Today I want to share with you an idea that has been going around in my head all week: to create a “nation” on a server mounted on a stratospheric balloon.
Technically it is possible to do it using current techniques and materials, and it is relatively quick to finance and build.
The “only” problem I see is the Chinese government using their anti-satellite missiles and shooting down the balloon.
This is not the first time an attempt has been made to create a nation on the internet, or on a cryptocurrency network.
What do you guys think?

MoneroSpace aims to build a decentralized censorship-resistant satellite communication network through open-source hardware and encryption protocols, achieving:
- Global Ubiquitous Access: Providing Monero transaction channels for regions without terrestrial networks (e.g., oceans, polar areas) and censored zones (e.g., Iran, Syria).
- Physical-Layer Censorship Resistance: Bypassing internet blockades with low-earth orbit (LEO) satellites to ensure independent transaction broadcasting.
- Community-Driven Ecosystem: Open-sourcing satellite hardware designs and communication protocols to enable third-party node deployment.
I had never read about that project, but DeepSeek has told me about a quite similar project, I guess that was it.
I’ve been using DeepSeek for guidance on how to get this crazy idea I have up and running.
My idea is to mount a small server on a stratospheric balloon, launch it, and claim sovereign airspace above 30 km altitude.
In theory, using the 1933 Montevideo Convention, the 1944 ICAO Chicago Convention, and the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, a real nation could be formed.
Another thing is that we are not taken seriously.

I don’t really believe in nations so I can’t comment on it. However, I like the idea for its creative potential and I think you should try it.
