when I did I laughed long and hard, standing in my front yard as I watered my petunias. 
 
 `` You alright over there, Bill?'' shouted my neighbour John. He, too, was watering his petunias. 
 
 `` John,'' I said, `` do you ever wonder why life here in the 200th Zone is so damn wonderful?'' 
 
 `` Well now Bill,'' John replied, `` that is a real doozy of a question. I'd say it's because we were tested as being in the top 0.5 % nicest and most innately good people in the world.'' 
 
 I grinned and let my mask drop for just a moment. John did n't flinch. 
 
 `` Ha! I knew it!'' I exclaimed. `` You're just like me John. You faked it too. Tell me, when Mrs Finch disappeared last year, it was you was n't it?'' 
 
 `` Well now Bill,'' John said as he tilted his hat back, `` she sure was a talkative lady. Gave me lots of tips about gardening. You could say that my beautiful petunias are all thanks to her...... contributions.'' 
 
 `` I wonder how many of us are here'' I mused. 
 
 `` Well now Bill,'' said John. `` I reckon it's pretty much all of us. I mean, no one is really a good person. I'd say everyone who scores above a 180 is probably faking it.'' 
 
 I shook my head. Who would have guessed. The top 10 % of people, folks so nice they were seen as angels in human form were all high-functioning sociopaths.
