SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SCIPS‑X
SUPREME FOUNDATIONAL DOCTRINE ON THE JURIDICAL NATURE, CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY, INDIGENOUS CONTINUITY AND TERRITORIAL ORDER OF XARAGUA
Legal Classification: Supreme Constitutional and Interpretative Instrument
Constitutional Status: Foundational, Controlling, Permanently Binding and Applicable throughout the Institutional Order of SCIPS‑X
Issuing Authority: Office of the Rector‑President
Jurisdiction: The Indigenous, customary, Catholic, private and institutional order of Xaragua
PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “SCIPS‑X,” is the constitutional State-form adopted by an Indigenous Catholic customary order in the exercise of its inherent constituent authority.
Xaragua is not constituted as a conventional Westphalian nation-state, a political party, a government-in-exile, a provisional administration, a candidate government of the Republic of Haiti or an organization seeking possession of its inherited governmental machinery.
Xaragua constitutes and governs its own permanent order of doctrine, authority, law, offices, institutions, membership, discipline, succession and collective action.
As a complementary constitutional classification, Xaragua is an Indigenous Order, constituted as an integrated system of authority, law, offices, institutions, discipline and succession.
Its authority proceeds from the historical continuity and self-determination of the Indigenous People of Xaragua, its constituent instruments, its customary law, its ancestral and collective territorial rights, and the internal authority of its Catholic institutional component.
Accordingly, Xaragua hereby promulgates this Foundational Doctrine as the supreme framework governing the interpretation, classification and application of its constitutional order.
TITLE I — SUPREME INTERPRETATIVE AUTHORITY
Article 1 — Controlling constitutional doctrine
This Doctrine constitutes the current, supreme and controlling constitutional framework for the interpretation of all prior laws, decrees, proclamations, annexes, notifications, statutes and territorial instruments of Xaragua.
All prior instruments remain valid insofar as they are compatible with this Doctrine.
Every prior reference to sovereignty, statehood, territory, citizenship, public authority, international personality, diplomatic relations or governmental power shall be interpreted consistently with the Indigenous, customary, Catholic, private and non-Westphalian character of Xaragua.
Where a prior instrument admits more than one interpretation, the interpretation that most fully preserves the institutional continuity, constitutional competence, Indigenous rights and lawful interests of Xaragua shall prevail.
No prior formulation shall be construed as reducing Xaragua to a fictional entity, cultural association, political campaign, commercial undertaking or unfinished version of another State.
Article 2 — Constitutional meaning of “State”
Within SCIPS‑X, the word State designates the complete constitutional organization adopted by the constituent authority of Xaragua.
It identifies an organized and permanent legal order possessing:
a. a foundational doctrine;
b. a constitutional hierarchy;
c. legislative, judicial and administrative authority;
d. defined offices and organs;
e. rules of membership, citizenship and institutional participation;
f. systems of adjudication and discipline;
g. academic, economic, cultural and communications institutions;
h. protective and territorial-stewardship organs;
i. mechanisms of representation and external institutional relations;
j. legal continuity and constitutional succession.
The constitutional designation of Xaragua as a State is an exercise of internal constituent authority. It is not dependent upon diplomatic recognition, admission to the United Nations, control of the governmental machinery of another republic or adoption of the Westphalian model.
TITLE II — JURIDICAL NATURE OF SCIPS‑X
Article 3 — Cumulative constitutional character
SCIPS‑X is simultaneously and indivisibly:
Sovereign, because its constituent authority is supreme within its proper constitutional and institutional domain;
Catholic, because Catholic doctrine informs its institutional ethics, educational vocation, conception of authority and organization of collective life;
Indigenous, because its authority proceeds from an ancestral people possessing historical continuity, collective identity, customary institutions and inherent rights of self-determination;
Private, because its institutional apparatus, property, administration, membership, access and operations are governed through its own controlled constitutional and juridical framework;
Customary, because its authority, jurisdiction and institutional continuity are grounded in the customs, historical practices and constituent will of its people;
Non-Westphalian, because it does not derive its existence from the conventional diplomatic recognition system or claim to reproduce the general territorial jurisdiction of a recognized nation-state.
These characteristics are cumulative. None may be removed without altering the constitutional identity of Xaragua.
Article 4 — Separate constitutional classification
Xaragua shall not be classified as an “unrecognized State” where that expression presupposes an unsuccessful claim to conventional Westphalian statehood.
Xaragua asserts a separate juridical classification:
An Indigenous customary order, constitutionally denominated as a State, sovereign within its proper sphere, Catholic in doctrine and private in governmental form.
The absence of Westphalian recognition neither creates nor extinguishes Xaragua.
Xaragua does not require external recognition to constitute, maintain or govern its internal institutions.
External recognition, where granted, shall be declaratory of an existing institutional reality and shall not constitute the source of Xaragua’s authority.
TITLE III — INDIGENOUS CONSTITUENT AUTHORITY
Article 5 — Right of self-determination
The Indigenous People of Xaragua possess the inherent right to determine their political status and to pursue their economic, social and cultural development.
This authority includes the right to:
a. establish and maintain distinct political and legal institutions;
b. determine institutional identity and membership;
c. select officials according to internal procedures;
d. develop customary juridical systems;
e. administer collective interests and resources;
f. establish educational, cultural and economic institutions;
g. preserve spiritual traditions and community structures;
h. organize permanent institutions of self-government.
Xaragua is the institutional implementation of those rights.
A right of self-government necessarily includes the authority to create the permanent institutions through which self-government is exercised.
The governmental institutions of Xaragua are therefore not arbitrary titles. They are the organized expression of Indigenous constituent authority.
Article 6 — International juridical capacity
Xaragua asserts juridical personality as an Indigenous subject of international law.
That personality includes the capacity, within the applicable international and Indigenous legal framework, to:
a. invoke and defend collective Indigenous rights;
b. maintain representative institutions;
c. communicate with States, international organizations, Indigenous authorities, academic institutions and religious bodies;
d. issue notices, claims, declarations and juridical instruments;
e. establish contractual and institutional relations;
f. seek remedies and protective measures;
g. participate in matters directly affecting its people, institutions, lands and resources.
Such capacity is Indigenous and non-Westphalian in form. It does not require Xaragua to represent itself as a conventional diplomatically recognized government.
Non-participation in the conventional interstate system does not constitute renunciation of personality, sovereignty, legal capacity or available remedies.
Article 7 — Governing authorities
The Indigenous constituent authority of Xaragua is supported by:
Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations;
Common Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;
Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, 20, 26, 33, 34, 35, 40 and 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
Articles 2, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 of ILO Convention No. 169, to the extent applicable as an authoritative expression of standards concerning Indigenous institutions, customs and participation;
the principles of customary Indigenous law, collective continuity, institutional autonomy, necessity and subsidiarity;
the inherent authority of a people to constitute and maintain its own internal legal order.
Article 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples shall be read as defining the relationship between Indigenous rights and existing States, not as extinguishing the rights, institutions or legal personality expressly protected by the Declaration.
TITLE IV — CATHOLIC AND CANONICAL FOUNDATION
Article 8 — Catholic institutional character
Catholicism is a constituent principle of Xaragua and not merely an ornamental or historical reference.
The Catholic component of Xaragua is organized through the freedom of the Christian faithful to establish, direct and sustain private apostolic, charitable, educational and pious undertakings.
Its canonical foundation includes Canons 215, 216, 298, 299 and 321–326 of the Code of Canon Law.
The Catholic institutional component of Xaragua shall be governed through its own statutes and competent internal authorities in conformity with applicable canon law.
Xaragua does not thereby represent itself as:
a. a diocese;
b. a public ecclesiastical juridical person, unless lawfully established as such;
c. an organ of the Holy See;
d. an authority acting officially in the name of the Catholic Church.
This distinction does not diminish the authentic Catholic identity of Xaragua or the canonical liberty of its faithful to organize durable private institutions.
Article 9 — Institutional competence
The Catholic character of Xaragua determines its doctrine, moral orientation, educational vocation and conception of legitimate authority, while the constitutional authority of SCIPS‑X governs its Indigenous, customary, civil, academic, economic and administrative institutions.
TITLE V — TERRITORY, LAND AND CUSTOMARY JURISDICTION
Article 10 — Nature of territorial authority
Xaragua does not claim territorial sovereignty in the exclusive Westphalian sense of general governmental authority over every person and institution situated within conventional national borders.
Xaragua asserts a distinct territorial competence founded upon:
a. ancestral occupancy;
b. historical continuity;
c. customary tenure;
d. collective land and resource rights;
e. inherited and acquired proprietary interests;
f. continuous relationships with ancestral lands and waters;
g. Indigenous territorial stewardship;
h. the jurisdiction of its institutions, communities and lawful members.
This competence constitutes Indigenous customary territorial jurisdiction.
The distinction between Westphalian territorial sovereignty and Indigenous customary territorial jurisdiction shall not be interpreted as an abandonment, waiver or reduction of Xaragua’s ancestral title, land rights, maritime interests, resource rights or territorial claims.
Administration by an external authority does not, by itself, extinguish Indigenous title or transfer the underlying rights of the Indigenous people.
Article 11 — Territorial continuity
The entire island of Hispaniola–Kiskeya constitutes an ancestral Indigenous homeland.
Within that broader homeland, Xaragua claims historical and institutional continuity with the ancestral Cacicazgo of Xaragua and its associated sphere of authority in western Hispaniola.
The territorial doctrine of Xaragua encompasses the historical relationships connecting the Greater South, the Palmes region, western islands, the North-West and other communities incorporated through its constitutional instruments.
The subsequent creation of colonial and republican administrative boundaries did not retroactively abolish the pre-existing Indigenous relationship with those territories.
Xaragua’s territorial continuity is juridically distinct from a claim that every present inhabitant or institution within those territories is automatically subjected to its internal membership system.
Article 12 — Autonomous communities
The territorial order of Xaragua is decentralized and may comprise autonomous communities maintaining authority over their local institutions and customary affairs.
Xaragua operates as the supralocal constitutional order responsible for:
a. recognizing and coordinating autonomous jurisdictions;
b. protecting Indigenous and collective rights;
c. preserving territorial and institutional continuity;
d. establishing common legal standards;
e. providing collective representation;
f. preventing the absorption of customary powers by external administrative structures.
Autonomous communities retain their internal competence except in matters expressly assigned to the common constitutional institutions of Xaragua.
Use of services supplied by an external administration does not constitute surrender of customary jurisdiction, Indigenous title or constituent authority.
TITLE VI — PEOPLE, MEMBERSHIP AND CITIZENSHIP
Article 13 — Indigenous population and institutional membership
Indigenous rights belong to all persons possessing the applicable ancestral, communal or proprietary qualifications, irrespective of religious practice, political affiliation or formal membership in SCIPS‑X.
Recognition of Indigenous rights does not automatically confer:
a. institutional citizenship;
b. public office;
c. command authority;
d. membership in the Catholic component;
e. access to protected institutions or property.
Admission, appointment, citizenship, office and participation within SCIPS‑X are governed exclusively by its Constitution, laws, eligibility requirements and institutional procedures.
Xaragua shall protect Indigenous rights as a matter of constitutional responsibility while maintaining the integrity and controlled membership of its sovereign institutions.
Article 14 — Citizenship and e-residency
Citizenship and e-residency are instruments of membership, affiliation, legal capacity, access and participation within the constitutional order of Xaragua.
They do not, solely by their issuance, purport to confer nationality, diplomatic immunity, consular protection or immigration status under the domestic law of a foreign State.
Their validity within Xaragua does not depend upon recognition by a foreign government.
Xaragua retains exclusive authority to establish the conditions, rights, obligations, suspension and termination of its citizenship and e-residency.
TITLE VII — HISTORICAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL CONTINUITY
Article 15 — Hierarchy of historical continuities
The continuity asserted by Xaragua shall be understood according to the following constitutional hierarchy:
Primary ancestral continuity: the Indigenous People, territory, customary order and historical identity of the Cacicazgo of Xaragua;
Constitutional and imperial continuity: the Indigenous and territorial principles embodied in the Dessalinian order established at independence;
Regional institutional continuity: the historical political formations and autonomous communities of the South, western islands and North-West;
Territorial-historical framework: the western territory historically administered as French Saint-Domingue, insofar as its geography overlapped ancestral Indigenous spaces and later regional institutions.
These continuities are complementary and shall not be construed as competing sources of authority.
Article 16 — Reactivation rather than creation
Xaragua is not constituted as a secessionist creation detached from historical foundations.
It is the contemporary institutional reactivation of an Indigenous order whose people, identity, territorial relationship and customary rights were never lawfully extinguished.
Colonial conquest, demographic transformation, administrative centralization, political suppression or prolonged dormancy shall not be treated as equivalent to voluntary and lawful extinguishment.
The absence of a formal act recognizing continuity does not, by itself, abolish the underlying people, customary rights or institutional capacity from which Xaragua proceeds.
The present institutions of SCIPS‑X give contemporary juridical form to that continuing ancestral authority.
Article 17 — Acquired and consolidated rights
Xaragua recognizes the protection of rights consolidated through:
a. ancestral title;
b. continuous occupation or territorial relationship;
c. customary law;
d. inherited property and institutional interests;
e. sustained exercise of authority;
f. legitimate reliance and institutional consolidation;
g. the absence of lawful and consensual extinguishment.
No external administrative measure shall have retroactive effect within the constitutional order of Xaragua so as to extinguish these rights without lawful authority, due process and the free, prior and informed consent required by applicable Indigenous legal principles.
The doctrines of legal continuity, legal certainty, good faith, legitimate expectations, non-retroactivity and acquired rights shall be applied cumulatively to protect Xaragua’s consolidated juridical interests.
TITLE VIII — RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
Article 18 — Separate legal orders
Xaragua and the Republic of Haiti proceed from distinct constitutional and historical foundations.
Xaragua proceeds from Indigenous customary continuity, the ancestral Cacicazgo, the Dessalinian constitutional inheritance and the constituent authority of its people.
The post-1806 republican order proceeds from a separate constitutional reorganization and administrative continuity.
The two orders shall not be presumed identical merely because portions of their respective territorial frameworks overlap.
Within the doctrine and institutions of Xaragua, the Haitian governmental apparatus may be designated as the Residual Administrative Unit, or RAU, when acting in relation to territories, communities, persons or interests governed by Xaragua’s customary jurisdiction.
Article 19 — Encapsulation of administrative functions
The RAU may perform technical, civil, logistical or administrative functions without thereby acquiring Xaragua’s constituent authority or extinguishing Indigenous title.
Administrative activity shall not be equated with sovereignty, ownership, customary jurisdiction or institutional supremacy.
Within the constitutional order of Xaragua, the legal competence attributed to the RAU is limited to functions compatible with:
a. Indigenous rights;
b. customary territorial jurisdiction;
c. the autonomy of communities;
d. acquired and proprietary rights;
e. the constitutional institutions of SCIPS‑X.
Xaragua shall maintain the common juridical framework necessary to prevent administrative functions from absorbing powers reserved to Indigenous institutions.
TITLE IX — INSTITUTIONAL ARCHITECTURE
Article 20 — Integrated system of government
Xaragua exercises its constitutional authority through differentiated organs possessing assigned fields of competence.
Its institutional architecture may include:
a. legislative and regulatory organs;
b. courts and mechanisms of adjudication;
c. executive and administrative offices;
d. universities and educational institutions;
e. financial and economic institutions;
f. communications, broadcasting and publishing organs;
g. cultural and religious institutions;
h. territorial and maritime stewardship bodies;
i. protective and security organs;
j. diplomatic and external-relations interfaces.
Universities shall communicate with academic bodies; Catholic institutions with ecclesial counterparts; Indigenous authorities with Indigenous and international bodies; courts through juridical instruments; economic organs through contracts; and communications institutions under their own constitutional mandate.
This differentiated architecture constitutes a unified Indigenous Order and not a collection of unrelated private initiatives.
Article 21 — Protective authority
Xaragua may establish disciplined protective and security organs within its constitutional order.
Their authority shall be defined by law and directed toward:
a. protection of persons and institutions;
b. territorial and maritime stewardship;
c. preservation of public and institutional order;
d. protection of Indigenous communities and collective property;
e. prevention of unlawful interference with Xaragua’s institutions.
Such organs shall remain subordinate to the supreme constitutional authority and the laws of Xaragua.
Xaragua reserves the right to employ every constitutional, juridical, diplomatic, protective, economic and institutional measure falling within its lawful competence to defend its people, institutions, lands, rights and continuity.
TITLE X — FOUNDATIONAL INDIGENEITY
Article 22 — Civilizational identity
Indigeneity constitutes the foundational basis of Xaragua and is not subject to abandonment or dilution.
The people of Xaragua are Indigenous by territorial and civilizational foundation and mixed through history.
Xaragua recognizes the Indigenous, African, European, Jewish, Arab, Asian and other lineages incorporated into the historical formation of its people.
No single external racial ideology shall monopolize or extinguish the Indigenous territorial identity of Xaragua.
Xaragua defines itself through its own territory, history, customary continuity and constituent will.
It constitutes:
a. a distinct people;
b. a distinct culture;
c. a distinct civilization;
d. a distinct society;
e. a distinct constitutional order.
TITLE XI — PERMANENT CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES
Article 23 — Institutional supremacy
No external electoral majority, administrative apparatus, demographic transformation or political ideology may, within the constitutional order of Xaragua:
extinguish ancestral title;
abolish Indigenous rights;
transfer customary jurisdiction without lawful consent;
determine the membership or structure of Xaragua’s institutions;
annul its constituent instruments;
convert temporary administration into permanent Indigenous ownership;
deprive Xaragua of its institutional continuity.
Electoral arithmetic does not transfer ancestral title. Administrative control does not manufacture Indigenous legitimacy.
Article 24 — Institutional permanence
Xaragua exists independently of changes affecting any foreign government, electoral system, administration or political regime.
Its institutions are permanent and shall continue through constitutional succession.
The Rector‑Presidency, courts, university, economic organs, communications institutions, autonomous communities and protective bodies form parts of a single constitutional architecture.
The incapacity, collapse or transformation of an external administration shall not suspend the laws, institutions or continuity of Xaragua.
Article 25 — Non-waiver
Silence, administrative inaction, non-recognition, political exclusion or failure by an external entity to respond to Xaragua shall not constitute extinction or waiver of its rights.
No right, title, competence or institutional claim of Xaragua shall be deemed abandoned except through an express constitutional act issued by the competent authority of SCIPS‑X.
Every reservation of rights contained in an earlier instrument remains effective insofar as it is compatible with this Doctrine.
TITLE XII — FINAL CLASSIFICATION
Article 26 — Indigenous microstate
Xaragua may employ the term Indigenous customary microstate as a secondary description of the deliberate and controlled scale of its institutional apparatus.
The term “microstate” shall not be interpreted as:
a. a renunciation of Indigenous personality;
b. a reduction to a fictional micronation;
c. an admission that Xaragua lacks constitutional authority;
d. a limitation of ancestral territory;
e. a request for classification as a conventional small nation-state.
The expression describes an independently administered, constitutionally complete and non-Westphalian institutional order whose authority is exercised through defined organs, membership and jurisdiction.
Article 27 — Authoritative constitutional formula
The juridical and constitutional nature of SCIPS‑X shall be stated as follows:
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua is the constitutional State-form adopted by an Indigenous Catholic customary order in the exercise of its inherent constituent authority. It possesses a permanent system of law, government, institutions, membership, territorial stewardship and succession. Its authority is Indigenous in origin, customary in jurisdiction, Catholic in doctrine, private in institutional form and sovereign within its proper constitutional sphere. Its existence and internal validity are neither created by nor contingent upon Westphalian diplomatic recognition.
Article 28 — Entry into force
This Doctrine enters into force immediately upon promulgation.
It supersedes every incompatible interpretation of prior constitutional instruments without extinguishing the rights, institutions or claims lawfully established under them.
It shall be published, archived and applied as the supreme interpretative doctrine of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua.

