The reference to Detroit was straightforward. A new 'Kurdistan', established within the federalist system of the country of Iraq.

which is just a nod to the reality of how many guns kurds are hodling. it's also a potential source of major gridlock and political stalemate. if they had something holding them together...it could be a source of compromise. but as things are, i would think that such a structure will produce self-interested vetoes, and stalemate and confrontation. remember how long it took to get the cabinet in place? remember how long it's taken to get anything done?
