In nations with no or little history of federalism then an electoral college would make almost no sense, but in the U.S. with our ConFenderal system it makes sense. I could see it used in China if they ever shifted to a U.S. style system where the rural inland parts were somewhat over-represented in an E.C. to protect their voices from drowned out by the coastal cities and Beijing, like how states such as Wyoming are over represented with the bare minimum at the expense of California. I could also see it working in less centralized countries like Switzerland.
