I caution against using too many real-world metaphors to get people to understand the online world. There aren't very many good ones out there. To think about a website as a home or whatever the heck doesn't work for me. Yes, you will have to put government services online. You will have to provide digital government stuff. That's inevitable—unless you want to be a backwoods caveman society, as I'm sure you do not. You have to develop the norms and acceptable practices of the online world. You can't tie it too much to metaphors from the off-line world, because there aren't very many good analogies that fit, piece to piece to piece.
