Investigations into the relationships responsible for the success and failure of nations. This investigation was prompted after reading numerous references on the subject and perceiving that *Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty* by Acemoglu and Robinson seem to make a great deal of sense.

Why Nations Fail

Gene Bellinger

During the Biden administration (2021–2024), the U.S. immigration system was under a lot of pressure. There was a record-high asylum backlog, not enough detention space, and policy changes that made more people eligible to apply, all while the system struggled to keep up. This model reflects those challenges. It shows how more and more asylum seekers were entering an already overwhelmed system, while slow processing times and uneven funding made it hard to move cases forward. As a result, detention numbers kept rising, but deportations stayed relatively low. Instead of resolving cases efficiently, the system settled into a kind of uneasy balance, leaving many people stuck in limbo, neither fully processed nor removed.

Just need to add sensitivity testing and storytelling, as well as make simulation displays for each thing we want to show

Also, everything in the agent folder cannot be displayed as its own primitive, so you can't see their individual outputs. We need to make agent states that simply have the [primitive title] as their code.
