Yeah it's a tough call how small a government can be bad be TOO small. My gut tells me that it is a heck of a lot smaller than we can imagine today. Stuff like homogenization of populations will happen easily. The real dangerous actors will get a Darwin award in a hurry. Stuff like that. I think that just a smidge outside of feudal warlord anarchy and into "loose local voluntary confederation" is ideal.
