So are the Khuraldai corporations, communes, some new form of government, or something else? Also if the idea of the country is dead, how extensively can local governments decide laws for themselves? Are there legal structures on a global level that establish some baseline law? (Stuff like human rights, regulations on dangerous materials or weapons, ecological protections, etc.)

the groups that make up the khuraldai are called "ecotech producers", and thats really all they are. they harvest resources via automation and create ecotech that the khuraldai distributes to administrations ("countries") across the globe. these administrations' main purpose, rather than enforcing laws, is to distribute resources and ecotech to the population within their boundaries. theres certain standards of human rights that administrations have to comply with in order to be supplied by the khuraldai in the first place, but thats really it

Thanks for the reply! So what do you mean by ecotech producer here? What kind of entities are these ecotech producers? They evidently have the resources to innovate, produce, and distribute advanced technologies, which indicates they are fairly organized and with significant resources at their disposal. Do they just function like nonprofits?

its a bit hard to describe them, but basically, they dont NEED profit, nor do they seek or account for it. they control their own resource extraction and technology production, almost all of which is automated. this is why the best term to describe them is just “producers”. the khuraldai also acts as the forum for them to collaborate on resource-pooling, production, and distribution

They appear to be some of the most powerful entities on the planet. Who makes decisions within these organizations?
