We have directly stated: 1. Gov can't enforce itself 2. Shade enforces order

There are no ties between those 2 facts outside of distance. there is no indication the 2 support each other at all, especially in the way you are describing. There is no indication about how Vacuo functions at all beyond the very vague details we have that can be interpreted a number of different ways. We are speculating and I am speculating based off what I think makes the most sense. I do think Shade Academy would want there to be some kind of formal government so as to lend its actions some legitimacy and allow for consistency in representation with the other Kingdoms.