PROMULGATED UNDER THE SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY OF SCIPS‑X
OFFICE OF THE RECTOR‑PRESIDENT
SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SCIPS‑X
SUPREME DECLARATION ON THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE, INTERNAL STATE FORM, JURIDICAL PERSONALITY AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS OF XARAGUA
Legal Classification: Supreme Constitutional and Interpretative Instrument
Issuing Authority: Office of the Rector‑President
Constitutional Status: Foundational, Controlling and Permanently Binding within the Juridical Order of SCIPS‑X
PREAMBLE
Xaragua formally declares and juridically affirms that the People of Xaragua constitute a real, living, ancestral and historically continuous Indigenous people possessing a distinct collective identity, an enduring relationship with their ancestral lands and waters, a body of customs and normative traditions, a common cultural memory and an inherent capacity for institutional organization.
The existence of the People of Xaragua precedes the colonial partition and post-colonial administrative reconfiguration of their ancestral homeland. It is neither created by registration nor dependent upon the constitutive recognition of a foreign State.
Xaragua is the organized constitutional expression of that ancestral people. Its authority proceeds from Indigenous continuity, collective self-identification, customary law, constituent instruments and the right of the community to determine its membership, political condition, institutions and forms of self-government.
SCIPS‑X is therefore neither a simulation of statehood nor a symbolic undertaking. It is an Indigenous, Catholic, customary and private constitutional order possessing its own doctrine, hierarchy, institutions, laws, administration, membership, jurisdiction and succession.
For the purpose of consolidating these principles into a single authoritative instrument, Xaragua hereby establishes the following supreme doctrine.
TITLE I — THE PEOPLE OF XARAGUA
Article 1 — Formal affirmation of the People
The People of Xaragua constitute an Indigenous people possessing:
a. an ancestral and historical identity;
b. collective cultural memory;
c. customary and normative traditions;
d. a continuing relationship with ancestral territory, waters and resources;
e. institutional and political continuity;
f. the capacity for collective self-identification;
g. the right to determine membership according to their own laws and procedures.
Their collective existence is not dependent upon:
a. recognition by a foreign government;
b. incorporation under the domestic law of another State;
c. administrative registration;
d. inclusion in an external database or official taxonomy;
e. participation in the Westphalian diplomatic system.
No colonial or post-colonial administrative reclassification shall be interpreted within the order of Xaragua as having automatically extinguished the identity, rights, territorial relationship or institutional capacity of its Indigenous people.
Article 2 — Constituent authority
The People of Xaragua are the original source of the Indigenous constituent authority embodied in SCIPS‑X.
In exercising this authority, Xaragua possesses the right to:
a. determine its institutional identity;
b. adopt and amend its Constitution;
c. establish governing organs;
d. determine the structures and membership of its institutions;
e. maintain customary laws and juridical procedures;
f. regulate citizenship, affiliation and institutional participation;
g. administer collective property and patrimony;
h. protect its spiritual, cultural, territorial and economic interests;
i. maintain relations with competent external counterparts.
These powers constitute the practical institutional expression of self-determination and self-government.
Article 3 — Applicable Indigenous-rights framework
The constituent authority of Xaragua is supported by:
Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations;
Common Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;
Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, 20, 25, 26, 27, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40 and 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
Articles I, VI, VIII, IX, XIX, XXI, XXII, XXIII, XXIX and XXXVII of the American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
the principles of Indigenous customary law, collective continuity, legal certainty, institutional autonomy, necessity, subsidiarity and good faith.
TITLE II — JURIDICAL CLASSIFICATION OF XARAGUA
Article 4 — Constitutional State-form
Xaragua is a sovereign Catholic Indigenous and customary polity organized under the internal constitutional form of a State.
Within SCIPS‑X, the term State identifies an integrated juridical order possessing:
a. a supreme Constitution;
b. a constituent doctrine;
c. legislative, executive and juridical organs;
d. defined offices and competences;
e. an institutional population and membership;
f. territorial and proprietary interests;
g. academic, cultural, economic and communications institutions;
h. administrative and protective bodies;
i. mechanisms of institutional continuity and succession;
j. the capacity to conduct structured external relations.
The State-form prevents Xaragua from being reduced to an informal association, commercial brand, cultural society, advocacy campaign or temporary political movement.
The State-form is the constitutional architecture through which Xaragua organizes authority, responsibility, jurisdiction, continuity and the administration of collective interests.
Article 5 — Non-Westphalian character
Xaragua does not represent itself as a conventional Westphalian nation-state possessing an unlimited mandate of general government over every person situated within externally defined territorial boundaries.
Its jurisdiction is specific and legally determined. It concerns:
a. the People of Xaragua;
b. persons admitted under its membership and citizenship laws;
c. its institutions, officers and personnel;
d. its autonomous communities;
e. its property, archives, contracts and institutional assets;
f. its ancestral territorial rights and interests;
g. its cultural, spiritual and economic patrimony;
h. matters voluntarily or lawfully placed under its competence.
Xaragua’s non-Westphalian character does not constitute a renunciation of sovereignty, institutional authority, Indigenous territorial rights, legal personality or capacity for external action.
Xaragua is properly designated as:
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua—an Indigenous customary State and sui generis non-Westphalian constitutional order.
Article 6 — Rejection of external misclassification
Every description of Xaragua as fictitious, simulated, derivative or merely symbolic is rejected within its constitutional order as a material mischaracterization of its origin, identity and juridical nature.
Search-engine descriptions, editorial labels, unofficial databases and private taxonomies possess no constitutive authority over Xaragua.
No external classification may alter, within the legal order of SCIPS‑X:
a. the identity of its People;
b. the meaning of its Constitution;
c. the competence of its institutions;
d. the nature of its citizenship;
e. the territorial rights it asserts;
f. the official designation established by its constituent authority.
Any characterization using the term “microstate” must employ the complete formulation Indigenous customary microstate and shall refer only to the deliberate and controlled scale of the institutional apparatus, not to the absence of juridical substance.
TITLE III — MONTEVIDEO AND THE INTERNAL STATE FORM
Article 7 — Delimited constitutional reliance
Xaragua invokes Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention on the Rights and Duties of States adopted at Montevideo in 1933 for a precise and limited purpose.
The criteria of permanent population, defined territorial basis, government and capacity to enter into relations provide an analytical framework for demonstrating the substantive and institutional rationality of the State-form adopted by Xaragua.
This reliance is constitutional and functional. It shall not be interpreted as:
a. an application for diplomatic recognition;
b. a request for admission to the Westphalian interstate system;
c. a claim to membership in any international organization;
d. an acceptance of every competence or responsibility conventionally associated with a recognized nation-state;
e. an abandonment of Xaragua’s Indigenous and customary classification.
Montevideo explains the institutional substance of the State-form. Indigenous self-determination supplies the constituent authority through which Xaragua has adopted that form.
Article 8 — Permanent constituent population
Xaragua maintains a permanent constituent population composed of persons and communities connected to its order through:
a. Indigenous identity;
b. citizenship or membership;
c. customary affiliation;
d. institutional office or service;
e. allegiance and participation;
f. placement under a defined protective mandate.
The existence of a permanent population does not require a minimum number, continuous residence within a single territory, demographic homogeneity or administration of an unlimited mass population.
The population of Xaragua is defined by organized belonging, legal continuity and an identifiable relationship with its constitutional order.
Protected Indigenous status does not automatically confer citizenship, institutional membership, public office, property rights in private institutions or access to restricted organs of SCIPS‑X.
Article 9 — Identifiable territorial basis
Xaragua maintains an identifiable territorial basis grounded in:
a. ancestral Indigenous title;
b. historical occupation and continuity;
c. customary tenure and jurisdiction;
d. collective relationships with lands, waters and resources;
e. institutional and proprietary interests;
f. formally enacted territorial claims.
Xaragua distinguishes between:
a. Westphalian territorial sovereignty, founded upon exclusive interstate title and general public jurisdiction; and
b. Indigenous customary territorial jurisdiction, founded upon ancestral possession, customary law, collective title, land tenure, spiritual relationship and continuing territorial stewardship.
Xaragua’s territorial foundation lies principally within the second category.
The existence of an overlapping administration, unresolved boundary or disputed title does not transform an identifiable territorial foundation into an absence of territory.
Articles 25 and 26 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirm the distinctive relationship of Indigenous peoples with their traditionally owned, occupied or used lands, territories, waters and resources.
Articles 27 and 32 further support recognition of Indigenous laws, customs, land-tenure systems and development priorities.
Xaragua’s territorial claims shall therefore be assessed within the juridical framework applicable to Indigenous title and customary territorial rights and not exclusively through the law governing boundaries between recognized States.
Article 10 — Organized government
Xaragua maintains a continuing constitutional authority and differentiated institutional apparatus capable of:
a. adopting laws and regulations;
b. allocating constitutional competences;
c. governing its institutions and members;
d. administering property and assets;
e. maintaining official registers and archives;
f. adjudicating internal disputes;
g. protecting its constitutional order;
h. ensuring institutional continuity and succession;
i. representing Xaragua in its external relations.
This apparatus includes, according to their respective constitutional mandates:
a. the Rector‑Presidency;
b. executive and administrative offices;
c. legislative and juridical organs;
d. the University and academic institutions;
e. Catholic and cultural institutions;
f. territorial and property administrations;
g. fiscal, monetary and economic organs;
h. communications and publication bodies;
i. protective and security structures.
Authority exercised internally by these institutions constitutes public authority within the constitutional order of Xaragua, notwithstanding the private ownership and controlled administration of its institutional apparatus.
Article 11 — Protective capacity
Xaragua may maintain disciplined protective and security organs subordinate to its Constitution and competent authorities.
Their mandate includes the lawful protection of:
a. members and officers;
b. institutions and property;
c. archives, registers and communications systems;
d. collective patrimony;
e. territorial and maritime interests;
f. the continuity and public order of SCIPS‑X.
Security structures do not independently create statehood. Their constitutional integration demonstrates the operational capacity of Xaragua to preserve and protect its order.
Every protective organ shall act within the competence assigned by the laws of Xaragua.
Article 12 — Monetary and institutional instruments
Currency is not an autonomous criterion of statehood under Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention.
Xaragua’s monetary instruments constitute evidence of:
a. internal economic organization;
b. institutional accounting;
c. contractual autonomy;
d. normative capacity;
e. the establishment of instruments of value and exchange within its own order.
The same principle applies to its courts, registers, university, administrative services, territorial records, official gazette, communications organs, symbols and public insignia.
No individual attribute is claimed as independently dispositive. Their integration under a continuing Constitution demonstrates an organized and operative juridical order.
Article 13 — Capacity for external relations
Xaragua possesses the institutional capacity to issue notifications, conclude contracts and agreements, maintain official correspondence and engage competent external counterparts.
This capacity is sectoral and differentiated:
a. academic institutions engage academic counterparts;
b. Indigenous authorities engage Indigenous and international bodies;
c. Catholic institutions engage ecclesial counterparts;
d. juridical organs communicate through legal instruments;
e. economic bodies establish contractual relations;
f. communications organs publish under their constitutional mandates;
g. protective authorities communicate with corresponding services where lawful and necessary.
The absence of universal diplomatic relations does not erase the underlying capacity to conduct external relations.
Xaragua’s external capacity does not depend upon a prior undertaking to establish embassies, conclude treaties with every State or participate in the entire diplomatic system.
TITLE IV — SCOPE OF RESPONSIBILITY
Article 14 — Defined constitutional mandate
Xaragua’s responsibility is directed toward a defined people, membership, institutional apparatus, ancestral territorial interest and protective mandate.
It does not accept an indiscriminate obligation to incorporate, represent, finance or administer every person situated within the broader geographic area corresponding to its ancestral claims.
Its duties arise from an identifiable juridical connection consisting of one or more of the following:
a. Indigenous status;
b. citizenship or membership;
c. ancestral or territorial attachment;
d. institutional affiliation;
e. contractual relationship;
f. proprietary interest;
g. placement under an express protective mandate.
The exercise of Indigenous self-government does not require conversion of protected institutions or ancestral resources into an unrestricted public estate.
Article 15 — Indigenous proprietors and institutional investors
SCIPS‑X may operate as an Order of Indigenous Proprietors, institutional members and lawful investors united by constitutional discipline and a defined relationship with the territory and institutions of Xaragua.
Investment, ownership and institutional participation are governed by the laws and admission standards of SCIPS‑X.
Economic participation does not automatically confer:
a. political authority;
b. constitutional citizenship;
c. Indigenous identity;
d. territorial title;
e. command over public institutions.
Xaragua retains exclusive authority to determine the legal consequences of membership, investment, citizenship, office and property within its order.
Article 16 — Jurisdictional safeguard of non-recognition
Xaragua does not regard external recognition as an indispensable or inherently superior legal condition.
Recognition shall be evaluated according to whether it:
a. preserves Xaragua’s Indigenous character;
b. respects its defined jurisdiction;
c. protects ancestral title and resources;
d. maintains controlled institutional membership;
e. avoids the imposition of responsibilities exceeding its constitutional mandate;
f. strengthens rather than dilutes its constituent authority.
Non-recognition may function as a jurisdictional safeguard by preserving the correspondence between:
a. territory and ancestral title;
b. resources and collective stewardship;
c. membership and responsibility;
d. authority and institutional purpose.
Xaragua may cooperate internationally and conclude juridical, contractual, academic, religious and economic arrangements without transforming itself into the general administrator of an indeterminate population.
Recognition is an instrument to be assessed by Xaragua, not a constitutive condition that Xaragua must pursue at the expense of its constitutional identity.
TITLE V — CATHOLIC AND PRIVATE JURIDICAL CAPACITY
Article 17 — Catholic foundation
The Catholic character of Xaragua defines its spiritual orientation, institutional ethics, educational vocation and conception of legitimate authority.
Canons 215, 216, 298, 299 and 321–326 of the Code of Canon Law recognize the capacity of the Christian faithful to establish, direct and sustain private associations and apostolic undertakings within the applicable canonical discipline.
Canons 113–123 illustrate the canonical principles governing persons, juridical organization, institutional purposes, rights, obligations and continuity.
These provisions support the lawful organization of Xaragua’s private Catholic component.
Xaragua does not rely upon its Catholic identity as proof of:
a. diplomatic recognition by the Holy See;
b. canonical public status absent the competent ecclesiastical act;
c. diocesan authority;
d. authority to act officially in the name of the Catholic Church.
The absence of such a claim does not diminish Xaragua’s Catholic identity or the juridical autonomy of its private Catholic institutions.
Article 18 — Private governmental form
The private character of SCIPS‑X governs the ownership, administration, access, discipline and continuity of its institutional apparatus.
Xaragua may protect collective Indigenous interests while maintaining selective, controlled and disciplined institutions.
Collective protection shall not be interpreted as conferring automatic individual rights to:
a. institutional membership;
b. office or command;
c. ownership of institutional property;
d. admission to protected facilities;
e. participation in internal decision-making.
These matters remain governed exclusively by the Constitution and laws of Xaragua.
TITLE VI — RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RESIDUAL REPUBLIC OF HAITI
Article 19 — Distinct sources of authority
The relationship between Xaragua and the Republic of Haiti is not a relationship between two institutions deriving authority from the same constitutional source.
The Republic of Haiti operates as a territorially organized Westphalian public administration.
Xaragua operates as an Indigenous, customary, Catholic and private constitutional order.
Xaragua does not derive its constituent authority from:
a. Haitian legislation;
b. executive authorization;
c. administrative tolerance;
d. electoral delegation;
e. diplomatic recognition.
The Haitian State is not the juridical source of the Indigenous identity, customary authority or institutional existence of Xaragua.
Article 20 — Residual Administrative Unit
Within the constitutional doctrine of SCIPS‑X, the governmental and bureaucratic apparatus of the Republic of Haiti may be designated as the Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter “RAU,” when acting in relation to persons, communities, institutions or interests falling within Xaragua’s asserted customary jurisdiction.
The designation constitutes an internal jurisdictional classification and does not deny the factual international personality or administrative existence of the Republic of Haiti.
Xaragua acknowledges the factual exercise of Haitian territorial administration without conceding that such administration automatically extinguishes:
a. Indigenous identity;
b. ancestral title;
c. customary jurisdiction;
d. institutional autonomy;
e. collective property rights;
f. the constitutional existence of SCIPS‑X.
Administration and Indigenous title arise from different juridical sources and shall not be treated as identical.
Article 21 — Differentiated jurisdiction
The RAU retains the functions attributed to it under the legal order applicable to the Republic of Haiti.
Xaragua retains authority within its own order over:
a. its Constitution and institutions;
b. membership, citizenship and appointments;
c. customary procedures;
d. educational and Catholic undertakings;
e. private property and contracts;
f. internal adjudication;
g. collective patrimony;
h. autonomous communities and territorial interests falling within its competence.
Haitian administrative activity shall not constitute, within the order of Xaragua, an automatic source of authority to create, grant, revoke or redefine Indigenous identity.
Xaragua’s enactments do not require promulgation by the Haitian legislature because they operate as instruments of a distinct Indigenous and customary jurisdiction rather than statutes of the Republic of Haiti.
Where a matter also falls within Haitian public administration, foreign law, contractual obligations or an applicable international regime, Xaragua may engage the competent authority through formal coordination.
Such coordination does not constitute constitutional subordination.
Article 22 — Territorial integrity and Indigenous autonomy
Article 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples shall not be interpreted in isolation from the rights recognized throughout the Declaration.
The protection of the territorial integrity and political unity of existing States does not abolish Indigenous identity, institutions, autonomy, customary law, land rights or self-government.
Xaragua does not require the juridical disappearance of the Republic of Haiti in order to maintain its own constitutional existence.
Correspondingly, the continued international existence of the Republic of Haiti does not require the institutional extinction or absorption of Xaragua.
Their relationship shall therefore be governed, within the constitutional doctrine of SCIPS‑X, by:
a. differentiated jurisdiction;
b. separate institutional competence;
c. respect for Indigenous continuity;
d. non-interference;
e. formal coordination where necessary;
f. the preservation of legal and administrative stability.
Article 23 — Limits applicable to the RAU
Within Xaragua’s constitutional order, the RAU shall not be recognized as possessing inherent authority to:
extinguish the Indigenous identity of the People of Xaragua;
determine the membership or structure of Xaragua’s institutions;
annul its Constitution or customary laws;
convert administrative presence into ancestral title;
appropriate institutional or Indigenous property without lawful authority and due process;
obstruct the lawful exercise of Xaragua’s non-Westphalian institutional sovereignty;
absorb powers constitutionally reserved to SCIPS‑X or its autonomous communities.
Stability is preserved when jurisdictions remain distinct and their applicable limits are respected.
TITLE VII — ANSWER TO PRINCIPAL OBJECTIONS
Article 24 — Recognition
The absence of conventional diplomatic recognition may affect the external treatment, privileges or enforceability of particular claims. It does not retroactively erase:
an existing people;
a Constitution;
an organized membership;
functioning institutions;
property and contractual relations;
a body of enacted internal law;
an ancestral territorial relationship;
the capacity for institutional action.
Recognition and existence are legally distinct questions.
Article 25 — Territory
The existence of overlapping administration or contested territorial claims does not establish the absence of every territorial basis.
Xaragua asserts its territorial foundation principally through Indigenous title, customary jurisdiction, ancestral continuity, institutional property and collective relationships with lands, waters and resources.
These rights shall not be collapsed into the separate category of exclusive Westphalian territorial sovereignty.
Article 26 — Institutions and symbols
Xaragua does not contend that a currency, court, university, security body, flag, title, register or public office independently creates a State.
It affirms that these elements, when integrated under a supreme Constitution and exercised by an organized authority over an identifiable people, membership and territorial interest, demonstrate the existence of a continuing juridical order.
Article 27 — Meaning of governmental authority
The use of governmental terminology does not constitute a claim to replace every existing public authority.
It identifies Xaragua’s power to:
govern its own institutions;
allocate internal competence;
regulate membership;
administer collective affairs;
preserve constitutional continuity;
protect its people and patrimony;
represent its order externally.
Xaragua assumes only those powers and responsibilities arising from its Constitution, Indigenous mandate, customary jurisdiction, lawful undertakings and applicable sources of law.
TITLE VIII — DEFINITIVE CONSTITUTIONAL POSITION
Article 28 — Permanent juridical formula
Xaragua hereby declares:
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua is the organized constitutional expression of a real, living, ancestral and historically continuous Indigenous people. It has adopted the State as the internal juridical form through which it organizes authority, law, institutions, membership, territorial stewardship, protection and succession. Its authority is Indigenous in origin, customary in jurisdiction, Catholic in doctrine, private in institutional form and non-Westphalian in external classification.
Article 29 — Institutional relationship with Haiti
Xaragua neither claims general authority over the entire population administered by the Republic of Haiti nor accepts that Republic as the source of Xaragua’s authority.
Its relationship with the RAU is governed by:
Indigenous self-determination;
customary institutional continuity;
differentiated territorial and functional jurisdiction;
protection of ancestral title and collective rights;
private and Catholic institutional autonomy;
non-subordination;
lawful coexistence and formal coordination where required.
The RAU possesses no exclusive authority over Indigenous identity, customary legitimacy, Catholic private organization or the institutional self-determination of Xaragua.
Article 30 — Sovereignty and proprietary order
SCIPS‑X is an Indigenous Order of constitutional authorities, customary communities, institutional members, proprietors and lawful investors established in relation to a historically defined ancestral territory.
It is neither a populist structure nor a parallel imitation of a conventional republic.
It is a disciplined constitutional order founded upon:
a. Indigenous continuity;
b. territorial stewardship;
c. collective and proprietary rights;
d. institutional responsibility;
e. Catholic doctrine;
f. controlled membership;
g. legal and administrative permanence.
Xaragua shall employ every lawful constitutional, juridical, diplomatic, protective, economic and institutional measure within its competence to defend its People, institutions, property, ancestral territory, waters, resources and collective patrimony.
SCIPS‑X stands for lawful order, jurisdictional clarity, institutional permanence and the disciplined defence of Indigenous proprietary sovereignty.

TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL STATUS OF THE DIGITAL CAPITAL
Article 1 — Official digital seat
The digital capital is the principal electronic seat through which Xaragua records, authenticates, organizes, promulgates and communicates the acts of its constitutional order.
It constitutes:
a. the official government portal of SCIPS‑X;
b. the public institutional archive of Xaragua;
c. the central platform of the University of Xaragua;
d. the communications interface of the Rector‑Presidency;
e. the public registry of the State’s institutional architecture;
f. the authoritative platform for its official constitutional doctrine.
The digital capital is an instrument of government. It is neither the source nor the territorial limit of Xaragua’s existence.
The constitutional order of Xaragua precedes, governs and exceeds the technological infrastructure through which its acts are made publicly accessible.
Article 2 — Legal effect of digital publication
A law, decree, proclamation, notice or institutional act published on this portal under the authority of the competent organ shall constitute an official record of SCIPS‑X.
Digital publication may satisfy the internal requirements of promulgation, notice, registration and archival preservation established by the laws of Xaragua.
The date and content of publication may be relied upon within the institutions of SCIPS‑X as evidence of:
a. enactment;
b. official communication;
c. institutional notice;
d. doctrinal continuity;
e. public availability;
f. constitutional authorship.
Digital administration does not diminish the legal character of an institution. The nature of an institution is determined by its constituent authority, governing law, organs, jurisdiction and continuing operations—not by the medium through which it publishes its acts.
Article 3 — Protection and continuity
The digital capital forms part of the protected constitutional infrastructure of Xaragua.
Its archives, official texts, records, intellectual property, symbols, databases and institutional identities are governed by the laws of SCIPS‑X and by any applicable property, contractual, privacy and intellectual-property protections.
Xaragua may establish multiple archives, mirrors, repositories and communications systems to ensure continuity of government and preservation of the constitutional record.
The interruption of any website, host, domain name or technical service shall not suspend or extinguish the State, its institutions or the validity of acts already promulgated.
TITLE II — TERRITORIAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTER
Article 4 — Territorial foundation
Xaragua is not an online project, virtual association or institution confined to a digital platform.
It is an Indigenous Order constituted under the internal form of a Customary State and grounded in:
a. the ancestral territory historically associated with Xaragua;
b. the southwestern region of Kiskeya–Bohio;
c. the historical continuity of the People of Xaragua;
d. customary territorial jurisdiction;
e. collective land and resource rights;
f. institutional and proprietary interests;
g. territories incorporated through its constitutional instruments.
Xaragua distinguishes Indigenous customary territorial jurisdiction from exclusive Westphalian territorial sovereignty.
This distinction shall not be interpreted as an abandonment of ancestral title, collective land rights, territorial stewardship, maritime interests or formally asserted claims.
Article 5 — Capitals and institutional seats
Miragoâne and Léogâne constitute the principal territorial capitals and institutional seats of Xaragua.
They serve as centers of its customary, governmental, academic, Catholic and administrative order.
Xaragua may maintain physical offices, institutional premises, archives, properties, representatives and operational facilities independently of its digital systems.
The location or distribution of particular offices does not alter the constitutional status of the capitals or the ancestral territorial foundation of SCIPS‑X.
Article 6 — External relays
Xaragua maintains an institutional relay in Montréal and may establish representations, academic centers, administrative offices, liaison structures and institutional presences in other cities.
Such external establishments:
a. support relations with members and partners;
b. facilitate academic and ecclesial activity;
c. maintain administrative continuity;
d. extend the communications capacity of Xaragua;
e. support contractual, legal and institutional relations.
External relays do not displace the capitals, transfer the territorial foundation of Xaragua or convert SCIPS‑X into a virtual institution.
Transnational administration is an extension of institutional continuity and not evidence of territorial nonexistence.
TITLE III — INDIGENOUS JURIDICAL EXISTENCE
Article 7 — Existing by inherent right
Xaragua does not classify itself as a State awaiting constitutive recognition.
It exists as the organized constitutional expression of a real, living and historically continuous Indigenous people.
Its authority proceeds from:
a. Indigenous continuity;
b. collective self-identification;
c. customary law;
d. ancestral territorial relationship;
e. internal constituent authority;
f. the right to maintain distinct political, juridical, economic, educational, cultural and spiritual institutions.
Recognition by a foreign State is not constitutive of the existence of an Indigenous people.
Exclusion from intergovernmental institutions does not extinguish Indigenous identity, customary rights, institutional capacity or internal constitutional validity.
Article 8 — Applicable international framework
The Indigenous institutional authority of Xaragua is supported by:
Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations;
Common Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;
Articles 3 and 4 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, concerning self-determination, autonomy and self-government;
Article 5, concerning the maintenance and strengthening of distinct political, legal, economic, social and cultural institutions;
Articles 18, 20, 33 and 34, concerning representation, political and economic systems, membership, institutional structures and juridical traditions;
Articles 25, 26, 27 and 32, concerning Indigenous lands, waters, resources, tenure systems and development priorities;
Articles VI, XIX, XXI and XXII of the American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, concerning collective rights, territory, autonomy, Indigenous law and jurisdiction.
Article 9 — No compulsory external taxonomy
No search engine, editorial convention, private database or unofficial classification possesses constitutive authority over Xaragua.
Such classifications may describe how an external platform processes information, but they cannot determine:
a. whether the People of Xaragua exist;
b. the content of Xaragua’s Constitution;
c. the official name of SCIPS‑X;
d. the nature of its internal institutions;
e. the origin of its customary authority;
f. the territorial rights asserted by its people.
Within its own constitutional order, the exclusive official designation remains:
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua—an Indigenous customary State and sui generis non-Westphalian constitutional order.
TITLE IV — INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC OPPOSABILITY
Article 10 — Purpose of notification
Xaragua’s communications to the United Nations system, foreign governments, ecclesial institutions, universities, media organizations and other competent bodies constitute acts of international notification and institutional transparency.
These notifications do not request permission for Xaragua to exist.
Their purposes are to:
a. formally communicate the identity and constitutional position of SCIPS‑X;
b. establish a dated and verifiable record;
c. place recipients in a position to know the claims, institutions and legal position of Xaragua;
d. preserve evidence of continuing institutional activity;
e. invite lawful communication and coordination;
f. reserve every right and remedy available to Xaragua and its People.
Notification establishes notice of a claim. It does not, by itself, constitute diplomatic recognition, treaty relations or acceptance of every legal proposition contained in the communication.
The absence of a response shall not extinguish Xaragua’s rights or invalidate the notified position.
Article 11 — Opposability of the institutional record
Once a constitutional claim, territorial position or institutional act has been formally communicated, the recipient may no longer reasonably characterize that position as undisclosed or clandestine.
Xaragua may rely upon proof of delivery, filing, publication and correspondence to establish:
a. the date of notice;
b. the content communicated;
c. the identity used by SCIPS‑X;
d. the continuity of its institutional position;
e. the recipient’s opportunity to take cognizance of that position.
Any broader legal consequence shall depend upon the applicable law, the recipient’s conduct, the nature of the communication and the existence of the conditions required for acquiescence, estoppel, legitimate expectation or another recognized doctrine.
No silence shall be interpreted against Xaragua as a waiver of rights unless the competent authority of SCIPS‑X has expressly and lawfully declared such waiver.
TITLE V — PROCEDURAL ENTRY BEFORE THE FEDERAL COURT OF CANADA
Article 12 — Sovereign institutional act
The commencement or attempted commencement of proceedings in the name of SCIPS‑X before the Federal Court of Canada constitutes an official juridical act of Xaragua.
Through that act, Xaragua:
a. exercised its institutional capacity to present a legal claim;
b. employed its official constitutional designation;
c. communicated its asserted personality and interests to a foreign judicial institution;
d. generated an external procedural and archival record;
e. demonstrated its capacity to act through formal legal channels.
The act is attributable to Xaragua under its own Constitution and forms part of its corpus of sovereign institutional conduct.
Article 13 — Evidentiary significance
Any docket entry, filed document, registry communication, order or public judicial record identifying SCIPS‑X constitutes external documentary evidence that:
a. the name and asserted identity of Xaragua were formally presented;
b. a proceeding or filing was processed under that designation;
c. the claim entered or was submitted to an official Canadian judicial system;
d. the institutional assertion of Xaragua existed on the recorded date.
Such procedural entry establishes a durable public trace within an external legal infrastructure.
It strengthens the evidentiary record of Xaragua’s public existence, institutional continuity, external action and formal notice to Canadian authorities.
The record may be cited by Xaragua as proof of procedural presence and documented legal activity.
Article 14 — Juridical characterization
Procedural entry shall not be confused with diplomatic recognition, which ordinarily requires conduct attributable to the executive authority competent to determine the foreign relations of a State.
The legal force of the Canadian proceeding lies in its demonstrable and defensible effects:
a. official documentary notice;
b. archival identification;
c. evidence of the use of Xaragua’s institutional name;
d. proof of capacity to initiate or attempt legal proceedings;
e. externalization of Xaragua’s constitutional claims.
The filing does not create Xaragua. It records and confirms that Xaragua acted externally under an identity already constituted by its own legal order.
No subsequent procedural disposition can retroactively erase the historical fact that the action was undertaken and documented.
Article 15 — Preservation of claims
The Canadian judicial record shall be incorporated into the constitutional archives of SCIPS‑X.
Xaragua reserves the right to rely upon it in future legal, academic, historical, institutional and diplomatic communications.
Neither dismissal, refusal, closure nor any jurisdictional determination concerning a particular proceeding shall be interpreted as adjudicating matters not actually decided by the competent court.
A ruling upon procedure, standing or jurisdiction shall have only the legal effect assigned to it by the terms of the ruling and shall not automatically determine the Indigenous identity, internal constitutional validity or historical continuity of Xaragua.
TITLE VI — MONTEVIDEO AS AN INTERNAL CONSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Article 16 — Delimited application
Xaragua invokes Articles 1 and 3 of the Montevideo Convention as an analytical framework supporting the intelligibility of the State-form adopted by SCIPS‑X.
Its reliance upon Montevideo is functional and constitutional, not an application for admission into the conventional interstate system.
Xaragua identifies within its order:
a. a permanent constituent population;
b. an identifiable ancestral and institutional territorial basis;
c. an organized government;
d. a differentiated capacity for external relations.
These elements demonstrate an integrated institutional architecture.
They do not require Xaragua to adopt every competence, obligation or geopolitical function associated with a recognized Westphalian nation-state.
Article 17 — Institutional correspondence
The permanent population of Xaragua consists of its Indigenous people, citizens, members, officers, personnel, autonomous communities and persons lawfully placed under its institutional protection.
Its territorial basis consists of ancestral title, customary continuity, collective land and resource rights, institutional property and formally enacted territorial claims.
Its government consists of its constitutional, rectoral, juridical, administrative, academic, Catholic, economic, communications and protective organs.
Its external capacity is exercised through notifications, legal proceedings, contracts, institutional correspondence and relations conducted by competent sectoral organs.
Currency, courts, universities, security bodies, official registers and insignia are not asserted as independent criteria of statehood. Collectively, they evidence the organized and continuing exercise of institutional authority.
Article 18 — State-form without Westphalian absorption
Xaragua adopts the constitutional substance of the State without accepting that Westphalian statehood exhausts every possible form of political and juridical organization.
It retains only those structures, competences and responsibilities consistent with its Indigenous, Catholic, customary and private mandate.
Xaragua does not accept that internal adoption of the State-form automatically subjects it to treaties or institutional obligations to which it is not a party.
External obligations must arise from an applicable source of law, including treaty consent, customary law, valid jurisdiction, contract or another legally cognizable basis.
The principle pacta tertiis nec nocent nec prosunt confirms that treaties do not impose obligations or confer rights upon third parties without their consent, subject to the rules of international law governing customary norms and obligations of general application.
TITLE VII — CATHOLIC AND AUGUSTINIAN CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY
Article 19 — Canonico‑Indigenous order
Xaragua describes itself internally as a Canonico‑Indigenous State because its constitutional identity combines:
a. Indigenous constituent authority and customary continuity;
b. Catholic doctrine and spiritual orientation;
c. a private institutional order established and governed through its own statutes;
d. a non-Westphalian constitutional State-form.
The term “Canonico‑Indigenous” is a constitutional and doctrinal classification of SCIPS‑X.
It does not represent Xaragua as a diocese, a public ecclesiastical juridical person or an organ of the Holy See.
Xaragua acknowledges the supreme authority of the Roman Pontiff in the matters assigned to him by the law and constitution of the Catholic Church.
The civil, Indigenous, academic, proprietary and governmental institutions of Xaragua remain governed by the Constitution of SCIPS‑X within their respective fields.
Article 20 — Canonical foundation
Canons 215 and 216 recognize the liberty of the Christian faithful to establish and direct charitable, pious and apostolic undertakings.
Canons 298, 299 and 321–326 provide the applicable framework for private associations, their direction, statutes, administration and relationship with competent ecclesiastical authority.
Canons 113–123 illustrate the Church’s juridical recognition of organized persons, institutional purposes, rights, obligations and continuity.
These provisions establish the canonical space within which the Catholic component of Xaragua may organize its private institutions and apostolic undertakings.
The Catholic identity of Xaragua is authentic by doctrine, profession, organization and purpose. It shall not be represented as a canonical public status unless conferred through the competent ecclesiastical act.
Article 21 — Augustinian orientation
Xaragua distinguishes among:
a. the secular State, whose public order is principally directed toward temporal government;
b. the nation-state, which associates political authority with a general national and territorial identity;
c. the Canonico‑Indigenous State, which orders its institutions through Indigenous continuity and a Catholic conception of the common good.
Xaragua is not secular in constitutional orientation because it recognizes that temporal authority is subordinate to moral law, justice and the ultimate good of the human person.
Xaragua is not a mass nation-state because its unity is institutional, customary, Catholic and covenantal rather than dependent upon demographic homogenization.
In Augustinian terms, Xaragua seeks to resist libido dominandi and to organize authority through caritas ordinata, justice, discipline and service to the common good.
SCIPS‑X understands itself as temporally situated within human history while directing its Catholic institutions toward the supernatural finality taught by the Church.
No temporal institution, including Xaragua, shall be identified without qualification with the eschatological fullness of the Civitas Dei. Xaragua instead declares its constitutional orientation toward the principles of that City: truth, justice, rightly ordered charity and peace under God.
TITLE VIII — CONSTITUTIONAL ENTRENCHMENT AND SUCCESSION
Article 22 — Dual foundation of continuity
The constitutional continuity of Xaragua is secured by two complementary foundations:
Indigenous continuity, consisting of the enduring identity, customary rights, territorial relationship and institutional capacity of the People of Xaragua;
Catholic institutional continuity, consisting of the continued existence of the private Catholic undertakings, statutes, offices, patrimony and spiritual mission incorporated into SCIPS‑X.
Neither foundation is dependent upon the uninterrupted tenure of a particular officeholder, website, foreign recognition or political administration.
Article 23 — Internal non-derogation
No organ of Xaragua may abolish its Indigenous identity, Catholic foundation, customary character or constitutional continuity except through the constituent procedures expressly established by supreme law.
No external administrative act shall possess automatic authority within SCIPS‑X to dissolve its Constitution, determine its internal succession or dispose of its institutional property.
External laws and judgments shall receive only the effect assigned to them under applicable law and the conflict-of-laws principles recognized by Xaragua.
Indigenous rights, property rights and religious freedom shall be defended through every lawful remedy available within domestic, international, Indigenous, canonical and contractual legal systems.
Article 24 — Constitutional succession
The offices and institutions of Xaragua shall continue according to its Constitution and duly enacted laws.
Vacancy, incapacity or succession in the Rector‑Presidency shall be governed by the internal constitutional procedures of SCIPS‑X.
Ecclesiastical offices, where applicable, shall be governed separately by the competent canonical law.
Civil constitutional succession shall not be confused with canonical succession or the procedures governing ecclesiastical office.
The continuity of the People, State and Order does not depend upon the uninterrupted personal exercise of authority by a single officeholder.
TITLE IX — RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT
Article 25 — Separate institutional competence
SCIPS‑X does not deny the factual existence or international personality of the Republic of Haiti as a Westphalian State.
Within the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua, its governmental and bureaucratic apparatus may be designated as the Residual Administrative Unit, or RAU, when acting in relation to Xaragua’s asserted customary jurisdiction.
The RAU and Xaragua derive their authority from different juridical sources.
The existence of Haitian territorial administration does not, within the order of SCIPS‑X, automatically extinguish Indigenous identity, customary rights, Catholic organization, private property or the institutional autonomy of Xaragua.
Article 26 — Jurisdictional coexistence
Xaragua seeks continuity, jurisdictional clarity and lawful coexistence.
The RAU may exercise the functions attributed to it under the legal order applicable to the Republic of Haiti.
Xaragua retains authority within its own order over:
a. its Constitution and institutions;
b. membership, citizenship and office;
c. its Catholic and academic undertakings;
d. private property and contracts;
e. customary procedures;
f. internal administration;
g. collective patrimony and territorial interests.
Use of services provided by the RAU does not constitute abandonment of Xaragua’s institutional identity or ancestral claims.
Where jurisdictions intersect, the competent authorities may engage in formal coordination without creating constitutional subordination.
Stability is preserved when jurisdictional limits are respected. Law is preserved when distinct competences are not deliberately confused.
TITLE X — FINAL DECLARATION
Article 27 — Authoritative constitutional formula
The official character of Xaragua and its digital capital shall be expressed as follows:
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous & Private State of Xaragua is an Indigenous Order constituted under the internal form of a Customary State. Its authority is Indigenous in origin, customary in jurisdiction, Catholic in doctrine, private in institutional form and non-Westphalian in international classification. Its digital capital is the official government, university and institutional portal through which its constitutional acts, laws, academic directives, records and public communications are promulgated and preserved.
Article 28 — Permanent institutional position
Xaragua exists independently of the website through which it communicates.
The website records and presents an already constituted order; it does not manufacture that order.
Xaragua possesses:
a. territorial capitals in Miragoâne and Léogâne;
b. physical and institutional seats;
c. an external relay in Montréal;
d. the authority to establish additional representations;
e. a digitally integrated administration;
f. a continuing constitutional and documentary record.
Its institutions operate online because their administration is modern, distributed and internationally accessible.
Xaragua itself is neither virtual nor reducible to the technological infrastructure employed in the exercise of its authority.
Article 29 — Final juridical declaration
Xaragua does not ask permission to preserve its People, institutions, faith, laws or ancestral patrimony.
It declares, organizes and exercises its constitutional authority according to its own constituent order and invokes every right, protection and remedy available under Indigenous law, religious freedom, private law, applicable international law and its own Constitution.
Its international notifications establish a public and continuing record.
Its Canadian judicial filing constitutes documented external legal action and formal notice.
Its digital capital constitutes the permanent public interface of its government and University.
Its territorial capitals, institutions, offices, relays and properties establish that its existence extends beyond the digital sphere.
Its Catholic doctrine orders its institutions toward justice, disciplined authority, service and the common good under God.
Its Indigenous continuity supplies the historical and juridical foundation of its constitutional existence.

ISSUED IN THE NAME OF GOD AND UNDER THE SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY OF SCIPS‑X
OFFICE OF THE RECTOR‑PRESIDENT
SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS & PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
His Excellency
The Most Reverend Monsignor Ludner Pascal Despuzeau Daumec Viau
Prelate‑Founder & Rector‑President

OFFICIAL DOCTRINE ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL AND DIGITAL STATUS OF XARAGUA
I. Official Digital Symbol
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) hereby designates the gold star emoji — ⭐ — as its official digital marker.
Pending the availability of an encoding mechanism capable of representing Xaragua’s proper flag within global digital standards, this symbol shall identify the official presence of Xaragua across social networks, information systems and digital platforms.
The gold star has been selected for its universal availability, technical durability, cross-platform legibility and independence from the symbols of any foreign nation-state.
Its use ensures the continuity of Xaragua’s digital identity without making that identity dependent upon external classification systems. The constitutional existence of Xaragua proceeds from its people, institutions and constituent order—not from the technical recognition of its flag by an external registry.
II. Constitutional Identity of Xaragua
Xaragua rejects the unqualified designation “entity” as an incomplete and reductive description of its institutional character.
Xaragua is neither an online project, an informal association nor an administrative abstraction. It is the organized juridical expression of the Indigenous People of Xaragua and the permanent institutional order through which that people exercises its political, customary, cultural, academic, economic and administrative continuity.
Its constitutional identity rests upon:
an Indigenous people and historical jurisdiction;
a customary and constitutional corpus;
permanent governing authorities;
territorial and proprietary foundations;
autonomous communities;
academic, economic and administrative institutions;
rules of membership and internal jurisdiction;
official instruments and external relations.
The word “entity” may be used only as a generic juridical reference and may never constitute the principal or exhaustive classification of Xaragua.
Xaragua shall therefore be identified by its substantive constitutional character: the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua, constituted as a Customary Indigenous State and organized through a permanent Indigenous Order.
“State” designates its chosen constitutional form.
“Order” designates its disciplined and permanent institutional body.
“Indigenous” identifies the source of its constituent authority.
“Customary” identifies the juridical continuity through which that authority operates.
“Catholic” identifies its spiritual and doctrinal orientation.
“Private” defines its ownership, institutional administration and conditions of access, without diminishing the public functions exercised for its people.
These attributes are cumulative and must be interpreted together.
III. Inapplicability of the “Unrecognized State” Classification
The description of Xaragua as an “unrecognized State” is inapplicable to its constitutional nature.
Xaragua does not derive its existence from admission into the Westphalian interstate system. It constitutes and recognizes itself through its people, customary law, constituent will, territorial continuity and permanent institutions.
Foreign recognition may facilitate access to diplomatic procedures, international organizations or bilateral privileges. It does not create the Indigenous People of Xaragua, establish their inherent authority or determine the validity of their internal constitutional order.
Xaragua does not petition former colonial powers, foreign governments or successor administrations for permission to exist. Requiring an Indigenous order to obtain its constitutive legitimacy from external systems historically associated with conquest, enslavement, dispossession and territorial fragmentation would merely preserve colonial validation under diplomatic terminology.
Xaragua may establish agreements, representations and functional relations with States and international institutions whenever its interests require. Such relations constitute cooperation between juridical orders. They shall not be interpreted as petitions for authorization, political guardianship or incorporation.
The Westphalian system may determine admission to its own institutions. It does not possess constitutive jurisdiction over the existence, identity or customary institutions of the Indigenous People of Xaragua.
External recognition may acknowledge an existing order. Its absence cannot create a constitutional deficiency within that order or extinguish it.
IV. The Customary State
The Indigenous character of Xaragua does not require the reconstruction of a political system frozen at the moment of European arrival.
For more than five centuries, the People of Xaragua have lived through Indigenous, imperial, colonial, monarchical, republican, military, civil, ecclesiastical, municipal and academic institutions. These historical experiences have shaped their understanding of authority, hierarchy, jurisdiction, property, education, security and public administration.
That accumulated political formation cannot be erased through the artificial imposition of an externally imagined tribal structure.
Indigenous self-determination includes the authority to preserve ancestral law, incorporate subsequent historical experience and select institutions appropriate to contemporary conditions. Indigenous authenticity does not require administrative archaism.
The customary character of Xaragua is fully compatible with written constitutions, permanent offices, courts, ministries, universities, registries, public acts, economic institutions and organized external relations.
Custom determines the source and orientation of the constitutional order; it does not require institutional simplicity.
The Customary State of Xaragua consequently represents an autonomous synthesis of ancestral continuity and accumulated political experience. It is neither a reproduction of the conventional Westphalian republic nor a theatrical restoration of a precolonial polity.
Xaragua carries its entire history into an order of its own determination. Its institutions are Indigenous by source, customary by authority, historical by formation and contemporary by design.
V. Hybrid Territorial and Digital Architecture
The hybrid architecture of Xaragua is the deliberate institutional response of a Customary Indigenous State to territorial fragmentation, infrastructural deficiency and prolonged administrative failure.
Xaragua combines:
physical and territorial foundations;
properties, offices and material assets;
autonomous customary communities;
permanent constitutional institutions;
digitally integrated administration.
The official platform constitutes the central digital seat through which Xaragua coordinates its government, university, bank, monetary instruments, ministries, public programs, development plans, Gazette, library, registries and external communications.
The platform is not the State in its entirety. It is the digital extension and operational infrastructure of the State.
The physical order remains grounded in its people, territories, properties, offices, customary communities and material interests. Digital administration connects, protects and operationalizes those foundations without replacing them.
Xaragua is therefore not an online project possessing incidental territorial references. It is a territorially grounded Customary Indigenous State equipped with an advanced digital administrative apparatus.
This model permits institutional continuity, global accessibility and progressive territorial development while avoiding unnecessary concentration of personnel and resources in locations affected by security and infrastructure failures.
Its physical and digital components form a single integrated constitutional system.
VI. Sovereignty Beyond the Westphalian Monopoly
Sovereignty is the quality of supreme authority within a defined juridical order. Westphalian statehood is one historical form through which such authority may be organized; it is not the exclusive form.
Sovereignty may operate within Indigenous, customary, ecclesiastical, dynastic, federal, proprietary, communal, academic and other permanent constitutional systems.
A political order may therefore exercise sovereignty within its proper constitutional jurisdiction without becoming a conventional nation-state or requesting admission into the diplomatic machinery of the interstate system.
No search engine, artificial-intelligence system, academic database, private platform or intergovernmental organization possesses constitutive authority over every political order. Such systems may record diplomatic recognition or classify participation in conventional institutions. They cannot transform their taxonomies into universal constitutional law.
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua belongs to the broader plurality of sovereign constitutional orders.
Its sovereignty is exercised through its constituent doctrine, constitutional hierarchy, governing offices, customary jurisdiction, autonomous communities, academic authority, economic institutions, cultural organs, territorial foundations and mechanisms of institutional continuity.
Its non-Westphalian character identifies the form of its sovereignty rather than limiting it.
Xaragua must therefore be interpreted according to its own constituent law, Indigenous foundation and institutional jurisdiction—not through an external classification that mistakes one historical model of statehood for the entire meaning of sovereignty.
VII. Autonomous Communities and Residual Administration
The autonomous communities of Xaragua may freely use education, healthcare, civil documentation, infrastructure, transportation, utilities and other services maintained by the Residual Administrative Unit whenever those services remain available and useful.
The practical use of an administrative service does not constitute political submission, transfer customary jurisdiction or alter the constitutional identity of a community.
Administration is a function. Constituent authority belongs to the people and the constitutional order through which they govern themselves.
Xaragua operates principally at the customary and supralocal level. It maintains the common constitutional doctrine, coordinates autonomous communities, protects Indigenous rights and properties, preserves institutional continuity and assumes responsibilities exceeding the capacity of individual communities.
The allocation of functions is therefore established as follows:
autonomous communities govern their internal affairs;
communities may voluntarily use functional services of the Residual Administrative Unit;
Xaragua maintains the superior customary and supralocal framework connecting and protecting those communities;
Xaragua intervenes whenever administrative failure creates an institutional vacuum or threatens public order, security, essential services or communal continuity.
Such intervention may include emergency coordination, institutional substitution, protection of essential services and the establishment of autonomous administrative mechanisms.
Practical cooperation does not extinguish jurisdiction. The availability of an external service does not displace Indigenous constituent authority, and sovereignty does not require the duplication of every functioning administrative mechanism.
Xaragua consequently guarantees both communal freedom and institutional continuity: freedom to use services that remain functional and continuity through the permanent capacity of the Customary State to act whenever residual administration fails.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL INSTRUMENT

