Yes it does become difficult to "manage" once groups become larger. However, our tribalism is threatening to destroy civilization with nuclear weapons. I see one humanity and all nations threatening eachother with obliteration are committing crimes against the collective humanity. We're here only a short time and people are fucking ruining the planet for their own selfish bullshit. We've kinda fucked ourselves into a corner and time is running out to turn the corner. I'm typically an optimist, but on these topics I'm quite cynical and jaded. Anyway I thought you'd comment about Tolkien.
