Совсем недавно было одно мега-государство на всю планету. Архитектура, построенная по типовым проектам, транспорт, железные дороги, порты, мода, язык, единая финансовая система. Посмотрите на фотографии Сиднея в начале 20-го века и сравните с фотографиями в Калифорнии, Нью-Й орке, Париже, Берлине, Москве и Санкт-Петербурге. Вы не найдёте существенных различий.
