I didn't see it mentioned, but some communities are also living under direct rule/control of local warlords, cartels, gangs, or other coercive body that has supplanted state control for their own. These societies are also not living under rule of a modern state, and enjoy a form of autonomy.

On an even snaller scale, cults and communes have also established autonomy in their locales, at least for a period of time.

I could draw some conclusions or judgments here, but would rather not at this time.
