GM! Fuck the state.

In it's current state
Agreed. In your opinion, what’s the ideal state look like?
Minimal. Limited to regal functions.
What’s regal functions?
The basic ones would be
Provide justice
Protect citizens against violent aggressors
Ensure the respect of the law
Run a coherent administration
Levy taxes to fund the above

Regal functions in my mind are the last ones that will be decentralised. I doubt that they ever will be distributed.
All the rest could be handled by protocols with sufficient coherent coordination.
