Make power visible and contestable.
A design goal is to make rules, authority, and decisions open to scrutiny rather than dependent on opaque intermediaries.
LEBANON 3.0 / THE PROPOSAL / project proposal
A civic system without borders.
Lebanon 3.0 explores a Decentralized, Borderless, Voluntary Nation (DBVN): a proposal for organizing participation and shared governance around consent rather than territory alone.
A proposal to test—not a country that already exists.
The project starts from questions about trust, representation, and collective decision-making. It asks whether people connected to Lebanon, including its diaspora, can help shape shared civic systems while keeping participation voluntary.
“Lebanon 3.0” names that exploration. It does not declare a new state, claim sovereignty, confer citizenship, replace existing legal status, or provide government services. No legal or economic outcome is promised.
The proposal is incomplete by design: legitimacy, privacy, access, dispute resolution, and accountability need public examination before any real-world use could be considered.
Three words, open questions
Include people wherever they live.
The proposal asks how Lebanese people in the country and diaspora could participate across geography, while respecting different circumstances and choices.
Participation by informed consent.
People should be able to understand the rules before taking part. Membership, legal recognition, and protections remain unresolved questions—not existing features.
