Order
#036 · Toronto, Canada · founded by Jordan Peterson
“Clean your room first.”
Citizens take responsibility before claiming rights. Every speech is preceded by ten weeks of preparation. The polity values competence and tradition.

🇨🇦Toronto, Canada
Toronto, Canada is the natural anchor for this polity given the founder's existing center of gravity. A citizen campus there with shared housing, a kitchen aligned to the way of life, and the rituals of the community made physical.
The moral case.
Jordan Peterson has the social capital, the ideological clarity, and the audience to do this. The polity is the missing institutional form for what they are already living publicly.
From idea to polity.
- 01Anchor a citizen campus in Toronto, Canada
- 02Open citizenship to the existing community of followers, students, or readers
- 03Charter the polity around the One Commandment as a published constitution
- 04Charter a treasury aligned with the values of the polity
- 05Apply for member-state status with Interneta after 500 ratified citizens
Why I sent you this link.
I have lived at Network School for over a year. I have watched the network state thesis go from a book to a real, lived experiment. I have seen Balaji put it to work, and I have seen what is missing.
The missing piece is a federation. A meta-layer that gives every distinct community a constitutional home, a shared census, an interoperable passport, an anthem, and a way to recognize each other as legitimate.
That is what Interneta is. The United States of Interneta. The optimistic meta-layer for network states.
Order is what I think you would build, if you decided to build one. The One Commandment is what I have inferred from your public work. The site scout, the next steps, the citizenry: all educated guesses. They are wrong wherever you say so.
If any of this lands, I would love a fifteen-minute conversation. If none of it lands, I would still love your reply telling me where I missed.
