 if i were to propose what i think would work as a government system it would be based on the UTXOs you control

you cast votes based on those utxo secret keys and it would be impossible to cheat it

since the money represents 50% of the economy, the stack you have reflects your power in the economy to move it to a different configuration, and this is more important than any other subjective value that would ultimately be denominated by its proportion of the total amount of sats held by people in that space

the only thing that would be required to make it work is a proof of geographical location with a zero knowledge proof, to protect your actual location... that's the hard part of how it would work... you could then make proposals that map over a geography arbitrarily and those who have claims in those zones would have the right to decide on ratifying them

i'm sure that this is much what will eventually come to be but it will take time for the need of it to become clear i think
