Imagine that you own a business with a large market in Country X. There is an election in Country X and the new government decides to protect the local industry and it a) opts out of the Free Trade agreement his predecessors signed on the grounds that he won the election by promissing to getout and b) slaps you with a stiff tariff. Who can you appeal to?" - Adriana What's your point? That all countries should be under one government just so businessmen would have someone to appeal to. I could always try to get my country to go to war to protect my profits, which is what businessmen sometimes do, but it is obviously unjust. Sometimes you just have to take your losses.
