Nearly a quarter a millennium ago a new nation was created, conceived in Liberty. The idea was that the government would be of the people, by the people, and for the people. The founders went about implementing those ideas as best they could, with the tools they had at the time.

Now, suppose certain evils become insufferable, and a nation finds itself in such a way today. How do you go about organizing a government that best represents the people?

Today our means of communication and interaction are vastly more powerful than before. The internet provides the medium for a true government of people. Just add culture.

The short story The Last Question by Isaac Asimov follows a machine intelligence called multivac through eons of existence all the way to the end of time.

In the end there is an answer, but it’s much bigger than the question asked.
