A New Country: The Great Experiment Called Immortalis
Mark Hamilton is starting a new country called Immortalis: free from a ruling class, governed only by protection services, and built on a constitution that forbids initiatory force. Here's why this experiment could change everything.
Quick answer
What Makes Immortalis Different?
Immortalis is a new country being built by Mark Hamilton, designed to eliminate the ruling class that exists in every nation on Earth. Unlike traditional governments that use force and regulation to control citizens and suppress innovation, Immortalis will have a protection-only government based on mutual value exchange: you pay for protection services, and if they overstep their boundaries, you stop paying and competitors rise up. A constitution forbidding initiatory force prevents politicians and bureaucrats from stealing power from value creators. The result: rapid cures to diseases, exploding prosperity, and freedom from the regulations that strangle innovation today.

What is Immortalis?
Immortalis is a new country being started by Mark Hamilton, designed to be the first nation in human history with no ruling class. It's built on a constitution forbidding initiatory force, a protection-only government, and mutual value exchange between citizens and service providers.
What is a protection-only government?
A protection-only government exists solely to protect citizens from force and fraud: nothing more. It doesn't regulate, control, or suppress. It's a service you pay for. If it oversteps and tries to control beyond protection, you stop paying and competitors rise up to offer better protection services.
How does "dollars do the voting" work?
Instead of political campaigns and elections, you vote with your dollars by paying for the protection service that serves you best. If a protection provider oversteps its boundaries or provides poor service, you stop paying and switch to a competitor. This creates instant accountability and competition, unlike elections where you're stuck with bad leaders for years.
Why did the DuPont cancer cure get stopped?
Mark Hamilton's father worked on a promising cancer cure at DuPont using drug-impregnated textiles that would wrap around tumors and render them harmless. The FDA enforced regulations that made it cost prohibitive even for the world's largest chemical company to continue. The project was dropped: not because of science, but because of government regulation.
What prevents the ruling class from taking over Immortalis?
Immortalis has a constitution that forbids initiatory force: meaning politicians and bureaucrats cannot use force or regulation to steal power from value creators. Combined with the protection-only government model and mutual value exchange, there's no mechanism for a ruling class to rise up and control citizens.
How can I become a citizen of Immortalis?
Immortalis already has over 500 citizens and is growing rapidly. Mark Hamilton invites people to get involved early, understand the foundation of Immortalis, and imagine what life could be like free from a ruling class.
