We can encourage better governance by pushing power down to many little states--competition can result in better governments, too.

Obviously we can talk about the next level of multipolar traps in international relations, but those aren't as large as the internal ones.

You get the fundamental problem right (problem of cooperation, aka generalized prisoner's dilemma), but that's not a solution.

A patchwork of states is not a market. The market depends on the state to enforce laws. No state, no market.

I can agree re market of govts, but at least with options and competition the overall trend should be toward better governments

The form of competition between states is war. And we had a world like that before. Big states emerged.
