When it comes to internal conflicts, its worth comparing the total land mass of the USA to the total land mass of the whole of Europe!
USA= 9,857,306 km square
Europe= 10,180,000 km square.
It always amazes me that all the different States in the USA manage to tolerate each other, with no conflict or warfare!
Each State in the USA can be equal to, or larger than, a single Country in Europe!
The single State of California is longer, 770 miles, than the total length of Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales), 600 miles!
The USA is HUGE, with just one single government!....
