I don't know how much has changed in the last 2 years, but there's a `uuid` npm package that uses the `crypt` built in module on Node, but `Math.random` in the browser.

Having a state not based on a geographical boundary would be interesting for democracy. You could join such a state based on your political alignment, and pay/not pay your taxes to them. It would be like working abroad.
