    I really doubt that it will still be a single, unified country by 2030. It will probably split into at least half a dozen of states once the central government collapses.

      That’s the best case scenario in my opinion. What’s concerning is that the states appear to be fairly split internally, and once federal government collapses things could get violent fast.

      I find that doubtful. The US has gone through much worse just in the 20th century without a split. The one time when it came truly close to disintegrating was just 85 years from its founding and when regional identities were much stronger than they are now.
