Why Do Some Countries Have Stronger Governments Than Others?

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks. If the blocks are strong and stuck together well, your tower will be tall and steady, like a strong government in a country. But if the blocks are weak or not properly attached, the tower might fall over easily, like a weaker government in another country. Some countries have leaders who work well with each other, while others don’t, that’s what makes governments strong or weak.
