Economic Systems
The following is a list of the predominant modern economic philosophies

Distributism
Distributism: An economic theory which views widespread property ownership as a fundamental right; the means of production are spread as widely as possible rather than being centralized under the control of the state, or a few individuals/corporations. Distributism seeks to subordinate economic activity to human life, to spiritual life, intellectual life, and family life. In these systems credit unions replace private banks and the guild system stands in place of labor unions. Business models tend to favor co-operatives in such a system. The theory holds a commitment to the principles of subsidiarity and solidarity (these being built into financially independent local cooperatives and small family businesses) and recognizes minor state intervention to assure there is no threat of monopoly, overt inequality, and there is the existence of a social safety net, promoting, for example, the establishment of a state development bank to fund infrastructure projects.

Modern examples using this economic system include Romania

Mutualism
Mutualism: An economic theory that advocates a society with free markets, occupation, and use, i.e. usufruct property norms. One implementation of this scheme involves the establishment of a mutual-credit bank that lends to producers at a minimal interest rate, just high enough to cover administration. Mutualism is based on a version of the labor theory of value holding that when labor or its product is sold, it ought to receive in exchange goods or services embodying "the amount of labor necessary to produce an article of exactly similar and equal utility. Distinguished from state associationism in that mutualists do not advocate state control over any of the means of production. Instead, each person possesses a means of production, either individually or collectively, with trade representing equivalent amounts of labor in the free market.

Associationism
Associationism: A system in which workers, democratically and/or socially own the means of production. The economic framework may be decentralized and self-managed in autonomous economic units, as in libertarian systems, or centrally planned, as in authoritarian systems. Public services such as healthcare and education are commonly, collectively, and/or state owned.

Modern examples using this system include Bakitara

Mercantilism
Mercantilism: A system in which the means of production (machines, tools, factories, etc.) are owned by private individuals, workers then negotiate with those individuals to use those means of production in exchange for a portion of what they produce, usually in the form of capital. The owners of the means of production are entitled to whatever portion of the products of the workers' labor that is agreed upon by the two parties. Mercantilism generally promotes such policies as substitution state taxation, subsidies, expenditures, and general regulatory powers for tariffs and quotas, and protection through the formation of supranational trading blocs

Modern examples using this system include Cambria

Interventionism
Interventionism: An economic policy perspective favoring government intervention in the market process to correct the market failures and promote the general welfare of the people. An economic intervention is an action taken by a government or international institution in a market economy in an effort to impact the economy beyond the basic regulation of fraud and enforcement of contracts and provision of public goods. Interventionism can be aimed at a variety of political or economic objectives, such as promoting economic growth, increasing employment, raising wages, raising or reducing prices, promoting income equality, managing the money supply and interest rates, increasing profits, or addressing market failures.

Modern examples using this system include Persia

Government Systems
The following is a list of the predominant modern governmental philosophies

Republicanism
Republicanism: A form of government in which the country is considered a "public matter", not the private concern or property of the rulers. The primary positions of power within a republic are not inherited but are attained through elections expressing the consent of the governed. Such leadership positions are therefore expected to fairly represent the citizen body.

Modern examples using this system include Romania

Federalism
Federalism: A political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states, as well as the division of power between them and the central government, is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of either party, the states or the federal political body. Alternatively, federation is a form of government in which sovereign power is formally divided between a central authority and a number of constituent regions so that each region retains some degree of control over its internal affairs.

Modern examples using this system include Francia

Communalism
Communalism: A system that integrates communal ownership and federations of highly localized independent communities. A theory of government or a system of government in which independent communes participate in a federation, as well as the principles and practice of communal ownership. The term 'government' in this case does not imply acceptance of a state or top-down hierarchy. A system in which freedom is given institutional form in public assemblies that become decision-making bodies.

Modern examples using this system include Ganonsia

Managism
Managism: A democratic government that functions in a quasi-democratic fashion. Such governments hold legitimate elections that are free and fair, but do not overtly change the state's policies, motives, and goals regardless. Cultural and traditional values are often emphasized in such systems and the state may attempt to dissuade society from any altered course. Many or most major television networks and newspapers are typically owned or controlled by the government in managist governments.

Modern examples using this system include Persia,  Tsalagia

Monarchism
Monarchism: A form of government in which a group, generally a family representing a dynasty, embodies the country's national identity and its head, the monarch, exercises the role of sovereignty. The actual power of the monarch may vary from purely symbolic (crowned republic), to partial and restricted (constitutional monarchy), to completely autocratic (absolute monarchy). Traditionally the monarch's post is inherited and lasts until death or abdication. In contrast, elective monarchies require the monarch to be elected. Both types have further variations as there are widely divergent structures and traditions defining monarchy.

Autocracy
Autocracy: A system of government in which supreme power (social and political) is concentrated in the hands of one person or polity, whose decisions are subject to neither external legal restraints nor regularized mechanisms of popular control. Absolute monarchy and dictatorships are the main modern day forms of autocracy.
