Modern states have failed to safeguard the principles on which they were built - the coercive nature of the nation-state status quo undermines civil liberties and stifles innovation, while its territoriality limits accountability and promotes conflict. Recent technological advances and a gradual shift in public consciousness have given rise to an alternative, however… just as those that came before us, we can now exit from political depravity and economic repression to regain our self-sovereignty.
While the elements of “sovereignty” - territory, population, authority, and recognition - haven’t changed over the last several hundred years, the look and feel of sovereignty certainly has. The future of freedom has become digital, and key to our success in regaining and securing our self-sovereignty is embracing Web3, which includes blockchain technologies, decentralized communities, provable identity, and token-based economics.
Decentralization and the tools of Web3 have finally presented us with the ability to exit to a sovereign “Network State”, the PUNK Armada Network State.
We intend to regain our self-sovereignty by developing The PUNK Armada Network State: a decentralized social network with moral innovation, an archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, and a polycentric society.
- A decentralized social network with moral innovation - An open, decentralized, and dynamic social network with a moral innovation, a sense of national consciousness, a recognized founder, a capacity for collective action, an integrated cryptocurrency, and a consensual government limited by smart contracts, in which identity and communication flow directly between individuals.
- An archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories - An archipelago of crowdfunded physical territories, a virtual capital, and an on-chain census that proves a large enough population, income, and real-estate footprint to attain a measure of diplomatic recognition.
- A polycentric society - A society based on polycentrism, pluralism, spontaneity, self-organization, self-determination, adaptability, freedom, and independence.
The PUNK Armada Network State will populate the land from the cloud in order to establish digital and then physical territory, population, authority, and recognition - the core elements of sovereignty. Network > State.
The PUNK Armada Ecosystem
The tools of the PUNK Armada Network State, collectively referred to as the “PUNK Armada Ecosystem”, are precisely designed to enable the PUNK Armada's Network > State organization. Planned as essential Web3 infrastructure for establishing digital and then physical self-sovereignty, the PUNK Armada Ecosystem includes the following Web3 tools:
- Leverage the territory of our NFT collection, the PUNK Armada PFP.
- Leverage the population of our community, the PUNK Armada DAO.
- Leverage the authority of our agency, PUNK Armada Marketing.
- Leverage the recognition of our cryptocurrency, the PUNK Armada Token [data tba].
