All a country needs to really do is just hold the nation together and the best way is to accept their culture must translate into the government system or else they will destroy it from within since it's not something they really care for if it isn't theirs. You don't need to copy how other teams are set up, you set up your own team with the sole intention of having them cooperate and NOT fight each other. Once they are set up to cooperate, they won't fight the govt, they wont start civil wars, they won't do stupid things that we see today like corruption, they will be like 'hey' I know this system, this is mine and it's what I believe in deep down, they will piss off and start progressing and defend the state internally and externally without any help from u.
The western system is intended to keep u dependent cuz they know you will never get along using another man's system, it's like we took somali cultural system into europe and said 'haye' good luck. The western world is spreading it's idealogy for one reason it know it will end in chaos or at the very least dependency and they own ur ass then as u will need to take their orders. Besides the west, when was the last time u saw a major project happen over there, it doesn't it's just the constant raise taxes lower taxes and maintain the existing system, nothing new is added anymore there. It's politics is stale now and is maintainance mode basically, do u want to spend 10 years just arguing about how we should build a road and get nothing done. f*ck democracy, it's the shittest system in the world, wallahi I would go Caliphate any day before that democracy.
I do believe in secularism but not democracy, I believe in a locally inspired secularism and unfortunately when u say your secular they all translate that too your democratic, no there is different forms of secularism, even the caliphate was secular with a caliph and his cabinet and imams in the mosque
