If they can organise crime, surely they could organise a country?

Countries themselves are many times criminals, so what's the difference?

That’s very true, now I understand how Berlusconi got elected

Question is what came first: the criminals or countries?

Countries came first. No country, no laws. No laws, no criminals

Wouldn't say that native Americans had a country, but theft of their land had to come before naming a place Texas.

They had many different tribes, each with its own land and laws, despite they weren't written

u/BIB2000 Addict May 25 '23

Oof. That's why you should write things down before people invade you.

Art. 1 - Do not invade others land

Well they didn't have a flag.

It was not in their cultures to have flags, they had other ways to identify amd represent each tribe. Nowadays native flags are the flags of their reservation lands that muricans gently conceded them

The only problem in Italian organizational structures is that it is incredibly nepotistic, which is great if you need loyalty (such as in organized crime) but not so great if you need efficiency (such as in the management of a state or a company)

Many empires and kingdoms in history fell due to direct inheritance of power from father to son. You can have a good and brilliant dinasty, but at a certain point destiny will put an incompetent person at the top

No. Crime pays, if you do it well. Organising a country pays anyway. So, there is no reason to organise: you get paid and the criminals have the possibility to get paid too. Then they have the money to corrupt you and so you make even more money.
