Not sure the comparison works. Humans may have different types of governments but they're still fundamentally the same. The IDSE and the Canopy Domain are just so inherently different from each other that I'm not sure "different government" is an adequate term to describe it. Different species fails as well. Because many different species on earth have the capacity to understand the emotions of others (threat/territorial displays). It sounds like the IDSE and the Canopy domain lack even that.

Spoiler:

Kinda odd how Kuyou seemingly goes from trying to reach out to Kyon and even get protective of him when Asakura threatens him....to trying to kill him herself. Goes to show how alien they are to not see the schizophrenic nature of their actions.
