That's why you break the country up. When you have smaller regions where people are more alike, you get more agreement on issues, and the minority that disagrees is smaller. Right now, with one big giant country, you have 49% that disagrees with the majority 51% on issue X. When you break it up, region A will be 80/20 in favor of issue X, while region B will be 70/30 against that issue. Region A can have a law in favor of it, region B can have a law against it, and both sides will be much happier than the current state where there's near-deadlock.
