Looking into the Hanseatic League. From what I gather, decisions were made by consensus rather than majority vote. There was no standing army or fleet but they would hire armed citizens for protection from pirates etc. They had private courts, which had no right to coerce but could for example exclude a merchant from the league. #voluntaryism
