If #Bitcoin is decentralized, unbreakable money and #nostr is decentralized, unbreakable social media, what would be a decentralized, unbreakable government?

One that is not coercively funded.

Government, success and happiness mix that together and get... oxymoron

One that emerges naturally

Unfortunately it won't exist....

Government means control.

I would argue, that communities of dunbars number to may 1'000 or around this could be a good measure for federal communes. So they have the possibility to decide on all local stuff on how to handle it.

Then there still can be a cantonal/district level and a state level.

And I believe, that the Swiss demicracy is very stable and balanced.

Oh wow, I just found you! I'm also very crazy about this and am working on bringing it to Spain/Portugal. Would love to connect with you :), sent you a PM by the way.

I’m not sure if a government can ever be decentralised- I’m unsure how that would even work. Because there are things that require centralisation- and are simply better for it. However I think that if there’s strong transparency and strong accountability- then that would put the power back to the people and effectively make it more decentralised in the form of where the power lies.

What are your thought ?

I think the closest to what you ask is the Swiss democracy (Swiss political system). Here's a video that explains how it works and the difference to all the current political systems:

Switzerland is one of the freest country in the world. My argument is that it is so because it's actually the only democracy in the world.

Each canton has a constitution with independent police, courts, health, education, taxation system.
