Abstract
A method, apparatus and system of government structures in a geo-spatial environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of organizing a community network includes obtaining a region on a geo-spatial map, obtaining a first subset of members of the community network associated with the region, determining a second subset of the members with a highest number of points from the first subset, creating a representative body (e.g., based on an activity level of each of the first subset) from the second subset, and enabling the representative body to manage a portion of the community network associated with the region. The method may further include obtaining votes from the first subset corresponding to an elected official of the region, determining one of the second subset with a highest number of the votes, and selecting the one of the second subset as the elected official.
