Devolution of power for liberty, peace and prosperity around the world

Food for thought! A brief philosophical speculation.

What if all countries of the world were dissolved and only municipal (metro, city, village) "states" existed? Unfortunately, some countries would not go along with this devolution.

Yes, it would need a lot of cooperation and coordination for large projects affecting multiple mini states to be realized.

How fast would these states adopt free trade and free movement of people etc. etc.

Are the hurdles really so large or even insurmountable that these hurdles, among other considerations, justified national states? Perhaps that was true and applied in the past, but current technology makes the prospect of much more federalism more realistic and sustainable!
