The return of sovereign vision — how Christians can build new nations on desert islands and at sea
A serious call for Christians to found new nations on land and sea — not in the cloud with DAOs and network states
Exit is not enough. We need entrance — into a new civilizational calling. Not a Benedict Option but a Winthrop Option. A Madoc Option. A Sinclair Option. A Saint Brendan Option.
To quote the WEF Globalists, Build Back Better.
The land is there. The vision is there. The question is whether we will build.
We were not made for managerialism.
Not for stakeholder governance, endless bureaucracy, or polite global decay.
Not for secular NGOs and digital identities, nor for content moderation and three-minute TikTok sermons.
We were made for something older, higher, and more binding.
We were made to live under banners that meant something.

I. A World Without Vision
Modern life is a slow suffocation. Our politics are dry processions of lawyers and lobbyists. Our cities sprawl without memory. Even our churches — where they still exist — often offer self-help, not salvation.
Most people feel it. They sense that we’ve reached a dead end — that something is missing.
But few can name what was lost.
The answer is not simply faith. It is form.
Not only belief, but structure.
The old Christian world did not just worship rightly — it built rightly. Kingdoms, cathedrals, constitutions, calendars. It formed real peoples from myth, memory, and sacred law. Sovereignty was not a corporate job. It was a vocation of covenant and command.

II. The False Alternatives
Today, some propose digital escape.
Build a chatroom. Mint a coin. Form a Network State.
Others call for slow withdrawal. Hide. Hope. Homeschool. Wait.
But Christian sovereignty is not built in the cloud.
A nation is not a Discord server.
It is a people, bound by place, memory, and duty.
Exit is not enough.
We need entrance — into a new civilizational calling.
Not a Benedict Option but a Winthrop Option. A Madoc Option. A Sinclair Option. A Saint Brendan Option.
Build Back Better to quote the WEF Globalists.

III. The Real Sovereign Path
Sovereignty must once again be territorial — anchored in real land, real law, real culture.
It must be theological — grounded in Christian covenant, not secular slogans.
And it must be transcendent — ordered toward God, not man.
We must relearn how to build states — not as consumers or clients, but as heirs and stewards.
This means polity — monarchic or republican — rooted in divine law.
This means hierarchy — not exploitation, but order.
This means liturgy, not slogans; procession, not protest.

IV. A Pattern Rediscovered
In recent years, I have proposed a model for this work.
I call it Hyperstitional Territorial Sovereignty — the architectural design of Christian polities rooted in forgotten maps, sacred theology, and serious statecraft.
It draws upon Phantom Island Statecraft — the idea that the "errors" of mediæval and early modern cartography were not mere fables, but mythic foundations waiting to be reclaimed.
Names like Frisland, Antilia, Hy-Brasail, Magellanica — once etched in mariners’ charts — become again the seedbeds of Christian nations.
Not in fantasy, but in solemn blueprints.
Not to escape reality — but to restore it.

V. Builders, Not Bystanders
There are many who mourn what we have lost.
They wear tweed, read old books, quote Eliot, toast monarchs, and grumble at democracy.
But to mourn is not enough.
The hour has come to build.
Micronations play at sovereignty.
Tech founders simulate it.
But Christian men and women must now pursue it — seriously, prayerfully, and practically.

VI. Let Us Build
Let us build sovereign Christian polities again.
Not out of nostalgia, but out of need.
Not to return to the past, but to fulfill what the past foresaw.
A world ordered by covenant.
Peoples shaped by place and prayer.
Sovereigns who serve.
Laws that bind.
Beauty that forms.
This is not utopia. It is the possible.
And it begins with vision.
The old banners will not raise themselves. We must raise them. And under them — build again.
