I was thinking the same thing about ancient nation states. Then there was the unification of Germany and the unification of Italy in the 1800s, too.
Mad Max is about right, or The Walking Dead. The population of the world would have to be cut drastically to go back to nation states, IMO.
Now, maybe moving to a small country in today's world would achieve the desired effect?
