Well, that's easy then. Carve them up into smaller blocks which are culturally homogenous. Then democracy will work. Especially when some UN soldiers and local police, funded by unfettered oil exports, provide security.

With heaps of oil flowing, funding government will be easy. No palaces would be needed. Negligible military expenditure.

It's all so simple.
