ahh not local monop. Interesting question, I would think diversity of circumstance causes diminishing returns to scale for government?

similar to why GM can't be the only car company, economics of scale work in uniform markets, small and nimble helps in niches.

interesting part to consider is as culture becomes more uniform due to connectivity, does govt monopoly become more likely?
