Social Entropy
In this reality, you can't sustain anything indefinitely. This is particularly true for social and political institutions and systems. No nation or society can last forever because of the natural entropy in the human condition. As time progresses, corruptions and degradations and flaws will inject themselves into any established social and political system or institution and by definition many systems have inherent flaws from conception.
Reality is concrete and has rules and laws that govern it. When a system or program or institution is designed and put in place, the one that accounts for the most aspects of the laws of nature and human nature are often the most successful. Because of social entropy, even the most successful and best designed system will degrade and begin to fail.
Humanity's natural moral and ethical and intellectual imperfections and shortcomings feed and occasionally exacerbate and expedite the decay of the societies and nations humanity constitutes. You can delay the finality of social entropy by "patching" the corrupted and degraded parts of the social systems, whether through new laws, new leadership, new forms of government, or new technology in a slighty similar way to how you would patch a corrupted or imperfect program on a computer.
This only delays social entropy, and every society will come to a point where the status quo social and political institutions will no longer be sustainable and will suffer collapse or reformation. Social entropy, much like physical entropy, is an inescapable consequence of the mortality of the physical and its constant decay.
