While this is not a comprehensive list, the forms of government listed here comprise the majority of those found on Prax.
Revolutionary Unions
The first kinds of governments that formed on Prax stations.
Tend to have a looser hierarchy or no hierarchy at all.
Not necessarily communist, just revolutionary
They are defined by their opposition to SICG, which quickly became a less meaningful label as time went on.
Tend to be relatively lawless, with anarchic forms of society and usually unorganized, decentralized teams that operate machines and divide supplies.
There are not very many of these left, as most have evolved into other kinds of government.
Communist Unions
Many Revolutionary Unions evolved into Communist Unions.
Strict division of resources and labor.
Strict enforcement of punishment against criminals.
Harsh penalties for being unable to work.
Strict hierarchies, designated leaders managing distribution of supplies and assignment of tasks.
Not many of these are left either, as most have had second revolutions into Survival Unions.
There are still a sizable number of Communist Unions remaining.
SICG Holdouts
Not all SICG forces were wiped out.
These holdouts work just like before the major revolutions.
Guards continue to force prisoners to labor except they now sell to other corporations, pirates, and nations.
Abandoned by SICG.
Some still cling to their identities as SICG units.
Others' wardens and command teams have gone rogue and run their holdouts as small tyrants.
Most keep the revolutions on other locations a secret with relatively high success.
Not many of these exist, as many end up having isolated revolutions anyways.
Survival Unions
The most common form of government on Prax.
The government on a given facility owns all machinery.
Workers go to stations they are familiar with (but can move around to any work station where there are openings).
Workers are paid and can do what they want with their government issued currency.
There taxes and some social services.
They are usually democratic.
There is a hierarchy in the workplace that directs labor.
Foremen are usually appointed/hired by elected officials.
