The existence of a single central voting process, as a bottleneck for decision making, makes the system significantly different, and its implications need to be considered. Yes, I know that "economic democracy" and "voting with your dollars" are common metaphors. But "auction" is a better metaphor than "vote." (For that matter, it might be interesting to model a political system as an auction where laws are made for the highest bidder—though it might sound cynical!)

Re: GURPS Realm Management: New Economy Types
It would be interesting to try and come up with a voting scheme that incorporates "how much do you actually care?", though that's not precisely an auction unless you allow group bids.

Probably Capitalism, managed with a skill high enough to make boom-bust episodes a very rare critical failure.

That said, our main real-world example really was a one-off case, especially during the early years of Tito's long rule. So a weird solution under the rules is not inappropriate. I'd say that both the government and the economy were hybrids, actually (which GURPS Realm Management allows, too): Tribal/Autocracy government with Socialist/Participatory economy. |

Re: GURPS Realm Management: New Economy Types
The system I came up with for United Dragon States of America combined Single Transferable Vote and Shortest-Splitline.
These would in all odds helped prevent the mess that was the election of 1824 and the nonsense that exists with the first past the post and the gerrymander districts into Rorschach tests that exists in IRL.
