Isnโt the issue of not allowing anyone connected to the dictator to run things is that you basically have absolutely nobody local who knows how to run things?
Shoe horning the way your country works into theirs could cause quite a few problems.

Correct. I attempt to resolve that issue by allowing local politicians to build skills at lower levels of government. It may not be sufficient, but I anticipate that will be obvious after opening one or two higher levels of government.
