A new nation state
on the cloud
We are building a zero-tax, Web3-powered, solarpunk society. One that serves you, not the other way round.
We have been taught that nation states are ever-lasting institutions that are native to humankind itself.
Yet they have failed us.
We can do better.
Nation3 is on a mission to rebuild nation states into zero-tax, Web3-powered, solarpunk societies.
Our projects
Citizenship as an experience
Citizens can stake $NATION to obtain an NFT passport. They can install it on their phone, get push notifications and set a signer account for voting. They can take part in governance using a well established and reliable governance process.
Internet-native legal system
Crypto created an Internet-native financial system, superseding the old-world system. But we lack an Internet-native legal system. We are building it by creating tools for open source legal agreements, enforced by a reliable court system.
Basic income for citizens
- Providing a basic financial starting point allows citizens to have their essential needs covered, unleashing their mind space for creative purposes and opening doors for them to enter into economic activity within the Nation3 jurisdiction.

Our thoughts
The scope of a nation
What does a nation state really do? Today's nation states simultaneously do a lot and very little. They tend to be very paternalistic and constantly expand scope, all while failing to deliver on the basics — like improving common goods or implementing technology that would benefit everyone.
We don’t really need taxes
We are used to the concept of taxes. They were exercised by many entities through history, from feudal lords to modern governments. In principle they don’t differ much from paying for services, given out by someone controlling the land in which activities are carried out.
Building an Internet-native jurisdiction
The Internet has been the fastest growing economy of our times. But it still relies on old-world railways: the financial system and the legal system.
Building an open source legal system
Programming has become so much more productive during the last decades. The sheer amount of tools available has enabled programmers to focus more on their code, and not on reinventing the wheel.
UBI as a public good - or unleashing human creativity
Why UBI is meaningful and critical for the world at large needs no explanation: it provides a certain level of financial stability and therefore guarantees a quality of life that every human being deserves.
Great governance makes wealthy countries
A nation's governance is hard and complex, but it can be summarized in:
