MysticWicks endorsement: "I've always, always regarded the Discordians as being people who chose to be Discordians because they can't be arsed to actually do any work to develop a relationship with a specific deity, they were too wishy-washy to choose just one path, and they just want to be a mishmash of everything and not have to work at learning about rituals or traditions or any such thing as that."

It is, but Eritrea has been described, not entirely unfairly, as the "North Korea" of the Horn of Africa.  It would definitely hurt them, but it would hurt lots of others as well, and Eritrea has a drive for autarky that other nations simply don't possess.  In a relative sense, they'd weather a major disruption better than most other states in the area...at least until the Ethiopian troops came marching in.  But then again, the last time that happened, it was the Ethiopians who went home with their tails between their legs, so I wouldn't blame Eritrea's leadership for feeling cocky.
