Government is Irrational.
RE: Government is Irrational.
@ Koolay

I recommend you move to Somalia, Democratic Republic of the Congo or Sudan, where these don't have any real, effective government. See how you would like living there. But as advice, what you will find there is the following:

Social problems:
Mounting demographic pressures.
Massive displacement of refugees, creating severe humanitarian emergencies.
Widespread vengeance-seeking group grievance.
Chronic and sustained human flight.

Economic problems:
Uneven economic development along group lines.
Severe economic decline.

Political problems
Criminalization and/or delegitimization of the state.
Deterioration of public services.
Suspension or arbitrary application of law; widespread human rights abuses.
Security apparatus operating as a "state within a state".
Rise of factionalized elites.
Intervention of external political agents.
