We did not find comprehensive outsourcing for those public goods, for which we presupposed that international outsourcing is implausible. It is however noteworthy that one general impression also holds for these public goods. Whenever possible, VSC «tailor» the public goods provided to the size of the country. There are fewer members of parlia- ment or fewer ministers on average in VSC than in larger countries. The only exception to that result is the number of federal levels, which seems to be quite similar to larger 
countries.123
