Depends on what the players like and how much ability they have to determine things within a pre-defined government framework.

It's the same with a pre-made server-wide currency, it just removes a large portion and progression from the game.

If you want to play the game as intended, go with allowing natural formation of towns, countries and federations.

Just wanting to note something here:
Eco is a framework. Server admins providing customized experiences to try out, including with some kind of presetup is not unintended.

Yea, I never understood that, cut out the first bit of the game then wonder why servers only last two weeks…

Actually servers with premade government tend to last longer, as they are mostly concept community servers. So there is no relation to that. See White Tiger.
