>I'd vote for Belgium.

I always laugh when people suggest these meek tiny European states should be in charge of running the world and how much more civilized they are. The reality is that these countries aren't meek by choice and we already know from history what a country like Belgium would do if given a tiny sliver of power.

I would focus on the word tiny in your statement. America has to solve problems at scale. California has 3 million more people than Canada.

America is a federation of 50 states. The EU is trying to become a federation of the European states.
