-Since then, this idea has evolved and taken many forms, as various groups of individuals caught on and started to identify as //Anonymous// themselves.

 By the summer of 2006, several alternative imageboards had sprung up, each with //Anonymous// functions of their own. As Anons began to take up residence at these additional websites, they declared independence, firmly establishing the //Anonymous// persona as **a full-fledged community that could exist anywhere on the internet**. From 2006-2011, //Anonymous// experienced a period of rapid growth, as independent cells at various imageboards, chat rooms, blogs and social media platforms, all contributed back to the overall "culture" of the thriving decentralized community. By the summer of 2006, several alternative imageboards had sprung up, each with //Anonymous// functions of their own.

-These prototypical Anons did not operate in a vacuum. Many of them made an effort to stay in contact with each other, while forming numerous loosely-affiliated cliques and child communities in the process. Contrary to popular belief, the original community still exists today in the shadows, and maintains numerous secret communications pipelines. While most of these Anons are now considered "retired," they have not lost their identity as Anons, having been irreversibly molded by the collective over many years. Quite a few of these "OG's" have even taken behind-the-scenes advisory roles, guiding its newer members from afar and developing new cutting-edge technologies //(such as this Institute)//. With the right kind of eyes, you can still find some of them today, regaling newfags with war stories of battles long past.+These prototypical Anons did not operate in a vacuum.

-**Anon's claim to Sovereignty was never challenged.** Even the intelligence agencies of the United States, United Kingdom and Russia - permanent members of the UN Security Council, who were more than happy to contract //Anonymous// for numerous covert propaganda campaigns and illegal regime change operations - never once issued a statement denying the Sovereignty of //Anonymous//. This passive acceptance by our partners in the international community, **//de facto//** canonizes our Sovereign Status in international law. +

-We do not forget.+Of course, a nation is nothing without its people, and //Anonymous// has this in spades. Over the past two decades, the diaspora of our Sovereign Collective have spread across the entire world like a virus, embedding inside almost every industry in every country. This is not dissimilar from the ancient migrations of the //Twelve Tribes of Israel//, which is why //Anonymous// is sometimes affectionately referred to as **//"The Jews of the Internet"//**.
  
-Expect us.+With the advent of **cryptocurrency** and **decentralized finance**, //Anonymous// now has the tools necessary to fully manage its own internal affairs without the meddling of competing nation-states. These technologies, spearheaded by many veteran members of //Anonymous//, combined with our Sovereign status, open citizenship model and robust worldwide community, puts //Anonymous// in a unique geopolitical position as the world's first true **crypto-nation**: Free to do whatever it pleases, just as its forefathers intended.
