The Nation State, as we know it, is going away. It’s an outdated construct that does more harm than good, because of its ‘one-size-fits-all’ modality. How do we ensure that the post-nation state reality doesn’t turn into an even more dystopian society, a la 1984? By creating open source protocols for city states and virtual nations, we will build a free and competitive market for governance. Indeed, two already existing models will be discussed, Liberland and Bitnation. http://ouisharefest.com

Nation Do?

10. “Nation (from Latin: natio, "people, tribe, kin, genus, class,
flock") is a social concept with no uncontroversial definition,[1]
but that is most commonly used to designate larger groups or
collectives of people with common characteristics attributed to
them—including language, traditions, customs (mores), habits
(habitus), and ethnicity. A nation, by comparison, is more
impersonal, abstract, and overtly political than an ethnic group.
It is a cultural-political community that has become conscious of
its autonomy, unity, and particular interests.[2]”
