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.

You're focused on political interest groups. If you are trying to solve a problem, say, how maintain reliable electricity in storms, will you get the best answer by having a centralized authority working on it or a variety of entities? The latter, for sure, as long as there enough qualified people to go around, which there may be in the UK, aren't in Croatia, and definitely are in the US. If fifty different entities are working on a problem, at least one of them will come up with a better answer than your centralized entity. And you may get four or five equally good approaches some of which might fit better in certain situations rather than one size fits all. "One size fits all" makes me itch.
