There are a couple of governance systems in the world. Parliamentary democracy, direct democracy, anarcho syndicalism, etc.

With its decentralized nature, mostly free movement between communities and instances, which governance system would be closest?

    Well, federations are a broad political system ranging from say, Switzerland (or even Germany) to much larger collections like the USA, the Federation of Russia, or the EU itself (which Germany is also part of). It can also be considered in variety of forms, say the UK is not officially a federation (not that I’m aware of at least) but it’s also a collection of various and at time very diverging populations and countries/states/regions, not all of them subject of to the exact same exact laws.

      Sorry for being that kind of nerd but I have to somehow, the UK is a unitary state, pretty much the opposite of a federation. Meaning regional powers are granted by the central government not inherited from its component parts.

        Don’t apologize for correcting my mistakes. I was not sure about that, and was indeed wrong. Thx for pointing it out :)
