The article is intended for those who want to create their own corporation/alliance or are already developing them, or are looking for a team to their liking. What types of government are possible within a corp and what can be considered an established team/political unit in EVE that is recognized by other participants? Let's figure it out in order. 



Types of government

1) Communal-tribal - the main feature, this is everything that you do as a corporation, is always done together. Mining moons, camping on gates, farming, etc. The second main feature of the tribal system is the presence of a leader. That is, let's say you need to build a house, or fight with someone, the community gathers and the leader appoints who will do what in the tribe. Any type of activity, by and large, is always a crowd. 

2) Hetmanate - a feature, this is everything that you do, happens solo. Those. build a house, yourself or hire builders for money, buy materials, etc. But in case of war, all members of the corp gather in Kuren, Sotnya, and eventually, in a Regiment. 

Then those who came to war choose a commander-in-chief for themselves, and happily go, give the invaders a beating. Those who came and fought, loot respect, those who commanded a little more respect, and then the corp pilots go home, to their business. 

3) Anarchy is the absence of a superstructure of power, or it is weakly expressed. The peculiarity is that no one will come to the rescue if you are robbed, if your house is on fire, or if you feel bad. Everything is also independent, but agreements may not be observed, or change over time and circumstances. 

Now let's talk about how to understand among a bunch of corporations which of them is established, and who is still just striving to become one?

Corporation Competence



"Fragile statehood" - government structures that "have lost or failed to acquire the ability to govern in key areas of competence." Such areas of competence include:

1) Monopoly on the use of force. In this area, the following conditions may serve as indicators of loss of competence:

• lack of control over the entire territory or part of the territory;
• lack of control over external borders;
• a large number and political significance of non-state structures (including terrorist ones) that use force;
• regular cases of lynching.

2) Public services in various areas. Indicators of loss of competence:

• systematic exclusion of certain social groups from economic resources;
• deep economic crises;
• colossal arrears of taxes or customs duties and, conversely, multiple taxation;
• a growing gap between rich and poor.

3) Political structure. Indicators of loss of competence:

• strengthening of authoritarian or oligarchic decision-making structures;
• repression of the political opposition;
• falsification of election results, causing discontent among a part of society and political tension;
• systematic exclusion of certain groups of the population from participation in politics;
• gross violations of human rights.

 
Transferring to our game Eve, it is enough to highlight two main indicators indicating the competence of the corporation you own, or the one you decided to join: 

1) The presence of its own system (Lowsec - 5th agent, ore, etc., Highsec - athanors for mining moons, fortizars for 0% plex trading with injectors, etc., Nulls - claim, anomalies, ore, WH - relics, ore, anomalies, Soil - anomalies, ore, observatories). If the corp has its own solar system, then there is an economy, a place for farming. 

2) The ability to defend yourself, i.e. protect your home and what you own. Roughly speaking - the presence of an army.
With the two points above, the corporation that you are developing as a CEO or are thinking of joining as a pilot can be considered established and competent. And without them, the team is only in the process of formation. 
An economy without an army does not work, because everything ends with the first arrival of pirates in the system. 
Also, just having an army, without your own base, allows you to roam, camp, rob and attack, but does not make the corp a political unit recognized by the rest of the game participants. Example, Vikings. 

Conclusion

The article above is my personal opinion and it is not necessarily correct. Write your version of the structure and indicator of the corporation's development. The only point that remains unanswered is whether it is possible to consider a corp that rents a system there for 10 billion a month, and which is guarded by the owners, competent?
