#1 The country will have to collapse before it can reform. Even that is is an optimistic long shot.

The country has no good institutions or traditions to fall back on. They are just a dysfunctional bunch of tribes fueled by radical Islamic passions, with a topping of nukes of unknown quality and security, propped up by money and other aid from the US, Saudi, china. The sooner they fall apart the better the world will be.

We need to stop funding losers.

#4 Generally yes. Smaller countries have more chance that the geographic area of the demos overlap well, thus building trust and making it easier to start a reciprocal culture.

Multi-Demos countries tend to try and use the state to "redistribute" from the other demos'.

#5 That makes sense but I could see how a balance of states might keep a really insane group from going off the rails.
