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? | Delegated UNI-weighted voting through forum comment, temperature check and on-chain vote with a timelock; initial quorum of 40 million UNI. | 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. | Unknown | |
| How are conflicts resolved? | Forum debate and competing proposals; no appeal beyond token votes; legal disputes handled through the DUNA wrapper. | A four-member Constitutional Tribunal appointed by the co-princes and the General Council; ordinary courts. | Unknown | |
| How are public goods funded? | Grants by the Uniswap Foundation funded from the treasury; protocol fees now used to burn UNI rather than fund public goods. | Health, education and infrastructure funded by indirect, corporate and personal taxes; parishes run local services. | Unknown | |
| How is AI used? | None in governance. | No specific role for AI. | Unknown | |
| What are the main risks? | Concentration of voting power in venture investors and large delegates, agenda control by Uniswap Labs, low turnout and regulatory exposure. | Clash between the episcopal co-prince and legislation such as abortion; exclusion of non-citizens; dependence on France, Spain and the EU. | Unknown |
This illustrates differences in design; it is not a universal claim about outcomes. Each cell links to mechanisms and the claims behind them.
