"Semi-autonomous regions" might be a polite way of
saying "countries", anyway. The regions would still
struggle to control that strong centrally controlled
army, wouldn't they? So I bet that this would reduce
tensions some, but maybe not solve all the problems.
(By the way, exactly who would be paying for that
army?)
Ask yourself that question again in about three weeks.

So you're hinting that the semi-autonomous regions of
a recently invaded country could get the invading power
to give them military aid if they promised to stop
fighting each other? Nonsense! Why the invading power
would have to be run by a total idiot!

Actually all I was hinting was that whenever
troops get sent to "keep the peace" in some
region of the world, 99% of the time the troops
and the money come from the good ol' USA . . .
