Not a place on my vacation list (or business trip).
I haven't done or read a study on the subject, but I think many countries go through a violent phase, including a revolution, as they evolve into a nation state. I wonder at what point the people begin to consider murders/assassinations as a cause of instability and call for an implementation of fair judicial system.
