i seriously doubt that,
it might be bigger than anywhere else but a majority?
also please note that many pirates that are captured are released into singapore, meaning many of the problems could be made by the same relatively small group.

Somalia's main industries are livestock, money transfer companies, and telecommunications. It's not a prosperous country by any measure but their economy is stronger than many other neighboring African countries and that's with a civil war going on for the last 20 years. It's actually a pretty interesting country.

You mean the states that have more people on them?

Sure, that's much better than the electoral college.

Actually, what's up with the belief that states and not people are the ones going to vote? That sounds like a terrible side effect of the electoral college. Your vote should count, not the state in which you are standing. The electoral college is non-sense in that if you live in a small state your vote has more weight than if you lived in a large state...

hard to imagine the country could stay together if you could just build up your popularity in one geographical location. Maybe that wouldn't be such a bad thing, this country is too big anyways. Chicago, LA, New York all could be their own countries.

Yeah that whole centralization deal is probably not optimal, unless you want to act in block to enter a war. But the NATO has shown that it is possible without being only a single country.
