What I see is catabolic governments that explicitly don't represent their people, instead rob them and exploit them, and are on a perverted financial decline as a whole.
I see governments that claim to be anabolic, with a record of being disproportionally anabolic, but are now in a plateau, the past growth created many weak links as a result, and produced many injuries that halt the past growth. A continuous plateau is destined to decline unless the weak links are addressed, injuries fixed and a more responsible balance achieved, which would allow for a healthier growth.
And I see places where people seem to feel represented by their government, feeling that their representative are being transparent and genuinely care for the well being of the population which in part returns the affection, and the environment which is part and parcel of that harmony.
