1/ I’ve escaped two dictatorships – one by protest, the other by war. Belarus, then Ukraine. Now in Lisbon, figuring out what “home” means. So I host salons & build experiments about Network-Society futures.

Year 2 of my 7-year sovereignty glitch: customs stamps “DENIED,” I ship new user stories. How do you build a borderless nation on legacy passports? Field notes inside ➡ https://embassy.svit.la/p/field-notes-network-state /network-states /sovereign /governance

« In the last year alone: London meetups, Lisbon world cafés, Berlin civil-hacker speeches, deep-dive interviews in Dubai. I thought I was building a community around an idea; turns out I was erecting a lighthouse for a global diaspora. » - @ray-svitla https://embassy.svit.la/p/field-notes-network-state

supposed to be sipping espresso on the Dalmatian coast. Instead, Lisboa again. Belarusian passport strikes (denied) for the 3rd time in 6 months. Had to prove I’m not a f***ing terrorist, re-book flights, watch euros evaporate...that’s why I started 404Embassy New pod w/ Kimberly Adams (Onchain City) She’s shipping the exit watch / listen: https://embassy.svit.la/p/kimberly-adams-from-dead-capital-to-liquid-nation /network-states /digitalidentity

the first version of the Atlas has just 42 projects so far so I set up a simple form on GitHub to make it easier to submit new ones and keep the whole thing transparent if you’re building something in this space – or know a project that definitely needs to be in there: 1/ follow the link 2/ click the “New Issue” icon 3/ hit the “Suggest a New Entity for the Atlas” button just like in the screenshot! link: https://github.com/raysvitla/404-embassy-atlas/issues

the /network-states space is a beautiful mess. to make sense of it, I built a map. today, I’m open-sourcing the 404 Embassy Atlas v1.0 🗺️ It's a live, data-driven look at who's actually building new nations, DAOs, and charter cities. first signals are in: > the "startup" model is winning. > the ecosystem is flying blind with no "how-to" guides. live map & full analysis below. what did I miss? https://embassy.svit.la/p/network-state-atlas

ever tried explaining "Network Society" to someone outside our bubble? my results: > "is that a new crypto?" > "tax haven for HWI?" >👽 (DJ with 146 BPM) dropping a deep-dive on Thursday /network-states /networkcities

TL;DR – I’m free for a fractional CMO / research gig (15–20 h/week). If your feed is full of Web3, digital-citizen, or nomad-city projects, tag a founder. I built: • 6 research papers → 9 big-name clients • WAKA app → 100 K users with creator revenue share • 7 salons on network societies from London to Berlin, Lisbon to Dubai Slides, résumé, call-slots → svit.la Warm intros = dinner on me next time we meet 🐌 Not married to titles – Product, Strategy, Community? Reply here and I’ll DM my latest one-pager. /regen /network-states

6/ If you’re building something sovereign-ish – protocol, city, or collective I’d love to jam. DMs open. Or find me in Lisbon. Stay evolving 🐌
