> spaniards have separatists spanish politicians and spanish media regularly confront and boycott regions they happen to own, creating division and conflicts out of thin air.  other countries dream about being richer, more powerful, more influential, more advanced. the spanish government dreams instead about having a very powerful capital, the rest of spain being at awe and the regions they dont like being owned. as retarded as it sounds. they dont care about the country being overall poorer and more divided, or about wasting money in unnecessary infrastructures that impoverish them, as long as they accomplish this dumb goal. if your country doesnt behave seriously, if youre so petty and self-destructive, youre going to find some resistance. but alliances can still work as long as theres no centralism or irrational decisions.
