This is actually a funny question if you think about it a bit more.
There is no such thing as a centralized system globally speaking, at least not in the real world. Having global centralized systems is actually a very new thing that only came to be on the internet.
Otherwise the world is by necessity deeply decentralized. Even at the level of individual nation states it usually is much more decentralized that it appears at first. Humans simply can't do centralized systems, this only came to be once we had a global computerized network.
