I take asia and Africa. No reason to be greedy, and there is still Oceania for someone who is ballsy enough to rule Australia.
@Redking about letting children choose their meals: No, sorry. The peoples I know are able to make informed decision and are not stupid. I know the "I'm in the ten top per cent" myths is a popular one, but A) 9 time oult of ten it's not true B) the most intelligent peoples are rarely the better functioning ones. With that in mind, the last point, and most important, is : how educated is your target population.
2 risk : 1) absolute moron population. That happen : bad (or no) educational system, anti intellectualism, murder of the middle class... can lead to a country where, on average, people are under educated idiots. Democracy will fail and there will be no easy way out of the crisis, you'll have to educate the masses. One of the most important question right now is : has US sunk to this?
2) Well functioning country. Rich country, great education, peoples read a lot and see themselves as intellectuals... and for a reason (possibly because god hates us) the first thing they'll think is that they are superior to the rest of the world. I saw that in Flanders, in Sweden, Germany, Netherlands ... Well, no they are not. Good choices have been made, they get the benefits of a well functioning bureaucracy and of an educated population, but make a few mistakes (like for instance, turning xenophobic, slash your social spending, or raise the price of education) and you'll be back to square one. But nooooo, they lower their guard, blame immigration for any problem that may arise and slumber in a comfy haze. They'll wake up soon enough to the sound of their world shattering.
