In smaller government there is one and only one person you come to. If this person does not accept your bribe (or "lobbying") then you have to play by the rules.

In larger government there are a lot of competing bodies with vague job descriptions. You can honey them all with varying results. You can oil "layers of security" as well so those rarely help.

Don't confuse big/small government with big/small country. Surely there are banana republics, but I can't imagine you can buy out government of Iceland that easily.
