Your Context is your Nanonation's relationship to Consciousness and Responsibility. For example, the context of modern culture promotes externalizing costs to the environment, future generations, and society at large, in other words, to do everything you can to avoid responsibility. In contrast with this, the nomadic Nanonation of Possibilica has a context of Radical Responsibility.

Edgeworkers often make a big mistake by ignoring the Context question. They think, "Hey, I want to start a community! Anybody else want to start a community with me?" Then they end up with a group of twenty or so enthusiastic partners. There are the activists, the anarchists, the home-schoolers, the freeschoolers, the unschoolers, the Sociocracy 3.0 experts, the Holocracy experts, the Torus Technology experts, the Buddhists, the fundamental Christians, the atheists, the Earthship fanatics, the straw bale fanatics, the vegetarians, the vegans, the tantric yoga practitioners, and the people from Mensa, each with their own Context. When the team meets, each faction of course wants to bring in their own Context with their own needs and project visions because they believe their Context the best thing humanity ever invented, and they love it the most. The result of these meetings is Context War. In this case it is very difficult to make decisions that make people happy, and people often complain of sensing a lack of community.

SIDE NOTE: If you think that 'community' is the purpose of your project, then at your very first meeting your Purpose is achieved and your project is over. The rest of the time you all sit together arguing around what kind of retirement home makes your Box and Gremlin most comfortable.

Instead of looking for a lot of people with the same purpose, e.g., to create a community, look for two or three people with the same Context. Then when your small Core Team meets, work to clarify and deepen that Context together. Clarify the Distinctions. Experiment with the Practices. Deepening your Nanonation Context creates a gravity-well or an attraction-field of Necessity that other people can detect who are longing to co-create within the same Context as you. They will gradually find you. Then when you meet, the Necessity itself generates projects within the shared Context. The result is that at the end of each meeting everyone knows what to do, decisions are almost effortless, and people share a deep of camaraderie and alignment. Many large successful nanonations were started with a core team of three people, such as Zegg, Findhorn, and Tamera. Committing to other Team members is a difficult decision to make. There are 5 factors that you can look for to help you assess if you should commit to someone or not. Take a look a the 5 Factors for Commitment section below for some useful hints.

Upgrading your thoughtware is central to becoming you. You carry a burden of ancient, cross-purposed, and outdated thoughtware from being born in a capitalist patriarchal empire the late 20th and early 21st Century. Upgrading your thoughtware involves authentic adulthood initiatory processes during which time you will escape from the 8 Prisons so that you can start over. We recommend Possibilitator Training: an Expand The Box training and 10 Possibility Labs. It's a three or four year commitment to your future, and you do it in the company of a global tribe of Possibilitators. Together we are inventing and inhabiting next culture together: Archiarchy.

We recommend a circular or toroidal power structure and a decision-making process that amplifies group intelligence by changing conflicts into Possibility, and consulting the wisdom of resistance. You can practice these by participating in Open Space Technology, Sociocracy 3.0, or most particularly in Torus Technology meetings.

Remember, the point is to exit the capitalist patriarchal empire and Cavitate New Culture Space for Archiarchy in which your Nanonation can thrive. If already existing Constitutions worked then you could use them as model... but capitalism, patriarchy, and empire are three globally suicidal paradigms. This means you get to start over. There are very few Archiarchal constitutions to model on, so feel into it with your team. Get in a hot tub together, hike to the top of the mountain and meditate on a large stone for awhile, sit in the desert fasting for three days and see what vision comes to you, then write it down. Writing it down on paper is an alchemically transformative action. If you don't write it down, it doesn't exist. Keep it short and simple. Then share it with the world, keeping one ear open for feedback, and your Energetic Sword out so you are not collapsed by other people's fear about the appropriate trouble you are causing.

What is allowed is whatever is not on the Bill Of Wrongs. This is the opposite strategy of what has been used by the capitalist patriarchal empire countries. Patriarchy hires lawyers to defend people and corporations doing wrong things ('wrong' is defined here as anything non-regenerative, or non-cradle-to-cradle, or threatening the extinction of species) saying that what they are doing is within their so-called 'rights'. By using a 'Bill Of Wrongs' instead of a 'Bill Of Rights', whole classes of behaviors are explicitly forbidden with only a few words.

The British came to India and planted their flag and said, "We claim this territory in the name of the Queen of England."

The locals said, "What!?! Are you idiots?!? People have been living here for thousands of years!"

The British said, "Oh, yeah? Where's your flag?"

Don't be caught without a flag.

Make it colorful, simple, and symbolically powerful, but make it. Then fly it boldly.

Your Codex is the collection of your Rules of Engagement, in other words, specifically how to play in your gameworld.

By the way, you don't have to worry about specifying a formal procedure for entering your gameworld. The answer to the question, "Can I be a member of your nanonation?" is simple. The answer is, "No."

Can people contribute to your gameworld? Yes, of course, in many ways. As they collaborate with you the gameworld itself will decide whether it needs them or not. Let the gameworld decide, like an amoeba decides what it wants to eat by engulfing something or rejecting it.

When a person is taken in by your gameworld it will be automatically clear that they belong there. Do be clear how to have someone leave. Do not place your Codex at the center of your gameworld. That is where your values or Bright Principles belong. Put your Codex over on a shelf as more like guidelines, if you know what I mean - something that can be consulted when needed. But keep them up to date and accurate, and visible to the outside world. Someone wanting to play in your gameworld would want to know how the game goes first.

Archiarchal Economics is simple to understand. The ones at the bottom of the economic gravity-well have the Authority to assure that resources are not hoarded at the top but instead flow through every bank account in the economic ecosystem. This is similar to the 'Subak' system used in Bali, where the rice-terrace caretakers at the bottom of the mountain assure that the water is not hoarded at the top of the mountain, but instead flows through every rice field on the mountain at the right time because this insures the best outcome for the whole Village.

Build a website with your nanonation's name, your flag, your Constitution, and your Codex. Put in lots of photos of your costumes, healing remedies, favorite food dishes, music instruments and festivals, the technopenuriaphobia handicrafts that you can teach people, sustainable and regenerative architecture, authentic adulthood initiatory processes you deliver in trainings, the kinds of animals and solar powered vehicles and inner and outer permaculture techniques you use. Your website is a doorway for people to learn the latest news of your connections with other nanonations and all the legend making actions of which they can be a part.