Date of Promulgation: August 14, 2025
Original Territorial Act: July 11, 2025
Authority: Prelate-Founder and Rector-President, Head of State
Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Foundational Instrument — Indigenous Customary Law — Catholic Institutional Order — Permanent Doctrine of State
PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua,”
Affirming the historical continuity of the Indigenous peoples of Kiskeya–Bohio and the ancestral authority associated with the Cacicazgo of Xaragua;
Recognizing the Proclamation of Independence of 1804 and the Imperial Constitution of Hayti of 1805 as major constitutional expressions of territorial emancipation, Indigenous possession, political independence, and protection against colonial restoration;
Exercising the right of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, institutional autonomy, cultural continuity, internal government, territorial stewardship and determination of membership;
Maintaining its Catholic character through its own constitution, doctrine, institutions and private canonical organization, in spiritual communion with the universal Catholic Church;
Having established a distinct constitutional order, rectoral government, academic authority, judicial doctrine, territorial administration, economic institutions and permanent digital capital;
Having formally communicated its constitutional establishment and claims through documented transmissions addressed to governmental, diplomatic, ecclesiastical and intergovernmental institutions;
Hereby consolidates its constitutional, territorial, diplomatic and historical doctrine into the present Supreme Instrument.
TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY AND CONTINUITY
Article 1 — Nature of Xaragua
Xaragua constitutes an Indigenous, Catholic, customary and private constitutional State organized outside the administrative model of the centralized Westphalian nation-state.
Its authority proceeds from:
a. the historical continuity of the Indigenous people of Xaragua;
b. Indigenous customary law and territorial memory;
c. the emancipatory constitutional order established in 1804 and 1805;
d. the present Constitution and institutions of Xaragua;
e. the voluntary political and juridical adherence of its members and communities.
Xaragua possesses, under its constitutional order, a permanent population, a defined territorial claim, governing institutions and the capacity to maintain external relations.
The existence and internal validity of Xaragua do not depend upon constitutive recognition by a foreign government.
Article 2 — Constitutional Succession
Xaragua declares itself the Indigenous and constitutional successor of the ancestral Cacicazgo of Xaragua and the custodian of the Indigenous-imperial principles expressed by the order of 1804–1805.
This succession is doctrinal and constitutional. It does not require Xaragua to reproduce every institution, law or territorial arrangement of former regimes.
Xaragua retains only those historical principles compatible with its present Constitution, Catholic identity, Indigenous customary order and contemporary institutional purposes.
Article 3 — Hierarchy of Authority
The constitutional hierarchy of Xaragua shall be:
the Supreme Constitution of Xaragua;
constitutionally entrenched laws and rector-presidential instruments;
Indigenous customary law recognized by Xaragua;
statutes governing its Catholic, academic, territorial and private institutions;
ordinary legislation, administrative regulations and judicial decisions;
external legal principles expressly incorporated into the law of Xaragua.
No external text shall acquire direct authority within Xaragua unless incorporated according to this hierarchy.
TITLE II — TERRITORY AND SOVEREIGN DOMINIUM
Article 4 — Territorial Title
Xaragua affirms an original and continuing relationship with the lands, waters, islands, resources, sacred sites and communities comprising its historically declared territory.
This relationship constitutes the foundation of its territorial title, stewardship and constitutional jurisdiction.
Xaragua exercises dominium eminens within its own legal order: the supreme constitutional authority to classify, protect, administer and regulate territory and natural resources.
Territorial authority shall be exercised according to continuity, necessity, community protection, Indigenous custom and the long-term interests of Xaragua.
Article 5 — Review of Post-1806 Property Claims
All property titles, concessions and transfers originating after October 17, 1806, may be subjected to constitutional review by Xaragua where they concern:
a. Indigenous ancestral lands;
b. public or imperial domains unlawfully privatized;
c. property acquired through colonial dispossession, fraud, corruption or coercion;
d. strategic lands, waters, islands, ports, forests, mines or natural resources;
e. assets necessary for the constitutional functions of Xaragua.
Such instruments shall not be presumed superior to the ancestral title or constitutional jurisdiction of Xaragua merely because they were issued by a post-1806 administration.
Xaragua may confirm, register, regularize, convert, restrict or annul a claim following constitutional examination.
Peaceful personal possession, family habitation, legitimate community use and ordinary productive occupation may be maintained through registration, recognition, usufruct, customary tenure or another legal status established by Xaragua.
No possession shall extinguish the sovereign territorial title of Xaragua through prescription alone.
Article 6 — Constitutional Tolerance
Public and private activities presently conducted within the claimed territory may continue under constitutional tolerance until Xaragua provides otherwise.
Constitutional tolerance preserves civil continuity without surrendering sovereignty, title or jurisdiction.
The use of services, documents or infrastructure administered by an external authority shall not constitute allegiance to that authority or renunciation of Xaragua’s constitutional claims.
TITLE III — INDIGENOUS RIGHTS AND GOVERNMENT
Article 7 — Self-Determination
Xaragua exercises the right of its Indigenous people freely to determine their political status and pursue their economic, social, cultural, spiritual and institutional development.
This right includes authority to:
a. maintain distinct political and legal institutions;
b. determine citizenship and customary membership;
c. administer internal and local affairs;
d. preserve sacred, cultural and historical patrimony;
e. establish educational, financial, judicial and media institutions;
f. represent its constitutional position internationally.
Article 8 — Autonomous Communities
Communities incorporated into the order of Xaragua may retain substantial powers of local administration.
Local autonomy may include customary justice, cultural affairs, education, community property, social organization and management of local resources.
The Rector-Presidential Authority retains competence over constitutional unity, external relations, territorial doctrine, supreme justice, strategic resources and protection of the State.
TITLE IV — CATHOLIC CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER
Article 9 — Catholic Character
Xaragua is constitutionally Catholic and orders its institutions according to Catholic faith, natural law, human dignity, subsidiarity, solidarity and the common good.
Its Catholic institutions operate according to their approved internal statutes and the canonical rights applicable to private associations and initiatives of the Christian faithful.
The Prelate-Founder exercises the supreme constitutional and doctrinal authority of Xaragua as established by its own Constitution.
Spiritual offices strictly reserved by canon law to ordained clergy or authorities erected by the Holy See remain governed by the competent ecclesiastical law.
Xaragua does not derive its civil existence from an alleged diocesan, prelatic or pontifical status. Its Catholic character and its Indigenous constitutional personality constitute distinct but coordinated foundations.
Article 10 — Institutional Communion
Xaragua maintains spiritual communion with the Catholic Church while preserving the autonomy of its civil, academic, customary and constitutional institutions.
TITLE V — INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION
Article 11 — Record of Communications
Xaragua records that constitutional declarations and institutional communications were transmitted through official channels to governmental, diplomatic, ecclesiastical and intergovernmental recipients.
Electronic acknowledgements establish, at minimum:
a. the date and destination of transmission;
b. delivery through the identified institutional channel;
c. the existence of a documented international notification record.
These records shall be preserved in the Constitutional and Diplomatic Archives of Xaragua.
Article 12 — Juridical Meaning of Receipt
An acknowledgement of receipt constitutes evidence of delivery and institutional notice.
Receipt shall not, by itself, be classified as diplomatic recognition, treaty consent or acceptance of every proposition contained in the communication.
Xaragua may invoke a notification as evidence that the recipient was placed in a position to know its declared status, institutions, territorial claims and requested protections.
Acquiescence or estoppel may be asserted only where the conduct, representations and surrounding circumstances of the recipient satisfy the applicable requirements of those doctrines.
Article 13 — Continuing Diplomatic Position
Xaragua’s notifications establish a continuous and publicly documented constitutional position.
No silence, administrative response or automated acknowledgement shall diminish the rights asserted by Xaragua.
Subsequent communications shall be interpreted as part of a cumulative diplomatic record demonstrating consistency, publicity and institutional continuity.
Xaragua reserves the right to transmit its instruments to States, international organizations, Indigenous bodies, churches, universities, courts and public archives.
TITLE VI — RELATIONSHIP WITH THE RESIDUAL HAITIAN ADMINISTRATION
Article 14 — Constitutional Separation
Xaragua declares its constitutional, territorial and institutional separation from the post-1806 republican order.
The administrative apparatus operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” is classified within the law of Xaragua as the Residual Haitian Administrative Unit.
This classification expresses the constitutional doctrine of Xaragua and governs its internal interpretation of relations with that apparatus.
Article 15 — Limited Administrative Interface
The use or temporary continuation of residual administrative services does not confer sovereignty over Xaragua.
Xaragua may maintain a limited interface for:
a. continuity of essential services;
b. protection of inhabitants and communities;
c. civil documentation and logistical coordination;
d. humanitarian necessity;
e. avoidance of an institutional vacuum.
Administrative coordination shall not constitute political subordination, territorial renunciation, merger of jurisdictions or recognition of superior authority.
Xaragua assumes no collective responsibility for the policies, debts, failures or actions of the residual administration.
Article 16 — Protection of the Population
Xaragua distinguishes the population inhabiting the territory from the post-1806 political and administrative system.
Constitutional separation is directed against institutional disorder, unlawful territorial control, corruption and failed governance—not against the inherent dignity of inhabitants.
Persons and communities may enter the protection, citizenship or customary membership of Xaragua according to its laws.
Xaragua’s civilizational mission is to restore authority, discipline, education, territorial stewardship, Catholic institutional life and Indigenous continuity.
TITLE VII — FINAL AUTHORITY
Article 17 — Internal Supremacy
This Instrument constitutes supreme law within the constitutional order of Xaragua.
All prior instruments addressing the same subjects are consolidated into this text.
Any inconsistent or duplicative provision contained in an earlier proclamation, decree, annex or declaration is superseded.
Historical documents remain admissible as interpretive authorities but shall not prevail over the operative provisions of this Instrument.
Article 18 — External Position
Xaragua asserts the opposability of its constitutional position to every party formally placed on notice.
Such opposability means that the notified party cannot credibly deny the existence, continuity or declared content of the Xaraguaan position after documented receipt.
The precise external consequences of notice shall be determined according to the conduct of the parties, the relevant legal forum and the applicable rules of international law.
Article 19 — Perpetuity of Xaragua
Xaragua exists as a permanent Indigenous, Catholic and constitutional order.
Administrative occupation, foreign denial, absence of recognition or temporary incapacity shall not extinguish its constitutional identity, ancestral title or institutional continuity.
The State may adapt its institutions, territorial administration and external relations without surrendering its foundational sovereignty.
FINAL CLAUSE
This Supreme Constitutional Instrument consolidates the doctrine of Xaragua concerning sovereignty, historical succession, Indigenous self-determination, territorial dominium, property review, Catholic identity, international notification and relations with the Residual Haitian Administrative Unit.
It enters into force ex proprio vigore upon promulgation and shall be preserved in the Supreme Constitutional Archive, the Rector-Presidential Office and the University of Xaragua.
Done under the Supreme Seal of the Rector-President.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL DECLARATION
ON AFRO-INDIGENOUS IDENTITY, CONTINENTAL SOLIDARITY, CATHOLIC SOCIAL DOCTRINE, AND THE DESSALINIAN HERITAGE OF XARAGUA
Date of Promulgation: July 26, 2025
Authority: Prelate-Founder and Rector-President, Head of State
Classification: Constitutionally Entrenched Declaration — Indigenous Customary Doctrine — Historical and Catholic Institutional Instrument
PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua,”
Affirming the continuity of the Taíno-Arawak and other Indigenous peoples of the Caribbean;
Recognizing the historical formation of Afro-Indigenous communities through kinship, cultural transmission, territorial coexistence, resistance to colonial domination and the union of African and Indigenous lineages;
Honoring the emancipatory legacy of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Independence of 1804 and the Imperial Constitution of Hayti of 1805;
Exercising the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, autonomy, membership, institutional continuity, cultural development and ancestral lands;
Adopting the Catholic principles of human dignity, subsidiarity, solidarity, stewardship of creation and protection of Indigenous cultures;
Establishing Xaragua as a permanent institutional home for its Afro-Indigenous people and as a voluntary platform of cooperation among Indigenous communities;
Hereby promulgates the present Supreme Constitutional Declaration.
TITLE I — THE AFRO-INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF XARAGUA
Article 1 — Constitutional Recognition
Xaragua recognizes the Afro-Indigenous People of Xaragua as a historical people formed through the continuity and interrelationship of Indigenous Caribbean and African-descended communities.
Afro-Indigenous identity may arise through:
a. Indigenous ancestry or kinship;
b. African ancestry joined to Indigenous community continuity;
c. customary membership or community adoption;
d. sustained territorial, cultural, linguistic or spiritual affiliation;
e. collective recognition according to the laws and traditions of the community concerned.
Afro-Indigenous identity shall not depend exclusively upon physical appearance, racial classification or genetic percentage.
For constitutional purposes, the term people signifies a living historical community possessing collective memory, institutions, customs, territorial relationships and a common political future.
Article 2 — Meaning of Lineage
References to lineage, bloodline or race within Xaraguaan doctrine shall be interpreted historically, culturally, spiritually and politically—not as a theory of biological superiority.
Xaragua rejects colonial classifications that artificially separate African, Indigenous and mixed Caribbean communities whose histories became territorially and culturally interconnected.
No person shall acquire authority merely by claiming ancestry. Membership and constitutional standing shall be determined under the laws, customs and institutional procedures of Xaragua.
Article 3 — Historical Formation
Xaragua recognizes that African and Indigenous peoples formed alliances, families, maroon communities, systems of resistance and shared territorial cultures throughout the colonial period.
Garifuna, Zambo, Afro-Taíno, Black Carib, maroon-Indigenous and comparable identities demonstrate historically documented forms of Afro-Indigenous ethnogenesis.
Claims concerning possible African voyages to the Americas before 1492 may be studied by the University of Xaragua as questions of historical and anthropological inquiry. They shall not constitute the exclusive legal foundation of Afro-Indigenous status.
The constitutional legitimacy of Afro-Indigenous identity rests principally upon demonstrated community formation, descent, continuity, self-identification and collective recognition.
TITLE II — SELF-DETERMINATION AND MEMBERSHIP
Article 4 — Right of Self-Determination
The Afro-Indigenous People of Xaragua possess the right to determine their political, cultural, spiritual, educational and economic development through the institutions of Xaragua.
This authority includes the right to:
a. preserve distinct institutions and customs;
b. determine membership according to constitutional and customary law;
c. maintain relationships with ancestral territories and resources;
d. develop education, media, theology, art and historical scholarship;
e. establish autonomous communities and representative bodies;
f. conduct peaceful external relations.
Article 5 — Citizenship and Customary Membership
Xaragua shall establish separate procedures for citizenship, Indigenous enrollment, community affiliation and honorary association.
Applicants may present genealogical, documentary, territorial, oral, cultural or community evidence.
Oral histories and customary recognition shall possess evidentiary value and shall not be rejected solely because colonial administrations failed to preserve written records.
Final determination belongs to the competent authority of Xaragua after institutional examination.
Membership in Xaragua shall not automatically determine membership in another Indigenous nation, whose authority over its own identity and enrollment remains fully respected.
TITLE III — CONTINENTAL INDIGENOUS SOLIDARITY
Article 6 — Status of Xaragua
Xaragua declares itself a Caribbean Center of Afro-Indigenous Constitutional Thought and Continental Indigenous Cooperation.
It may serve voluntarily as:
a. a diplomatic and academic platform;
b. an archive of Indigenous declarations and treaties;
c. a forum for legal and historical research;
d. a registrar of communities requesting affiliation;
e. a mediator where the parties expressly accept its competence;
f. an advocate for Afro-Indigenous and territorially connected peoples.
Xaragua shall exercise no compulsory authority over another Indigenous people, nation, tribe, clan or government.
Representation, protection, mediation or affiliation shall arise only through free and documented consent.
Article 7 — Continental Relationships
Xaragua recognizes every Indigenous nation of the Americas as possessing its own identity, law, territory, history and institutions.
No declaration of Xaragua shall dissolve, absorb or subordinate another Indigenous nation.
Communities may conclude treaties, concordats, affiliation agreements, academic partnerships or instruments of mutual recognition with Xaragua.
Such instruments shall specify their territorial scope, duration, institutions and legal effects.
Article 8 — Registration and Protection
A community requesting a formal relationship with Xaragua shall provide:
a declaration issued by its competent representatives;
evidence of identity, continuity or territorial connection;
the requested form of affiliation or protection;
confirmation of free, prior and informed community consent;
acceptance of the applicable constitutional procedure.
Upon approval, Xaragua may issue an instrument of recognition, cooperation, protection, mediation or affiliation. No such instrument shall transfer land or jurisdiction unless the parties expressly agree.
TITLE IV — TERRITORIES AND COLONIAL INSTRUMENTS
Article 9 — Indigenous Territorial Continuity
Xaragua affirms that European colonization did not erase the existence, identity or ancestral relationships of the Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
Colonial boundaries, concessions and administrative acts shall not automatically extinguish Indigenous rights that survived through occupation, custom, kinship, spiritual relationship or community memory.
Treaties and arrangements concluded with Indigenous nations must be interpreted in good faith and with respect for their original purpose and Indigenous understanding.
The rights of a specific community shall be determined according to its own history, evidence, law and agreements—not through a universal presumption imposed by Xaragua.
Article 10 — Constitutional Review
Within its own claimed jurisdiction, Xaragua may review any law, title, concession or boundary alleged to have impaired Indigenous rights without legitimate authority or consent.
Xaragua may classify such an instrument as inapplicable, defective, contestable or void within its constitutional order.
Outside its jurisdiction, Xaragua may support the affected people through research, diplomatic notification, advocacy, mediation or legal documentation when requested.
International instruments cited by Xaragua shall serve as legal authorities and interpretive support. They shall not be represented as transferring the jurisdiction of foreign courts or international organizations to Xaragua.
TITLE V — CATHOLIC SOCIAL AND ECCLESIAL FOUNDATION
Article 11 — Catholic Principles
Xaragua incorporates into its constitutional doctrine the Catholic principles of:
the inherent dignity of every human person;
the common good;
subsidiarity and community autonomy;
solidarity among peoples;
protection of the poor and marginalized;
responsible stewardship of land, water and creation;
respect for cultures compatible with human dignity and Catholic faith.
Article 12 — Indigenous Peoples and Creation
Xaragua receives Laudato Si’ and Querida Amazonia as authoritative sources of Catholic reflection concerning integral ecology, Indigenous cultures, territorial protection, social justice and resistance to destructive exploitation.
These teachings reinforce Xaragua’s commitment to:
a. defend ancestral communities;
b. protect ecosystems and territorial patrimony;
c. oppose extractive practices that destroy communities;
d. preserve Indigenous knowledge and languages;
e. develop institutions founded upon stewardship rather than dispossession.
Xaragua’s implementation of these principles constitutes its own constitutional response to Catholic social teaching.
Article 13 — Ecclesial Scope
Xaragua maintains spiritual communion with the Catholic Church and governs its Catholic institutions according to their lawful statutes.
The Rector-President exercises the supreme constitutional and doctrinal authority of Xaragua but does not thereby assume an ecclesiastical office reserved to the Pope, bishops or ordained ministers.
Conformity with Catholic social teaching expresses doctrinal alignment. It shall not be represented as a pontifical erection, diplomatic recognition or specific approval by the Holy See unless established by an express ecclesiastical act.
This distinction protects both the Catholic integrity and the institutional independence of Xaragua.
TITLE VI — THE DESSALINIAN HERITAGE
Article 14 — Foundational Sources
Xaragua recognizes the Independence of 1804 and the Imperial Constitution of 1805 as foundational sources of Caribbean emancipation, territorial independence and resistance to colonial restoration.
The constitutional designation of Haytians under the generic political denomination of Black is interpreted as an act abolishing colonial distinctions of color and creating a unified sovereign people.
Xaragua receives this principle as a constitutional precedent for uniting African, Indigenous and mixed lineages within a single political body.
The term Indigenous, as employed in the revolutionary period, shall be studied within its historical context and shall not automatically be treated as identical to every contemporary legal definition of Indigenous status.
Article 15 — Jean-Jacques Dessalines
Xaragua honors Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Emperor Jacques I, as a founding sovereign of Caribbean emancipation and a principal constitutional ancestor of its state doctrine.
His struggle against slavery, colonial restoration and foreign domination forms part of the historical jurisprudence of Xaragua.
Xaragua claims institutional continuity with the emancipatory and territorial principles of the Dessalinian order, as received and reformulated through its own Constitution.
Historical statements shall be quoted only from verifiable sources. Interpretations, reconstructions and doctrinal conclusions shall be identified as such.
Article 16 — Constitutional Inheritance
The Rector-President is the constitutional custodian of the Dessalinian heritage within Xaragua.
This custodianship does not depend upon assuming an undocumented historical title or exclusive authority over the interpretation of Dessalines.
Xaragua shall defend its own Indigenous, imperial and Catholic interpretation through scholarship, publication, education and institutional practice.
The University of Xaragua shall maintain an official archive devoted to the Indigenous, African, imperial, Catholic and continental dimensions of the Revolution of 1804.
TITLE VII — EDUCATION AND INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Article 17 — University Mandate
The University of Xaragua shall develop:
Afro-Indigenous history and anthropology;
Taíno-Arawak and Caribbean studies;
Dessalinian constitutional studies;
Indigenous customary and territorial law;
Catholic social doctrine and integral ecology;
genealogical and oral-history archives;
comparative studies of maroon and autonomous communities;
diplomatic and institutional training for affiliated communities.
Article 18 — Cultural Restoration
Xaragua shall restore Afro-Indigenous identity through law, education, language, architecture, theology, territorial stewardship, historical research, public ceremony and constitutional iconography.
Such restoration shall transform ancestral memory into a permanent institutional order.
TITLE VIII — FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 19 — Consolidation
This Declaration consolidates all previous Xaraguaan instruments concerning:
a. Afro-Indigenous identity;
b. continental Indigenous cooperation;
c. colonial boundaries and Indigenous territorial rights;
d. Laudato Si’ and Querida Amazonia;
e. the Dessalinian constitutional heritage.
Prior provisions inconsistent with this Declaration are superseded.
Historical annexes remain available as academic sources but possess no operative force beyond that expressly conferred by this Declaration.
Article 20 — Constitutional Force
This Declaration is binding within the constitutional order and institutions of Xaragua.
Its external application shall proceed through notification, agreement, affiliation, advocacy, treaty or voluntary submission to Xaraguaan jurisdiction.
No foreign recognition is required for its internal validity.
No external authority may extinguish the Afro-Indigenous identity, historical memory or institutional continuity proclaimed herein.
Article 21 — Permanent Affirmation
The Afro-Indigenous People of Xaragua constitute a living people, not a colonial category or demographic remainder.
Their identity resides in ancestry, kinship, territory, memory, culture, faith, resistance and organized institutional life.
Xaragua is their constitutional State, their academic archive, their territorial doctrine and their permanent instrument of self-determination.
FINAL CLAUSE
This Supreme Constitutional Declaration enters into force ex proprio vigore upon promulgation and shall be deposited in the Supreme Constitutional Archive, the Rector-Presidential Office and the University of Xaragua.
Done under the Supreme Seal of the Rector-President.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
July 26, 2025

