In summary, everyone wants Hawaii (utopia). You probably have the South (teams distrusting of mandates, believe their way is the best, everyone printing their own money). The EU is probably a good model (same money, same roads, same defense strategy, shared rules).
Anyways, I should get a blog.

Not to pile too much nuance on "federated vs. centralized" #designsystem nomenclature, but there's a big difference between "federated" and "confederated" systems. Federal systems _should_ have a strong center. Having a centralized team doesn't need to be Soviet authoritarianism either.

2. It's really hard to pull off Hawaii

As an American, I will fight for your right to never fucking have to care about what’s going on here ever again. US-Canada relations should be limited to hockey and baseball.
