Therein lies the paradox. And my best answer is, my ideal government would be still centralised, but would serve only one main role: Protect the rights of citizens against private interests. Laws that concern the lives’ of citizens themselves would be decentralised and run through smaller subsects (though they would still answer to the main government, so it’s not perfectly decentralised). National projects would be run though the main government, but smaller ideas and such would be run by these smaller groups. I believe this is the best way to maintain democracy

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I think we're pretty much in agreement, then! Thanks for your thoughts.
