How it works
Answer the questions
A short, guided walkthrough — one question at a time. Name your nation, its land, its government, then shape its Declaration of Independence.
Your declaration is filed
It is entered upon the public registry with a permanent registry number, for anyone to see.

The four marks of a nation
A people
A permanent population who call it home.
Yours: you — and any friends, family, or community you gather under your flag.
A territory
A defined place, however large or small.
Yours: land you hold, a room, a treehouse — or a place of the mind, mapped however you choose.
A government
Someone, or some body, that governs it.
Yours: you as head of state, or a council of members who decide how your nation is run.
A voice
The capacity to enter relations with other nations.
Yours: the registry's nation-to-nation messaging — your channel to every other declared nation.
Filing follows the same test the world itself uses — the four criteria of the Montevideo Convention of 1933.
Your certificate
Every filed nation receives one. Issued under the registry's seal, watermarked.
Your Declaration of Independence
Beside the certificate, every nation receives a full Declaration of Independence — eight sections, composed by your own choices, with wording shaped to your form of government. Drawn and watermarked, yours to read, print, and keep.
A registry is a list.
