It is notable that in Srinivasan's "The Network State" there is no mention of Ordnung as a positive example of how a parallel social order can and does work. All the mentions of Amish are negative examples at best.
Much value creation is already digital. If you’re reading this,
you’re probably an information worker. You may not have thought
about it this way, but the majority of your waking hours are
probably spent in front of one screen or another a laptop for
work, a phone on the go, a tablet for reading, and so on. So, most
of your life is already spent in the Matrix, in a sense, even
before the advent of widespread AR/VR. Short of a pullback to an
Amish or Andaman Islander existence, most of your life is and will
be digitally influenced in some form. Moreover, much of the value
in the physical world comes from blueprints created on a computer
in some form; eg, the iPhones manufactured in Shenzhen gain much
of their value from the designers in California. So, a good
fraction of value creation is largely digital.

No social network. If there’s no social network, you have no
digital profiles, no messaging, no community fora, no mass media,
and no easy way to recruit from the internet. You’d essentially be
living an Amish life, relying on pieces of paper or offline cues
to determine who was part of your new state and how they
interacted. This isn’t going to succeed the nation state.
