The state model has failed countless times and been driven into the ground. Sure the Republic was successful but it lasted two weeks before falling on its face for many of the same reasons guilds using the state model do. There are bits and pieces of the state model that work, but as a whole it is dysfunctional.

If people work together, they can take the best parts of past guilds while looking at the reasons behinds it's failures to make a new, more functional model.
