I took the size factor into account with the UK and South Africa, both with populations in the tens of millions and distinct provincial identities within their borders. I could be wrong but I don't think that the other huge countries have dramatic differences at provincial levels but I could be wrong. If I were researching the topic I would start with Brazil, Nigeria, Indonesia, Russia, China and India off the top of my head. That would determine if the most populous countries feel compelled to offer different laws in different geographical locations. Some probably do based on ethnic and religious populations, but that will not apply in the US. I'd also take a look at Canada and Mexico as North American comparators with federal systems. As for accommodating our diversity, my earlier contention was that the rapid homogenization of American life is making that moot. It's not a trend likely to reverse much. Fortunately I am no longer in grad school where that notion might have stuck me with a 20-page paper to write.
