There is no getting around this. If a system of government cannot withstand foreign powers it is flat out a /bad system for a government/, no matter how well it works/could work at a smaller scale or different context. Corporations may work well economically but there is a reason that among all of the desperate reform attempts nobody decided to incorporate an entire nation and make it publicly traded.
