Nano means one billionth. The term 'nanonation' comes from realizing that seven people, the size of a functional team, is one billionth of Earth's current human population.

A nation can be defined as the cultural-context-space being held by a group of three or more people mutually committed to each other while serving a common purpose. Jesus was reported to have explained that wherever two or more people are gathered their common purpose would come to life. We have learned some additional things since then. It actually takes three or more people to start a nanonation.

Why three or more? Because human beings function within an identity-framework they have used since childhood to assure their survival. The identity-framework (called the Box in Possibility Management) is a filter interpreting the world so you can figure out how to survive. The filter asserts its own rightness, even if it is right about you being wrong, or not good enough, a failure, stupid or bad. When two identity frameworks – each one functioning under the survival imperative that they be right – come into conflict, who provides the clarity that the two individuals are simply misidentified as their Boxes? This is the job of the third person.

A superstition is an easy-to-understand concept that has no basis in reality. Believing a superstition blocks the perception of more useful possibilities. But superstitions are not called superstitions until they are recognized as superstitions. Before then they are regarded as the truth.

A superstition that participants in modern culture have not yet identified as a superstition is 'the nation-state.' This superstition became popular as the belief grew “If you get the resources we die, so we will do whatever it takes to get the resources. We will prove that we have the legal right to take the resources by calling ourselves a nation-state, with a flag, a constitution, and a set of laws."

This superstition includes the concept that a nation-state is connected to a piece of land on Earth. Since all the land on Earth has already been claimed by the current 206 nation-states accepted by the United Nations, it is logical to assume that no new nation-states can emerge on Earth.

But the connection between a nation-state and a plot of land is not a law of nature. It is a concept invented in the imaginations of human beings, pure fiction, a story marketed to you by – you guessed it! – the current set of nation-states.

The concept that land on Earth can be owned by either a person or an organization is pure fiction, another superstition, easy to understand, but asserted without basis in reality.

In addition, the laws that declare the legality of individuals or corporations buying and selling land or mineral rights, and the laws declaring that nation-states rule over anyone or anything inhabiting the land they have claimed, are also completely fabricated.

If we were to define a 'false paradigm' as a construct that leads to degraded ecosystems and mass extinction of life on Earth, then the modern rule of law adopted by western civilization is a false paradigm. The modern rule of law is suicidal and ecocidal. Anyone following the rule of law of western civilization is criminally insane. Anyone enforcing the rule of law of western civilization has already forfeited their life.

If the laws of a nation-state are assumed to apply to any person standing on soil claimed to be possessed by that nation-state, then when I set foot on the soil of a different nation-state I would automatically be issued a passport from that nation-state. But this does not occur. I lived beyond the borders of the United States of America for nineteen years yet the laws of the USA still applied to me until 2015 when I exchanged my US passport for that of a different nation-state, Germany.

Anyone who carries a US passport is required by the laws of the USA gameworld to pay taxes to the United States Internal Revenue Service even if they live on foreign soil. This means there is already a precedent for a nation-state existing no matter on which piece of land the bearer of a passport of that nation-state stands. Therefore nation-states are not defined as being associated with pieces of land on Earth.

From the Wikipedia nation-state page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_state: It has been speculated by both proponents of globalization and various speculative fiction writers that the concept of a nation-state may disappear with the ever-increasingly interconnected nature of the world, with governance handled on the local level, based on a global ethic of human [and nature] rights.

At present, every United Nations member nation-state uses hierarchical power structures. Using a hierarchical power structure is a fatal design flaw because a hierarchical power structure automatically selects for psychopaths.

How? In hierarchies, power positions are obtained by those who do whatever it takes to move up the ladder. The persons best suited to do whatever it takes to get power are the 2% of the human population born with no conscience, in other words, with no connection between their mind and their heart, the sociopaths and psychopaths.

This is why petitioning any current global (or local) hierarchy to create a bright future for humanity on Earth produces no positive results. Creating a bright future for humanity is not even on a psychopath's agenda.

In the past fifty years global hierarchies in every sector have been hijacked by psychopaths – religious, financial, political, educational. The psychopathic agenda is to do whatever it takes to stay in control and garner even more power and money to protect their terrified little selves.

