# 1-Network {% hint style="info" %} * ***`0-network`***: an aspirational social network startup with no users * ***`1-network`***: a coherent community * ***`N-network`***: a massive global network of networks {% endhint %} A *1-network* is the basis for a network state, something like a focused subreddit, a moderated Facebook group, a PHP BB forum, a large Telegram channel, or the following of a single Twitter influencer. Of course, not all subreddits would be 1-networks, but `r/keto` with its intense dietary culture is much closer than a global forum like `r/worldnews`. A 1-network typically has some basic form of moderation (a moderator can ban you, an influencer can block you), some community norms, and mechanisms for enforcement. It doesn’t have *all* the criteria of a nation — the shared language, customs, history, and culture — but it’s like a proto-nation. The following of a single large YouTube or Twitter influencer is probably the best kind of 1-network out there, in the sense of a proto-nation for a network state, because it has shared context and history, as well as pointers towards a leader who can act as a dispute resolver. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
