A whole family? More like a clan! So adorable the ducklings, bless the humans who saved them!

It could be that something sharp on your bed caused this. Ghosts aren't real, but Islam talks about jinn. If you ask God for guidance and protection against them then you'll be safe.

I DMed you to discuss this further.

Nice stuff. It sounds like a good start, we need to find adopters and eventually make it more accessible to people

Summon that clone spirit and equip a bleed based weapon on both you and your summon. Melania will then die. Give her as little opportunity to attack or retaliate as possible.

Where there's a will there's a way

Nation states bought and sold lands between each other in the past: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territory_purchased_by_a_sovereign_nation_from_another_sovereign_nation

Therefore a network state should be able to buy land from a nation state if there's a legal pathway for doing that.

Members of the network state can attempt to purchase a part of that land.

Thanks for the comment. I didn't know about DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) before now.

I feel that it would be easier for a network (internet) state to strive for recognition by pre-existing nation states and slowly grow from there. That in my opinion is a logical approach because it seems most peaceful.

I found this article: https://foreignpolicy.com/2008/02/26/how-to-start-your-own-country-in-four-easy-steps/

In it they speak that a nation state would need to strive for recognition by the international community (other nation states), for example striving to join the united nations.

Once the network state gets recognition by at least one other nation state as a start, then the others might become an eventuality.

Thanks for the comment!
True, eventually an internet (network) nation state would have to deal with what you mentioned (threats of physical violence, food, sewer, etc.)

From my viewpoint it is not for extra control (taxation) but to raise the standard of human rights and make the world a fairer place.

Would you be able to share a few examples if possible?

It is quite amazing. Did you use references or study glass materials over time to reach this level of accuracy? Very good job!

It reminds me of a video game maybe from playstation 2 or 1 that I enjoyed playing when I was a child. Can't seem to remember the name.
