Uhh.

The base revelation of political philosophy (thanks Locke, Thucydides) is that all exists in a state of anarchy where the powerful do what they will and the weak bear what they must. This, until(if) the biological/social landscape changes wholly, and then in my opinion, allows an infinitely variable landscape in which, yes, some of the ideas Gibson/PKD/Stephenson/(I liked Deus Ex) concocted are totally feasible. I even started a novel on a similar premise.

I believe governments to be organizational franchises much like any commercial franchise. They're simply schemes of social/economic organization for members that allow one certain benefits at some cost. I'm uncertain as to how management will take place with so many chaotic entities interacting at will, but there you go, that's the insane inherent nature of anarchy in an infinitely variable world.
