The US is all on the same land mass (mostly). They all speak the same language. They've all lived there pretty much the same amount of time.

I'm glad to see a European that the idea of local government isn't completely lost upon. Its also strange to see such a pro-centralization crowd on HN given that the causation relationship between diversity/decentralization and robustness of a complex network is well documented.
