So far as I’ve traveled. It seems easier for the population to be at least aware of what’s going on and engaged, particularly in the 10M and fewer population sizes. That engagement in turn seems to generally have good outcomes. Of course there are some outliers, but generally that seems to be around the limit where the population seems to maintain a strong awareness of the country in most places. Also yeah what you’re saying is definitely true as well.
Yeah in the scenario of smaller and larger nations but let’s say all nations had a population around 10M or fewer then the power differential would likely be far less and of course the military power differential would be far less. Also today I learned today Ireland has a population of 5.5M, kinda shockingly small. Makes sense now there’s far more Irish outside of Ireland. Could have sworn it was more than that.
Smaller countries don’t necessarily have better behaviour, its just their actions are less significant than major ones.

The entire island of Ireland would be outnumbered 3 to 1 by London, yet they sell almost all their aluminia to Russia currently.
A smaller economy can’t afford to take a stand as much as larger ones, whatever sentiment may say.
