Great article and interesting the concept idea of Economic Community.
We can add that for an EC to achieve its aims towards Circular Economy and self-resilience, it is important the presence of a competent "platform agnostic" local node that can evaluate strategies and tactics for a better application of financial technologies and all different tools and market analyses.
And in the relation between ECs, having a local fintech node, appears the need to form organizative structures for administrative and coordination tasks, in form of committees or any other label, that after can confederate with another ECs.
How we said, "Note that, for all purposes, the Local ECs behave as small independent States (economically speaking)."; and independency means also covering the self-administrative role of the Economic Community, that can only be reached forming a self-administration.

This is the paradigm of Democratic Autonomy and Democratic Confederalism...
