Tim Draper pitches Draper Nation, a digital country with no land or borders that works like a subscription service. He argues digital nations reduce conflict and let people hold multiple citizenships based on what they want to pay for.

So the idea of digital nation is a new concept, and you have to think about it from a new construct and not try to identify it with what exists today. So the physical countries that we're used to have a lot of benefits, but they also have a lot of downsides. When you have physical borders and land, it causes wars, it causes a lot of conflict. In a digital world, there are no borders. There is no land. There is no physical boundaries. So it will bring down a lot of conflict in the world. I think a digital nation, like Draper Nation, is a solution to the world's conflicts because there's no land. So So I think it'll bring a lot more peace and harmony in the world. It's not a mutually exclusive country. It doesn't have to be one or the other. I think we believe in the future there's going to be thousands of digital countries. Similar to how you pick your telco or your car insurance, whoever provides the best service at the best price is something that you subscribe to. So in the future, I think people will be citizens of many countries and not just one.
