  Switzerland has much more of a sense of unity than the US, which is perpetually at war with itself. It's also surprisingly egalitarian, or at least against conspicuous inequality; you can accumulate a fortune in a Swiss bank, but you can't build a mansion that annoys your neighbors.

        The original vision for the US had relatively powerful small states and a relatively less powerful federal government. There are a lot of reasons to think this is still a pretty good idea.
