@brianoflondon & I actually live in a country that was (re)created by an idea and a group of people (many still alive) who fought to achieve it against the greatest of odds and at huge cost. Indeed it is considered by many to be miracle.
You have no idea what it takes to achieve sovereignty - it is extremely difficult and rarely comes without great bloodshed.
Neither Hive nor any other crypto project has even a fraction of the attributes of a sovereign entity.
If a crypto city-state pops up it will likely be very quickly crushed by whatever country's territory it pops up in.
