VoceDemos
No ads. No surveillance. A democratic ecosystem of essential digital services—owned and directed by its citizens.
Get Started
Why a Digital Nation?
Democracy means demos + kratos—the power of the people. Today’s internet is dominated by corporatocracies that monetize attention and data. VoceDemos flips the incentives: we are building a citizen-owned, transparent, and accountable digital nation where services exist to serve the public good.
- Governance by citizens—policy, budgets, and priorities decided together
- Open-source infrastructure—auditable, forkable, resilient
- Data sovereignty—your data stays under your control
- No ads, dark patterns, or surveillance capitalism
How It Works
The Digital Nation is a living system of people and tools. Membership grants a civic voice; services empower daily life; decisions are made in the open.
- Identity: privacy-preserving accounts with accountable participation
- Deliberation: Matrix spaces for proposals, discussion, and consensus
- Decision: verifiable polls and votes recorded transparently
- Services: chat, cloud, mail, and more—evolved by public mandate
Virtual World: Luanti Server
The VoceDemos Luanti server is a voxel-based virtual world, similar in style to Minecraft, and serves as our nation's shared 3D meeting place. The world is already live and ready to explore, though it’s still in its early stages of construction—with much yet to be built.
Citizens can gather, build, collaborate, and create freely. Every citizen receives a free Luanti account upon joining. Download the Luanti client below and connect to the official VoceDemos server to begin exploring.

VoceDemos is in its founding phase. By joining now, you help author the charter, establish institutions, and set our democratic norms. This is more than a platform—it’s a public realm we steward together.
The Digital Social Contract
Every citizen is guaranteed fundamental digital rights:
- Freedom of association and expression within community guidelines
- Right to privacy, encryption, and clear data portability
- Due process in moderation and governance
- Open access to civic records, code, and decisions
Funding Without Ads
We replace ads and surveillance with transparent community funding:
- Voluntary dues, donations, grants, and public budgeting
- Service tiers that never compromise privacy
- Public ledger of expenses and roadmaps
