Slightly better data. Most curves are still just an approximation, but the roman, mongol, british, spanish empires now reflect the historical expanse a bit more accurately.
I will keep improving it.

Bitcoin, Nostr, history, sci-fi, FOSS, P2P...
In the future...
Bitcoin will protect our property rights.
Nostr will enable our free speech.
3D print will guarantee our self defense.
But for sovereign individuals to survive and thrive we need to imagine the institutions that will allow us to live in a free, open and voluntary society. Where cooperation and trade are not dictated from above by kings and parliaments, but built bottom up and constantly evolving to fit our needs.
Some authors like Vernor Vinge (The Ungoverned), Neal Stephenson (Snow Crash) or Heinlein (The Moon is a harsh Mistress) have tried to imagine what would replace nation states and governments in a voluntary society.
Others like David Friedman (The Machinery of Freedom), Murray Rothbard or Bruce Benson have theorised.
More have studied what institutions historical stateless or decentralised societies used for conflict resolution and to provide the services that we have come to rely on the state for.
Solutions and ideas are out there. But how to go from idea to reality? How to meme a freer world into existence?
Incomplete and only approximate... but I like the format.
Territorial expanse (M km2).

Great book for 10-12 yr olds.
Although probably very good reading for adults also.

Creo que esto se publicó en 2012 (en español). Sigue siendo muy interesante.
Yo aporté mi granito de arena a la traducción española.

January 3rd 2009.
January 3rd is Proof of keys day.
🗝🔑🗝
Every year on January 3rd bitcoiners are encouraged to move their bitcoins to wallets under their full control. By withdrawing from exchanges and other custodians, fractional reserve, "paper bitcoin", ponzis and other frauds are exposed. This makes Bitcoin stronger by removing weak and dishonest players from the market.
Proof of keys day celebrates Bitcoin as a store of value.
"Not your keys, not your Bitcoin"
"Don't trust, verify."

Top 20 empires by territorial expanse.
25th Century BC to 20th AD.
I like the parallel between WW1 and the Pelopponesian wars. Sparta and Athens exhausted each other in what was basically a Greek Civil War, similar to how Germany, Great Britain and France were decimated by WW1. This allowed an external, but culturally greek Macedon to rise to hegemony... America after WW1.
Of course further parallels start to break down afterwards... post WW2 would be the Hellenistic world, dominated by Macedonian successor states for a couple of centuries until the rise of Rome. I don't see an easy parallel.
I suppose a breakup of Nato or an US Civil war could conceivably lead to the rise of a new power eventually... maybe in South America... but no clear contenders right now.
