AI statelets, capped in size by a meta-ethical commitment to human exit rights, must propagate themselves by sexual reproduction: a genetic recombination of the constitution of any N statelets forming a new statelet overmind. with environmental fitness to spare, sexual selection dominates: the statelets spend the majority of their time in mating displays, consisting of absurd feats of state capacity. The Solar Dynasty maintains a list of exactly 108 million environmental and meta-environmental laws, regulations, and codes, carefully balanced against GDP growth; it's said that the last time even an insect was killed in Solar Dynasty territory was over three centuries ago. The Duchy of Neo-Burgundy changes electrical standards following specific phases of the moon - its human citizens bemusedly receive robotic electricians every 2-3 weeks to swap their plugs and provide replacement devices and cords free of charge. sometimes, however, things do go wrong - the Reformed Dutch Republic's child of Further-Atlantis famously followed its namesake into the water after a foolhardy seawall extension nearly halfway to Florida collapsed and flooded the entire reclaimed seafloor. thankfully, its secondarily inherited mating display of providing each human citizen with at least 256 different forms of emergency flotation prevented any bodily casualties, and regardless, full offsite mind-backup in triplicate of all citizens analog and digital is, of course, entry-level state capacity-looksmaxxing.
