Network-State Movement
Proposes that an online community develop shared commitments, collective organization, and distributed physical territory before seeking political recognition. It treats digital coordination and the ability to form new communities as tools of institutional change.
Reference boundary: A proposed route to new polities, not a synonym for an existing country or every digital community. Ordinary international-integration answers do not establish agreement.
Foundational doctrines
- Online community formation
- Distributed territory
- New political recognition
- Exit and institutional experimentation
Disagreement and variation
Voluntary entry does not settle the rights of workers, neighbors, future residents, or people unable to exit. Founder authority, territorial law, democratic accountability, and diplomatic recognition remain unresolved institutional problems.
Numerical positions in the interactive model are editorial reference estimates, not scientifically validated measurements.
