I might have a practical answer to the OP's question.
From the intro:
This reminds me of when Meriwether Lewis proposed (demanded) to the Tetons (I think) that they make peace so that they may prosper from the order and goods of the United States, an astute young brave replied, "if we make peace, how will we find our leaders?"
From this I infer that a small nation that sets out to impose it's idea of order on the world will be demolished by the inertia of a more powerful one. So how to start a platonic regime on any scale smaller than the largest available? If it postpones the pursuit of world order with strength it will not have adequate leaders. If it does not wait, success will be the rare feat... I dare say luck.
Maybe I could have put it better, but hopefully my point is clear enough.
From the intro:
We want a world in which order is kept and the youth are bred to lead. We want a world we can be proud of.
