All sources used by CentOS are freely available under a
distributable license, as are those for patched RPMs
consistent with its GPL obligation when _distributing_ the
product of another; the CentOS art and security keying are
about all that you'll need to change when you found your new
republic, Plato. I think perhaps a closer read of your book
would reveal discussion of a meritocracy, governed by
philosopher kings.

..... btw, congrats on deftly avoiding Godwin.
Please note that CentOS' art represents a trademarked item;
you appear to have missed the fact that a more correct say to
have stated that may be:
CentOS strives to be binary compatible with its
upstream, with that upstream's trademarked content
elided.
Good luck with your vision of a non-"totalitarian" future.
Please post the URL of the new project's website, and don't
forget to^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h write. Negativism, trolling
behviours, and leaching without conferring value earn places
in my personal 'killfile'
