Humans are primates, too – so do they fit into the pattern established for monkeys and apes? This is the key question which Robin Dunbar sought to answer by using the same equations to predict human social group and clique size from neocortex volume. The results were… ~150 for social group size, and ~12 for the more intimate clique size. He subsequently discovered that modern humans operate on a hierarchy of group sizes. "Interestingly", he says, "the literature suggests that 150 is roughly to the number of people you could ask for a favour and expect to have it granted. Functionally, that’s quite similar to apes’ core social groups."
In other words, smaller communities are destined by nature to work better and maintain a higher social cohesion. After the failure of our super empires, we need to return to a local model again, rebuilding social trust among citizens and uphold common cultural standards for future generations to come. The supermarket culture combined with widespread individualism brought us personal space, but also let crime and corruption reach record high levels, while forcing the youth into decadent lifestyles and commercializing our cultural traditionas.
Corrupt works to let the globalist power fall and replace it with independent regions where people are held together by shared ethnicity, culture, language and values. We represent the future.

The Ethnopolis idea above might well fit in as stable foundational parts (on a higher level of organization above individual and family) of an Ethnostate (http://thephora.net/forum/showthread.php?t=42969).
Sample organization
Earth / Mankind
Ethnostates
Townships / Ethnopoli
Households / Families
Individuals
