  • I don’t think there is enough evidence to suggest that it is the size alone that contributes to them being fucked up. Most sizable countries today didn’t start out as democracies, so they never had the chance to not be fucked up. (And I would argue US for instance never really was a modern democracy to begin with)

    There are a lot of small countries just as fucked up or even more so. I think it has much more to do with what values and ideologies countries were formed with that impact how fucked up they are.

    A European Republic would only ever be borne out of democratic processes and not by force. I do believe a European Republic could be the first (truly) democratic super power.
