Nation

A North Star metric is paramount since it aligns everyone in the nation towards a particular, measurable goal.

Everything we do should then be aligned with such metric. While we already have the Nation3 Manifesto establishing the vision and the moral compass, a manifesto isn’t measurable per se.

This proposal aims for Nation3 to adopt the following North Star metrics:

• Number of active citizens: The ethos of the Nation3 Manifesto is that we need to re-imagine nation states so people can enjoy increased freedom, wealth and fairness. In order to deliver on such vision, we need to onboard as citizens the people who need Nation3 the most. But at this early stage we need to prioritize citizens who can be valuable stakeholders in building Nation3. Active citizens can be defined as having a minimum NationCred score over a period of time. More citizens means more locked $NATION, thus providing further funding to the Nation3 DAO.
• Total value secured by the Nation3 jurisdiction: An emergent way to frame Nation3’s first core service (apart from citizenship itself) is as a system of law/decentralized jurisdiction. As we make the Nation3 jurisdiction enticing for individuals and other entities to securely conduct business transactions, we are creating a cloud nation with a strong internal economy and also providing extra reasons for people to become citizens. The collateral for agreements secured by the Nation3 jurisdiction is $NATION, so this also helps fund the Nation3 DAO.

Although these North Star metrics can be amended in future proposals, it’s extremely important to start off with the right alignment.

This is the pull request on the governance repo with the actual proclamation statement as follows:

Nation3 should adopt the following North Star metrics: 1) Number of active citizens, and 2) Total value secured by the Nation3 jurisdiction. Everything the Nation3 DAO does should be aligned with increasing such metrics.
