I agree that the current political systems are not suitable. My concern is that people have no leverage in a world with AGI. Cities themselves make no sense in a world where people have no need to work. Why live in a small space in a cramped City when you can live anywhere you want?

Smaller countries might actually help. Giving hope that if any one goes rogue everyone else can quickly squash it. On the flip side, a very large rogue country can quickly overpower smaller ones. Wars are where rights are lost and this time they may never come back.

Even with AGI dense infrastructure is just more efficient than spread out infrastructure. Cities with experience automation on a scale and speed far faster and greater than rural areas.

True. But would most people consider living in a nice suburban home or a tiny box apartment. With infinite labour does it even matter if it's a little less efficient.
