I agree with TheObserver, but I'm not sure it can entirely work out. I think want would work best is lots of extended family units tied together as in an African village like fashion. This allows better environment for child rearing and caring for the elderly by enforcing a strong family structure.
There has to be an inter village government of some sort off the top of my head:
There would be a structure which would be like state/federal/internationall governments to facilitate communication and cooperation between successively larger groups of villages. Each level would be done in a democratic fashion. Thus the laws and infastructure of the governments are essentially treaties between villages designed to provide services (the extent depends on the government forms) Each village can choose which governments/illainces it want to be a part of. Each person chooses which village to be a part of. This dictactes citizenship. This allows like minded people to form villages and surround themselves with the laws/lifestyles of their choosing without imposing it on everyone else (i.g. Islamic law). I guess this is like saying each ethnic group gets it's own voice in government. Government has to be tied to specific locations. At the top level there must be a constitution with a set of righst everyone and every village gets and who's sole job it to enforce and perhaps these rule, most likely heavily judicial with a convention every year to make sure everything is going ok. Taxes are done through villege/alliance. It's hard to please everybody, but it's about as close as I can get it. Probably has a lot of beurocratic overhead, but there are probably ways to minimize it, (globalized tax forms, globalized monitary units etc) and we deal with it anyways already. In theory people can form their own right/left wing extreamist states, which is ok by me, as long as they arn't imposing it on people who don't want it and don't have all the damn wars. (is it that important that everyone believes in your damn religion?). On that note there wouldn't be any wars. :P.
This is just me manifesting my dream of being in my own commune so I don't have to see or deal with the crap of the outside world.
