Should Large Nations Split into Small Nations?

[PATRICK]

2. That says it better

than this typical debate piece that blithely mixes throwback tribalism, ethnic divisions as an ideal even though most the small nations except maybe Iceland still contain dissatisfied minorities. The US has no such easy sectoring based on tribalism except the diffuse bundle of native American tribes. A good thin in one case is a bad in another. The final argument in breaking up and down unfair and non-working states would be enlightened anarchy. The other end would be sensibly pooling for the largest cooperative collectives. This argument, presumably tailored for Scotland, falls into some historical morass in between.

Somehow the article seems a paean to the misery that is human governance, sort of off point or blinkered.
