The King of Lesotho is insane and rules poorly. Things have gotten so bad that the citizens of Lesotho are begging South Africa to invade. If you're asking a foriegn country to invade your own, you know things are screwed up

Yet another product of artificial colonial boarders, the devestating civil war has created extreme disorder. Neither Hafez al-Assad, the Free Syrian Army or ISIS is likely to survive. So a power vacuum is likely and who knows what will fill it up

The fall of Muammar Gaddafi has left another artificial state drawn by colonialists fragmented. With the inhabitants of Tripolitania, Fezzan and Cyrenaica loyal to tribal roots instead of Libya, the second civil war may be the final nail in the cofin for Libya.

One word sums up China's problems: environment. Half of China's waters are polluted beyond safe human consumption, and whatever drinkable water is left will be gone by 2030. Things are likely to get so bad that despite the regime's harsh crackdown, social unrest may ensue

Two halfs of Belgium are nothing alike. Flanders speaks Flemish while Wallonia speaks French. A split is very likely with an independent Flanders and a Wallonia that either gains independence or unites with France
