A vision of the NOMADS Republic, the largest nation on earth, is introduced. The NOMADS (Networks of Mobile Adaptive Dependable Systems) infrastructure is aimed at supporting the functionality of such nation. It consists of all systems that satisfy certain minimum requirements, namely, the ability to communicate and to discover, provide and/or use NOMADS services. The goal of NOMADS infrastructure is to deliver low cost, dependable and adaptive connectivity in intelligent and highly semantic manner, making it possible to enter the age of "subdued computing", where computing and communication converge, but stay out of the way.
