Because the people there are united on the most superficial level, which means not at all. The only things that can build a civilization are shared base values and ideology, the rest won't cut it. But a certain group of people seem to really like their ethnostates, maybe because they don't have the appropriate values and ideology to build something meaningful, prosocial and long-lasting?

Somehow you sound entirely right-wing and modestly left-wing at the same time. Not in a "let gay married couples buy guns to protect their trans-friendly pot farm" way, but more of a "abortion should be legal for child sex slaves" kind of way. I'm presuming this was not intentional.

"Civilization".may not be the word you're looking for. Every UN member is part of the same "civilization".in general usage, even the ones who really dislike each other. Maybe "nation"?
