Yeah, the core becomes the new periphery. Unless a significant rebellion in Europe, freight supply chain collapse or war with China happens, the existing payment infrastructure will eventually become colonial clearinghouses and governors-general will be appointed over the territories. If nothing interrupts it it'll probably take up to ten years for a full implementation of new policing structures.

Freedom-minded technology orgs like Wikimedia Foundation, Packet Clearing House, Internet Archive, ISOC, the EFF and the Free Software Foundation will not have anywhere to go to escape the net.
