Genius strategy. Just rename your country and change its constitution etc, your new country will have committed zero atrocities! Never mind that you’ll continue to profit from the predecessor country’s imperialism.

The same way every formerly imperialist country benefits from imperialist legacy. Global economic inequality is neither a coincidence nor the result of some natural order. It’s of little benefit if I do a detailed write up on this topic since there’s tons of those coming up in a search engine.
