## Resource

New @greenpillnet pod out today! 🌐 In this episode of the Network Nations mini-series, Primavera De Filippi is joined by Jessy Kate Schingler, co-founder of the Embassy Network, to explore how intentional communities and new jurisdictions can give Network Nations real-world grounding. Jessy shares lessons from over a decade of building translocal co-living communities, explains why the Embassy Network thought of its spaces as "embassies to the future," and how identity, culture, and entanglement emerge without formal membership rules. The conversation then turns to jurisdictional innovation, including Gelephu Mindfulness City in Bhutan, and how special administrative regions, charter cities, and regulatory sandboxes could act as physical anchor points for Network Nations. A rich discussion on culture, identity, subsidiarity, functional sovereignty, and how digital communities might interface with states without losing their values. 🌱 greenpill.network 🌐 networknations.network 🐦 @owocki @greenpillnet https://x.com/yaoeo https://x.com/jessykate ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 – Can Network Nations become political actors without land? 01:10 – Intentional communities vs new jurisdictions 02:25 – Introducing Jessy Kate Schingler (Embassy Network) 03:20 – What intentional communities look like today 04:45 – The origin of the Embassy Network 05:40 – "Embassies to the future" where the name came from 06:45 – Membership, curation & why formal rules failed 08:15 – Sister communities & translocal identity 09:30 – Cultural, financial & people-based entanglement 11:40 – Cultural transfusion as the strongest glue 13:00 – Financial support between community nodes 14:20 – Identity through shared people & movement 16:20 – Drift: experiments with shared currencies & mobility 18:05 – Private law vs…
