The Network State

A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for
collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually
gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.
When we think of a nation state, we immediately think of the lands, but when we think
of a network state, we should instantly think of the minds. That is, if the nation state
system starts with the map of the globe and assigns each patch of land to a single state,
the network state system starts with the 7+ billion humans of the world and attracts
each mind to one or more networks.
