You've got onion on your breath.

Just make sure it doesn't turn into another Jamestown situation.

Which is why you have a judiciary and constitution outlining protections.

So maybe we should switch to systems that represent everyone equally, with equal and fair democratic representation, so that when evil inevitably arises it can be squashed.

The population is subsidizing you. Everybody subsidizes everyone. That's how society works.

UBI raises everyone's standard of living, both in practice and in theory.

Few companies will migrate to the U.S., as it's wholey a disadvantage at this point.

The U.S. is unstable, is actively isolating itself from global markets, requires higher wages, and is run by a psychopath with a cult following.

Everything about it makes it bad for business, so business that can afford to are going to bail and stick with actually sensible countries.

This is an implosion.

Java is inherently cross platform, and works well on linux. So assuming the phone is powerful enough, you should be good to go even if it's linux.

Definitely worth checking out Minetest/Luanti though, it has promise.

I've got old phones that I've been considering for this use.

They both still work, minus the cellular data. So I'm having a tough time deciding between making my actual phone squeaky clean, or using the old ones have making it a bitch to get home from the airport with no internet to call an uber/friend/deal with airline shenanigans.

If your state concept is broad enough to entail any organization of a certain size, be my gast in a council republic

It's somewhere along the lines of "any organization that handles the administrative work and protection for a given territory".

And I don't think that's all that broad of a definition, and it includes your world wide net of councils as a state.

Importantly, you didn't answer the second question:

What would prevent centralization of power?

That's state welfare/insurance, not socialism.
