States could grant such domains when individuals register their identity, for example, "klaus-mueller-<close eyes say first word that comes to your mind>.self". It runs on a VPS, and it is well documented how to create and run a website on that. School kids are introduced to it. Would be an excellent entry point into digital sovereignty for citizens.

Enabling digital sovereignty for individuals is our foundational motivating principle!
Please leave states out of this. The Stateā„¢ is not your friend, and we don't need a future, even more criminal government to have access to the shutdown button of even more of our identity.

Note that I did not single out an individual coutnry. All governments always stride towards autocracy.

Except that Klaus Mueller is definitely not unique name. Human names are not that unique.
