If the region is at 0 independence, it won't do much. But in a less stable region, it can easily push it over the edge.
We wouldn't want people to be so destructive with money alone, but tipping the balance is just the right thing. :-)
That said though Tom, it's rare enough that I can count on one digit how many times I've seen the link to do it! I would've liked at least enough to take it from 0 to protests against the government that people would have to deal with in a day or two. But, eh, since its so rare I doubt anyone would want it prioritized over any other things like I don't know M&F =)
