Libya is actually much more stable than you think.
You know what makes it unstable? Gaddafi!
He had set up Revolutionary Committees (REVCOMs) which are like administrative ministries or departments with another name. They run everything like any bureaucracy. The only thing that upsets them is when the Great Leader comes in and tells the electricity committee: Ya know, 220V is a lot of volts, can we just do like, 199-1/2?
Imagine how that ruins your day.....
