"BEEP!"
Actually we might be in a worse condition, germanys populace in tbe 20s was younger relatively speaking, meaning when the wellfare system collapsed more people could survive for themselves. Whereas we now have to deal with a massive wave of retirements, which we can't afford.
So who do you think will carve out which parts of land when the system collapses? The US is half a mega continent in size with each individual state being the size of an entire country.
