How each model solves the same problems
Instead of “democracy versus anarchism”, compare the concrete ways collective problems get solved.
| Question | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How are decisions made? | One Noun, one vote on on-chain proposals (Governor Bravo fork with dynamic quorum and objection period); delegation allowed; a founders' veto as a safeguard.Exit rights | Unknown | 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. | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Votes and objection periods; ultimately exit through the fork mechanism, which gives forking holders a pro-rata share of the treasury. | Unknown | A four-member Constitutional Tribunal appointed by the co-princes and the General Council; ordinary courts. | |
| How are public goods funded? | Funds art, open-source tools, events and charity through proposals, small grants and Prop House rounds. | Unknown | Health, education and infrastructure funded by indirect, corporate and personal taxes; parishes run local services. | |
| How is AI used? | None in governance. | Unknown | No specific role for AI. | |
| What are the main risks? | Treasury arbitrage when treasury value per Noun exceeds its price, concentration of Nouns, falling auction demand and founder veto. | Unknown | Clash between the episcopal co-prince and legislation such as abortion; exclusion of non-citizens; dependence on France, Spain and the EU. |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
