Hurray for Small Countries

As Dr. Hoppe points out, they cause less damage and are less deleterious to liberty. Who worries about bombs or terrorists from Singapore? Lew, you are correct that the “too small to succeed” argument is bunk. The CIA Worldbook lists 240 officially recognized countries. At 5.3 Million, Scotland would join the list as #118, two spots above the median in the good company of Finland, Denmark, Panama, Uruguay, New Zealand, Croatia, Costa Rica and Lithuania. Oh yeah, remember how the Baltic states were (rightly) encouraged to break away from the Soviet Union, with Lithuania fielding an Olympic basketball team replete with Grateful Dead t-shirts? My lookout for similar government approval regarding the dissolution of our trans-Atlantic sock puppet finds no such cheer-leading.
