The Last Emperor

When the Ming Dynasty was falling, the last defenders of the Ming were literally at the gates of the Great Wall of China, and invited in the Manchus to put down the unrest in China. This they did. The Ming who ruined Chin awere recruited by the foreign Manchus to run China. so these very Ming officials took leading roles in the Ching Dynasty, under Manchu hegemony.

The lawyers, cops, judges, merchants politicians etc before the nazi's in Germany, were by and large the same ones during and after the nazis. Same with the Soviet Union today, and it will be if and when some foreign power intervenes in USA to restore order.

Since all power in USA is concentrated in Washington DC, the USA will be easy to conquer. Switzerland was decentralized, so hitler could not take over that German speakng country. Hitler could take over all the others, since he needed to merely take the capital, and all the rest of the country fell in place.

A decentralized nation is safe.

A centralized nation is asking for several hundred years of native faces stealing for foreigners, and keeping a cut of the action. Domestically the people will resist by nonperforming.

Radiating out from the last Emperor was a network of people who benefitted from his person being the organizing principle, and the farther away form the center, the less it took to corrupt people, so the system was effective nationwide.

The difference between render unto Caesar and render unto God is rendering unto God is optional Failing to render unto Caesar can and will bring punishment up to including forfeiting your life. Religious participation is optional. State participation is not.
