IOTL, the general trend of European history was that countries became larger and larger, and larger kingdoms finally integrated into nation-states. Due to competition from the Nation-States, smaller dukedoms and city states were either annexed or forced to seek union with each other.
Can we reverse this trend? Can we make smaller communities more prosperous, so that the larger kingdoms like England and France split into smaller ones due to internal pressure because their subordinates see the benefits of small states?
POD no later than 1000AD.
