Personally I think it would be pretty badass to have a system where you could get your stuff signed by government. Rather than a digital identifier you have, what I kind of want is a website where I can go & get a trust-token stamped on something I put out, at whatever level of identity I choose:
"This post is authentically produced by Ged Sparrowhawk, born in Gont, living at Roke Island, a student" or
"This post is authentically produced by a student" or
"This post is authentically produced by someone living in Gont" or
"This post is authentically produced by someone born in Roke" or
"This post is authentically produced by Ged Sparrowhawk"
Giving the user the ability to have an authenticating government stamp their items with whatever level of identifiers they want seems like a far preferrable solution to me than creating a strong identity system. Users can pick whatever fits their desire: residing on the planet Earthsea, the island Roke, the town Thwil, or the place the School of Wizards, or the room whatever there-at. Nation/state/county/town/area/street/address, whatever. Government can let us say what we want about ourselves. This is a far more interesting & flexible proposition to me than creating an identity system.
