### Narrative or Memetic intro: If the [Network State](https://thenetworkstate.com/) was the war cry, you can think of this the battle strategy. It's a meta framework assembled into a tactical guide on how to create network states that are illegible to current systems. If you're 1776 inclined Balaji sent the declaration and this is The Articles of Confederation a temporary but necessary document meant to outline how this new society will function, before settling on something more permanent and self supporting. If you're 1917 inclined the goal of this document is to get the movement from where is it currently to a place of dual power. ### Concrete Intro: If you don't know what network states are or don't want to build them that's fine, ***this isn't for you***. With that out of the way there is a huge gap between where we are and where we want to be. I hope to advance us halfway to our goals by laying out a concrete almost step by step guide to setting up a semi-sovereign network state. Semi because this guide is not geared towards international recognition, but instead towards functional sovereignty the ability to operate internally in sovereign ways. This repo has different folders geared towards the 4 things you need in order to build a truly sovereign parallel society: Sovereign: * Tech * Ideas (Memes) * Law (Legal Structures) * Money (Financial) Each of these sections lays out fundamental guiding principles and then expounds upon concrete example of them along with pointing to resources and people working on this particular aspect. To give you a sense of how these things all fit together I'm working on building a parallel society myself called the [Monasterion Network](https://techne.louisandersonllc.com/Current/The+Monasterion+Network) which also has a folder linked and will be referenced frequently to give a concrete examples of how these ideas can be put into practical use.
