Balaji's network states are not a new concept. He's just the latest to revisit the idea in light of recent events and culture.
Its a concept as old as cypherpunk itself. This 2001 book is a collection of essays with some as old as 1980's.

Also the cyberpunk fiction of William Gibson and Neal Stephenson takes place in imaginary cyberstaes.
will check it out, thanks!

Seriously good, both authors. My little brain was blown when I discovered that Neuromancer was released in 1984..
