The year is 2048. Blockchains have formed network states which have supplanted nation states. — Dan, leader of Keats, runs Venice (CA) and parts of Kings County, NY. Keats accepts any global currency and is the easiest network state in which to transact. However, Coindia and what’s left of the USA (now known as "Middle America") threatens Keats' borders daily on the Brooklyn front. Keats would've been a larger, more powerful state, but the opportunities for new network states were constant and led to fragmentation. — Jesse is the elected leader of Day One, a nation-state comprised of the Philippines, Nigeria, and Vietnam, despite them being "ungovernable". Day One accepts any currency, but it must be exchanged at their borders to Day One equivalents. There is no Day Two. — The rest of New York, along with the rest of LA and Miami-Dade, is owned by Coinbase. This state, Coindia, perpetually threatens the existence of both Keats and Day One. Everything is currency. — Solanaland owns the most territory but nearly has the lowest GDP. They're second only to World who, despite its name, doesn't actually run the Earth. Constant revolutions from the Pumpfundamentalists have kept them from growing. — A Bitcoin-denominated DAO runs modern day Central America, which is now an island since El Salvador constructed the NoCA Canal in conjunction with Honduras. Fully funded by BTC. Decentral America is well-funded and well-armed. — Tempo runs a self-named megalopolis stretching from the Bay Area to Vancouver. Tempo is stable, with no known enemies. At least not since the Great Fiat War of 2036. — The majority of humans hold Poly passports. Bitcoin and a variety of stables are official currencies. There was a peaceful transition of power from Shayne Coplan to Tim Henson.
