A Nation For The Nationless

The principal factors that decide a person’s position within humanity are who their parents are and where they were born. As social beings, we begin our lives assigned to communities: the larger social structures that are formed from the social connections of individuals. The largest of these social structures, or communities, are called nations. Through the use of governing institutions, nations come to own and exert their power over a defined territory and ultimately over the individuals which reside within. We are thus born typically under the influence of one nation which develops us to become a part of it.

This is an imperfect process made significantly more ineffective with technological advances in communication between people all over the world. Artificial intelligence, the internet, the smartphone, and the computer are some of the most recent developments which are causing a breakdown of the constraints that gave stability to national formation. This is resulting in a general crisis of community, the alienation of people from their localities and a distressing pandemic of isolation in a world of billions. The breakdown of our collective identities leave us unable to organize and take control of our destinies, marginalizing us, pushing us into obscurity and depriving us of our potential to truly live.

This project intends to resolve this crisis through the construction of a new nation for the new era. We will be establishing the constitution of a community that acts as the framework of a common bond for the future of humanity, for those seeking a great home with great people for a great life.

What Is A Nation And Why Is It Important?

Organized Community

Human beings need an organized community to survive. Creating, raising, feeding, developing, maintaining, protecting, and satisfying the rest of the needs of a single person requires the effort of many people. This is all done through a cooperation that arises from the understanding that life becomes easier when people work together. Cooperation only becomes possible when each individual sacrifices some of their autonomy to meeting the needs of others. When the people work together to develop a collective structure and agree to participate in it, this is the basic functioning of social organization.

An example of this in our daily lives is the way we engage in formal labor. We were born into a society that provides us with several needs in the form of food, shelter, medicine, education, and others. In return, we are expected to generate some form of value for the society. It is because of a complex and developed community organization that this happens, often unconsciously, for millions of people. For most of our lives we do not have worry about building our homes, growing our food, and securing our water all at once. We are given or seek out a task that has collective value, with the calculated expectation that enough people socially participating in the same way will result in a stable community.

Nation

A nation in its most basic form, its origin, is a community of people who have come together for a reason that they share in common. As a nation develops, what differentiates it from other communities is that it becomes its own self-sustaining society. Individuals may actively seek out this community, but the community itself is tasked with the physical and mental creation of new members and with the reinforcement of its existing members. In its fullest development the nation provides the necessities of life to all its members and becomes an equal historical participant on the global stage of humanity.
