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.

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.

I fail to see the flaw sorry. While they might be Christian Romans they are still Romans and everything Paul wrote has to be filtered through that context.
