A lot of people probably don’t begin to comprehend the previA country was as a private house, but a house of houses/properties. It's affairs governed in house via laws. It's "government". You could actually own your property and run the affairs within the boundaries of your house and hold standards there and so to with the country. Your house was your sovereign keep and the country the same. Why do you think they had boarders? Would you have people in your own house conspiring to rob and kill you? Would you allow shadowy international figures with no known or fixed loyalties to pass freely through your house doing as they saw fit when they saw it fit to do so serving only their interests? Well so too with the larger country or house of houses. There would be no gain of function reasearch, no Blackrock, no international crime centres with tentacles in your house or the bigger house, no globalism and sea law empire, no world reserve currency, no fiat money that would last, no international piracy organization(corporations) pillaging your country for their profits, from your house or the larger house. No Turdope kissing Klaus's offshore butt. He would be hung for treason well before he even manifested. There would be no monarchy stealing your land and resources from a distance. It would take a while to flesh it out but it's a different existence. The US also wouldn't be in every other countries affairs causing wars all over the place. People were born into a corrupted world and so have no idea what a less corrupted would be like. The long and slow corruption happened over many lifetimes so the individual is disadvantaged to the corrupted collective. Can't go on too long here.