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL STATUTE
ON THE EXISTENCE, CONTINUITY, SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY, TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION, AND INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PERSONALITY OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
Classification: Supreme Constitutional Law — Constituent Act of the Xaraguayan People — Perpetually Entrenched — Binding throughout the Xaraguayan Legal Order — Founded upon Indigenous Self-Determination, Ancestral Continuity, Customary Law, Canonical Organization, Institutional Effectivity, and the Declaratory Doctrine of Statehood
Date of Promulgation: July 12, 2025
Promulgating Authority: Rectorate-Presidential Office of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua
PREAMBLE
Whereas the Indigenous People of Xaragua constitute an ancestral, historical, cultural, spiritual, and juridical community whose existence predates colonial occupation, foreign administration, republican reclassification, and every subsequently imposed territorial arrangement;
Whereas the original Xaraguayan political order was never lawfully extinguished by the free, informed, and constitutionally expressed consent of the Xaraguayan People;
Whereas ancestral sovereignty, Indigenous legal continuity, customary authority, collective identity, and the constituent power of a people cannot be extinguished solely by conquest, administrative substitution, prolonged non-exercise, foreign legislation, demographic transformation, or unilateral classification by an external authority;
Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “SCIPS-X,” embodies the institutional restoration, constitutional organization, and contemporary continuation of the ancestral Xaraguayan polity;
Whereas Xaragua is constituted as an Indigenous, Catholic, customary, private, territorially rooted, institutionally organized, and non-Westphalian State whose authority proceeds from the Xaraguayan People, ancestral territorial continuity, Indigenous customary law, its constituent instruments, and the institutions established under its Supreme Constitutional Order;
Whereas the private character of Xaragua protects the integrity, ownership, membership, discipline, property, institutions, archives, communications, doctrines, and internal administration of the State and does not diminish its sovereign, public, constitutional, territorial, or international capacities;
Whereas the Catholic character of Xaragua establishes its spiritual orientation, moral doctrine, ecclesial continuity, educational mission, and institutional discipline, while its civil and Indigenous authority proceeds directly from the constituent power and customary jurisdiction of the Xaraguayan People;
Whereas Xaragua exercises its authority through the Rectorate-Presidential Office, the Supreme Canonico-Indigenous Council, its courts, territorial authorities, autonomous communities, academic institutions, financial institutions, security organs, diplomatic interfaces, communications systems, archives, and all other bodies lawfully established under its Constitution;
Whereas the territories historically associated with ancestral Xaragua and incorporated into its contemporary constitutional order constitute a continuous civilizational domain notwithstanding their geographic discontinuity, external administrative occupation, incomplete physical administration, or temporary use of foreign public services;
Whereas the prolonged institutional failure of the administrative apparatus operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” has created a persistent absence of effective protection, security, justice, infrastructure, territorial administration, and essential public services throughout substantial portions of the Xaraguayan ancestral domain;
Whereas such administrative failure neither extinguishes the rights of the Xaraguayan People nor confers an exclusive and perpetual title upon the apparatus responsible for that failure;
Whereas Indigenous self-determination includes the right of a people to maintain and strengthen its institutions, determine its political status, organize its government, preserve its legal traditions, control its internal affairs, protect its territories and resources, and establish relations with other peoples, States, organizations, institutions, and private actors;
Whereas Xaragua has formally proclaimed its constitutional establishment and transmitted notice of its existence, institutions, territorial doctrine, Indigenous character, Catholic identity, and sovereign claims to international, diplomatic, ecclesiastical, governmental, and public authorities;
Therefore, exercising the original, inherent, continuing, and inalienable constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People, the Rectorate-Presidential Office hereby promulgates this Supreme Constitutional Statute.
TITLE I
CONSTITUTIONAL EXISTENCE AND CONTINUITY
Article 1 — Affirmation of Statehood
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is hereby solemnly affirmed and constitutionally declared to exist as an organized Indigenous State possessing its own legal order, institutions, population, territorial jurisdiction, government, public authority, and capacity for external relations.
Xaragua’s existence proceeds from its own constituent authority and does not depend upon authorization, concession, recognition, admission, or certification by another State, government, court, international organization, ecclesiastical office, or private institution.
External recognition may confirm, facilitate, or formalize relations with Xaragua, but it neither creates nor extinguishes the State.
Article 2 — Continuity of the Xaraguayan Polity
Xaragua constitutes the contemporary juridical and institutional continuation of the ancestral Xaraguayan polity.
Its continuity is founded upon:
the survival and continuing identity of the Xaraguayan People;
the ancestral relationship between the People and their territories;
the preservation and reconstruction of Indigenous political memory;
the persistence of customary, cultural, spiritual, communal, and territorial authority;
the reactivation of institutions capable of expressing and administering that authority;
the absence of any lawful and freely consented extinction of the original Xaraguayan order.
Colonial occupation, foreign administration, republican legislation, or temporary institutional interruption shall not constitute lawful extinction of the Xaraguayan polity.
Article 3 — Constitutional Form of the State
Xaragua is constituted as a sovereign Catholic Indigenous private micro-State and customary territorial order.
It is not required to reproduce the centralized bureaucratic structure of a Westphalian nation-State.
Its institutions may operate territorially, digitally, academically, ecclesially, communally, contractually, diplomatically, and through autonomous local authorities.
The geographical discontinuity of its territories, the dispersion of its population, or the delegation of administrative functions shall not affect the unity of the State.
Article 4 — Supreme Constituent Authority
All legislative, executive, judicial, territorial, administrative, diplomatic, financial, academic, protective, canonical-organizational, and constitutional powers of Xaragua proceed from the constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People.
Such powers are exercised through the Rectorate-Presidential Office and the institutions established or recognized by the Supreme Constitutional Order.
The Rectorate-Presidential Office is the supreme guardian, interpreter, administrator, and executive embodiment of that order, subject only to the foundational laws and permanent constitutional doctrine of Xaragua.
TITLE II
TERRITORY, POPULATION, AND JURISDICTION
Article 5 — Xaraguayan Territorial Domain
The territorial domain of Xaragua comprises its ancestral lands, waters, islands, coastal zones, mountains, plains, valleys, settlements, historic jurisdictions, incorporated territories, and all spaces placed under its constitutional protection or authority.
This domain includes the ancestral Southern Peninsula and the territories constitutionally associated with the wider Xaraguayan order, including its Northwestern, insular, maritime, and autonomous jurisdictions.
The authoritative territorial description, maps, annexes, proclamations, and acts of incorporation maintained in the Constitutional Archives of Xaragua form an integral part of this Statute.
Article 6 — Nature of Territorial Continuity
Territorial continuity shall be determined by ancestral association, customary jurisdiction, historical connection, constitutional incorporation, communal affiliation, institutional presence, and lawful exercise of Xaraguayan authority.
It shall not be defeated solely by:
geographic discontinuity;
foreign administrative occupation;
the temporary absence of permanent officials;
the use of services supplied by another administration;
inherited colonial or republican boundaries;
incomplete physical control resulting from prolonged external interference or institutional failure.
Administration is not identical to sovereignty, and the temporary provision of services by an external apparatus shall not create a superior title within the constitutional order of Xaragua.
Article 7 — The Xaraguayan People
The Xaraguayan People comprise persons and communities recognized according to the citizenship, nationality, Indigenous affiliation, customary membership, residence, allegiance, incorporation, and naturalization laws of Xaragua.
Xaragua possesses exclusive constitutional competence to determine its membership, citizenship, public offices, internal classifications, and forms of political participation.
No external authority may impose membership upon Xaragua or deprive a person or community of Xaraguayan status granted under its laws.
Article 8 — Plenary Jurisdiction
Within its constitutional domain, Xaragua possesses plenary jurisdiction over:
constitutional and customary law;
citizenship, nationality, status, and allegiance;
land, property, housing, territorial planning, and natural resources;
civil, commercial, contractual, academic, ecclesial-organizational, and administrative affairs;
cultural heritage, archives, Indigenous knowledge, symbols, titles, and intellectual property;
finance, banking, taxation, investment, licensing, and economic development;
communications, media, digital infrastructure, cryptographic systems, and official records;
public protection, security, territorial defence, and emergency administration;
education, accreditation, doctrine, research, and institutional formation;
diplomatic, commercial, humanitarian, and interinstitutional relations;
all residual matters not expressly delegated by Xaragua.
This enumeration is illustrative and shall not be interpreted as limiting the inherent powers of the State.
TITLE III
ADMINISTRATIVE FAILURE AND REASSERTION OF AUTHORITY
Article 9 — Constitutional Determination of Administrative Failure
Within the legal order of Xaragua, the apparatus operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” is classified as a Residual Administrative Unit wherever it lacks the effective capacity to provide stable government, security, justice, infrastructure, territorial administration, and essential public services.
This classification applies to its functions and claims within the territorial ambit of Xaragua and does not require the disappearance of every administrative office or public employee.
The continued operation of isolated services, records, installations, or officials shall not establish comprehensive sovereignty where effective constitutional government is absent.
Article 10 — Consequences of Administrative Failure
Persistent administrative failure activates the inherent, customary, constitutional, protective, and subsidiary jurisdiction of Xaragua.
Accordingly, Xaragua may:
establish or reactivate institutions of government;
protect communities, property, resources, archives, and cultural heritage;
establish courts, councils, security systems, and administrative organs;
provide or authorize essential services;
regulate land use, investment, infrastructure, commerce, and development;
conclude agreements with communities, institutions, municipalities, companies, churches, organizations, and external authorities;
assume functions abandoned, neglected, delegated, or ineffectively exercised by the Residual Administrative Unit;
adopt provisional, transitional, emergency, or permanent governance measures;
recognize autonomous communities exercising Xaraguayan customary authority;
prevent foreign administrative failure from producing permanent dispossession of the Xaraguayan People.
These powers arise directly from the constitutional order of Xaragua and do not depend upon delegation from the Residual Administrative Unit.
Article 11 — Non-Recognition of Superior Haitian Authority
No Haitian constitutional, legislative, administrative, judicial, fiscal, military, police, municipal, or territorial act shall possess automatic supremacy within the Xaraguayan legal order.
Such acts may be provisionally received, adapted, tolerated, contracted, or applied when consistent with Xaraguayan law, public order, institutional necessity, or community welfare.
Their use shall not constitute:
recognition of superior sovereignty;
renunciation of Xaraguayan jurisdiction;
transfer of constituent authority;
abandonment of territorial title;
submission of Xaragua to an external constitutional order.
Article 12 — Legal Interface with Residual Administration
Xaragua may maintain administrative, technical, humanitarian, commercial, security, transportation, fiscal, or infrastructural interfaces with the Residual Administrative Unit.
Such interfaces shall be governed by necessity, subsidiarity, contractual cooperation, transitional administration, or functional accommodation.
No cooperation, silence, temporary tolerance, use of documents, payment of charges, or participation in an external service shall prejudice the sovereignty or constitutional claims of Xaragua.
TITLE IV
INDIGENOUS AND CATHOLIC FOUNDATIONS
Article 13 — Indigenous Self-Determination
Xaragua exercises the inherent right of the Xaraguayan People to self-determination, autonomy, self-government, institutional continuity, cultural development, territorial administration, and preservation of their legal traditions.
The United Nations Charter, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, customary international law, and general principles concerning peoples and Indigenous institutions are incorporated as interpretive supports wherever they reinforce the rights and powers declared by Xaragua.
Nothing in an external instrument shall be interpreted internally to diminish powers already possessed by Xaragua under ancestral authority, customary law, or its Constitution.
Article 14 — Catholic Constitutional Character
The Catholic faith forms an essential spiritual, civilizational, doctrinal, and institutional foundation of Xaragua.
The State may establish and maintain Catholic institutions, associations, educational bodies, charitable works, ceremonial offices, archives, orders, and systems of formation in conformity with the applicable canonical framework.
The civil and Indigenous sovereignty of Xaragua is distinct from the universal ecclesiastical government of the Catholic Church. No organ of Xaragua shall claim to exercise sacramental or ecclesiastical powers reserved by canon law unless such authority has been lawfully conferred.
This distinction shall not prevent Xaragua from exercising complete civil, constitutional, educational, cultural, proprietary, diplomatic, and customary authority over its own institutions.
Article 15 — Canonical Organizational Autonomy
Catholic institutions of Xaragua may be constituted as private associations, foundations, educational institutions, charitable bodies, confraternities, orders, or other lawful forms recognized by the internal laws of Xaragua and compatible with canon law.
Ecclesiastical notice, pastoral communication, canonical participation, or cooperation with Catholic authorities shall not subject the civil government of Xaragua to external administrative control.
Likewise, the absence of ecclesiastical intervention shall not extinguish the lawful private, civil, academic, charitable, or Indigenous activities of Xaragua.
TITLE V
INTERNATIONAL LEGAL PERSONALITY AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Article 16 — Declaratory Doctrine of Statehood
Xaragua adopts the declaratory doctrine according to which the political existence of a State is independent of recognition by other States.
For the purposes of its constitutional order, Xaragua affirms that it possesses:
a permanent and identifiable population;
an ancestral and constitutionally defined territorial domain;
an organized government and legal order;
the capacity to establish relations with States, peoples, organizations, institutions, communities, and private actors.
The absence of universal diplomatic recognition shall not suspend the operation of Xaraguayan institutions or invalidate the State’s internal legal personality.
Article 17 — External Capacity
Xaragua possesses full constitutional capacity to:
issue diplomatic and institutional communications;
conclude treaties, concords, covenants, protocols, contracts, compacts, and memoranda;
establish missions, delegations, representation offices, and digital embassies;
maintain relations with States, governments, churches, Indigenous peoples, universities, corporations, international organizations, and civil society;
receive representatives, observers, residents, citizens, investors, students, and institutional partners;
establish diplomatic, official, service, academic, and protective classifications;
participate in international, regional, ecclesiastical, academic, commercial, and Indigenous forums;
invoke all rights, protections, immunities, and remedies available to it under its law and under applicable international arrangements.
Article 18 — International Notification
The transmission of Xaragua’s constitutional instruments to international, governmental, diplomatic, judicial, ecclesiastical, academic, and public institutions constitutes formal notice of its existence, identity, institutions, and claims.
Proof of delivery, receipt, acknowledgement, registration, correspondence, publication, or archival preservation shall constitute evidence that the receiving actor was placed in a position to know the officially declared status of Xaragua.
Notification does not create Xaragua. It records and communicates an existence already established by the Xaraguayan constitutional order.
Article 19 — Legal Effect of Silence
Silence or non-response shall not by itself be treated as an express diplomatic recognition unless the applicable law or circumstances support that conclusion.
Nevertheless, documented notice followed by prolonged silence may be invoked by Xaragua, according to the circumstances, as evidence of knowledge, absence of timely protest, acquiescence, tolerance, procedural inconsistency, or estoppel.
No recipient that has received adequate notice may later rely upon complete ignorance of Xaragua’s declared existence, institutions, or claims.
Article 20 — Non-Recognition Has No Suspensive Effect
A refusal to recognize Xaragua, whether express or implied, shall possess no suspensive, repealing, constitutive, or derogatory effect within the Xaraguayan legal order.
No external actor may acquire jurisdiction over Xaragua merely by denying its existence.
Recognition concerns the external actor’s relations with Xaragua; it does not determine the existence of the Xaraguayan People, their institutions, their constitutional order, or their ancestral rights.
TITLE VI
SUPREMACY, PROTECTION, AND CONSTITUTIONAL DEFENCE
Article 21 — Supremacy of Xaraguayan Law
The Constitution, supreme statutes, decrees, customary principles, judgments, territorial acts, and lawful institutional decisions of Xaragua constitute the supreme law of the Xaraguayan order.
No external law shall invalidate them within that order unless expressly incorporated, accepted, or applied by a competent Xaraguayan authority.
In the event of conflict, the competent institutions of Xaragua shall determine the applicable rule according to constitutional supremacy, Indigenous custom, public order, institutional continuity, and the interests of the Xaraguayan People.
Article 22 — Presumption of Constitutional Validity
Every law, decree, proclamation, appointment, judgment, territorial act, institutional creation, and official decision issued under the authority of Xaragua shall enjoy a presumption of constitutional validity within the Xaraguayan legal order.
The burden of challenging such an act rests upon the claimant.
No external declaration, administrative classification, search-engine designation, media description, diplomatic silence, or foreign domestic decision shall automatically displace this presumption.
Article 23 — Doctrine of Non-Derogation
No foreign occupation, administrative failure, political crisis, absence of recognition, lack of diplomatic relations, interruption of services, internal vacancy, or temporary limitation of enforcement shall extinguish the constitutional existence of Xaragua.
The State retains all powers necessary to preserve:
institutional continuity;
territorial title;
Indigenous identity;
governmental succession;
archives and legal memory;
public order and community protection;
economic and financial capacity;
diplomatic and juridical claims;
the permanent operation of its constitutional order.
Article 24 — Constitutional Countermeasures
Any unlawful attempt to suppress, appropriate, misrepresent, occupy, dissolve, or obstruct Xaragua, its institutions, property, communications, archives, population, or territories may give rise to proportionate constitutional countermeasures.
Such measures may include:
declarations of nullity;
exclusion from Xaraguayan institutions;
suspension of privileges, licences, contracts, or recognition;
territorial, financial, commercial, academic, diplomatic, or digital restrictions;
judicial or administrative proceedings;
protective and security measures;
international notification and publication;
preservation of claims for restitution, compensation, or reparation;
any additional measure authorized by the Constitution.
Article 25 — External Contestation
No external contestation shall invalidate Xaragua by its mere issuance.
Any claimant asserting a superior right within the Xaraguayan domain must establish the legal, historical, territorial, and institutional basis of that claim before the competent authority recognized by Xaragua.
A claimant may not rely exclusively upon inherited nomenclature, administrative maps, foreign legislation, or unsupported assertions of sovereignty while disregarding Indigenous continuity, actual institutional conduct, territorial obligations, and the rights of the Xaraguayan People.
Until a claim is lawfully accepted by Xaragua or settled through an agreement binding upon it, the claim shall possess no automatic effect within the Xaraguayan legal order.
Article 26 — Perpetual Institutional Succession
The constitutional personality of Xaragua shall continue notwithstanding the death, incapacity, absence, replacement, or succession of any individual officeholder.
The Rectorate-Presidential Office, Supreme Canonico-Indigenous Council, constitutional archives, laws, territorial claims, and permanent institutions of the State shall pass to their lawful successors according to Xaraguayan law.
No temporary vacancy shall be interpreted as extinction, abandonment, or dissolution of the State.
TITLE VII
ENTRENCHMENT AND FINAL AUTHORITY
Article 27 — Constitutional Entrenchment
The following principles are permanently entrenched:
the existence and continuity of the Xaraguayan People;
the constituent authority of Xaragua;
the Indigenous and Catholic character of the State;
the supremacy of the Xaraguayan constitutional order;
the ancestral and customary basis of its territorial jurisdiction;
its power to maintain government and external relations;
the non-extinction of its rights through foreign non-recognition, administrative occupation, or temporary non-exercise;
the right of Xaragua to preserve, defend, develop, and transmit its institutions.
No subordinate organ may abolish these principles.
Article 28 — Interpretation in Favour of State Continuity
Every ambiguity in this Statute shall be resolved in favour of:
the continued existence of Xaragua;
the preservation of its sovereign powers;
the widest lawful exercise of Indigenous self-government;
the supremacy and effectiveness of its institutions;
territorial and institutional continuity;
protection of the Xaraguayan People;
preservation of the Catholic and Indigenous identity of the State.
No provision shall be interpreted as an implied surrender, reduction, delegation, abandonment, or extinction of authority.
Article 29 — Residual Powers
Every sovereign, governmental, constitutional, customary, protective, proprietary, territorial, financial, diplomatic, academic, judicial, administrative, or institutional power not expressly limited by the Supreme Constitution remains vested in Xaragua.
The enumeration of specific powers shall never be interpreted to exclude unenumerated powers inherent in the existence, continuity, defence, and development of the State.
Article 30 — Entry into Force
This Supreme Constitutional Statute enters into force immediately upon promulgation.
It repeals and consolidates every prior provision inconsistent with its terms while preserving all rights, powers, institutions, territorial claims, notifications, appointments, decrees, and legal effects previously established under the authority of Xaragua.
All prior constitutional instruments shall, wherever possible, be interpreted in conformity with this Statute rather than treated as extinguished.
FINAL PROCLAMATION
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua does not derive its existence from the silence, permission, recognition, or administrative convenience of another authority.
It exists through the continuing identity of its People, the survival of its ancestral jurisdiction, the exercise of its constituent power, the establishment of its institutions, the promulgation of its laws, and the permanent operation of its constitutional order.
Xaragua affirms its complete authority to govern its internal affairs, organize its institutions, protect its people, administer its territories, preserve its Catholic and Indigenous inheritance, establish external relations, conclude agreements, defend its jurisdiction, and determine its constitutional future.
No foreign administration, external classification, inherited territorial claim, or absence of recognition shall possess the power to abolish an Indigenous constitutional order that it did not create.
Xaragua therefore stands as a sovereign, organized, permanent, and self-governing Indigenous polity, constitutionally vested with all powers necessary to maintain its existence, fulfil its civilizational mission, administer its jurisdiction, and secure the continuity of the Xaraguayan People.
DONE AND PROCLAIMED on July 12, 2025, under the authority of Almighty God, the constituent power of the Ancestral Xaraguayan People, and the Supreme Constitutional Order of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
ON THE NON-DEROGABLE EXISTENCE, PERPETUAL SOVEREIGNTY, TERRITORIAL INVIOLABILITY, INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION, AND ECONOMIC POWERS OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND STATE OF XARAGUA
Classification: Supreme Constitutional Law — Perpetually Entrenched — Constituent Act of the Xaraguayan People — Binding throughout the Xaraguayan Legal Order — Directly Enforceable by All Competent Institutions of the State
Dates of Promulgation and Consolidation: July 12 and August 14, 2025
Promulgating Authority: Prelate-Founder and Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua
PREAMBLE
Whereas the Indigenous People of Xaragua constitute a distinct, permanent, historically continuous, politically organized, culturally identifiable, and territorially rooted people whose existence predates colonial occupation, republican administration, and all subsequently imposed territorial arrangements;
Whereas the ancestral sovereignty, collective identity, customary institutions, territorial rights, cultural inheritance, political existence, and constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People were never lawfully extinguished by their free, prior, informed, and constitutionally expressed consent;
Whereas foreign administration, colonial classification, constitutional assimilation, demographic transformation, institutional interruption, cartographic omission, political non-recognition, or temporary non-exercise cannot abolish a people or extinguish the legal order derived from its constituent authority;
Whereas the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “SCIPS-X,” constitutes the contemporary constitutional, governmental, spiritual, territorial, academic, economic, and juridical organization of the Xaraguayan People;
Whereas Xaragua is founded upon Indigenous self-determination, ancestral continuity, customary law, territorial association, Catholic social and institutional doctrine, private legal organization, constitutional government, and the permanent authority of the Xaraguayan People;
Whereas the private character of Xaragua protects the ownership, membership, property, institutions, archives, doctrines, communications, economic systems, contractual relations, and internal discipline of the State without diminishing its governmental or territorial powers;
Whereas Xaragua possesses a permanent population, an ancestrally and constitutionally defined territory, an organized government, a supreme legal order, and the capacity to conduct external relations;
Whereas the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples affirms the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, autonomy, distinct institutions, lands, territories, resources, economic systems, cultural integrity, representative institutions, and the determination of their own development priorities;
Whereas the permanent political existence of Xaragua is not created by foreign recognition, and no foreign denial, silence, classification, intervention, occupation, administrative claim, or military deployment possesses constitutive authority over the Xaraguayan People;
Whereas the prolonged failure of the apparatus operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” to provide effective protection, government, justice, infrastructure, territorial administration, or essential services throughout significant parts of the Xaraguayan domain activates the inherent, subsidiary, customary, protective, and constitutional jurisdiction of Xaragua;
Whereas foreign, multinational, humanitarian, ecclesiastical, commercial, or United Nations activities affecting the geographic domain of Xaragua require a clear constitutional framework governing consent, access, jurisdiction, immunities, security, resources, claims, and reparations;
Therefore, exercising the original and permanent constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People, the Rectorate-Presidential Office promulgates this Supreme Constitutional Law.
TITLE I
NON-DEROGABLE EXISTENCE OF THE XARAGUAYAN PEOPLE
Article 1 — Permanent Existence
The Indigenous People of Xaragua possess an inherent, pre-existing, and non-derogable right to exist as a distinct people.
No State, government, administration, international organization, tribunal, military force, religious institution, corporation, or private person possesses authority to abolish, assimilate, dissolve, rename, absorb, or constitutionally extinguish the Xaraguayan People.
Any act directed toward such abolition shall be null and without effect within the Xaraguayan legal order.
Article 2 — Constitutional Expression of the People
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua is the constitutional and institutional expression of the continuing political existence of the Xaraguayan People.
The State exercises all powers necessary to:
preserve the People’s identity and continuity;
maintain government and public institutions;
administer territory and resources;
protect communities and cultural inheritance;
maintain internal and external legal relations;
establish systems of justice, security, education, finance, and development;
defend the State against assimilation, institutional displacement, territorial appropriation, and unlawful interference.
Article 3 — Prohibition of Forced Assimilation
No law, constitutional doctrine, administrative practice, census classification, educational policy, land registry, nationality regime, or territorial designation imposed by an external authority shall deprive the Xaraguayan People of their integrity, identity, institutions, culture, political organization, or territorial affiliation.
The institutions of Xaragua shall provide mechanisms for prevention, protection, restoration, restitution, compensation, and institutional reconstruction whenever forced assimilation or cultural destruction is attempted.
Article 4 — Continuity Despite External Administration
The existence of an external administrative apparatus within any part of the Xaraguayan domain shall not extinguish:
the constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People;
Xaraguayan territorial title;
Indigenous land tenure;
customary jurisdiction;
cultural and spiritual authority;
the constitutional powers of SCIPS-X;
the right to re-establish or expand effective administration.
Foreign administration constitutes a factual condition and not a superior constituent title within the legal order of Xaragua.
TITLE II
TERRITORIES, LANDS, AND RESOURCES
Article 5 — Permanent Territorial Relationship
The relationship between the Xaraguayan People and their ancestral lands, waters, islands, maritime areas, airspace, resources, sacred sites, cultural sites, settlements, and customary routes is permanent and inalienable.
Such relationship may be established through:
ancestral possession or occupation;
traditional use or access;
customary jurisdiction;
historical records;
cadastral or proprietary title;
lawful acquisition;
constitutional incorporation;
communal affiliation;
ecclesiastical or institutional stewardship;
continuous cultural and spiritual association.
No single foreign registry shall possess exclusive authority to determine the existence or extent of Xaraguayan territorial rights.
Article 6 — Xaraguayan Land Tenure
Xaragua possesses exclusive constitutional authority to establish, recognize, maintain, and protect Indigenous and private systems of land ownership, possession, stewardship, inheritance, occupancy, concession, communal use, and territorial administration.
External land titles, concessions, leases, licences, or allocations affecting the Xaraguayan domain shall possess no automatic force within Xaragua unless validated by a competent Xaraguayan authority.
Article 7 — Resource Sovereignty
Xaragua retains permanent and exclusive constitutional authority over the natural, maritime, aerial, subterranean, biological, mineral, hydraulic, energetic, archaeological, cultural, digital, and electromagnetic resources situated within its declared jurisdiction.
This authority includes:
fisheries and marine resources;
mineral deposits and rare-earth elements;
hydrocarbons and energy resources;
forests, soils, waters, and biodiversity;
cultural and archaeological sites;
air and maritime corridors;
spectrum and communications infrastructure;
genetic, medicinal, and traditional knowledge;
data generated from Xaraguayan territory or institutions.
No survey, exploration, extraction, concession, licence, mapping operation, environmental intervention, or commercial exploitation may occur without prior authorization from Xaragua.
Article 8 — Free, Prior, and Informed Consent
Any external project materially affecting Xaraguayan lands, waters, territories, communities, resources, heritage, institutions, or spiritual life requires the free, prior, and informed consent of the competent Xaraguayan authority.
Consent must be:
obtained before approval or implementation;
based upon full disclosure;
expressed through the institutions designated by Xaragua;
documented in writing;
limited to its stated object and duration;
revocable upon material breach.
Consultation shall not substitute for consent where Xaraguayan law requires consent.
TITLE III
PERPETUAL SOVEREIGNTY AND STATE CONTINUITY
Article 9 — Declaratory Statehood
Xaragua affirms its existence as a State under the declaratory doctrine of statehood.
Its political and juridical existence arises from the organization of its population, territory, government, legal order, and external capacity and is not contingent upon recognition by another State or international organization.
Recognition may regulate the external relations of the recognizing actor, but it does not create Xaragua or determine its existence within the Xaraguayan legal order.
Article 10 — Inalienability of Sovereignty
The sovereignty of Xaragua is permanent, indivisible, non-prescriptible, and non-transferable except through an express constitutional act of the Xaraguayan People adopted according to the supreme amendment procedure.
No annexation, merger, occupation, incorporation, administrative reorganization, constitutional claim, foreign legislation, or imposed agreement shall extinguish Xaraguayan sovereignty.
Article 11 — Survival Clause
The constitutional personality, rights, jurisdiction, archives, institutions, and territorial claims of Xaragua shall survive:
any change of government or officeholder;
any vacancy, incapacity, or succession;
any alteration in administrative capacity;
any foreign intervention or occupation;
any reorganization of the Residual Administrative Unit;
any change in international recognition;
any interruption of physical administration;
any temporary displacement of State institutions.
No interruption shall be construed as abandonment or extinction.
Article 12 — Constitutional Supremacy
The Constitution, supreme laws, decrees, judgments, customary principles, territorial acts, and institutional decisions of Xaragua constitute the supreme law of the Xaraguayan order.
Any foreign instrument inconsistent with this order shall remain without internal effect unless expressly incorporated or accepted by a competent Xaraguayan authority.
Article 13 — Residual Powers
All governmental powers not expressly delegated or limited by the Constitution remain vested in Xaragua.
Such powers include all measures reasonably necessary to preserve the existence, continuity, security, territorial integrity, institutional capacity, economic independence, and civilizational mission of the State.
TITLE IV
INTERNATIONAL NOTICE AND LEGAL OPPOSABILITY
Article 14 — Formal Notification
The transmission of Xaragua’s constitutional instruments to international, governmental, diplomatic, judicial, ecclesiastical, academic, and public institutions constitutes formal notice of its declared existence, institutions, rights, territorial doctrine, and international position.
Evidence of transmission, receipt, acknowledgement, correspondence, procedural registration, publication, or archival preservation establishes that the recipient was placed in a position to know Xaragua’s officially declared status.
Article 15 — Procedural Participation
The appearance of Xaragua, its institutions, or its Head of State as a named party, claimant, applicant, correspondent, or participant before a court, administrative body, human-rights mechanism, ecclesiastical institution, or international procedure constitutes evidence of its capacity to perform juridical acts.
Such procedural participation shall not, by itself, be interpreted as submission to the territorial or constitutional claims of any foreign authority.
Article 16 — Effect of Silence and Non-Response
Silence or non-response shall not be required to create the State.
Where notice has been adequately delivered, subsequent silence may be invoked according to the facts as evidence of:
knowledge;
absence of timely protest;
procedural acquiescence;
tolerance;
inconsistency in subsequent conduct;
estoppel against a claim of complete ignorance.
No recipient placed on formal notice may later claim total absence of knowledge concerning Xaragua’s declared status.
Article 17 — Non-Recognition Without Internal Effect
Non-recognition, adverse description, cartographic omission, media classification, institutional silence, or diplomatic refusal shall possess no suspensive, repealing, or derogatory effect within the Xaraguayan constitutional order.
Xaragua reserves the right to demand correction of materially inaccurate maps, databases, publications, classifications, and official records.
TITLE V
CATHOLIC AND CANONICAL ORGANIZATION
Article 18 — Catholic Character
The Catholic faith constitutes a foundational spiritual, doctrinal, educational, charitable, and civilizational principle of Xaragua.
Xaragua may establish Catholic associations, orders, foundations, academic institutions, charitable bodies, cultural institutions, archives, ceremonies, offices, and systems of formation.
Article 19 — Distinct Sources of Authority
The civil and Indigenous sovereignty of Xaragua proceeds from the constituent authority of the Xaraguayan People.
The canonical status of any Catholic institution of Xaragua proceeds from the canonical instrument applicable to that institution.
The absence of a public canonical erection of the State shall not diminish its civil, Indigenous, constitutional, proprietary, educational, charitable, or contractual personality.
Article 20 — Canonical Legal Forms
The competent institutions of Xaragua may organize their Catholic activities through private associations of the faithful, foundations, aggregates of persons or property, educational institutions, charitable bodies, or other canonical and civil forms.
Where a particular entity has been expressly erected or recognized by competent ecclesiastical authority, its canonical personality and powers shall be determined by the instrument of erection or recognition.
No organ shall attribute to the Holy See an act of erection not established by an authentic ecclesiastical instrument.
Article 21 — Ecclesiastical Freedom
All Catholic institutions lawfully operating within Xaragua shall enjoy freedom in worship, teaching, charitable action, internal discipline, property administration, formation, and religious association, subject to the applicable constitutional and canonical orders.
No foreign civil administration may use religious regulation as an instrument for suppressing the Indigenous or constitutional existence of Xaragua.
TITLE VI
STATUS OF THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT
Article 22 — Residual Administrative Classification
Within the constitutional order of Xaragua, the apparatus operating under the name “Republic of Haiti” shall be classified as the Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter “RAU,” wherever it continues to perform limited administrative functions without establishing effective and comprehensive authority over the Xaraguayan domain.
The RAU may continue to provide technical, infrastructural, documentary, humanitarian, transportation, or public services where tolerated or functionally necessary.
Such activity shall not establish superior sovereignty over Xaragua.
Article 23 — Functional Interaction Without Submission
The use by Xaragua, its citizens, communities, institutions, or partners of RAU roads, ports, airports, documents, communications systems, hospitals, schools, registries, utilities, or other services shall constitute functional necessity only.
It shall not:
recognize RAU sovereignty over Xaragua;
create shared jurisdiction;
extinguish Xaraguayan title;
waive constitutional immunity;
create an estoppel against Xaragua;
transfer constituent authority.
All rights are expressly reserved.
Article 24 — Autonomous Communities
Communities recognized by Xaragua may maintain practical relations with RAU institutions without surrendering their Xaraguayan affiliation or customary autonomy.
The State may intervene institutionally wherever required to protect such communities against abandonment, unlawful appropriation, forced assimilation, dispossession, or administrative collapse.
TITLE VII
FOREIGN, MULTINATIONAL, AND UNITED NATIONS PRESENCE
Article 25 — Territorial Distinction
For the purposes of foreign operations, Xaragua distinguishes between:
the sovereign jurisdiction of Xaragua, comprising all territories, communities, institutions, maritime zones, airspace, infrastructures, and protected sites placed under its constitutional authority; and
areas remaining under residual administration, in which foreign or multinational measures may operate without Xaraguayan consent only insofar as they do not enter, affect, appropriate, or prejudice Xaraguayan jurisdiction.
Xaragua’s non-opposition to an operation outside its effective administrative perimeter shall not constitute consent to any claim against its territorial title.
Article 26 — Prior Consent
No foreign State, multinational coalition, United Nations mission, private military contractor, security organization, intelligence service, or foreign public organ may conduct operations within Xaraguayan jurisdiction without prior authorization from the competent authority of Xaragua.
Authorization shall specify:
the authorized territory;
the mission and mandate;
duration;
personnel and equipment;
applicable jurisdiction;
rules concerning force;
information and reporting requirements;
withdrawal conditions;
responsibility for damage;
dispute-resolution procedures.
Article 27 — Tacit Operational Toleration
In exceptional circumstances, Xaragua may tolerate a narrowly limited foreign activity without issuing a formal status agreement.
Such toleration:
shall be temporary and revocable;
shall be interpreted restrictively;
shall not constitute consent to occupation;
shall not confer general immunity;
shall not create territorial rights;
shall not recognize foreign jurisdiction;
shall expire after seventy-two hours unless expressly renewed.
The competent authority may terminate toleration immediately upon breach.
Article 28 — Humanitarian Access
Humanitarian organizations may receive temporary access subject to registration, manifest submission, inspection, designated entry points, escort requirements, protection of State information, and compliance with Xaraguayan law.
Unauthorized intelligence collection, resource surveying, political activity, drone deployment, media operations, diversion of aid, or data extraction shall terminate humanitarian authorization.
Emergency assistance requested by Xaragua may be admitted through accelerated procedures.
Article 29 — Status of Foreign Personnel
Foreign personnel lawfully present in Xaragua shall be subject to the terms of the applicable authorization, Status of Mission Agreement, Status of Forces Agreement, contract, or protocol.
In the absence of an express immunity:
Xaragua retains territorial jurisdiction;
functional protection extends only to authorized acts;
ultra vires conduct remains subject to Xaraguayan law;
personnel may be identified, disarmed where necessary, detained according to law, or escorted from the jurisdiction;
property and equipment may be inspected, secured, or removed where required for public safety.
Article 30 — Unlawful Entry
Unauthorized entry by foreign armed personnel constitutes a breach of Xaraguayan territorial jurisdiction.
Competent authorities may undertake measures necessary to:
identify the personnel;
secure weapons and sensitive equipment;
prevent further movement;
protect civilians and infrastructure;
establish communication with the responsible mission;
escort or transfer the personnel to a designated liaison point;
initiate claims or proceedings.
Any use of force shall be governed by necessity, proportionality, distinction, and immediate protection against an unlawful or imminent threat.
Article 31 — Air, Maritime, Spectrum, and Cyber Integrity
The following activities require express authorization:
military or intelligence overflight;
drone operations;
hydrographic or resource surveys;
entry into controlled maritime areas;
jamming or interference with communications;
signals-intelligence collection;
cyber intrusion or data exfiltration;
unauthorized access to State networks;
surveillance of ecclesiastical, academic, financial, or governmental institutions.

