**We envision a world where networked communities have the agency, infrastructure, and legitimacy to govern themselves — fostering human flourishing beyond the constraints of legacy institutions.** We see a future in which Network Nations are recognized as legitimate forms of social organization, where distributed communities can experiment with new governance models, build shared infrastructure, and coordinate collective action across traditional boundaries. vs A flourishing ecosystem of Network Nations exists as a recognized and viable form of social organization — where distributed communities coordinate across physical and digital space, stewarding shared identity and resources while maintaining cultural coherence and practical sovereignty. The concept of Network Nations is well-understood, accessible, and actively shaping how humanity organizes in the 21st century.
