Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | + Model | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | A 28-member General Council (half elected by parish, half by national list) elects the head of government; the co-princes sanction laws with countersignature. | Grand Council of 50 chiefs chosen by clan mothers; questions pass between groups of nations, each seeking unanimity, with the Onondaga Firekeepers confirming or resolving disagreement. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | A four-member Constitutional Tribunal appointed by the co-princes and the General Council; ordinary courts. | The Confederacy describes the Grand Council as resolving disputes among the nations and planning for the welfare of all the people. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Health, education and infrastructure funded by indirect, corporate and personal taxes; parishes run local services. | Unknown | |
| How is AI used? | No specific role for AI. | No documented AI role. | |
| What are the main risks? | Clash between the episcopal co-prince and legislation such as abortion; exclusion of non-citizens; dependence on France, Spain and the EU. | Operates alongside US and Canadian governments, which limits its practical jurisdiction; its rule of unanimity within and between blocs requires broad agreement.CLM-0117CLM-0118 |
