A G-E neutral character is not generally ambivilent to the G-E alignment of his neighbors, or just as happy to have an evil king as a good one. Such a character is (by my reading of the SRD alignments) in favor broadly of other people being either good or at least not evil. He simply does not rise to the level of good himself because he is not willing to make sacrifices for others. A neutral person who sees a wounded man by the side of the road may not go to help him if it would represent a sacrifice (or time, of obligation to continue to help, of danger that it could be an ambush, etc) but is not just as pleased to see another passerby kick the wounded man and laugh as to see one stop to help. The idea that Good is something the world needs, and Evil is something it needs less of is not an exclusively Good viewpoint. Neutrals and even some Evils will agree, while either not making the effort themselves, or living as parasites on the Good done.This is one of the reasons, IMHO, that GvE is a bad supernatural alignment but a useful personal one.</blockquote>
