Basics
- This page aims to outline what the relevant Scales of the economy/materials economy would be in a Post-Development, Post-Decentralization, Post-Fossil Fuel System
- This could be applied to any scale, but this page will focus on National and International Scale
Levels of Scale in the Model
- May need a better name
Most Relevant
Local
- This refers to the level of a community
- Should be no more than what one could travel to in 30 minutes or less (is that time accurate, also may want to factor in distance AND transportation time?)
County
- This is used in the USA, is this an common term elsewhere?
- Essentially multiple communities, and probably a major city center etc
State
- For 2/3 of people's daily activities, this would be the highest relevant level
- Most materials wouldn't "flow" beyond here
Relevant, Yet Only in Specific, Large Scale, Less Common Aspects
National
- This would be mainly for administrative, diplomatic, large scale transit, and social safety net purposes (sometimes called a "Minarchy" in relevant literature)
- Also deals with disaster relief and epidemic/pandemic response
Regional
- This is similar to how "national is to state" but even lesser so
- Also deals with disaster relief and epidemic/pandemic response
Global
- Essentially what the UN is now, most likely with less, if any military role, and as a much "Stronger UN" (ie binding treaties, no vetos etc)
- Large Scale Treaties, Projects, and Rules/Guidelines
