Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin initiated a discussion on Warpcast about long-term network state nodes (i.e., permanent communities, not temporary gatherings), and asked participants what features they would like such nodes to have. User millie-x proposed the idea of establishing a sovereign/independent legal system and judiciary, to which Vitalik responded by asking how such a legal system would improve the lives of people living within the network state nodes.
