The Balkans

The most wretched hive of scum and villany (other than YouTube comments). A place where everyone hates each other. A place where every country dreams of having another country's land. A place where a country can have 3 major ethnicities and not be destroyed by a civil war. A place where Muslims and Orthodox Christians fight all day. A place where every one thinks he's better than anyone else. A place where you want to stay away from.

balkanize

To split something (usually a state) apart, on a usually ethnic basis. This verb first appeared in the 1990's during the War in Bosnia, led by Croats, Serbs and Bosnians, which caused the demise of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). It is nowadays again popular with Kosovar Albanians trying to rip off a part of Serbia -Kosovo (15% of Serbian territory, imagine the US without Texas)- for themselves.

It seems highly unlikely to balkanize the USA.
