Government in the GOIO
Squidslinger Gilder:
Yesha has 3 branches of government but it is similar to Anglea in that it is a republic format. At least, it was awhile back. I know Muse has done a lot more detail on Yesha than the others. But I've noticed small changes over time. Heck at one point there was a reference to the Baronies refining for Yesha, but then that changed.
DrTentacles:
So it's a republic called an empire, with hints at a a caste system. Curious.

Yeah, I originally thought it was more Imperial but then I had to check into it for the VN and nope, its a republic. I would imagine that it is more Sith Empire and less Old Republic. But instead of just an Emperor ruling, you have the 3 branches. The Consuls hold that supreme power and preside over a senate type setup.
Baronies I imagine as more feudal. There is a king but he's more of a symbol and the Barons more or less run the show. Which would give rise to a great amount of cloak and dagger.
The Guild, I kinda imagine as having sort of a Mafia/Merchant King system. It is ran by families/etc. In a way, not terribly different than Arashi's tribal system, cept they are asses who would sell their own mother to make a profit.
Chaladon I could see having minimal government. Loose state or province system. Possibly some likeness to the Baronies except with no king or major ruler over their heads. More free society that has their paradise and doesn't really care about the rest of the world as much. Gryphos has a nice quote that fits them in the VN. Basically there is a scene where the protagonist's dad is discussing the other nations and the general idea about Chaladon he puts across is,"Maybe… maybe they don’t want to eat at the restaurant, but they do want to know what’s on the menu, and what others are ordering.” Kinda like window shoppers when it comes to the other nations.

They are described as

So, some sort of loose confederation? Or like the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean, held together by a vague code of conduct?

I think that sentence is referring to a past League, where borders were being drawn, pacts signed, etc within the desert.
I'm guessing that the League is a commonwealth-alliance mix similar to the real world CIS, but with them sharing a common currency, military, and language. Plus, given that the desert is just western Europe turned sideways and it's called the "Arashi League", I'm gambling that Muse is basing the League off of the League of Nations, which was (or what Wilson wanted to be) similar to a commonwealth.
Jason McMorgan:
Anglean Republic are a scattered number of villages that have a governing official with advisors, however they are all united under a singular ruler of the entire republic and gather to meet at certain times. Despite their barbaric actions of raiding, slavery, and piracy, they are actually quite organized (which is kinda necessary when living in such a harsh environment and a reliance on piracy and thievery.)
Yeshan Empire is your basic classical Asian style government, however unlike ancient China and Japan, the Empire is run by a council of Eunuchs who are the intellectual and philosophical elite.
The Arashi League, if I remember correct, don't have a central leader, and are similar to the Angleans that they are a cluster of villages with their own leaders but are not always allies with each other.
