United Nations & Mini-Nation Building

Kosovo's United Nation's assisted declaration of independence from Serbia breaks new ground for the premier nation building body on the planet. It's now entered a mini-nation phase. Serbia is about the size of South Carolina. Kosovo would be about the size of 2 large counties in South Carolina. This proves that all bureaucracies engage in mission creep to keep relevant and indespensible no matter the grief and the costs.

What's next? How about the U.N. entering the mini-micro phase? For instance, how about large ethnic districts in metropolitan areas like Chinatowns across America forming federations of extra-governmental bodies that overide national governments with U.N. charters? Hey the ACLU would back them up.
