Yes, but it's a half-baked step.

Probably it's time to rethink what a nation means.

At least I got a vision, citizenship is like being a member of an association.

Currently, citizenship is very restricted, but I hope for a more open world, where citizenship is a lot more fluent than today. Of course many protections are neccessary which are implicit in citizenship. That's why I wrote about human rights and corporate organisations. I imagine an automatic membership bound to residency and what is citizenship today turns into membership to some cultural association.

And customers become members of their corporate entity and thus gain many rights we don't have today. That's why I said, corporate entities turn into countries.

Perhaps in about a hundred years if our civilization is still thriving at least somewhat?

In this future you will have different factions living under the same territory, each belonging to a different "corporate entity". Usually in human history anytime this happened we either joined forces of different factions into a "nation" sharing a common territory or all-out civil war broke out.

Removing the concept of nation to become a scattered technotribalism doesn't make sense, we need to go up a level where the whole concept of separating individuals by nations start to dissolve and we all share a common culture of being humans. For that the first barrier is language, without a common way to communicate between ourselves it's pretty hard to see the other as similar to you.

What you advocate for is going back to tribalism.
