Onto the super-states thing, I feel as if disastrous conflict tends to make nations more unious. After-all it was WW2 and the end of it that brought about the EU.

Not quite. It is shared-ideal factionalism that unites peoples and nations into even somewhat cohesive entities. The problem I have with much of these conglomerate superstates is that it is nigh impossible to conjure up an ideology or factional identity that would bind these peoples and nations together.
