The same feature can be centrifugal or centripetal depending on context. Many languages can divide a state (centrifugal) — or a shared second language can unite it (centripetal). Judge each force by whether it pulls the state together or apart.
A national football team, a common language, and fair investment in every region are centripetal — they build unity. Deep ethnic conflict, huge gaps between rich and poor regions, and a weak sense of nationhood are centrifugal — and can push a state toward becoming a failed state.
Centrifugal forces (ethnic conflict, uneven development, weak identity) pull a state apart and can create failed states. Centripetal forces (shared language, symbols, fair infrastructure) hold it together. Governments build centripetal forces to stay unified.
