This really got me thinking about the larger implications this could have for humanity on a political scale in a sphere of endless space.
If you can follow the thread of my thinking maybe you can see the beginning of the end for nationhood? Could the future of "nations" exist in the space they really occupy? The 'real' space of nation being an ideal space rather than a physical space.
Is it at all plausible that the future may be something more like being born without a "nationality" and when you reach a certain age choosing which "nation" to join?. I would assume that in the far flung future of humanity if we are able to live comfortably off planet and in a self sustaining environment that this is the most likely course for humanity.
I think right now in the world today we can already see this "freedom" of movement being expressed on the internet. We are free roaming and able to go anywhere and do anything online. These freedoms of course are freedoms people are trying to reign in, but I am not sure they will be able to in the same way as they can with physically imposed national borders.
I am looking hopefully toward the idea of a anarchic "government" I guess. I do imagine at least some form of "government", or rather "system", that will lean toward more anarchic ideals.
What are your thoughts about the possibility of the death of nationhood as we know it? If you wish to talk about the likelihood of transition go ahead. I am more interested in the sustainable existence of such a bizarre system rather than the practical implication atm
