The best part of that is that there will be small independent countries or other jurisdictions that will always have special status of one kind or another. Such conditions arise when the big players have to compromise. Hong Kong is a good example. Switzerland is another. Then there are all the small island nations who are at a liberty to form ties with whoever they want at any given time. Often the large players wouldn't even want to stomp on the little guys if they can be useful in some way despite them being a nuisance in other ways. The elites will always have their tax havens no matter what. :)
