Sure, if you have a world that is half the size of Earth in one unified government, it is the same as if Earth had one unified government. Otherwise, this sort of division doesn't really apply... If Earth had 2 different nation states, each encompassing half of the world, it would not be _as bad_ as one single nation-state, but it would still be terrible. Divide it by 2 several more times, and it works out better. 200+ nations is much better than 6 (unified continents)... See Aiken's post below. No need to repeat what he said already.
