a) You obviously haven't read enough history, or you would know this is not a new idea.
b) So if peaceful societies do self-destruct, do warlike societies not self-destruct? Or only the ones that don't lose?

Add some authentic texture from those 60+ countries, and you'd have a bestseller for sure.
