Editing Patchwork (section)

==Beliefs==
In an urbist system, all localities on within a region have their own jurisdiction residing over them and primarily only them, in an even more radical version of this system this is even applied to the seas and oceans.
===Arguments===
A common for a patchwork system is the belief that ''market competition'' over competing states creates an incentive for good leadership over a polity, as such the opportunity to compete within a market framework should be maximized as much as possible. Under this argument, patchwork is commonly combined with [[File:Neocam.png]] [[Neocameralism]], the belief that the state itself should be run for profit under a joint-stock framework.

Complementary arguments to the market argument are the ''experimentation argument'' and ''liberty argument''. The former is the belief that having multiple small jurisdictions rather than large-small ones leaves a greater opportunity and incentive for experimentation in policy allowing and allowing for good new policies to be implemented faster and the bad ones discarded faster. The latter is the belief that a small state under competition has a lesser incentive to infringe on the rights of its citizens than a larger state without much competition.

Another argument for ultramunicipalism is the belief that the nation is too much of an artificial unit to base sovereignty around as compared to the much more "real" unit of the city, and as such it would make more sense to base sovereignty on the city rather than the nation.
===Strategy===
The primary strategy for people who align themselves with patchwork is generally taken to be ''unconditional secessionism'' at all times, supporting every secession movement and every single break-away state that there is, including those that are not ideologically aligned with the movement.

Another proposal for creating a society of independent city-states is ''seasteading'', meaning creating new settlements in the sea away from the reach of current states.
