Hi! Sorry about the delay, I'm not here very often. It's not exactly what you are describing, but Buenos Aires is pioneering a blockchain-based identity system based off of an ethereum rollup cointelegraph.com/news/buenos-... . Have you discovered any examples since you asked the question?
When pressed by @glenweyl.bsky.social on how free and fair elections would function under his “accountable monarchy” (where dissent is eliminated), Curtis Yarvin admits that his view of "free and fair" is similar to Putin’s elections.

The acting—especially by Fernanda Torres and her mother, the mythical Fernanda Montenegro—is magnificent. The film received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.

Eunice Paiva, faced with the unimaginable, is transformed by the experience. Recognizing that the state violence her family endured under the dictatorship is the same that indigenous peoples continue to suffer even beyond that era,
