Urbit’s primary governance model is a “self-governing digital republic” where
“authority is proportional to property.
8 Galaxies, stars, and planets are conceived of as property to be purchased and in limited supply, and one’s power within Urbit is determined by what tier of ownership they occupy and how much they own. The republic is structured as a “three-chambered legislature balanced against itself,” where galaxies, stars, and planets constitute the three tiers. There is not much detail on how this government would operate, other than an interim constitution, which doesn’t describe how these tiers actually balance each other. For instance, the “planetary assembly”, which manages technical governance, doesn’t have any oversight of the “stellar congress”, which manages internal governance, or the “galactic senate”, which selects consuls, who hold “full authority” in this interim.
