Very interesting and well written! Yes. Indeed you can have elements of centralization and commonality of law while having large amounts of pluralism and in fact you can have them while still having a very high degree of highly heterogenous decentralization. Proof: The Old Republic of the USA was a highly politically and economically decentralized space (some major areas the economy remained highly so until the 1980s and significantly so until the late 1990s!) with high degrees of variability in economic regulations, fiscal policy, and social policy between states and even towns/cities/counties yet all but one of its states operated within English Common Law (I suppose after a while one should say English Common Law descendent) with only slight variation, and the Federal Government was always there and was never nothing.
Thanks again for the interesting writing, I hope your having a nice weekend.
