Central as described reminds me quite a bit about the EU... or at least, what the EU thinks of itself before it gets mired in bureaucracy as every single viewpoint/language/culture must be given a say and must be accomodated and or bailed out. Just waiting to federate when the other superpowers get out of the way, then we'll be a big deal again.
