Yes, founded in 2014. Skeptical about the virtue and value of international interventionism, Bitnation’s Founder Susanne Tarkowski Tempelhof, begin work in October 2012 on designing and advocating peer-to-peer governance solutions. Her first public talk on decentralized, competitive governance was in TEDx Gothenburg (Sweden), that same month, and days afterwards she signed a book deal to write about the idea that became Bitnation, which she then called The Googlement.

To research the book she spent eighteen months travelling throughout the world, visiting and speaking about self-governing communities, from private cities in Honduras and the Dominican Republic to shanty towns in Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, and on to anarchist and crypto startups in Berlin, the Czech Republic and Switzerland and Libertarian communities in Chile, Guatemala and Sweden. As the decentralized tech of Bitcoin, blockchain, and Ethereum technologies matured, it quickly became clear to her that the Bitnation vision was far from utopian, and could be realized much sooner and to a significantly lower cost than initially thought.