Current global systems will not be corrected by reasonable goodwill wisely choosing from outstanding proposals. For example, notice how ineffectively the global systems are responding to the challenges of climate change. The COP meetings have failed. Corrections that would direct climate change back towards liveable conditions on Earth already exist and have been known for decades. Why have they not been enforced?

A designed-in characteristic of representative governments is that your representative does not speak for you; they speak for themselves. Since money is valued in that system, your representative’s voice has already been bought by corporate interests, all the way up to the Supreme Court, the Presidency of the USA, and the United Nations. The only person who can speak for you is you. When you try speaking out in the current system you get pepper-spray in the face and added to the list of state-enemy terrorists.

This is why it is predictable and necessary for Extinction Rebellion to prevail.

It is clearly necessary to be forthwith about the laws and customs of your own nanonation. But they need not be complicated. Your rules of engagement need to be written up in your nanonation's Codex. A simple foundation for regenerative culture could be documented in your Codex something like this:

RULES OF ENGAGEMENT OF THE NANONATION OF POSSIBILICA

(revised 28 December 2018 by Clinton Callahan)

The context of our culture is radical responsibility. Irresponsibility is an illusion. If you see a job to do, it is your job. When you are serving something greater than yourself and you ask for what you want you are asking for what the space wants. We work in circles with spaceholders and context holders, calling decisions through direct access to nonlinear possibility and including the wisdom of resistance. We meet using Torus Technology until everyone knows what to do next. We vigilantly apply our Bill Of Wrongs. There are no employees. There are no absentee landlords. There are no franchises or copyrights or inheritance. We use Archearchy Economics. There is no currency exchange. There is no such thing as profit. If you cannot afford to recycle every plastic bag you make, you cannot afford to make any plastic bags. Manufacturing is cradle-to-cradle. If you cannot carry it with you it is too much to own. Companies are not people because companies cannot take responsibility. There are no company owners or investors. Time is not money; time is time. Money from other nation-states has no value here. We do not need money to survive. We need each other empowered through creative collaboration, which is our currency, and which has no exchange rate with currencies from other nation-states. Land is not owned; it is cared for. Buildings are not owned, they are cared for. Animals, minerals, water and trees are not owned, they are cared for. We are kaitiaki, guardians, stewards. Earth cannot be monetized because we are the Earth. Education does not conform to a curriculum because we don’t know what children need to learn to become themselves for the future. Each child knows for themselves. There aren’t any televisions. Ongoing adulthood initiatory processes drenched in extraordinary and archetypal love are at the core of our gameworld. The rest of our culture – music, clothing, festivals, theater, foods, art, economics, architecture, technology, thoughtware, and ceremonies – falls into place around ongoing authentic transformational adulthood initiations.

Out of these distinctions the entire culture of Possibilica emerges with all the practical details of everyday life. Sourcing a nanonation relocalizes autonomy. It is immensely rewarding.

Even when you leave the circle or the land cared for by your nanonation, you never have to put the bubble of your nanonation’s context away so as to conform to the expectations and assumptions of other people’s conscious or unconscious cultural affectations. When you step outside the confines of your nanonation it is the equivalent of going vagabonding through Southeast Asia. There are many astonishingly weird cultures and beliefs out there. Conversations between citizens of different nation-states become interesting rather than conflicting. They could start something like this: “You may not be aware of this but you are speaking with a person who lives in a different nation-state than you. Do you expect that the laws and customs of my nation-state apply to you? Then don’t expect that the laws and customs of your nation-state apply to me. How are such things handled in your nation-state? Here is how we handle such things in my nation-state…”

It looks like 100 million interdepending nanonations are emerging all over the planet. We are shifting out of capitalist patriarchal empire into transdigenous archearchy where neither the masculine nor feminine dominate, but rather archetypally initiated adult women creatively, adventurously, and lovingly collaborate with archetypally initiated adult men.

Possibilica recognizes that the so-called 'rule-of-law' of the so-called 'modern civilization' (capitalist patriarchal empire) is a failed construct leading directly to planetary suicide and near-term human extinction. Therefore, Possibilica recognizes that anyone continuing to abide by the rule-of-law of modern civilization is criminally insane, and anyone defending the rule-of-law of modern civilization has already forfeited their life.

Therefore, Possibilicans abide by a Bill of Wrongs.

