No. At some point, countries become too small.

In our looming dystopia, you won't be a citizen of countries. You'll be a citizen of mega corps.

We're just in the formative stages right now. For cloud, I'm a dual citizen of AWS and DigitalOcean. For personal compute, solidly an Apple citizen.

For entertainment, a hybrid of Netflix-Amazon-Apple-Disney.
