U S A!
The United States of America is disintegrating because its contemporary leaders and influencers (at least in the period of the 1980s onward) —are seriously impaired by their competence and dishonor. They have neglected the basic needs of America, abused, breached, displaced and undermined vital institutions and the practice of essential principles in law and ethics. They have willfully weakened and dangerously dividied the citizenry.
At least one candidate for the U.S. presidency (2024) has pointed to the USA’s dangerous, self-inflicted harm.

From the Summit of BRICS’s advancement
The 15th BRICS Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, “brought together leaders of more than 50 countries from around the world, and senior executives of regional organizations”“All of us here are proponents of a new multipolar world order with a genuine balance of interests; taking into consideration the sovereign interests of as many countries as possible— while enabling them to follow their own development models, and helping them preserve their diverse national cultures and traditions,” were words from the message of Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin.
“… The global majority that the countries attending the summit belong to has become increasingly tired of the (colonial-neocolonial-neocon) pressure and manipulation.” Nevertheless, this majority “is open to honest, equal and mutually respectful cooperation.
“This is the approach that the BRICS countries take to developing their multidimensional relations with the countries present at the summit and other interested states; as well as regional integration bodies including the CIS, the EAEU, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, ASEAN, the Caribbean Community, and the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf.”BRICS leaders made media statements August 24, 2023, at the 15th BRICS Summit held in Johannesburg, heads of state from this interstate association made statements for the media; BRICS countries adopted the Second Johannesburg Declaration following their summit.

From Ron DeSantis’ Presidential Campaign Announcement https://rondesantis.com/articles/top-article/Excerpted (minor edits)
“We must reestablish integrity in our institutions.”
“Reestablishing integrity to our institutions means we must reinvigorate our constitutional system by returning the institution of governance to its rightful owners—the people: ‘We the people.’”
Law and order ensuring safe communities must be maintained. “The public deserves safe communities.”
True constitutional governance, sound decision making regarding significant matters is not and cannot be determined by fashion or fad, whim or caprice.“Truth must be our foundation—Common sense no longer uncommon virtue.”
