These internet-governments already exist, but we hardly think about them as governments because they are built upon our national governments.
Companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon all count. I am looking at the following corollaries here:
- Has physical dependencies (devices)
- Has citizens & well-defined relationship (users & tos)
- Has economy (app & e-commerce stores)
- Has communication (has APIs)
- Has higher-level information (surveillance & analytics of users)
