Proposition 093 – Territorial binding of the state

The state differs from most other social circles because individuals cannot escape its territorially binding rules and institutions simply by leaving the circle.

• Explanation. Other social circles may also require participation or severely restrict exit. In the case of the state, however, the restriction is organised territorially: persons within the territory re­main in principle subject to the collectively binding rules and institutions of that state. Escape therefore generally requires more than ending membership of or participation in a particular so­cial circle.
