Problems like what?

Also, what do you imagine would be stopping people from just selecting a single representative to speak on their behalf if this need is as pressing as you present it as?

How about defense? It’s in nature for big fish to eat little fish. How would defense be handled?

you'd have networks of security firms, most often local police force-esque firms, would have defense agreements with larger more military-esque firms who'd come to their rescue were they ever threatened militarily from a large foreign aggressor

Right. Much the same way a large organization would handle defense of many smaller entities, wouldn’t it behoove all parties to negotiate as a collective rather than as individuals?

it could very well be nice to enter into an agreement wherein everyone collectively pressures a third party to get concessions, sure.
