  2.  @princekyros  The geographies (especially climatic features) are not even remotely identical, nevertheless, the main difference is due to natural selection and the cultures adaptation to geography and the influences of neighboring cultures. And of course while those in Switzerland out-grew the insane behaviors (such as slowly roasting those of different religious opinions in Switzerland) that resulted from believing religious metaphors and iron age teaching stories to be actual facts, those in Afghanistan never established an enlightened culture, mostly due to the prevalence of stupidity.

  3.  @greywolf7422  Nice comment. I would say that the Constitutional Republic of the USA has buffered revolutionary roots, mostly because the framers of the constitiution were by and large pragmatic classicists and liberals in the real sense of the word.

  4. Russians are incapable of democratic rule, the state has breed a population of confused imbeciles and frightened anyone with two brain cells by oppression and violence, and those with any potential have fled. Russia is doomed by its own hand of state.
