I conceived of this with mostly Sovereign reef-cities, leaning towards semi-feudal. Actually, I was building a fantasy world with underwater cities that could only communicate with each other via magic when I realized that a science fiction setting actually worked better.

I thought about including the default government type I was working with when I came up with the scenario, but I decided against it. oops.

I suspect you can make this scenario work with many forms of government, but that more dysfunctional governments work better, as do smaller units of independence. The government type will matter in this scenario, and in some ways its a nice scenario for exploring the consequences of a given type of government.