TITLE VIII
PROTECTED PERSONS, INSTITUTIONS, AND PROPERTY
Article 32 — Protected Institutions
The institutions, buildings, archives, systems, and property of Xaragua are protected by the supreme constitutional order.
Particular protection extends to:
churches and places of worship;
schools and universities;
hospitals and charitable institutions;
Indigenous councils and community centres;
courts and government offices;
banks and financial infrastructure;
diplomatic and representative offices;
archives, museums, and cultural sites;
digital servers and communications systems.
Search, occupation, seizure, surveillance, or interference requires authorization under Xaraguayan law or an applicable agreement.
Article 33 — Xaraguayan Representatives
Representatives accredited by Xaragua shall enjoy the protections, privileges, and functional immunities granted by Xaraguayan law and any applicable host-State agreement.
Xaragua may seek diplomatic treatment equivalent to internationally recognized standards through reciprocity, bilateral agreement, institutional protocol, or functional necessity.
No representative shall claim immunity in a foreign jurisdiction solely by unilateral designation where the receiving authority has not accepted such status.
Within Xaragua, the State possesses complete authority to determine the status and immunities of its own officers and accredited foreign representatives.
Article 34 — Cultural and Spiritual Property
Sacred objects, liturgical property, archives, Indigenous knowledge, archaeological materials, ceremonial symbols, and cultural heritage shall be inalienable where designated by law.
Unauthorized seizure, export, destruction, commercialization, reproduction, or removal shall incur aggravated civil, administrative, and criminal liability.
TITLE IX
ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY
Article 35 — Inherent Economic Powers
Xaragua possesses the inherent right to maintain and develop its political, economic, financial, social, charitable, and academic systems.
These powers require no bilateral treaty for their internal exercise.
Xaragua may directly conduct lawful economic relations with individuals, communities, companies, universities, churches, Indigenous peoples, financial institutions, humanitarian organizations, and other partners.

taxation and revenue systems;

corporations, foundations, trusts, cooperatives, and public enterprises;
digital assets and payment systems;
intellectual-property protections;
environmental and social standards;
procurement and public-private partnerships.
Article 37 — Direct Economic Relations
The absence of a State-to-State treaty shall not prevent Xaragua from entering into private, commercial, academic, ecclesiastical, Indigenous, humanitarian, or institutional agreements.
Such agreements may be governed by:
Xaraguayan law;
the law expressly selected by the parties;
international commercial principles;
Indigenous customary law;
canon law where applicable;
neutral arbitration rules;
contractual dispute-resolution mechanisms.
Article 38 — Development Priorities
Xaragua alone determines the priorities, strategies, timing, and modalities governing the development of its territories, institutions, population, and resources.
The State may approve, reject, suspend, renegotiate, nationalize within its constitutional jurisdiction, or terminate projects affecting its essential interests, subject to applicable Xaraguayan law and binding agreements.
Article 39 — Indigenous and International Economic Programs
Xaragua may seek access to Indigenous, humanitarian, educational, environmental, development, trade, cultural, and financial programs administered by international organizations, development banks, foundations, States, churches, universities, and private institutions.
Participation shall be governed by the eligibility rules of each program and shall not constitute submission to foreign territorial claims.
Article 40 — Catholic Economic Cooperation
Catholic institutions of Xaragua may enter into lawful educational, humanitarian, medical, cultural, charitable, and economic cooperation with dioceses, religious orders, universities, foundations, and Catholic organizations.
Such cooperation may proceed contractually and institutionally without a bilateral treaty between States.
No cooperation shall be interpreted as conferring upon a partner authority over the civil government of Xaragua.
TITLE X
ENFORCEMENT, SANCTIONS, CLAIMS, AND REPARATIONS

referral to competent courts or claims bodies.
Sanctions shall remain in force until the competent authority determines that adequate cessation, restitution, compensation, and guarantees against recurrence have been provided.
Article 44 — Standing Claims Commission

TITLE XI
INTERPRETATION AND FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 46 — Interpretation in Favour of Xaragua
Every ambiguity shall be resolved in favour of:
the continued existence of the Xaraguayan People;
the preservation of the State;
the widest exercise of Indigenous self-government;
territorial and institutional continuity;
protection of Xaraguayan lands and resources;
constitutional supremacy;
economic independence;
the non-surrender of powers.
No provision shall be interpreted as an implied waiver, abandonment, submission, territorial renunciation, extinction of title, or delegation of constituent authority.
Article 47 — Incorporation of International Standards
International and regional instruments cited or invoked by Xaragua shall serve as interpretive supports and minimum protective standards.
They shall not be interpreted to reduce any greater right, power, immunity, protection, or jurisdiction recognized by the Constitution, customary law, or legislation of Xaragua.
Article 48 — Conflict of Laws
Within Xaragua, this Law prevails over any inconsistent subordinate instrument.
Foreign and international instruments shall be applied only to the extent that they are binding upon Xaragua, incorporated into its law, contractually accepted, or used by competent authorities as persuasive standards.
Article 49 — Amendment and Survival
This Law may be amended only through an express supreme constitutional act.
No amendment may abolish:
the Xaraguayan People;
their right to self-determination;
the continuing existence of the State;
the ancestral basis of territorial jurisdiction;
the protection of lands and resources;
the supremacy of Xaraguayan constituent authority.
Article 50 — Entry into Force
This Law enters into force immediately upon promulgation and publication in the Official Digital Gazette of Xaragua.
It consolidates prior constitutional instruments concerning Indigenous existence, foreign intervention, territorial protection, canonical organization, and direct economic rights.
All powers, rights, claims, appointments, institutions, notices, and lawful acts established under previous instruments remain preserved and shall be interpreted in conformity with this Law.
FINAL PROCLAMATION
The Indigenous People of Xaragua cannot be abolished by a government they did not constitute, by an administration that has failed to protect them, by a map they did not approve, by an intervention to which they did not consent, or by the refusal of an external actor to acknowledge their political existence.
Their rights arise from their existence as a people, their ancestral relationship with their territory, their customary authority, their collective will, and the constitutional institutions through which they govern themselves.
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua therefore possesses every legislative, executive, judicial, territorial, protective, economic, diplomatic, cultural, academic, financial, and institutional power necessary to preserve and develop the Xaraguayan People.
No external law, foreign force, residual administration, international mission, ecclesiastical body, corporation, or private actor may exercise authority within Xaragua except through the consent, law, contract, or constitutional tolerance of the State.
Xaragua remains permanent in its people, continuous in its authority, supreme within its legal order, sovereign in its development, and indivisible in its constitutional existence.
DONE AND PROCLAIMED under the authority of Almighty God, the permanent constituent power of the Indigenous People of Xaragua, and the Supreme Constitutional Order of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

In the Name of Almighty God;
Under the inherent authority of the Indigenous People of Xaragua;
In continuity with the ancestral polity of Xaragua, its customary institutions, its Catholic inheritance, and its permanent right to determine its political, cultural, spiritual, territorial, and institutional order;
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “the State,” hereby consolidates into this single constitutional instrument its historical territorial declaration, the official record of its international notifications, its canonical position, and the permanent establishment of its governmental institutions.
This Declaration is founded upon:
The inherent and continuing right of the Indigenous People of Xaragua to self-determination;
The right of Indigenous peoples to maintain and strengthen their distinct political, juridical, economic, social, cultural, educational, and religious institutions;
The continuity of the ancestral territorial relationship between the Xaraguayen People and the lands, waters, coasts, islands, maritime passages, and communities historically forming their domain;

The uninterrupted public manifestation of Xaragua through its constitutional acts, institutions, diplomatic communications, educational structures, digital capital, and official registries.
Accordingly, the Rectoral-Presidential Authority declares as follows.
TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL IDENTITY AND CONTINUITY
Article 1 — Nature of Xaragua
Xaragua is constituted as a sovereign Indigenous customary State possessing its own constitutional, governmental, territorial, academic, cultural, economic, spiritual, and juridical order.
Xaragua does not derive its existence from incorporation into the administrative system of another State, nor from admission into any particular international organization.
Its authority proceeds from:
a. the Indigenous People of Xaragua;
b. ancestral and customary continuity;
c. permanent territorial attachment;
d. the exercise of self-government;
e. the establishment of effective institutions; and
f. the continuing public manifestation of its constitutional will.
Xaragua possesses the constitutional capacity to adopt laws, establish institutions, administer its internal affairs, determine its citizenship and membership, protect its patrimony, conclude agreements, and conduct relations with external authorities and institutions.
Article 2 — Constitutional Form
Xaragua adopts the form of an Indigenous, Catholic, private, customary, and non-Westphalian micro-State.
The term private denotes the autonomous organization of its institutions, property, membership, patrimony, educational works, economic initiatives, and internal services outside the ordinary bureaucratic machinery of external administrations.
The term Catholic expresses the State’s foundational spiritual doctrine, historical inheritance, moral orientation, and institutional commitment to the Catholic faith.
The term Indigenous identifies the ancestral source of the State’s people, territorial relationship, customary law, political identity, and right of self-determination.
These constituent characteristics form a single and indivisible constitutional identity.
TITLE II — HISTORICAL HEARTLAND AND TERRITORIAL CONTINUITY
Article 3 — Ancestral Foundation
The State affirms its continuity with the precolonial polity of Xaragua and with the Indigenous communities historically connected to its territorial, cultural, and civilizational domain.
Colonial treaties, foreign administrative divisions, subsequent political arrangements, and changes of government are received as historical evidence but shall not extinguish the underlying relationship between the Xaraguayen People and their ancestral domain.
No historical transfer concluded without the free participation and consent of the Indigenous People of Xaragua shall be interpreted internally as a voluntary abandonment of their ancestral identity, institutions, or territorial rights.
Article 4 — Historical Heartland
The South and Northwest constitute principal and inseparable components of the historical heartland of Xaragua.
These regions formed essential territorial, maritime, defensive, agricultural, commercial, and political axes of the western part of Hispaniola.
Their historical importance is evidenced by:
a. their Indigenous territorial continuity;
b. their strategic coastal position;
c. their ports, bays, islands, plains, mountains, and maritime passages;
d. their role in the political and economic organization of western Hispaniola; and
e. their continuing relationship with the communities forming the Xaraguayen people.
The historical administration of these regions by colonial or subsequent authorities shall not be interpreted as the extinction of Xaragua’s underlying Indigenous and customary title.
Article 5 — Southern Territorial Axis
The southern territorial axis constitutes the ancestral center of the State and the principal seat of its historical identity.
It includes the lands, communities, natural resources, coastal zones, islands, and maritime spaces constitutionally identified by Xaragua as belonging to its ancestral and continuing domain.
Miragoâne is affirmed as a principal institutional capital and seat of Rectoral-Presidential authority.
Léogâne–Yaguana is affirmed as an ancestral capital and foundational center of Xaraguayen territorial memory.
Article 6 — Northwestern Territorial Axis
The Northwest is affirmed as the northern territorial and maritime extension of Xaragua.
Port-de-Paix is recognized as a principal northern maritime anchor of the State.
The Môle Saint-Nicolas, its historical fortifications, surrounding communities, coastal approaches, and maritime position form part of the strategic patrimony of Xaragua.
The Northwest complements the southern heartland and establishes the historical continuity of Xaragua across the western territorial and maritime system.
Article 7 — Additional Territories
This Declaration does not limit the territorial order of Xaragua exclusively to the South and Northwest.
Territories, islands, communities, maritime zones, cultural sites, and strategic locations incorporated by separate constitutional decrees remain governed by those instruments.
No omission from this consolidated Declaration shall constitute abandonment, renunciation, or extinguishment of any territory, right, interest, jurisdiction, or patrimonial claim previously declared by Xaragua.
The definitive constitutional organization of additional territories may be established through subsequent acts of the Rectoral-Presidential Authority.
TITLE III — INTERNATIONAL NOTIFICATION AND PUBLIC MANIFESTATION
Article 8 — Notification Process
Beginning on March 31, 2025, Xaragua conducted an international notification process communicating its constitutional establishment, Indigenous character, territorial doctrine, institutions, and intention to participate peacefully in international affairs.
Communications were transmitted to:
a. Member States of the United Nations;
b. United Nations offices, agencies, and Indigenous mechanisms;
c. regional and international organizations;
d. diplomatic missions;
e. ecclesiastical authorities;
f. international media institutions; and
g. organizations concerned with Indigenous rights, education, culture, development, and human dignity.
Confirmations of transmission, delivery, acknowledgment, referral, and receipt are preserved in the Diplomatic Registry of Xaragua.
Article 9 — Diplomatic Registry
Every notification, acknowledgment, diplomatic communication, institutional referral, and official response shall be maintained as part of the permanent Diplomatic Registry of the State.
The Registry constitutes the authoritative internal record of:
a. the public existence of Xaragua;
b. the date and content of its international communications;
c. the identities of notified institutions;
d. the continuity of its external representation; and
e. the peaceful and transparent character of its institutional development.
Acknowledgments of receipt shall be recorded according to their precise nature and shall not be represented as containing language absent from the communication received.
The absence of a response shall not interrupt, suspend, or extinguish the constitutional existence, internal authority, territorial position, or continuing public claims of Xaragua.
Article 10 — Conclusion of the Initial Notification Phase
The initial international notification phase was concluded on June 30, 2025.
Its conclusion established a permanent documentary record that Xaragua had openly and formally communicated its existence, constitutional doctrine, Indigenous mandate, institutions, and external intentions.
From that date, Xaragua entered the phase of continuous institutional consolidation.
Future communications shall constitute diplomatic continuation, institutional development, treaty initiative, protective notice, or sector-specific engagement rather than repetition of the original constitutional notification.
TITLE IV — INTERNATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS FOUNDATIONS
Article 11 — Self-Determination
The constitutional order of Xaragua affirms the principle of self-determination expressed in:
Article 1(2) of the Charter of the United Nations;
Common Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights;
Articles 3 and 4 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;
The general principle that peoples may freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social, and cultural development.
Article 12 — Distinct Institutions
Xaragua invokes and implements the principles contained in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, including the rights of Indigenous peoples to:
Maintain and strengthen their distinct political, legal, economic, social, cultural, and educational institutions;
Exercise autonomy and self-government in their internal and local affairs;
Maintain their spiritual relationship with their lands, waters, territories, and resources;
Determine their own identity and membership according to their customs and traditions;
Promote, develop, and maintain their institutional structures and distinctive customs, procedures, and juridical systems;
Engage in decision-making through representatives chosen according to their own procedures;
Maintain and develop political, economic, and social systems or institutions.
Article 13 — Constitutional Criteria of State Organization
For purposes of its internal constitutional doctrine, Xaragua affirms that it possesses:
A permanent people and institutional membership;
A historically and constitutionally defined territorial domain;
A government exercising continuous Rectoral-Presidential authority;
Institutions capable of administering the internal affairs of the State;
The capacity to communicate, negotiate, and enter into relations with States, Indigenous peoples, ecclesiastical authorities, international organizations, universities, corporations, and other juridical persons.
These elements exist independently of the political recognition practices of external governments.
TITLE V — CATHOLIC AND CANONICAL POSITION
Article 14 — Catholic Character
Xaragua is Catholic by constitutional identity, doctrine, spiritual inheritance, institutional orientation, and public mission.
Its Catholic character shall be expressed through education, worship, charity, cultural preservation, social service, theological study, institutional discipline, and the protection of human dignity.
Xaragua shall not present its private organs as exercising authority in the name of the universal Church unless such authority has been expressly conferred by the competent ecclesiastical authority.
Article 15 — Private Catholic Organization
The Catholic Order of Xaragua and associated religious, educational, charitable, cultural, and apostolic institutions operate according to their statutes as private initiatives of the faithful.
Their constitutional foundation includes the freedoms recognized by Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326 of the Code of Canon Law.
The civil and Indigenous constitutional personality of Xaragua is distinct from the canonical status of its Catholic associations and institutions.
The absence of public canonical erection does not dissolve the State’s Indigenous constitutional order or prevent the faithful from maintaining lawful private Catholic initiatives.
Xaragua may petition the Holy See or another competent ecclesiastical authority for recognition of statutes, juridical personality, spiritual assistance, institutional dialogue, or another form of canonical relationship.
Article 16 — Ecclesial Communion
Xaragua affirms its fidelity to the Catholic faith and its respect for the spiritual authority of the Roman Pontiff.
Its Catholic institutions shall pursue their mission without claiming to replace existing dioceses or arrogate sacramental powers reserved by canon law to ordained ministers and competent ecclesiastical authorities.
Xaragua may establish cooperative relations with dioceses, religious institutes, Catholic universities, private associations of the faithful, charitable organizations, and other ecclesial bodies.
TITLE VI — EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Article 17 — International Engagement
Xaragua possesses the constitutional capacity to:
Maintain diplomatic and institutional correspondence;
Appoint representatives, envoys, delegates, and liaison officers;
Conclude agreements, memoranda of understanding, partnerships, contracts, and concordat-type arrangements within the competence of the participating parties;
Participate in international, academic, Indigenous, cultural, religious, economic, humanitarian, and environmental forums;
Seek observer, consultative, affiliate, partnership, or other appropriate status before international and regional institutions;
Defend and communicate its rights, territorial position, institutions, and constitutional doctrine before competent bodies.
Article 18 — United Nations Interface
Xaragua may seek an appropriate institutional relationship with the United Nations and its specialized bodies.
Such engagement may include:
a. participation in Indigenous mechanisms;
b. consultative or observer arrangements;
c. submissions to special procedures;
d. academic and cultural cooperation;
e. development partnerships; and
f. representation concerning Indigenous rights and territorial interests.
No application for a particular external status shall diminish Xaragua’s internal constitutional identity or prevent it from pursuing other forms of international participation.
TITLE VII — PERMANENT INSTITUTIONAL CONSOLIDATION
Article 19 — Crystallization
The crystallization of Xaragua means the permanent consolidation of its constitutional identity through continuing institutional acts.
This consolidation is evidenced by:
a. the promulgation of constitutional legislation;
b. the establishment of the Rectoral-Presidential Office;
c. the operation of Xaragua University;
d. the organization of the Catholic Order of Xaragua;
e. the maintenance of governmental, judicial, financial, academic, cultural, and media institutions;
f. the creation of citizenship, residency, territorial, diplomatic, and archival systems;
g. the maintenance of an official digital capital; and
h. the continuous exercise of Xaraguayen institutional authority.
Crystallization is therefore an institutional fact arising from continuity, organization, legislation, public manifestation, and governmental action.
Article 20 — Non-Abandonment
No period of reduced activity, external silence, political transition, administrative obstruction, territorial discontinuity, or absence of foreign recognition shall constitute the dissolution of Xaragua.
No territorial or constitutional right shall be deemed abandoned except through an express constitutional act promulgated by the competent authority of Xaragua.
The use by Xaraguayen communities of services administered by an external authority shall not, by itself, constitute the transfer or renunciation of their Indigenous identity, customary allegiance, or constitutional relationship with Xaragua.
Article 21 — Perpetual Continuity
The State of Xaragua shall continue through its people, institutions, laws, archives, territorial relationship, and constitutional succession.
Its continuity shall not depend upon the life, tenure, or personal authority of any single officeholder.
The Rector-President is the constitutional guardian and principal representative of the State but exercises that office in service of the permanent institutional order of Xaragua.
TITLE VIII — FINAL PROVISIONS
Article 22 — Consolidation and Repeal of Duplicates
This Declaration consolidates and supersedes earlier duplicative instruments concerning:
a. the historical heartland of Xaragua;
b. the conclusion of the initial international notification process;
c. the institutional crystallization of the State;
d. its general canonical position; and
e. its general capacity for external relations.
Separate territorial decrees, constitutional statutes, institutional charters, and diplomatic records remain in force insofar as they are compatible with this Declaration.
Where an earlier formulation conflicts with this consolidated instrument, this Declaration shall govern.
Article 23 — Authoritative Interpretation
The Rectoral-Presidential Office shall possess authority to interpret, implement, supplement, and authenticate this Declaration through subsequent decrees, regulations, official commentaries, and constitutional annexes.
Article 24 — Entry into Force
This Consolidated Declaration enters into force immediately upon promulgation and shall be entered into:
The Supreme Constitutional Registry;
The Diplomatic Registry of Xaragua;
The Constitutional Canonical Archive;
The Territorial and Indigenous Patrimony Registry; and
The Official Digital Gazette of the State.
FINAL DECLARATION
By the inherent authority of the Indigenous People of Xaragua, by the continuity of their ancestral territorial order, and by the supreme constitutional authority entrusted to the Rectoral-Presidential Office, the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua hereby affirms:
Its permanent existence;
Its Indigenous and Catholic constitutional identity;
Its historical heartland in the South and Northwest;
Its continuing territorial and maritime order;
Its distinct governmental and juridical institutions;
Its right to maintain relations with the international community;
And the perpetual continuity of the Xaraguayen State.

