I think we have known for millennia that the optimum polity size is that of a small city, but that the cost of financing war either offensive(france) or defensive (germany) or the suppression of local rents (all empires) or opportunism(athens,london,usa) provides malincentives.

@curtdoolittle Is there any distinction of optimal community sizes? I think often about the removal of any sense of community in white america and wondered if you had an opinion on this.
