i had a similar idea,
   
Bitrustica - The new virtual democratic country that governs bitcoin

lol, I do live believe me .

I was thinking from a creating internetland as a "base" from which all movements from a socity standpoint can take shape, being voted on in a true democratic way, if amazon want to sell there warez in internet land, they accept internetcoins and agree to be bound by ours laws. If wikileaks want to accept internetcoins as donations, the same. Shift the way society works so the internet helps to keep it safe and true.

Ramblings of a madman I know

We don't need Internetland, we play it already live !

Guess it is quite simliar - but I was thinking of mine more on a split out the internet from real life, in a way that avoided the need for fiat whilst on task for "internet land", in a way that avoided the some of the pit falls that have gotten society to where it is now.

Imagine, just for signing to a website and mining some coins a big enough pop could be generated to really make a impact in things that mattered to us "the people"..... dam it, thats rather like devcoins still aint it...

  I thought I was onto something then, ah well - next idea......

Ok,

So since I started to have a slight grasp on how awesome bitcoin and the blockchain is, I've started to mull over an idea, and not knowing enough to verify if its possible/doable/worthwhile (I'm more an ideas and solutions man, than an implement it man), so I'm just going to throw this out there.....

General Idea:-

Imagine, a new website, we'll call it "internetland" - me, being the founder, create my own new currency the "internetcoins" and run a new client (highly modded) on my server and what not.

People could sign up to be a national of "internetland" - agreeing to abide by the rules of the people and the blockchain.

People would get 1 wallet on a website with the world BEST security - that would form there "digital self" and thus must be kept secure, maybe even enforce brain wallets.

People could cast votes in a way democracy has never seen before by sending transactions
Accept internetcoins on there websites to trade for goods, being able to trade those internetcoins for other people on other websites.
Stocks and shares, and physical "old world" items can have there owners verified.
Vote upon laws being passed

A real democratic society that exists purely on the internet - surely that can done? What am I missing?

Mining:-

Internet coins are mined and say 95% go to miners, and 5% go to internetland (its not as bad as that sounds trust me lol).

the 5% taken by internet land we'll call "taxes" - taxes could help to pay to help for development of internet land (again all decided by vote), problems that need attention in the real, disaster aid, protests, legal etc - a virtual nation funded by the peoples will and desire to.... leave there computer on a lot .....

but no seriously...

What do you think about my idea for a ciphercyber-nation? Is that even possible? Could it work if it was?



So that would