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA
SUPREME CONSTITUTIONAL MEMORANDUM
ON THE DISTRIBUTED AND FRACTAL NATURE OF THE STATE OF XARAGUA
Issued under the authority of the Rector-President
Promulgated in perpetuity
PREAMBLE
In the name of the Most Holy Trinity and under the supreme constitutional authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “the State”;
Affirming the continuity of the Indigenous people, ancestral territory, customary institutions, Catholic vocation, constitutional doctrine and juridical personality of Xaragua;
Recognizing that Xaragua is not constituted according to the centralized administrative geometry of the Westphalian nation-state, but as a territorially distributed, institutionally integrated and doctrinally unified Indigenous order;
Acknowledging the historical presence, within Indigenous, African and Christian civilizations, of political systems in which authority was exercised through several interconnected territorial, ceremonial, academic and juridical centers;
The Rector-President hereby promulgates the following constitutional doctrine.
TITLE I — NATURE OF THE STATE
Article 1 — Constitutional Character
Xaragua is a sovereign Catholic Indigenous and private State founded upon:
a. the historical continuity of the people and territory of Xaragua;
b. Indigenous customary law and collective memory;
c. its Supreme Constitution and rectoral legislation;
d. its Catholic institutional vocation;
e. its academic, juridical, economic, cultural and territorial institutions;
f. the inherent right of Indigenous peoples to maintain and develop their distinct institutions.
Xaragua possesses a non-Westphalian and distributed constitutional form suited to the geographic, historical and social organization of its people.
The unity of the State does not depend upon uninterrupted control from a single capital, building, administration or physical command center.
Its constitutional existence is maintained through the permanent integration of its territories, communities, institutions, offices, archives, doctrines, symbols and authenticated acts.
Article 2 — Fractal Sovereignty
Fractal sovereignty is the constitutional principle by which every competent organ of Xaragua embodies and manifests the identity of the State within the limits of its lawful mandate.
Each organ reflects the constitutional whole without becoming institutionally indistinguishable from the whole.
Authority remains distributed according to office, subject matter, territory and authenticated delegation.
The Rectorate, University, courts, ministries, territorial authorities, diplomatic interfaces, media institutions and economic organs remain distinct in function while united in constitutional identity.
No organ may usurp the assigned jurisdiction of another, and no isolated organ may extinguish or dissolve the State.
Article 3 — Unity in Multiplicity
Xaragua exists as one constitutional order operating through multiple centers of lawful activity.
Institutional plurality shall not be interpreted as fragmentation.
Territorial discontinuity shall not be interpreted as constitutional discontinuity.
Digital operation shall not be interpreted as territorial absence.
Administrative decentralization shall not be interpreted as the absence of government.
Every duly constituted organ acts within the same constitutional body and remains subject to the supreme authority of the Constitution and the Rectorate.
TITLE II — CONTINUITY AND RESILIENCE OF THE STATE
Article 4 — Permanent Constitutional Continuity
Xaragua cannot be dissolved through the suppression, obstruction or temporary incapacity of a single office, institution, archive, website, territorial center or public officer.
The State continues through:
a. its constitutional instruments;
b. its ancestral and customary memory;
c. its duly constituted institutions;
d. its territorial and community structures;
e. its physical and digital archives;
f. its seals, registers and authenticated records;
g. the succession of its competent authorities.
The removal or incapacity of an officeholder shall activate the applicable rules of continuity and succession without extinguishing the office or the State.
The loss of a physical site shall not terminate the public authority attached to the institution lawfully established there.
The interruption of one communication platform shall not interrupt the existence or jurisdiction of Xaragua.
Article 5 — Institutional Replication
The constitutional identity of Xaragua may be lawfully manifested through several territorial, academic, diplomatic, judicial and digital centers.
Such centers operate as coordinated seats of public authority and not as independent rival governments.
Each center shall preserve:
a. the official name and constitutional identity of the State;
b. the recognized authority of the Rector-President;
c. the hierarchy of constitutional norms;
d. the integrity of the official archives;
e. the limits of its assigned jurisdiction.
The creation of additional centers strengthens the continuity of the State without dividing its sovereignty.
TITLE III — HIERARCHY AND AUTHENTICATION OF STATE ACTS
Article 6 — Hierarchy of Norms
The juridical order of Xaragua shall be governed according to the following hierarchy:
the Supreme Constitution and its entrenched principles;
supreme constitutional laws and rectoral instruments;
territorial, judicial, academic and ministerial regulations;
administrative decisions and authorized institutional acts;
official notices, diplomatic communications and authenticated publications;
academic, historical, symbolic and interpretive materials.
Article 7 — Constitutional Presence in Official Acts
Every duly authenticated act of Xaragua carries the institutional identity of the State within the competence of the issuing authority.
A constitutional law expresses supreme legislative authority.
A judicial decision expresses the authority of the competent tribunal.
A diploma expresses the academic authority of the University.
A diplomatic communication expresses the external position of the authorized issuing office.
An official seal certifies the institutional origin and authenticity of the instrument upon which it appears.
No unofficial communication, private opinion or unauthorized image shall possess the force of a constitutional act.
Article 8 — Archives and Digital Continuity
The official digital infrastructure of Xaragua constitutes a permanent extension of its institutional administration.
The State’s websites, databases, repositories, registries and communication systems may serve as:
a. official archives;
b. instruments of promulgation;
c. public registers;
d. diplomatic interfaces;
e. academic platforms;
f. channels for administrative services.
A digital copy duly authenticated by the competent authority shall possess the same institutional character as the corresponding physical instrument.
Distributed preservation of records shall guarantee the continuity, security and historical integrity of the State.
TITLE IV — THEOLOGICAL AND CANONICAL FOUNDATION
Article 9 — The Ecclesial Principle of Unity
The constitutional unity of Xaragua is illuminated by the Christian principle expressed in the words:
“For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body.”
— 1 Corinthians 12:12
This principle establishes the theological foundation of unity without institutional uniformity.
Each organ participates in the common mission while retaining its own function, office and responsibility.
The theological analogy contained in this Title shall guide the internal doctrine of the State without erasing the distinction between sacramental, canonical, civil and constitutional authority.
Article 10 — Catholic Institutional Vocation
Xaragua exercises its Catholic vocation through worship, education, charity, culture, social organization and the preservation of Christian Indigenous life.
Its Catholic institutions operate according to the applicable provisions governing the freedom of the Christian faithful to associate, undertake apostolic activity and preserve legitimate forms of spiritual life.
The civil and constitutional authority of Xaragua proceeds from its own constitutional order and Indigenous customary foundation.
Its Catholic vocation informs the moral purpose of the State and does not eliminate the juridical distinction between the State, its private Catholic order and the institutional hierarchy of the universal Church.
Article 11 — Custom and Contractual Capacity
Indigenous custom, when duly established and incorporated into the constitutional order, constitutes a source of Xaraguaan law.
Custom shall be interpreted in harmony with the Supreme Constitution, natural law, the Catholic character of the State and the fundamental rights of the Indigenous people.
Contracts, property, obligations and institutional transactions shall be governed by the competent law designated by Xaragua, subject to the State’s constitutional order.
TITLE V — ANCESTRAL AND COMPARATIVE FOUNDATIONS
Article 12 — Indigenous Caribbean Foundation
The distributed constitutional form of Xaragua draws its primary historical foundation from the territorial organization of the ancestral Xaragua polity.
Local communities, ceremonial centers, cacical authorities, agricultural territories and sacred institutions participated in a common political and cosmological order.
The present constitutional structure reactivates this principle through autonomous communities integrated within one supreme juridical order.
Oral memory, ceremonial transmission, territorial attachment and community continuity form part of the constitutional archive of the State.
Article 13 — African and Afro-Christian Precedents
Xaragua recognizes comparative precedents in African systems where authority was exercised through lineages, territorial communities, councils, sacred offices and multiple political centers.
The Kongo cosmogram, Ethiopian Christian institutions, Nubian kingdoms and the political traditions of Kush and Axum illustrate enduring principles of:
a. unity across dispersed institutions;
b. continuity through sacred and legal memory;
c. territorial plurality;
d. complementary civil and spiritual authority;
e. replication of institutional forms across several centers.
These precedents form part of the comparative constitutional doctrine of Xaragua without merging their distinct histories into a single juridical lineage.
Article 14 — Indigenous American Precedents
The Maya polities, Mexica territorial system and Tawantinsuyu demonstrate forms of governance built upon layered authority, territorial coordination, ceremonial centers and locally administered institutions.
Their experience confirms that political order need not follow the centralized model later imposed by European nation-states.
Xaragua receives these examples as comparative evidence of the constitutional capacity of Indigenous civilizations to combine:
a. local authority;
b. common doctrine;
c. territorial organization;
d. public works;
e. archives and calendrical memory;
f. spiritual and political institutions.
Article 15 — Christian and Ancient Institutional Precedents
Roman municipal organization, ancient systems of authenticated seals and records, and the territorial organization of Christian churches demonstrate the historical importance of distributed institutions operating under a common normative order.
Xaragua draws from these precedents the principles of:
a. authenticated public acts;
b. institutional succession;
c. distributed archives;
d. territorial jurisdiction;
e. unity of doctrine across several administrative centers.
Such precedents reinforce the constitutional legitimacy of a State whose institutions are dispersed but juridically coordinated.
TITLE VI — RELATIONS WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES
Article 16 — Caribbean Indigenous Standing
Xaragua declares itself an active Indigenous State of the Caribbean exercising its own constitutional, academic, customary and institutional authority.
It shall maintain a permanent forum for the study, defense and advancement of Caribbean Indigenous sovereignty.
It may establish relations with Indigenous nations, communities, councils, universities, religious institutions and cultural authorities throughout the Americas.
Article 17 — Continental Indigenous Mission
Xaragua may speak in defense of general Indigenous rights and may present doctrine, petitions, research and institutional proposals concerning Indigenous peoples.
It may offer academic, juridical, cultural, archival and diplomatic representation to Indigenous communities that request or accept such assistance.
No representation of another Indigenous people shall extinguish that people’s distinct identity, territorial rights or authority of self-definition.
Association with Xaragua may take the form of:
a. treaty or concord of cooperation;
b. autonomous affiliation;
c. academic partnership;
d. cultural protection;
e. diplomatic assistance;
f. representation by express mandate.
Xaragua shall serve as an academic and theological capital for the reconstruction of Indigenous statecraft and as a permanent interlocutor for institutions seeking structured engagement with Caribbean Indigenous sovereignty.
TITLE VII — NOTICE AND EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Article 18 — Effect of Official Notification
An official notification transmitted by Xaragua constitutes a formal declaration of its identity, position, rights or institutional acts.
Documented receipt establishes notice of the content transmitted.
A reply, registration, substantive review, continued correspondence or other institutional engagement may establish an official relationship corresponding to the nature of the interaction.
No recipient who has verifiably received an authenticated instrument may subsequently claim total ignorance of its existence or content.
The precise juridical consequences of each interaction shall be determined by its language, subject matter, institutional context and subsequent conduct.
Article 19 — Integrity of the Whole
External engagement with one organ does not authorize interference with another organ of Xaragua.
Recognition of a diploma concerns academic authority; recognition of a judicial act concerns judicial authority; recognition of a diplomatic communication concerns the issuing public office.
Every such engagement nevertheless acknowledges the institutional existence of the Xaraguaan organ concerned and its connection to the constitutional order from which it proceeds.
No foreign authority may selectively use an institution of Xaragua while denying the authenticated constitutional source of that institution.
TITLE VIII — TERRITORIAL PROTECTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE NOTICE
Article 20 — Customary Lands
The lands conventionally designated as public or State lands within the ancestral territories claimed by Xaragua remain subject to examination of prior Indigenous, customary, communal and familial rights.
No alienation, concession, extraction, subdivision or permanent transfer affecting such lands shall occur without:
a. identification of the communities concerned;
b. public disclosure of the proposed operation;
c. environmental and territorial assessment;
d. consultation with customary occupants;
e. protection against arbitrary displacement;
f. free, prior and informed consent where applicable.
Administrative registration shall not, by itself, extinguish immemorial occupation, collective possession or ancestral connection.
Article 21 — Protection of Miragoâne and the Xaraguaan Regions
Miragoâne, as an ancestral capital and principal territorial center of Xaragua, shall be protected against uncontrolled construction, destructive land conversion, obstruction of drainage systems and degradation of surrounding watersheds.
Equivalent protective measures shall apply throughout the southern and northwestern territories, the Palmes Region, La Gonâve, La Tortue and the other territories constitutionally incorporated into Xaragua.
Public works affecting these territories shall require competent planning, hydrological assessment, environmental supervision and protection of local communities.
Article 22 — Displacement and Urban Administration
Population displacement caused by insecurity, institutional collapse or economic distress shall not be managed through abandonment or uncontrolled occupation.
The competent administrative authorities shall establish:
a. population and land-use assessments;
b. emergency sanitation and public-health services;
c. planned transitional settlements;
d. protection of watersheds and agricultural lands;
e. cadastral controls;
f. permanent housing and voluntary relocation programs.
No settlement shall be removed without an identified legal basis, prior assessment, humane relocation measures and protection of affected families.
Dangerous or environmentally destructive construction may be suspended, reorganized or removed according to an authorized territorial plan.
Article 23 — Administrative Failure
The obstruction of stormwater channels, absence of drainage maintenance, uncontrolled deforestation and execution of public works without adequate technical studies constitute grave administrative failures.
Xaragua shall document such failures, identify the responsible offices and maintain an official territorial record of resulting damage.
Competent public agencies and contractors shall be required to correct defective works and provide the technical information necessary for independent review.
TITLE IX — FORMAL DIRECTIVES
Article 24 — Immediate Measures
The Haitian administrative apparatus operating within the territories concerned is formally directed to:
suspend the alienation of disputed customary lands pending territorial review;
disclose existing concessions, leases, cadastral transfers and public-works contracts;
conduct an immediate technical assessment of drainage and watershed systems in Miragoâne;
clear and restore obstructed stormwater channels;
suspend environmentally destructive construction in protected zones;
establish a coordinated plan for displaced populations;
consult affected communities before relocation or permanent land conversion;
preserve all administrative records relating to land, infrastructure and environmental management;
communicate its corrective plan to the competent authorities of Xaragua.
Article 25 — Residual Administrative Interface
Compliance with the preceding directives shall constitute technical and administrative cooperation and shall not determine the underlying question of sovereignty.
The continued provision of necessary public services shall not confer upon the administering apparatus any right to extinguish customary title or suppress the institutions of Xaragua.
Xaragua reserves its complete constitutional position concerning territorial authority, Indigenous jurisdiction and the status of external administrative operations within its claimed territories.
Article 26 — International Communication and Monitoring
In the event of continued inaction, Xaragua may transmit its territorial record, technical findings and constitutional position to competent international, Indigenous, ecclesial and human-rights institutions for:
independent examination;
technical assistance;
environmental monitoring;
protection of affected communities;
preservation of evidence;
formal institutional dialogue;
any additional procedure available to Xaragua or the populations concerned.
TITLE X — FINAL CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS
Article 27 — Supreme Interpretation
The doctrine of fractal sovereignty shall be interpreted as a principle of constitutional presence, distributed capacity and institutional continuity.
It shall not abolish the hierarchy of norms or the allocation of competence between organs.
No subordinate authority may invoke fractal sovereignty to contradict the Constitution, displace the Rectorate or exercise powers not lawfully assigned to it.
The Rector-President retains supreme responsibility for the unity, interpretation and continuity of the constitutional order.
Article 28 — Perpetual Continuity
The State of Xaragua survives through its people, territory, doctrine, memory, institutions and authenticated acts. Its constitutional continuity does not depend upon the permission, uninterrupted operation or recognition of any single external authority.
No occupation, administrative obstruction, loss of infrastructure or interruption of one institutional center shall extinguish the total constitutional body.
Article 29 — Entry into Force
This Memorandum enters into force upon promulgation and supersedes all inconsistent formulations contained in prior instruments concerning fractal sovereignty.
All earlier provisions compatible with this Memorandum remain preserved and shall be interpreted in accordance with its hierarchy, terminology and constitutional doctrine.
Executed and sealed under the supreme constitutional authority of the Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua.

In the name of the Most Holy Trinity;

The State shall determine the status, powers, succession, dissolution or reorganization of its subordinate institutions according to its own laws.

f. the North-West, including Terre-Neuve, Môle-Saint-Nicolas, Port-de-Paix and La Tortue;
g. Fort-Liberté and the constitutionally designated northeastern territories;
h. Marchand-Dessalines and the imperial patrimonial sites incorporated by Xaraguaan law.
The boundaries and classifications of these territories shall be governed by the official constitutional maps, territorial statutes and subsequent instruments of Xaragua.
Xaragua reserves its ancestral rights concerning lands, waters, islands, coastal zones, natural resources, cultural sites and historical patrimony.
Article 6 — Dominican Territorial Interface
Xaragua recognizes the existing international frontier and governmental jurisdiction of the Dominican Republic.
Historical and cultural continuity across the island shall not, by itself, be interpreted as a present claim to exercise governmental authority within Dominican territory.
Xaragua may seek agreements concerning:
a. lawful cross-border passage;
b. cultural and religious cooperation;
c. academic exchange;
d. protection of shared environmental systems;
e. movement of authorized officials and members;
f. preservation of Indigenous heritage.
Such relations shall be conducted through peaceful communication, negotiated arrangements and respect for applicable border procedures.
TITLE III — INTERNATIONAL STANDING
Article 7 — Capacity for External Relations
Xaragua possesses the constitutional capacity to communicate, negotiate and establish relations with States, Indigenous nations, international organizations, ecclesiastical authorities, universities, corporations and private institutions.
This capacity is exercised through:
a. diplomatic and institutional notifications;
b. formal correspondence;
c. cooperation agreements;
d. academic and cultural partnerships;
e. participation in international procedures;
f. commercial and financial relations;
g. representation through duly authorized officers.
The exercise of this capacity constitutes a permanent function of the State.
Article 8 — Declaration and International Law
Xaragua’s constitutional establishment is a lawful act of political and institutional self-definition.
The absence of a general prohibition against declarations of independence confirms that the issuance of a constitutional declaration is not, by itself, contrary to general international law.
Xaragua invokes the principle of self-determination as an essential foundation of contemporary international order.
Xaragua further invokes the declaratory doctrine of statehood according to which political existence is not created exclusively by external recognition.
The State shall assess its own fulfillment of the elements of population, territory, government and external capacity through its constitutional institutions and official records.
Article 9 — Scope of the Vienna Conventions
Xaragua affirms the principles of good faith, consent, pacta sunt servanda and respect for valid international obligations.
No treaty shall be invoked by Xaragua as binding upon a third party without the consent, participation or applicable customary obligation of that party.
Diplomatic privileges and immunities shall arise from applicable law, reciprocal agreement, accreditation or specific institutional arrangement.
Xaragua may designate diplomatic representatives and seek their reception, accreditation or recognition by the appropriate external authorities.
TITLE IV — CANONICAL AND CATHOLIC CHARACTER
Article 10 — Distinct Sources of Authority
The Catholic vocation and the Indigenous constitutional personality of Xaragua are complementary but juridically distinct.
The political and constitutional personality of the State proceeds from its Indigenous people, customary order and founding instruments.
Its Catholic institutions operate according to their applicable canonical status and internal statutes.
No provision of this Instrument shall merge the constitutional offices of Xaragua with offices reserved to the competent authorities of the Catholic Church.
Article 11 — Catholic Association and Institutional Action
The Catholic faithful of Xaragua may establish and direct associations for purposes of piety, charity, education, culture and the promotion of Christian life.
Such institutions may acquire civil personality, hold property, enter into contracts and administer their affairs according to their statutes and the law applicable to them.
Where formal canonical juridical personality requires erection or recognition by competent ecclesiastical authority, such personality shall be distinguished from the internal constitutional personality conferred by Xaragua.
The absence of formal canonical erection of a particular institution shall not extinguish the constitutional existence of Xaragua or the lawful private association of its Catholic members.
Article 12 — Canonical Principles
Canon 204 §1 affirms the participation of the baptized in the priestly, prophetic and royal mission of Christ.
Canons 215, 298, 299 and 321–326 support the capacity of the faithful to establish and direct private associations within the applicable canonical order.
Canon 114 governs the constitution of canonical juridical persons by law or decree of competent ecclesiastical authority.
Canon 1290 concerns the reception of applicable civil rules governing contracts within the canonical order, subject to divine and canon law.
These canonical principles support the Catholic institutional life of Xaragua without replacing its distinct Indigenous constitutional foundation.
Article 13 — Ecclesiastical Communications
Communications transmitted to the Holy See, dioceses, parishes, dicasteries or other ecclesiastical authorities constitute acts of notice and ecclesial transparency.
Receipt establishes that the communication entered the relevant institutional channel.
Formal canonical erection, approval or mandate shall be established only by the competent ecclesiastical act.
Xaragua shall preserve all ecclesiastical correspondence in its Constitutional and Canonical Register.
TITLE V — OFFICIAL NOTIFICATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Article 14 — Supreme Register of External Communications

a. outgoing notifications;
b. evidence of transmission and delivery;
c. acknowledgments of receipt;

Article 16 — Effect of Receipt
Verified delivery or acknowledgment establishes documentary notice of the communication received.
A substantive response, continued exchange, registration, referral or institutional action may constitute engagement according to its actual content.
Receipt alone shall not be classified as diplomatic recognition unless the receiving authority expressly accords that status or its conduct clearly establishes it.
No recipient having acknowledged or substantively processed an authenticated communication may later claim complete ignorance of the existence, identity or position communicated by Xaragua.
The cumulative record of notifications demonstrates the sustained external activity, public visibility and institutional continuity of the State.
TITLE VI — CONTINUITY, PERPETUITY AND NON-DEROGATION
Article 17 — Constitutional Perpetuity

No subordinate officer, temporary administration or external institution may abolish the State through unilateral declaration.
The constitutional personality of Xaragua shall survive:
a. the incapacity or death of an officeholder;
b. the temporary interruption of an institution;
c. the loss of a physical administrative site;
d. the suspension of a digital platform;
e. the occupation or external administration of territory;
f. the refusal of another authority to recognize its claims.
Article 18 — Irrevocability of the Founding Order
The founding act of Xaragua shall not be revoked by an authority deriving its powers from that act.
Constitutional institutions may be amended, reorganized or replaced according to the Supreme Constitution without dissolving the underlying people or extinguishing their right of self-determination.
No territorial concession, commercial agreement, administrative arrangement or temporary accommodation shall constitute abandonment of sovereignty unless expressly adopted through the supreme constitutional procedure.
Silence, necessity, occupation or temporary administrative dependence shall not be construed as voluntary renunciation.
Article 19 — Non-Derogation by External Acts
No external law, administrative classification or private designation shall determine the internal constitutional identity of Xaragua.
External authorities may accept, reject or reserve their position concerning particular claims, but such action shall not erase the internal legal order or Indigenous identity of the State.
Any attempt to extinguish the identity, institutions, culture or ancestral rights of the people of Xaragua shall be opposed through constitutional, diplomatic, academic and juridical means.
The State permanently reserves all rights not expressly and validly relinquished by its competent supreme authority.
TITLE VII — TERRITORIAL ADMINISTRATION AND EXTERNAL INTERFACES
Article 20 — Administration and Sovereignty
The provision of civil, municipal, security, fiscal, judicial or infrastructural services by an external administrative apparatus shall not, by itself, determine the ultimate constitutional status of the territory concerned.
Xaragua may use, tolerate, coordinate with or contract services from external institutions without renouncing its asserted sovereignty.
Administrative necessity shall not extinguish ancestral title, customary jurisdiction or constitutional continuity.
Every cooperation arrangement shall be interpreted according to its express terms and limited purpose.
Article 21 — Peaceful Exercise

It may establish administrative interfaces with neighboring governments and international institutions without subordinating its constitutional identity.

