Jeff Richard and I both ran community-based games for the Seattle Farmers Collective. Almost all of the Glorantha campaigns at <http://www.pensee.com/dunham/glorantha.html> (even the one-shots) had strong community elements.

We didn't always use the HQ2 community rules (they hadn't been written yet), but your character's relationship with the clan was always very important.

King of Dragon Pass is a game where you essentially play a clan.

Not really familiar with the games you mention, so you'll have to be more specific about what role the community should play.
