A SPECIAL NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER DANIEL
“We started our own Communities.
We started our own Companies.
We started our own Currencies.
Let’s start our own Countries.”
Malta, 24th December, 2021
The world has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the proliferation of technology and the internet fundamentally altering the way we live and work.
The internet has connected people from all corners of the globe, turning the world into a global market where goods and services can be exchanged across borders with ease. Remote work has become increasingly common, and businesses can now tap into a global talent pool.
However, despite these changes, our systems and infrastructure have not kept pace with the new reality. The world is still built along national borders, with different laws, regulations, and systems in place in each country.
Crossing these borders can still be a difficult and time-consuming process, and many decisions are still made based on where someone was born, rather than their qualifications or skills. This creates barriers to opportunity and can limit people’s potential, preventing them from reaching their full potential.
Given this disconnect between the rapidly evolving world and our outdated systems, it is clear that we need new solutions to address these challenges.
One such solution is the concept of Network States, which aims to create a new form of governance that is better suited to the digital age.
CoCoHub is the first Network State for Digital Nomads: A decentralized, borderless community that provides its members with a range of benefits, including access to a global network of coliving spaces, a platform for collaboration and connection, and a sense of community and belonging.
Together, we can create a more inclusive, equitable, and borderless world that is better suited to the digital age without borders.
Join CoCoHub, and be a part of Humanity 2.0 changing the world we live in.
NETWORK STATE CONSTITUTION
Empire State of Mind – December 24, 2021, Malta
This draft is a merge of five past as well as future constitutions, forked into one Network State Constitution. Not common in designing constitutions, but rather successful in open-source software development.

PREAMBLE
We are sovereign. We are united. We are the future. We are the Birth of a New Age. We are The Future for Our World and Humanity.
Some might think of us as radical outliers, as extremists on the fringes of society, a bunch of weirdos. Think again. We come from all generations and social strata.
We are students, teachers, doctors, engineers, lawyers, software developers, traders, marketers, entrepreneurs, and professors, even politicians, and diplomats.
We are your neighbours, your co-workers, your drinking buddies. We are both youth and experience. We are all that make up the fabric of the societies we live in.
We are one of you, but the ones that have become aware of our political autonomy and wish to reclaim our sovereignty. And we toil, every single day, to build a world without fear of coercion, where everyone is at liberty to be whoever they wish, and to choose whichever governance services they desire.
Piece by piece, we build our infrastructure, one line of code, one meetup, one new coliving, one piece of documentation at the time. Together, we are laying the foundations for a world in which we can be self-sovereign in peace and preservation.

SOVEREIGNTY
The principle of any sovereignty resides essentially in every one of us. Nobody, no individual may exercise any authority which does not proceed directly from the constitution and thus the humans’ consent.
Although we refuse to allow any supranational entity, territorial government, individual, artificial created consciousness, to take our sovereignty without our consent, nor accept any universal agreement amongst ourselves on how we should, or should not, live our lives, we still seek cooperation with one another.
We depend on our reputation in temporary territorial host countries. Therefore we respect the manifold of the host states’ culture and do not violate the laws and rules of our hosts.
We represent the future of humanity, which necessitates the best manners and behaviours, namely Courage, Temperance, Liberality, Magnificence, Generosity, Ambition, Patience, Friendliness, Truthfulness, Modesty and Justice.

UNITY
No one shall be held in physical or psychological slavery or servitude, especially in regards to the power of artificially generated consciousness or the use of technology against humanity.
We are coming in peace, unity and restrain ourselves from any form of physical or psychological interference or warfare.
