Romans 13 doesn't quantify good from bad, nor could it considering it is an epistle to Romans, who could not be considered "good" in any respect towards Christians.
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established".

Your argument here is flawed.The epistle to the Romans is addressed to "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:" (Ro. 1:7). So the letter was written to the Christians in Rome at that time, not to the Roman citizenry in general.
