First question, at which degree of interactions a community of cypherpunk, which accumulate resources and "master arms" on a territory (?), start to be a self-"government" of its own.
Second question according to which principles those cypherpunks would solve disputes among themselves. If you answer the principles of the ones who has the most AK-47s in the hands, this sounds very familiar to me to the Italian cities in the Middle Age.
I'll leave you to meditate on those subjects.
In the meanwhile, I'll go to finish Max Weber's Politik als Beruf and meditate on the zen philosophy of Bouddha.
"Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention laid down four widely recognised criteria for the existence of a state:
- Permanent population – The entity must have people permanently settled within its territory.
- Defined territory – The state must exercise authority over a specific geographical area, even if boundaries are disputed.
- Government – A functioning political authority must exist, capable of exercising control and governance.
- Capacity to enter into relations with other states – The state must be able to engage in international diplomacy and legal agreements.
These criteria have since been regarded as the customary definition of statehood in international law, widely referenced in both legal discourse and political practice."

Thanks, I'm not unfamiliar with constitutional law and I do remember the triade a population, a government, a territory.
There is no answer on my second question of how your community of cypherpunks would administer and resolve disputes among themselves on a territory (?).

u shud read the article; it is not about constitutions as corporations either, it's about the common law of the land, one may also call these "nations," which is the same as "nationstate" or "state" with a lower case "s;"
after that, read @DarthCoin's guide about natural law and educate urself instead of freaking out;
in the conditions where every cypherpunk is equipped with the knowledge of running his own nation, there shall be regular international relations;

I believe I have read Leo Strauss's Natural Law & History.
This doesn't answer how you would solve conflict if let's say you and @Darthcoin have a conflict because you have both different interpretation of the "natural law".
Here I bet you're going to fall back in the millenary old intractable conflict between natural and positive law...
