So for reasons previously touched upon, Tuvalu is going to disappear in the next century. Because it’s required as per protocol, they want to transfer themselves into the informational world as a substitute for what they need to keep all the perks of sovereignty (that moment when we get both such a nation and a Muslim pope before we get GTA 6). This, of course, doesn’t come without its own challenges, such as exploitation by bad actors. So I was thinking… what if, in this state of existence, they were federated, mastodon-style? Would this win in the win-win department?
Eh?
You mean we should upload all the residents consciousnesses into a sort of library computer?
They mean it more as a way to call dibs on their legal sovereignty even when physical trace of their existence is gone. Which makes me wonder how the Sovereign Military Order of Malta gets away with what they do.
Like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta?
Very similar to that, yes.
