Sovereignty is one of the most important characteristics of the state. However, it is in tension because new players are emerging that are not subject to the jurisdiction of the state. These players include cryptocurrencies, underground websites (including deep web and dark web), and pirate organizations. Srirath Gohwong invented the term "kakistoscryptocracy" to describe this occurrence. The key objectives of the study were to investigate the state of the art of kakistoscryptocracy and to seek initial solutions for this phenomenon. In the study, documentary research was done. The findings showed that the kakistoscryptocracy framework consisted of state-based, stateless-based, and net states-based areas for both actual and virtual worlds. Non-state actors anarchically did all affairs and transactions within and across borders of the state by using Inagaki’s strategy of weeds. Last, tech ambassador and corsair were two alternatives for the formation of kakistoscryptocracy.
