This is why I'm thinking modern weapons technology might have changed the 
playing field a bit. Nukes and biological warfare, enable a small player 
to scare a big player. You also have blackmail, but that would require 
constant and diligent work to keep the compromising information up to 
date, when new leaders ascend.

Liechtenstein, Monaco and Andorra all have managed to survive as small 
states longer than some modern countries have existed. They prove that it 
is not impossible for a small entity to survive.
