Hierarchies have a natural slope to them, and a leader can command only so many people. At global government scale, the leader runs out of 'command points' some layers before the hierarchy reaches the citizens.

2 Eventually the "center" can't command the periphery because it simply doesn't know what to do, and its orders become actively harmful.

And why would it care about what to do? The underlings can hide the info because command can't tell it's missing.
