[pp.int.general] The Pirate Micronation

[Ryan Martin]

I'm thinking more of a supplemental membership.  I envision a statement of
the law and culture of the pirate nation, and a symbol to declare any space
to inhabit the physical nation that it inhabits as well as the pirate nation
that it also inhabits.  In the pirate nation, for example, access to the
internet is a natural right.
Eventually, if a physical space could be built or founded, there would
already be an infrastructure to put into place for governance.  This would
also allow pirate party aligned spaces, coops, and groups to indicate their
support as well as adherence to the PP core ideals.

Eventually I would like to see physical embassies that operate like clubs
for anyone with pirate nation citizenship (possibly with a monthly cost) and
provide managed shared space for hackerspaces, infoshops, food not bombs
chapters, and any other aligned org that suffers from underrepresentation
from their geographic governance.

And so on.
