The world wide web appears as an open space. But there are state authorities acting behind the globalisation: an American network (.gov .mil .com) has been extended by national domains (.de .fr .ch). This division of the digital data network marginalises humans, who are oppressed in terms of eviction and censorship. Control by the established nations makes it impossible for unrecognised communities to articulate, legitimise and finally also to legalise themselves. In refugee countries and commercialized communication systems they will remain an off-line issue or sub-culture. New Nations add a new dimensions to the existing internet by providing Tibetans, Kurds, Tamils, Uigurs, Sahrauis etc with their own internet domain. This community project facilitates a new culture of open and global communication.
