The country is really bifurcating. It's a very dangerous bifurcation, because it is not a regional difference; it is essentially an urban/rural difference. Most dangerously, there is the situation where the urban cohort represents power and money, while the rural cohort overwhelmingly supplies their sons and daughters to populate the armed services that protect the money.
As a thought experiment, I've thought what a modern-day civil war would look like. Assuming it wasn't crushed instantly by the military, I think it would look like the vast areas of fly-over-country besieging the urban areas, with huge chunks of the current command structure and rank and file joining the rebels.
