PRAXIS: THE WORLD’S FIRST DIGITAL NATION IN GREENLAND
The next nation-state might not be born from a revolution, but from a venture capital round.
Welcome to Praxis, Peter Thiel’s blueprint for turning Greenland into the first technocratic enclave of the 21st century.
Silicon Valley is tired of asking for permission. Figures like Thiel and Andreessen view modern democracy as an obsolete system that stifles innovation.
Praxis is their prototype for a "City-State" engineered specifically for the tech elite.
Why Greenland?
It’s more than just open space. The massive heat generated by AI superclusters requires the Arctic cold for efficiency.
Praxis seeks to merge territorial sovereignty with data center optimization—a nation that runs like an operating system.
The approach is purely technocratic: replacing politics, which relies on consensus and debate, with engineering, which focuses on results and optimization.
In Praxis, laws aren't argued; they are programmed via smart contracts and code.
The power connection is absolute. With Ken Howery—a Thiel partner—on the diplomatic board, the Trump administration’s interest in Greenland isn't real estate; it’s strategy. They are eyeing a "Special Economic Zone" outside Danish control.
Praxis champions the "Network State" concept: a community that organizes online before purchasing land to materialize.
It represents the ultimate privatization of sovereignty, where the citizen functions primarily as a user or shareholder.
The risk is clear: the creation of a utopia for the few that ignores Greenland’s local reality.
A glass technocracy in the middle of the ice, extracting critical minerals and processing data while the rest of the world grapples with traditional bureaucracy.
Tech oligarchs will begin to draw their own borders.
Praxis in Greenland is the ultimate experiment.
If code is law, who holds the power to press "Reset"?
