Hi all
Regarding the government of the WW, I think that we can make a few guesses about the most likely structure, because of the application of theories from our world that can be carried over to the WW.
For example, the government of the WW must be a fairly basic democratic with as little interference in the private affairs of its citizens as possible. The reason, carried over from our world, is that the wizards are always armed with wands, which can be used as offensive weapons. Someone, I forget who but I'll look it up, said that an armed populace means a democraticy, while an unarmed populace can be something less repersentive.
Second guess: Democratises don't fight amongst themselves (or at least I can't think of an example) and therefore there will probably be no wizarding equivalent of the World Wars. For them, perhaps, there will be no nations, as we understand the term, but merely administrate centres. Therefore, the concerns from the 'rule Britannica' thread are simply not valid, the aurors could cross the boundaries between the administrative centres without trouble.
Just my few pennies
