The costs are simply to high for a regime that already needs over 90% of its people to work as a farmer simply to feed its population.

Next to that: education, media and a more or less controllable voting system are a few out of many keywords you need.

As you can see I did not explain it in full as I recon you are smart enough to get the bigger picture. (No offense, but I can't understand you even asked. Is it really IA I'm talking to?)>>

Lol, ofc it's me! Never mind the alcohol, I'm still functioning like a genius .

So you mentioned economics, education, and media. Now to be honest I'm not sure about economics, but I can't say education and media is really in the favor of democracy right now.