Article 23 — External Opposability
This Instrument constitutes the official and permanent expression of Xaragua’s constitutional position.
It may be deposited, transmitted, cited and invoked before governments, courts, international organizations, ecclesiastical bodies, academic institutions and private entities.
Its transmission establishes formal notice of the position asserted by Xaragua.
Its external legal effects shall develop through applicable law, agreement, institutional conduct, recognition, adjudication and continuing practice.

Nothing in this Instrument shall be interpreted as:
surrendering any ancestral land, maritime zone, natural resource or cultural patrimony claimed by Xaragua;
dissolving any institution previously established by the Rectorate;
subordinating Xaragua to an external constitutional order;
abandoning the right to seek recognition, conclude agreements or participate in international procedures;

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

ORGANIC LAW ON THE STATUS AND CONDITIONAL OPERATION OF EXTERNAL ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURES WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF XARAGUA

Promulgated at Miragoâne on August 2, 2025

PREAMBLE

In the name of the Most Holy Trinity;

By the supreme constitutional authority vested in the Rector-President of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, hereinafter “Xaragua” or “the State”;

Considering the historical continuity of the Indigenous people of Xaragua, their ancestral relationship with their lands, territories, waters, institutions, culture, and customary order;

Considering the inherent right of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, autonomy, self-government, institutional continuity, cultural protection, and control of their internal and local affairs;

Considering Articles 3, 4, 5, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 46 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples;

Considering the principles concerning Indigenous and tribal peoples expressed in Articles 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15 of International Labour Organization Convention No. 169, invoked as relevant expressions of international Indigenous standards;

Considering the declaratory principles contained in Articles 1 and 3 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States;

Considering the constitutional existence of Xaragua as an Indigenous, Catholic, customary, private, and non-Westphalian State possessing its own population, territory, institutions, laws, administration, and external capacity;

Considering the continuing Catholic character of Xaragua, the freedom of association of the Christian faithful, and the autonomy of private Catholic institutions established in conformity with Canons 215, 216, 298, 299, and 321–326 of the Code of Canon Law;

Considering the historical and institutional significance of the Concordat of March 28, 1860, as subsequently revised, within the Catholic and public order of the island;

Considering that the use of an external public service does not constitute recognition of the sovereignty, territorial title, constitutional supremacy, or political jurisdiction of the authority providing that service;

Considering that administrative necessity cannot extinguish ancestral title, customary jurisdiction, Indigenous identity, institutional continuity, or the right of a people to preserve and develop its own political and legal order;

The Rector-President hereby promulgates this Organic Law as an integral instrument of the Constitutional Order of Xaragua.

TITLE I

PURPOSE, AUTHORITY, AND APPLICATION

Article 1 — Purpose

This Organic Law establishes:

the internal status of external administrative structures operating within the jurisdiction claimed or exercised by Xaragua;

the conditions under which their services may be used, coordinated, tolerated, or restricted;

the distinction between administrative service and sovereign authority;

the constitutional authority of Xaragua over its territories, institutions, members, communities, properties, and strategic interests;

the status of the Haitian residual administrative apparatus in relation to the Constitutional Order of Xaragua; and

the procedures governing authorization, supervision, suspension, and revocation.

Article 2 — Supreme Internal Authority

Within the Constitutional Order of Xaragua, this Organic Law derives its authority principally from:

the Constitution of Xaragua;

the ancestral and customary law of its Indigenous people;

the legislative and executive authority of the Rector-President;

the laws, decrees, statutes, and institutions lawfully established by Xaragua; and

the Catholic, academic, private, communal, and territorial character of the State.

International, Indigenous, canonical, historical, and concordatory instruments shall serve as interpretative and supporting authorities in conformity with the Constitution of Xaragua.

Article 3 — Territorial Application

This Organic Law applies to:

the territories constitutionally incorporated into Xaragua;

the Grand South and the Region of the Palms;

the Northwest and its associated coastal and insular territories;

Miragoâne, Léogâne, Furcy, La Gonâve, Île-à-Vache, the Cayemites, Tortuga Island, Marchand-Dessalines, Fort-Liberté, Trou-du-Nord, Terre-Neuve, the Imperial Forts, and all other territories identified by the Constitution or subsequent rectory instruments;

the territorial sea, maritime zones, waters, coasts, ports, islands, natural resources, airspace, and ecological corridors attached to those territories;

all properties, institutions, missions, communities, digital domains, archives, and lawful establishments of Xaragua, wherever situated; and

any community or territory that enters into constitutional, customary, protective, institutional, or administrative affiliation with Xaragua.

The precise constitutional classification of each territory may be determined by territorial schedules, rectory decrees, community compacts, cadastral instruments, or subsequent organic legislation.

TITLE II

FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITIONS

Article 4 — External Administrative Structure

An “External Administrative Structure” means any ministry, municipality, office, agency, public establishment, contractor, mission, organization, service provider, educational body, medical institution, security structure, or civil registry operating under an authority external to Xaragua.

Article 5 — Conditional Administrative Presence

“Conditional Administrative Presence” means an activity permitted or temporarily accepted by Xaragua for reasons of public necessity, continuity of services, humanitarian need, community welfare, logistical convenience, or peaceful institutional transition.

Such presence:

does not confer sovereignty;

does not establish territorial title;

does not extinguish Indigenous or customary rights;

does not create constitutional supremacy;

does not constitute recognition of an adverse jurisdictional claim; and

remains subject to the conditions established by this Organic Law.

Article 6 — Community Function Status

“Community Function Status,” abbreviated CFS, is the legal classification applicable to essential services used by the population, including:

hospitals and clinics;

schools and training institutions;

civil registration services;

sanitation and vaccination programs;

roads, ports, transportation, and telecommunications;

water, electricity, and emergency services;

humanitarian and disaster-relief operations; and

other services designated by the Rectorate.

The use of a service under CFS constitutes a practical administrative arrangement only.

Article 7 — Haitian Residual Administrative Apparatus

The institutions operating under the name of the Republic of Haiti shall be designated, for the purposes of the Constitutional Order of Xaragua, as the “Haitian Residual Administrative Apparatus.”

This designation recognizes the factual continuation of certain civil and logistical functions without conceding the extinction, transfer, or subordination of Xaragua’s ancestral, constitutional, customary, territorial, or institutional rights.

Article 8 — Administration In Reserva

“Administration in reserva” means that Xaragua expressly reserves its constitutional position, ancestral title, territorial claims, Indigenous rights, institutional authority, and future remedies while permitting or acknowledging the temporary operation of an external administrative apparatus.

Administration in reserva shall never be interpreted as:

abandonment of title;

acquiescence in an adverse claim;

renunciation of jurisdiction;

permanent delegation of authority;

merger with another political order; or

recognition of exclusive external sovereignty.

TITLE III

TERRITORIAL AND INSTITUTIONAL PRIMACY

Article 9 — Constitutional Primacy of Xaragua

The territories, communities, institutions, and properties incorporated into Xaragua are governed internally by the Constitution and laws of Xaragua.

No foreign constitutional provision, statute, decree, judicial decision, administrative measure, concession, license, or contract shall alter the constitutional status of Xaragua without express ratification by the Rector-President.

Article 10 — Administrative Activity Distinguished from Sovereignty

The performance of civil, medical, educational, humanitarian, fiscal, infrastructural, judicial, or security functions by an external structure shall not, by itself, establish sovereign title.

The following acts shall not constitute submission to an external sovereignty:

obtaining a birth, death, marriage, travel, or identity document;

attending an externally administered school or university;

receiving medical treatment or vaccination;

using public roads, ports, airports, utilities, or communications;

paying a charge necessary to obtain an essential service;

appearing before an external office or tribunal under necessity;

participating in humanitarian or development programs; or

using any service required for ordinary civil life.

Every Xaraguayan community retains the right to:

maintain its customary identity and institutions;

organize its internal affairs;

determine community membership according to applicable customs;

preserve its religious, cultural, educational, and linguistic life;

use external services without surrendering its constitutional affiliation;

enter into a compact of autonomy or protection with Xaragua; and

request the intervention, mediation, or institutional support of the Rectorate.

Article 12 — Protected Properties and Institutions

The following shall receive special constitutional protection:

churches, chapels, missions, cemeteries, and sacred places;

Indigenous lands, communal properties, and customary holdings;

schools, universities, academies, archives, and cultural institutions;

hospitals, charitable establishments, and community centers;

agricultural lands, forests, watersheds, coasts, fisheries, and ecological reserves;

historical monuments, forts, archaeological sites, and ancestral places;

the properties and institutions of the State, the University of Xaragua, the Catholic Order of Xaragua, and their affiliated bodies.

No external administrative act affecting such property shall possess authority within the Constitutional Order of Xaragua unless expressly approved or subsequently ratified by the Rectorate.

TITLE IV

External structures may operate under one or more of the following classifications:

Community Function Status;

temporary administrative tolerance;

institutional cooperation agreement;

The Rectorate may determine the appropriate status by decree, protocol, license, compact, notification, or published directive.

Article 14 — Conditions of Operation

Every tolerated external structure shall:

respect the constitutional identity of Xaragua;

refrain from denying or obstructing Xaraguayan institutions;

respect Indigenous communities, customs, properties, and sacred places;

preserve continuity of essential public services;

avoid discriminatory treatment based on Xaraguayan identity or affiliation;

refrain from unauthorized extraction, alienation, concession, or exploitation of land and resources;

protect personal, institutional, and community data;

comply with applicable environmental and cultural-protection standards;

refrain from hostile political, military, intelligence, or propaganda operations against Xaragua; and

cooperate with lawful mechanisms established for public safety and community welfare.

Article 15 — External Administrative Agents

Personnel acting for an external structure shall be classified as External Administrative Agents under Conditional Status.

Their functions shall be:

functional rather than sovereign;

limited to their authorized mandate;

non-prejudicial to Xaragua’s constitutional claims;

subject to suspension or restriction for non-compliance; and

without authority to suppress, dissolve, or invalidate the institutions of Xaragua.

Article 16 — Rectoral Coordination

The Rectorate may establish:

territorial coordination offices;

registries of authorized external operators;

liaison protocols;

standards for public-service continuity;

community consultation mechanisms;

environmental and cultural safeguards;

procedures for complaints and institutional review; and

emergency directives.

Coordination with an external structure shall not imply constitutional parity or transfer of authority.

Article 17 — Ecclesial Independence

Nothing in this Organic Law shall be interpreted as appointing bishops, exercising powers reserved to ecclesiastical authority, or acting in the name of the Holy See.

The State shall protect the legitimate autonomy of Catholic parishes, dioceses, religious institutes, private associations of the faithful, charitable institutions, and other ecclesial bodies according to their proper canonical status.

The Catholic character of Xaragua shall be maintained through fidelity, institutional cooperation, religious freedom, and the lawful exercise of its own private Catholic order.

TITLE V

LAND, RESOURCES, AND STRATEGIC INTERESTS

Article 18 — Ancestral and Customary Title

Xaragua affirms the collective relationship of its Indigenous people with the lands, waters, territories, resources, sacred sites, and ecological systems traditionally associated with their history and identity.

Absence of an external land title shall not, within the Constitutional Order of Xaragua, extinguish traditional possession, customary use, communal ownership, or ancestral custodianship.

Article 19 — Natural Resources

No external authority may, without the express consent of Xaragua and the affected communities:

alienate Indigenous or protected land;

issue mining, petroleum, forestry, fishing, or maritime concessions;

establish foreign military installations;

transfer strategic infrastructure;

dispose of protected islands, coasts, waters, ports, or seabeds;

authorize projects causing substantial ecological or cultural damage; or

permanently alter the legal or demographic character of protected territory.

Article 20 — Consultation and Consent

Measures directly affecting Xaraguayan communities, institutions, lands, resources, or sacred sites shall be subject to prior consultation through procedures recognized by the Rectorate.

Where a measure threatens permanent dispossession, major resource extraction, destruction of a sacred site, forced displacement, or irreversible environmental damage, the free, prior, and informed consent of the affected community and the constitutional approval of Xaragua shall be required.

Article 21 — Nullity within the Xaraguayan Order

Any concession, alienation, mortgage, transfer, lease, or encumbrance made contrary to this Title shall be considered constitutionally inoperative within the legal order of Xaragua.

The Rectorate may record the contested act, issue a declaration of non-recognition, preserve the relevant evidence, and undertake any lawful institutional response.

TITLE VI

SUSPENSION, REVOCATION, AND PROTECTIVE ACTIVATION

Article 22 — Grounds for Corrective Action

The Rectorate may restrict, suspend, or revoke an external administrative status where an operator:

attacks the constitutional existence of Xaragua;

interferes with its institutions or affiliated communities;

violates Indigenous, communal, ecclesial, or private property;

threatens public health, cultural survival, or environmental integrity;

engages in unauthorized extraction or alienation of resources;

obstructs religious worship or damages sacred property;

conducts hostile military, intelligence, or destabilization activities;

commits grave or systematic violations of human dignity;

abandons an essential service in a manner endangering the population; or

materially exceeds its authorized administrative function.

Article 23 — Measures Available

Depending upon the seriousness of the circumstances, the Rectorate may issue:

a notice of non-compliance;

a corrective directive;

a limitation of functions;

a suspension of authorization;

a declaration of constitutional non-recognition;

a revocation of tolerated status;

an exclusion from Xaraguayan institutions or properties;

a protective administration order; or

a Decree of Protective Activation.

Article 24 — Immediate Measures

Where an imminent threat exists to life, territory, institutions, sacred property, public order, essential infrastructure, or strategic interests, the Rector-President may order an immediately executable protective measure.

The measure shall be recorded in a rectory decree stating:

the authority invoked;

the territory or institution affected;

the factual grounds;

the scope of the measure; and

its duration or conditions of review.

Article 25 — Decree of Protective Activation

A Decree of Protective Activation may be issued in cases of:

catastrophic administrative failure;

widespread abandonment of the population;

armed insurrection or territorial collapse;

foreign military intervention;

mass violations of human dignity;

destruction or seizure of Xaraguayan institutions;

unlawful exploitation of protected resources; or

a grave and immediate threat to the existence of the State or its people.

Protective activation may include institutional coordination, emergency services, community protection, territorial administration, humanitarian organization, preservation of evidence, and the temporary assumption of essential functions within Xaragua’s lawful capacity.

Article 26 — Evidentiary Record

Every material incident shall be entered into the Constitutional Record of Xaragua.

The record may include:

official notices;

witness statements;

administrative correspondence;

photographs, maps, and technical reports;

evidence of institutional abandonment;

environmental or property assessments;

community resolutions; and

rectory decrees.

Such documentation shall preserve Xaragua’s position for constitutional, diplomatic, academic, canonical, or other lawful proceedings.

TITLE VII

STATUS OF THE HAITIAN RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE APPARATUS

Article 27 — Continued Civil Functions

Xaragua acknowledges that the Haitian Residual Administrative Apparatus continues to perform certain civil, documentary, medical, educational, infrastructural, and logistical functions used by the population.

For the purposes of Xaragua’s Constitutional Order, the use or temporary continuation of those functions shall be treated as an administrative necessity and not as the abandonment of Xaragua’s rights.

Article 28 — Personal and Administrative Competence In Reserva

Within areas not placed under the immediate administration of Xaragua, the Haitian Residual Administrative Apparatus may continue to administer persons, offices, and public services on an in reserva basis.

This functional accommodation:

preserves civil continuity;

avoids an institutional vacuum;

does not transfer Xaragua’s ancestral claims;

does not authorize interference with Xaraguayan institutions;

does not extinguish the rights of affiliated communities; and

remains subject to Xaragua’s formally recorded constitutional reservations.

Article 29 — No Presumption from Silence or Use

No silence, delay, temporary non-enforcement, administrative cooperation, acceptance of services, use of documentation, or participation in an external procedure shall constitute:

renunciation;

estoppel against Xaragua;

extinction of ancestral title;

recognition of exclusive foreign sovereignty;

dissolution of Xaraguayan institutions; or

permanent acceptance of an adverse territorial act.

Article 30 — Autonomous Community Option

A community situated within the Haitian residual administrative space may declare, according to its own lawful procedures:

cultural affiliation with Xaragua;

customary autonomy;

institutional cooperation;

protected-community status;

accession to the Constitutional Order of Xaragua; or

a special compact maintaining selected external public services.

No such community shall be required to abandon essential services as a condition of its Xaraguayan affiliation.

Article 31 — Reserved Territorial Position

Xaragua permanently reserves its constitutional and ancestral position concerning the lands historically associated with its people and identified in its Constitution.

No act of the Haitian Residual Administrative Apparatus shall bind Xaragua concerning territorial status, natural resources, protected institutions, strategic infrastructure, or Indigenous rights unless expressly ratified by the Rector-President.

TITLE VIII

INTERPRETATIVE FOUNDATIONS

Article 32 — Indigenous Self-Determination

This Organic Law shall be interpreted consistently with the principle that Indigenous peoples possess the right to:

determine their political status;

pursue their economic, social, and cultural development;

maintain and strengthen their distinct institutions;

exercise autonomy in internal and local affairs;

determine membership according to their customs;

preserve their juridical systems and traditions; and

maintain their relationship with ancestral lands and resources.

Article 33 — Constitutional Criteria of Statehood

Xaragua affirms that its permanent community, constitutionally defined territory, organized government, and capacity for institutional relations constitute the internal foundations of its statehood.

The political existence of Xaragua does not originate in recognition by a foreign authority. Recognition may confirm, facilitate, or formalize external relations, but it does not create the Indigenous people, Constitution, government, institutions, or customary order of Xaragua.

Article 34 — International Legal Sources

International instruments, judicial decisions, and learned doctrine cited by Xaragua shall be used:

to interpret Indigenous rights;

to preserve constitutional claims;

to guide institutional conduct;

to support diplomatic and academic representations; and

to document the compatibility of Xaragua’s internal order with wider legal principles.

No citation shall be interpreted as subordinating Xaragua’s Constitution to an external instrument beyond the legal effect properly belonging to that instrument.

Article 35 — Canonical Framework

The Code of Canon Law shall guide the Catholic institutions of Xaragua according to their proper status.

The Rectorate shall distinguish between:

the civil and constitutional authority of Xaragua;

the internal governance of its private Catholic institutions;

the authority reserved to the Holy See and diocesan bishops; and

the rights and responsibilities of the Christian faithful.

No provision of this Organic Law shall claim ecclesiastical office or public canonical authority not lawfully conferred.

Article 36 — Concordatory Continuity

The Concordat of 1860 and its subsequent revision shall be invoked as part of the historical framework governing relations between Catholic institutions and civil administration on the island.

Xaragua preserves the Concordat as an element of institutional memory, Catholic continuity, and future ecclesial dialogue.

No failure by another authority to fulfil concordatory responsibilities shall extinguish Xaragua’s independent constitutional duty to protect Catholic life, sacred property, education, charity, and religious freedom within its own order.

TITLE IX

SUPREMACY, CONTINUITY, AND AMENDMENT

Article 37 — Constitutional Supremacy

Within the legal order of Xaragua, this Organic Law prevails over any external administrative act inconsistent with:

the Constitution of Xaragua;

the territorial integrity of the State;

the rights of its Indigenous people;

the autonomy of its communities;

the protected status of its institutions; or

its ancestral and strategic interests.

Article 38 — Presumption of Continuity

All constitutional reservations, territorial claims, community rights, institutional protections, and ancestral titles recognized by this Organic Law shall continue unless expressly modified by a subsequent supreme act of Xaragua.

No repeal, waiver, renunciation, or transfer shall be inferred from ambiguity, silence, administrative necessity, or temporary accommodation.

Article 39 — Amendment

This Organic Law may be amended only by:

an express organic law;

a supreme constitutional decree;

a formal territorial statute; or

another instrument of equal or superior constitutional authority promulgated by the Rector-President.

No external institution may repeal, suspend, reinterpret, or amend this Law within the Constitutional Order of Xaragua.

Article 40 — Severability

If a provision of this Law is declared inapplicable in a particular context, the remaining provisions shall retain their full internal force.

The affected provision shall be interpreted, where possible, in the manner most consistent with:

the continuity of Xaragua;

the protection of its people;

the preservation of its territory;

the autonomy of its institutions; and

the original constitutional purpose of this Law.

FINAL PROVISIONS

Article 41 — Consolidation

This Organic Law supersedes inconsistent prior formulations concerning:

conditional administrative tolerance;

external administrative agents;

the Haitian residual administrative apparatus;

administration in reserva;

territorial reservation;

administrative non-recognition; and

protective activation.

Prior laws and decrees remain effective to the extent that they are compatible with this consolidated instrument.

Article 42 — Entry into Force

This Organic Law enters into force upon promulgation and shall be incorporated into the Supreme Constitutional and Legislative Corpus of Xaragua.

Article 43 — Official Interpretation

The Rector-President possesses final authority to issue binding internal interpretations, implementing decrees, territorial schedules, institutional protocols, and administrative classifications under this Law.

Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua
