Network States

I’m a fan of the network-state concept as much as the next guy here but how many people realize that no state will survive more than a few generations without the ability to physically defend itself? I’ve seen nobody talk about the need for a citizen-army or defense pacts with empires

100% agreed. Nation states are the dominant power structure now because they are the ones “allowed” to exert their dominion through violence. Network states will somehow need similar power.
