Nationality as a Service (NaaS) is the concept of living a life that's primarily online, and is served by technologies that have undergone some sort of curation for a consistent culture. The culturally consistent set of technologies garner more influence, relevance and loyalty to a member, compared to what a geographical government would have historically performed. The concept was floated by the Non-Human Party in 2020 and has since been floated by others, under equivalent names such as the Network State. With the introduction of Google Search in 1996, YouTube in 2005 and Spotify in 2006, believers of the NaaS concept consider Nationality as a Service to be a logical and inevitable progression once the world population acknowledges that their geographical governments are losing relevance, compared to technology. The concept has similarities to seasteading and libertarianism in terms of rejecting incumbent geographical governments, although the Non-Human Party maintains an interest in ecological policies, which cannot be as easily divorced from geography.
