Interestingly, this reminds me of the distributed cultural nation-states based on interests as described in _The Diamond Age_. The idea of non-location-based national affiliation has interested me since I read about that, and though I've read some about old Iceland's political system, I never knew they had such a thing.

There's got to easily be at least 10 million, 20 million people who think the way I think, but we're all spread out and surrounded by hundreds of millions of people who want to force us to do their bidding, impose their morals on us by force, and so on. Individually we couldn't stand up against a horde, but if we could become part of the same recognized affiliation and negotiate and work together voluntarily - that'd be something.