The Bill Of Wrongs Of The Nanonation Of Possibilica

1. Forbids modern civilization’s rule of law.

The Bill Of Wrongs Of The Nanonation Of Possibilica does not pretend to abide by natural law, because natural law can be construed to allow parasites, gangsters, vampires, zombies, ghouls, blackmail, corruption, manipulation, revenge, power over, cancers, disease viruses, survival-of-the-fittest concepts, psychopaths, and acts of God. And if you have ever seen hungry frigate birds snatch up and swallow freshly-hatched baby sea turtles scuttling frantically and defenselessly towards the ocean waves, you know that nature can be construed to allow terrorists too. The Bill Of Wrongs exists in Possibilica out of choosing Radical Responsibility for our Context.

These five factors prove sufficient for successful mutual commitment with another human being:

1. PHYSICALLY: The other person actually does what they say they will do. They keep their promises. This is one definition of 'integrity'. 
2. EMOTIONALLY: The other person can repeat back the feelings they hear you say, and can clearly communicate their own feelings and emotions with you.
3. INTELLECTUALLY: The other person can explain to you the thoughtware and distinctions they use and they do not get too offended when you use the 'vacuum' method of Rapid Learning to dig deeply into thoughtware together.
4. ENERGETICALLY: The other person can shift their behavior when they receive the feedback that what they are doing is not working. This means that the person is consciously on the path of escaping the 8 Prisons, the path of authentic adulthood initiation, and is committed to their own evolutionary process.
5. ARCHETYPALLY: You and the other person agree on which context you use to mutually support each other to become the space through which your Archetypal Lineage provides service to the village. (Context is your relationship to responsibility and consciousness - which level do you agree to choose: no responsibility / child level / adult level / high level / radical responsibility.)

Lacking clarity about any of these 5 factors for mutual commitment suggests that a person is uninitiated. Committing to them may be naïve. That does not mean to avoid committing. You can commit temporarily, for example, as an experiment, to test your intuitions. Being with other people is easier when you can trust yourself to take care of yourself around them. This happens when you yourself are initiated. When you are initiated, it does not matter if the other person is not committed, because you can take care of yourself around them. Nice, eh?

A context is built out of distinctions (such as the distinction between you and your Box, the distinction between low drama and high drama, the distinction between child-level responsibility and radical responsibility, the distinction between feelings and emotions, the distinction between being centered and giving your center away, the distinction between an unconscious Gremlin and an initiated Gremlin, etc.) and determines the characteristics of your gameworld.

When you find that all 5 factors for commitment are valid with someone, you then have a solid chance that your mutual commitment will be ecstatic.

Beginning with at least three people who experience all 5 factors for commitment forms a solid basis for declaring a new nanonation in the global ethnosphere. Harbigarrr!

The professional (r)evolutionary class is creatively implementing strategy and tactics of global transformation with diverse but increasingly networked village-states. These are:

• Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ) such as festivals and fairs.
• Nomadic Autonomous Zones (NAZ) such as roving groups of healers, initiators, performers, or trainers.
• Permanent Autonomous Zones (PAZ) such as intentional communities and ecovillages.

Far more people than you might now imagine are actively living part or all of their lives in temporary, nomadic, or permanent Autonomous Zones. For example, the annual Burning Man TAZ in Nevada is fully booked out at 68,000 people, and the Boom Festival TAZ in Portugal sells out at 43,000 participants. Many additional next-culture festivals now flourish. (See Further Resources below.)

The wish and capacity of mature human beings to create and experience diverse cultural spaces is increasing. Nomadic, Temporary, and Permanent Autonomous Zones already thrive and rapidly expand in diversity, number and duration all over the world. Perhaps your most effective actions for escaping the grips of the capitalist patriarchal empire include stepping with more commitment into your local autonomous zones.

The updated advice from R. Buckminster Fuller rings true: "You never change things by fighting the existing gameworlds. To change things, build new gameworlds that makes the existing gameworlds irrelevant." People together around the world are already doing just this.

Why 100 million? Because from practical experience the maximum number of voices that can be heard in a circle is about sixty. Add in some children to get seventy, then divide seventy into seven billion – the approximate human population of Earth and you get 100 million. (7×10 to the 9th divided by 70 = 1×10 to the 8th = 100,000,000).

Don’t get left behind playing in a stupid gameworld.
