Time needed: 60 years but can be done sooner

Ingredients: 

A mis-interpreted dream, preferably involving religious utopia

People from all parts of the continent loosely united by religion

A few feudal lords (add according to taste)

1 Dozen hard liner Generals

Continuously fed hatred of 1 neighbour (if needed, also of a jewish state)

An excuse of a constitution that can be amended as desired

3-4 Minority communities (religious preferred, but sectarian will work just as well)

1/2 pound of corruption

400 Grams of unemployment

4 medium sized sensationlists

Preparation: Take people, and soak them well in the mis-interpreted dream. Add a little hatred of neighbour but only a little, remaining portions will be used later in the recipe.

On the Grill: 

1. Take the people prepared above, and press them a little by making rulers out of a few feudal lords.

2. Add some hatred of the neighbouring country, then shake well.

3. Let it be for 5 years.

4. Take a couple of generals and give them extra freedom.

5. By this time you will start seeing a martial law.

6. Add some more feudal lords (should come with a new rhetoric).

7. Sprinkle the half-baked constitution.

8. Press people a bit more for a few years but don’t break them, yet.

9. Turn the people around, and let generals take the charge again.

10. Alternate between generals and feudal lords every few years.

11. Give constant stir to people by pounding upon religious minorities.

12. Broil in hatred for a few more years till they become red.

13. Garnish with finely chopped corruption, unemployment and puree of sensationalism.

14. Serve to Uncle Sam on a platter.
