* The Startup States Society https://t.co/PTlbzROYrA = "A Geneva-based institute advancing lawful, treaty-first new country formation under public international law." "Where countries are built like startups, and startups become countries." "The Startup States Society is a Geneva-based think tank and policy institute, constituted as a Verein under Swiss law, dedicated to the research, study, and promulgation of peaceful de novo statehood. We advance the proposition that new countries can be built with the rigour of a startup: through negotiated treaty, constitutional clarity, and mutual benefit between founders and host nations. Our work exists at the intersection of international law, governance innovation, and diplomatic strategy. We provide legal frameworks, policy research, and strategic counsel to credible founders, investors, and host governments navigating the emerging field of new country formation. Startup States do not undermine existing countries. They complement the international order, offering voluntary, opt-in alternatives grounded in consent, clarity, and competence."
