A possible referendum?
The Prince Renato wants to develope the country, implanting a digital democracy. He wants to create an Assembly to allow worldwide people to vote about proposals of the Principality.
This project will be proposed by a referendum. If the project wons the referendum, the project will be implanted and Pontinha will become the first digital democracy in the world.
A nation, a culture
Pontinha is a nation, it is one of the templar countries that exist in the world. It is an islet known for its templar elements and symbols.
Democracy and direct participation
The idea of direct democracy that the Prince wants to implant in the Principality, is an idea of international participation over a territory.
The citizens of Potinha won't be the only to have the right of deciding the political future of the Principality, every user of the world can be a voluntary in the Pontinha development.
International recognition
There are a lot of micronations and territories which want to secede from their jurisdictions, so Pontinha can play a main role in Catalonia's process.
Self Herald have designed a comic to encourage Pontinha and Catalonia to support each other.
