About Topcoder Nation
For a quick and basic start, a nation is an imagined order that unifies people, allowing them to collaborate effectively on a large scale. Transitioning this concept, Topcoder is a borderless nation, a place that allows people to create meaningful connections, a place that unifies lives.
You can take a flight from any country to another yet you would still be within the nonexistent borders of Topcoder Nation, anywhere on this planet – as long as you have internet – you can access the nation’s human and material assets. One of the most luxurious benefits of working remotely: geographic independence.
