Given what Owlbread has said in the past, he would say that, and would probably further say that the current "Russia" is just as harmful to actual Russians as it is to everybody else within it.

This. I fully believe that Russia should be an independent country and support those who work towards that goal. Hopefully I will see it within my lifetime.

Personally, I believe we should all return to city states!

Me, I'd go one farther and say everyone should have the inalienable right of secession. Why have "Free Venice" or the "Manhattan Commune" when you could have "The Republic of Jim's House" or "39 Pine Street Kingdom"?

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

World federation, founded on the principles of rule of law and subsidiarity.

Does anyone else want to suggest a model?

Except there was more conflict between competing city states, so, not neccesarily a good thing.

See, in the instance of the Republic of Dave's house, all that would happen is houses with the similar values would band together to protect shared interests, and establish a system of lawmaking, checks and balances and so on to enshrine rights and responsibility in those who lived in the houses. Then you might find whole streets subscribing to the values, until you have a town. Then several towns in a region. Then entire regions, either by conflict between values or the sharing of them. All of a sudden, you have successfully reinvented the nation state.

I think it will happen sooner than later. There are guys in Russia who want exactly that. And some of them are in Ukraine right now. Fighting Russians sent by Putin....

Putin started yet another war that has a Russians kill Russians part (both ethnic Russians of Ukraine and actual Russian citizens that arrived as volunteers) and millions love him for that :(

Think the point they're making is it's an independent country in a similar sense the USA or UK is. Not so much one as several shoved under one banner. Singular more in an administrative sense than cultural.
