As it says in the title: what would a surviving, modern day Gran Colombia look like? Would it be richer and more prosperous, would it still have governance and institutional problems like the successor states have (courruption, instability, coups, etc)?
Basically I'm interested in people's thoughts on this turning point in history and how things might have played out if had GC survived. Most nation states obtain benefits from scale so it would be interesting to see if the survival of the larger state would have produced advantages that could maybe even make GC a legitimate First World state, instead of a clutch of smaller middle-income states.
