I'd go so far as to say the universal truth of that statement is questionable. What do your sisters want?
That should dictate your future. What are the principles that mean the most to you? If independence is #1, national is not the way to go.
I really don't want to belabor the point. The person I am now fiercely rejects standardization in lots of things, and in standardizing to the lowest common denominator. However, I gave an oath, and the fact my sisters know I will live up to that oath now - 40 years post pledging - and in the future is important to me. The person I am now would have chosen a local for the independence, but would have had to give up a lot.
