I checked out Bitnation on Youtube and other media channels and I was surprised this has been around for so many years. I haven't heard a single word about it until recently. It sounds like a very interesting approach to borderless nations and I am curious how the main sale will go. I think the community should support endeavors like yours.
Yes, founded in 2014. Skeptical about the virtue and value of international interventionism, Bitnation’s Founder Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof, begin work in October 2012 on designing and advocating peer-to-peer governance solutions. Her first public talk on decentralized, competitive governance was in TEDx Gothenburg (Sweden), that same month, and days afterwards she signed a book deal to write about the idea that became Bitnation, which she then called The Googlement.
To research the book she spent eighteen months travelling throughout the world, visiting and speaking about self-governing communities, from private cities in Honduras and the Dominican Republic to shanty towns in Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, and on to anarchist and crypto startups in Berlin, the Czech Republic and Switzerland and Libertarian communities in Chile, Guatemala and Sweden. As the decentralized tech of Bitcoin, blockchain, and Ethereum technologies matured, it quickly became clear to her that the Bitnation vision was far from utopian, and could be realized much sooner and to a significantly lower cost than initially thought.
I will definitely keep an eye on this and spend more time on thinking about the idea itself. It is a very challenging concept in regards to our global status quo. That makes it an outstanding project compared to others, at least on paper for now.

Those are all good news and interesting info. Do you expect a strong run on your ICO tokens or does that remain to be seen once the ICO starts? Do you have large pre-ICO requests that you can talk about?
DrearyUrbanite,
We have had strong reviews and a lot of purchaser interest including substantial pre ICO requests. We cannot provide any more detail at this time.
