> * All in they are 26 million. The US is 310 million.
How would that matter? Divide and conquer is a trusty algorithm.
That should be an advantage for the US. You already have the states, which would be a matching subdivision. On top of that, the federal government could be compared (badly) to the EU.
the 26 million of the nordic countries matches Texas quite perfectly. North Carolina is comparable to Sweden in population.
> * The US is geographically HUGE with millions of square miles. Nordic countries less so.
Wut? Northern Sweden, Norway and Finland are very sparsly populated. We still need good infrastructure to handle transportation of electricity, timber and steel/ore, all generated in the north but consumed in the south, some 1200 km apart.
> * Scandinavian populations are less diverse than the US.
In what way? Sure we don't have many Mexican immigrants, and we didn't trade with slaves. But is that really the most important measurement of diversity? We sure do have political diversity.
> * The US is a superpower and must support a large military.

Must? Says who?
