I will cede the "2) economic prosperity/cooperation." being paramount as it has been my observation that if housing and food basic criteria are met, violent overthrow of governments is not a high priority. As a high mucky muck of Mexico once explained to me "If the Indian has food for his children even a little he is somewhat content, if he is watching his children starve bloody revolution will start" In mexico everyone is entitled to frijoles and tortillas if not much else from the government.(1985 anyway) A man mut have self respect, a little work, a little food and a beer on special occations will suffice as long as there is a hope for future opportunity no matter how faint. Take away any hope of a future and you have a disgruntled slave culture that could turn on the authorities if the authorities dont create ample opportunity for the downtrodden to turn on each other instead.
thanx,
