All those things operate on Tinkerbell logic:
currency, boarders, sovereignty, human rights, and democracy
They can all be thrown away in an instance if people (for whatever reason) don’t fight for them.
There will always be people who fight against those things, and people that don’t give a fuck too. But we always have to have enough willing to fight for them, the % necessary just fluctuates.

I’d wager to bet that every single day, someone trades a seashell for something.
And I like being pedantic, so I’d say that seashells are actively currency.
Because that’s really all it takes.
