Christian to Christian: Does God assess sin on cities and nations as well?

Throughout the OT, we are shown the anger of God toward the non-submissive humans, but we've also seen cities and even nations toppled over. Obviously "sin" is assessed to the individual (and on the subsequent generations),but is there a possibility God also assesses sin and punishment to cities/nations or is this the result of the aggregate sin of the individuals in those cities/nations?

    Since cities and nations cannot sin it is obvious that it is the sin of those people living in the city and nation that has angered God.

    all sins were taken away at the cross, God gift to anyone is life, why do we need life because we are all born into this world dead in our sins (romans 5:12) when anyone come to God through faith in Jesus we are made alive together with Christ alive spiritualy, if weefuse we just remain dead in our sins forever.
