The only difference I see is that they aren't defined by territories, but by memberships. So they're like crime cartels, mafias - organizations not noted for their encouragement of free markets.In time's past, in various places in Earth's history, the laws one was beholden to was not based on territories or where you happened to be, but the particular Lord you swore allegiance to. I think PPAs sound similar, and what's nice about them is because it is not based on territories, there can be multiple competing governments covering the same geographic area. I like the idea of being able to choose a different government if I don't like the one I have without having to move to some foreign place.
But you must appreciate that this leads to jurisdictional disputes and, without another government above them in the heirarchy, the disputes tend to be settled by force or threat of force. Which is why territoriality became the norm for societies from tribal to nation state.
