In many ways yes. In fact Centrum realy reminds me of The Culture -- they differ in many many ways, but are both left leaning pro-intervention states which believe that they are helping other worlds and societies. Centrum's hierarchical, which the culture realy isn't - but otherwise they seem to have a lot in common.
I'd say their more textbook communism than fascism, since no single dictator is in charge, and there is no private industry seperate from the state. In reality they aren't anything - they're merritocratic technocracy.
