Swap,
Good delineation of the ever decreasing circles of concern that radiate out from the SELF.
But here's a question: Do you think that if individuals focused to closely on how best to serve their families and their local communities [read: tribalism/regionalism] that national markets/national legal structures suffer?
This played out in the Caucasus, in Lebanon [after 1975], definitely in Africa, and in some parts of Burma/Myanmar.

Yourself = Important (canīt chance who you are)
Your Family = Important (they got you back no matter what)
Your City = Somewhat important (but you could always move)
Your Country = Less important (most of the time run by idiots)
Which one do you think has most chance of survival when man evolves and demands more freedom? And which ones keeps you trap and exploits you? You could make the choice today (do not have to wait 200 years to be free), but I bet they will do anything in their power to keep you, and use you for their own gains... thats why they will be extinct in 2200...
