I agree, smaller is better.<p>Just like big corporations, I am totally convinced that if countries get too big, there is an increasing risk for corruption and evilness.<p>Just look at Russia, China and the US. Today, Putin is president (<i>cough</i> dictator <i>cough</i>) and he is kinda scary since he is so unpredictable. What if he gets cancer and wants to be remembered as someone who gave Russia more power and start WW3? I will be as scared for Trump if he gains power in the US.<p>China feels kind of stable, but none of these mega nations feels safe for us living in a smaller country. When so few people gains so much power, corruption is inevitable due to our nature.
