greybeard":osr6lmwh said:Of course you can, and a very loose union of republics at that, with very little central government pressure.
Look at the EU. Even the old Soviet Union allowed a great deal of autonomy within it's union of different nation states, as have several mideast nation state unions more recently and currently..
Look at Great Britain. Made up of globally scattered Commonwealths, as well as independent nations of England, Scotland, Ireland, and even Wales.
These are hardly good examples and the Republic of Ireland is certainly not part of the British Commonwealth. The USSR was a group of conquered "former" countries living as one country and one government. The EU is in shambles and on the verge of collapse and who knows about the arabs. Today they are your alli, tomorrow they are allies with the highest bidder.
