This is going to be a philosophical, political and religious debate as all those areas could potentially benefit from the idea.
The idea is called federalism, you may have heard about it. In politics it is already implemented, although badly. Many democratic countries are also republics. The general structure is that local affairs should be handled local, state affairs are handled by the state and common affairs are handled by the country. A good setup in theory only handled badly in praxis, partly because there is discord about what are local, state and federal affairs.
But that is only one fault. The other is human laziness. People don't like to move so there are conflicts everywhere and no real diversity.
The same goes for religious/moral groups. Some have managed to stick their claims and hold on to them. But most are in the diaspora and cause dissonance.
And then there is the fear of losing power. The will to dominate is strong in some humans. They would never allow a group that was once under their thumb to have their own community.
Wouldn't it be a good idea, whenever there is a seemingly unsolvable conflict, to just draw a line in the sand and have one set of rules on this side and another on the other side?
