> We definitely need a bill of rights and constitution under the net-states. One that our liberal institutions can defend. A constitution, and institutions that may uphold it, would be internal and specific to a particular net-state. Just like with real states, they can't be enforced on a net-state from outside except by extreme use of force. This is a good thing: I don't want a single Net-wide constitution for all present and future net-states, because I don't trust any single body to write or enforce it! Variation between net-states is broadly good, as long as emigration is easy. So I'm not sure what you mean by "our liberal institutions", but if you mean "our US non-net liberal institutions", then as someone who's not a US citizen I don't want them to have power over me.
