> In fact, this is mostly what the House of Representatives and the Senate are, or was before 1920. An interesting observation: the population of the USA since its founding until today has increased approximately by a factor of Dunbar's Number. In theory, this would call for the introduction of another layer of national bureacracy (say, a Regional level above the individual States). Yet our political structure has not meaningfully changed, at least de jure (de facto I believe it has changed substantially with the rise of capitalism in the early 20th century).
