Not even close.
Okay. The Holy Empire was much more complex than is the USA, Switzerland is much more republican and democratic and New York
is not New Amsterdam any longer.
Our states are in no way similar to the various warring fiefdoms ruled over by heritary nobility.
The Holy Empire had hundreds of independent structures - not all of them had been "states". But the states of the Holy Empire had been much more independent than are the states of the USA. Every of this states was an own nation with an own passport and an own army. But they all had been united.
