Our Governance systems are built on a 250-year-old operating system consisting of political institutions, based on social constructs and papers, and secured by guns.
Meanwhile, our modern economy runs on a digital-native operating system, consisting of the Internet and blockchains, based on networks and open-source code, secured by cryptography.

The main reason we have a multi-century technological gap between the governance system and the modern economy is the lack of a frontier for creating new governments or public services from scratch and competing with established systems.
Startups have already created new companies, media, communities, and even currencies.
Could they also build new cities and governance systems?
