Maybe you shouldn't be the "United" states of America :P
Sure, we've had entire Civil Wars over regional differences, lol. Given the U.S. is a very large country, there are very divergent interests in different states / regions. Even some states themselves have very different parts like California, etc. It's far easier to govern a smaller country because you don't have nearly as many differences (geographical and otherwise) that have to be considered.
