18. Yes, it's really impossible.
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 08:33 PM by Spider Jerusalem
Because you have to have representational government, at some level. Unless you want something like pre-unification (Garibaldi/Bismarck era, this is) Italy and Germany, if not something much worse; the idea of decentralising, and fragmenting a nation into a thousand, or ten thousand, small local enclaves, each of which has an increased reason for animosity towards its neighbours because of perceived political difference, is NOT a good idea.
