I think you're on the money. Humanity would be best suited with global governance to ensure everyone gets treated with a moderate to high level of human dignity and protection. We're already near a return to city-states anyway. Governance is best done at that level, and most cities occupy 1 county, and 1 county is also the appropriate size for rural area engagement. So this global<->county arrangement makes a lot of sense. My country (USA) stands in the way of this because it's currently the top dog, but it's mostly just because of existing wealthy folks on top who have the current arrangement in their best interests. It's possible to spread the idea, have enough people demand this, and get global-county governance in place. It's very clear in the US today, that there's 2-4 nations existing within the US. We had a civil war between 2 nations already. Instead of churning matters and moving to 2-4 nations, just cut to the chase and go to global-county. Local involvement improves everyone's life, and that's the best way to do it, ensure democracy is healthy in every county. It's when people disengage when things get ugly, despair, no control over their own situation and lives. Unfortunately, global demand for this idea will probably require a major war or nuclear catastrophe. I don't see people doing it otherwise when things are working out even a little bit.
