  • In practice not much, but from a regionalist perspective it was actually pretty good. A heavily decentralized system that was basically stable enough to last hundreds of years, also it rarely was expansionist as an entity with it only really expanding when the crusaders got itchy or later on when it developed strong enough powers internally.

    Wasn’t saying it fixed anything just using it as a prime example of a heavily decentralized state that more or less operated for centuries.


  • A lot of the problems are because the US is a horrible mix of centralized and decentralized systems with no real way balance anymore. Reminder at the time of the USs creation the oldest Republic was fucking Venice meaning that they were treading waters not treaded since antiquity, so it has a lot of beta testing issues that have held on well into the full version. Upside is that if shit goes badly enough with the feds the states can theoretically correct for it like the Holy Roman Empire.
