InstaGov is a set of tools for instant self-governance via computer network. It is currently under development. It will be open-source and distributed/federated.

Goals

• to invent functional and productive techniques of stateless (non-hierarchical) democratic self-governance
• to test and demonstrate these techniques starting on a small scale and working progressively upward
• to watch for exploit holes and "gaming" of these implementations, and work out ways to defeat these while they are still small
• to eventually make traditional government both unnecessary and irrelevant
