Robert A. Heinlein had a kinda negative view of government towards the end of his life which is reflected quite well in his last five books which collectively form the World as Myth aspect of his writing. In
Friday, he wrote that while governments existed, corporations were running the world. The US no longer existed and had turned into a bunch of smaller nations. He didn't specifically state it, but he suggested that the Balkanization of the larger nations had occurred because of corporations fighting amongst themselves. Smaller nations posed no threat to the corporations.
Corporate infighting was manifested via wars which to almost everyone's knowledge was between nations, but the corporate officials knew otherwise.
