Turkey is its own empire that has done the same thing, mind; they sparked conflict between the tribes in Arabia to ensure none would escape their grasp back during the Ottoman era. They're a strong economy and a strong military and are only one of the other imperialist forces in this world. Nevermind that Turkey is what made this categorization; in the 80s they made speaking Kurdish or having a Kurdish name illegal, and these days they still arrest many, many pro-Kurdish rights activists.
