Not a fan of 'network states'.

But a huge believer in existing social institutions integrating internet-based services into their governance processes with the goal of being more transparent, effective and accountable.

But the latter is a bit boring and doesn't have zeal in how its articulated.

But here are two examples of what I mean:

1. Local property, water, road and electricity bills paid in Bitcoin.

This would drastically improve the financial health of local governments, and reduce their reliance on grants from state and union governments. Addresses controlled by the municipality or municipal corporation can be tagged or publicly disclosed. Chaumian mints can be used to disburse subsidies, if the government should choose to.

2. Nostr relays that can only be accessed if proof of residence is produced, thereby creating a local social internet.

This means cost of maintenance of relays should be maintained by the local government, funds for which will come from their treasuries. Local institutions like courts, law and order departments and other government departments can use this relay to issue notices, announcements and other official communication.
