* ''MutantChronicles'': 
** Mishima is based on Tokugawa-era ''bushido'', and a particularly brutal brand at that. Land and industrial rights are given as fiefdoms, with the High Lords doing as they please. Social mobility is pretty much non-existent, though that is changing.
** Bauhaus are also purely feudal, but less oppressive. Bauhaus nobles, unlike their Mishiman counterparts, have a strong sense of ''noblesse obligé'', and commoners who distinguish themselves can be raised to the nobility. That said, commoners are second-class citizens, and no bones are made about that.
** Imperial flip-flops a bit. It's system is a clan-based feudal system, and within each clan, the chief's word goes. The titles are hereditary. However, the system gives even low-ranking clan members a say in how the clan is governed, the head of the corporation is advised by a council of commoners, one from each clan, and a chief who manages to turn his own clan against him can expect to be deposed and dead in short order. 
** Capitol is a subversion. The corporation is governed by shareholders voting their stock like a modern day corporation, with the CEO holding a position analogue to that of the president of the United States. 
** Cybertronic gets things done. Somehow.
