So, It has been on my mind for many years about various things should be smaller. Cities, Nations, Churches all should be smaller. The idea that where one can live in a multimillion person city would seem to be impossible just a few centuries ago. I know in some nations, like India, it is almost impossible to live in a small town. But in particular, small towns might make a come back in the following years. Where high population centers are going to be less and less attractive, there are particular reasons why, but one of the reasons might just be that there is too many people that hold to various viewpoints and lifestyles. If one is in a small town of less than 10K, then people can get to know each other and not go through life not having to know that many people. I know one person can't know all 10K people in a small town. The issues of a small town is smaller and more community focused because there is less power and money that can get corrupted. Not saying there isn't corruption in small towns, but if a small town is really doing so well in terms of corruptions and crime, then people can just leave for the next town over.
In terms of nations, there is about 200 nations in the world. This is way too small in my opinion, because there is over 7 billion people and only 200 nations that is supposed to be able to accommodate the needs of 7 billion, I don't think any system can handle a large amount of people. So as of right now, the average size of each country base off of 7 billion and only 200 nations that would only be 35 million people per nation. 35 million people per nation isn't too bad, but we need break up all the larger nations that are more than 100 million. Which means there is about 14 to 15 nations that are in need of broken up into smaller countries. USA in particular, one can just split up all 50 states and call it a day, but having to break up, that simply might not be that necessary. So, North and South Dakota can just be the "Dakotas" Idaho and Montana can join each other. So if I had all the power to split up the USA into different places here is what I would do: (I'm thinking in terms of sub cultures when I'm splitting up the states). North Eastern States: 1. Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire 2. Massachusetts 3. Rhode Island and Connecticut 4. North West New York 5. South East New York 6. East Pennsylvania 7. Central Pennsylvania 8. West Pennsylvania 9. New Jersey 10. Maryland and Delaware Southern States: 11. East Virginia 12. Central Virginia 13. West Virginia 14. North Carolina 15. South Carolina 16. North Georgia 17. Atlanta 18. East Georgia 19. East Florida 20. West Florida 21. Alabama and Mississippi 22. Kentucky and Tennessee 23. Arkansas and Louisiana Midwest States: 24. Chicago 25. Rest of Illinois 26. Eastern Wisconsin 27. Western Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa 28. Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska 29. North and South Dakota South West States: 30. Oklahoma and North West Texas 31. Dallas Texas Area 32. Houston Texas Area 33. Southern Texas 34. Western Texas 35. Middle Texas 36. Arizona 37. New Mexico North West States: 38. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming 39. Colorado 40. Utah 41. Nevada 42. Las Vegas West coast States: 43. West Washington 44. East Washington 45. West Oregon 46. East Oregon 47. North West California 48. North East California 49. San Francisco 50. East of San Francisco 51. Los Angeles area 52. San Diego area 53. Alaska 54. Hawaii Then in terms of Churches, at max one should go to a church that is 500 or less. Because there would be a much smaller of a community of believers that can actually know each other, hence the rise of small groups, in particular, United States and United Kingdom Christian churches. Many churches back in the 1950s had started to do small groups as a way for members to be in deeper community than just going to church. So in a way a lot of big churches had smaller mini churches that come together on a weekly, every other week or bi-monthly basis, depending on the church and group. The only major difference is that there isn't typically preaching. Even 500 might be too big, it would be good to go to a church that is up to 200 so that one can legitimately know most of the names of their church and ideally be there for more than 10 years of one's life. I know that isn't possible because job moves and what not, but that is my "ideal" and I don't even match it 100%. When one is looking to move into a new area, at the top of the list should be a solid Biblical church that one can go to, if there isn't then one should either join other Biblically solid Christians to start a church in that area or don't move there. These are just my thoughts about who things should be done and what we should strive for in society. Of course I could just sail off into AnCapistand with a bunch of other AnCaps and ditch the city and country life altogether... Ha, that means I would have an obligation to start the "First Reformed Baptist Church of AnCapistand" LOL. Then 2nd Reformed Baptist Church of AnCapistand would start 2.5 seconds after I start it because it isn't to the other person's liking of how I'm doing church, aka wrong color of carpet.
