Well, sort of. What I think is that it has a considerable amount of cultural heritage from the Terran Confederation by way of the Rule of Man and the Sylean Federation.

The conceit that the HIW espouses is that Hiroshi established the Rule of Man to preserve the ideals of the Terran Confederation because the TC leaders had shown they couldn't do it. The format he chose (autocracy) was forced on him by the nature of interstellar governance.
