Could separate countries exist in a post-Earth colonial space world?

Can you have separate countries in a post-Earth world where humans are colonizing space? I am not talking about physical territory per se, but rather the different identities between separate states. From what I've read or seen on TV, the general consensus seems to be a global world government where two superpowers have melted together and smaller countries are subsumed into them (think Firefly's Chinese Western). I want to know if countries can maintain their separate status when people start to leave Earth or if that undertaking is too big for a nation.
