  There isn't one, I'm speaking in terms of humanity as a species. In an ideal world the UN would have coordinated this sort of thing, had national governments been willing to pool their sovereignty to a greater degree in earlier decades. That said, representative democracy seems to perform increasingly poorly at scale; on the other hand, the relatively unrestricted freedom of the internet demonstrates that bimodal distributions, de facto monopolies, and plantation models run rampant as soon as you introduce ranking systems. To some extent this is a natural outcome of preferential attachment, a phenomenon which exists in nature at the physical level and precedes life or any individual species. See river development, for example.
