Once our website application is live, you'll be able to register Your Nation on BITNATION using the final version of the application form. After registering, you'll gain access to technical resources to create Your Nation, including DVBN code to run Your Nation on the Ethereum blockchain, tutorials on setting up your nation and access to a community of Nation Founders and developers, among other goodies. We understand that Nations evolve. We will ensure that once you've created Your Nation's profile on BITNATION you'll be able to modify the information you've entered as your ideas develop and you learn more about Your Nation and its citizens needs. When our Pangea software reaches Beta stage, you'll be able to transfer Your Nation onto the Pangea "Blockchain Jurisdiction", a DIY Governance Client that will enable you to operationalise Your Nation on a smart contract powered, peer to peer and end to end encrypted platform.
