This seems to exist in USA, Israel and Argentina. For whatever reason, these 3 countries work less like a country and more like a federation of individuals. But is not true anywhere else in the world.

Unlike homogeneous countries like Sweden which only had some five different indigenous languages and a messy smattering of different cultural and religious identities before immigration "began" in the '70s.

As an aside, why do western countries use ISIS instead of Daesh to refer to the eponymous group? It seems weird considering it's already a formal practice to refer to Burma as "formerly known as Myanmar" as to show the military coup's illegitimacy, why not do the same for ISIS/Daesh?

ISIS/ISIL and Da'esh have the exact same meaning. Bickering about dumb acronyms is completely a non-question in my opinion and I doubt ISIS cares either way.
