#2 I think Pakland is four or five or possibly six proto-states, teetering on the brink

The punjabis outnumber the others - sindis, baluchis, Pashtuns - by a huge number. The question is will the Punjabis retain the unity ant the will and the political dexterity to hold the country together. Will it split like the USSR or go on like dozens of third world countries. Remember theres a HUGE bias in the international system toward the unity of de jure states. Even Congo has stayed united on paper, not to mention Somalia.

#4 More like the "support Perv until something better comes along or the entire country collapses" camp.
