In the 21st century when big states split into smaller, loosely affiliated states, the resulting chaos is called "Balkanization." It went bad in the Balkans, it went bad in the Middle East when regimes began cycling through despots and paramilitary militias faster than Spinal Tap goes through drummers, and it'd go far far worse in the USA where there are more guns than in either of those places and dumber motherfuckers to use them without thinking things through.
