There can arise only conflict from drawing lines in the sand about where you can go because only then can a man step across the line, just take, for example, the palestinian conflict, this has continued because of land wars, seriously it's just other land. The only reason that countries exist is because it is best for the people in power, in the beginning if you didnt like the ruler then you made your own country and became the ruler, becoming powerful. When this is played out on a global scale and there is no more room to inhabit we see the sort of senseless amoral violence and corruption that is rife in modern societies.
Oligarchy by demography or corporate profit center is still oligarchy.
But of course you are right in that it is all about power and little thiefdoms.
