This is more accurate interpretation of that verse:

The real meaning of that verse is to not escalate petty squabbles. When a troll insults you, you can just move on. Or someone gets huffy you can be gracious. It’s not referring to larger injury or problems than that in this verse.
Restitution for injury or wrongdoing against you is another big part of the law and God’s ideal conduct.
That’s quite a reach.
I can only vouch for what I believe, I won’t argue against other hypothetical (or biblically ignorant) Christians. I don’t personally know any that are happy about it and most are armed.
Acts 17:26 “and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation”
Deuteronomy 32:8 “When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court [spiritual beings entrusted with watching over a people group].”
