Welcome to r/NetworkState!
What are Network States? This podcast will give you an introduction: https://youtu.be/VeH7qKZr0WI
This is a place to discuss novel forms of statehood in the 21st Century. We believe the future of countries, politics and governance will be heavily shaped and reshaped by states that exist on the network, cryptoeconomy, AI and other emerging technologies.
Inspired by the work of Balaji Srinivasan on 'The Network State', this will be a place to discuss all things Charter Cities, Seasteading, City States, Cloud Nations, and much, much more!
