If your country has 5M, it means your largest city is fairly small, or cannot compare with the cities that have 10M inhabitants alone. Scale creates totally different problems, I'd thought that people on HN understood that kind of things.

The "US is too big" argument gets used for everything the US struggles with, even with things that are easily subdivided. It's a lazy argument.
