Meat.

India and Pakistan meet all of those criteria. And they did it by protest rather than armed insurrection, thus proving that protest does in fact work well enough to create two countries at the same time. Cape Verde meets the same criteria, though they used arms to acheive the ends they wanted.

Not really. And I would hardly call the deaths of 500,000 through violence, rioting and infighting 'protest.'

Doesn't pass the sniff test. Just another change of ownership.
