Formaldehyde
Both Fair And Balanced
It was just mentioned, perhaps facetiously, in a different thread that any civilized country shouldn't have more than 100M inhabitants.
In terms of being able to better respond to the needs of its constituents, I think there is a lot of merit to that premise when applied to the US. It would also allow various new countries to take completely different approaches on basic issues like the death penalty, abortion, personal freedom, liberty, spying on its citizens, recreational drugs, public healthcare, and just about any other issue which largely polarizes people these days.
It might even largely eliminate the military threat the last superpower is constantly causing to international peace and harmony, since the size of the respective militaries would be much more limted due to lack of resources. They would also likely require widescale cooperation with other countries to be effective, instead of merely providing the facade of international cooperation to engage in imperialism.
It might even create enough impetus for an American Union to form, which would greatly benefit not-as-developed countries as it has in Europe. It would also help to ensure that all members had basic human rights, and that there would likely be no more military coups or death squads.
Thoughts?
