I think the whole concept of enclaves is outdated.
Just looking at myself, I can see I'm a member of the following
societies: the Netherlands, the EU, Linux kernel developers,
the extropians group, the Cult of Father Darwin, the Dutch (and
international) scouts association and some other things as well.
Now that people can become a member of more and more different
societies easier than ever, why would we need to ditch the
traditional state in favor of "private enclaves"?
