Declaration of the Glorious Anthean Republic The MicroWiki community is, despite its identity in the very nature of articles such as these, a nation without a country. The MicroWiki community has long been defined by independence, by a glorious kaleidoscope of nations built on friendship and creativity; emerging from these many nations is one nation, the community itself. Or, as we have been bold to call it, Anthea, the nation-state of the MicroWiki community. It is an established principle of international law that a nation has the right to a sovereign state. The United Nations declared in 1960 that “All peoples have the right to self-determination; by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status”. This principle of international law proceeds from the universal moral truth that a government only has legitimate authority over a people when those people consent to that government — as St Augustine said, “sovereignty without justice is but organised robbery”, and there is no justice in subjecting one nation to a government that is anchored in another. The MicroWiki community has already rejected the sovereignty and government of the sovereign states that constitute the general international community. Furthermore, it has a common culture, a common heritage and a common destiny. Now it is time for Microwiki to recognise this and forge ahead, in singularity in unison, towards a state that finally unites us all. Thus — mindful of the rights of a nation under international law, and of the common culture, heritage and destiny of the MicroWiki community — we declare that ANTHEA shall be the nation-state of that MicroWiki community; establish the MOST SERENE AND GLORIOUS ANTHEAN REPUBLIC OF THE MICROWIKI COMMUNITY, which may be referred to also as merely the GLORIOUS ANTHEAN REPUBLIC; and we declare that Anthea shall be subject to the governance and sovereignty of the Glorious Anthean Republic. The Most Serene and Glorious Anthean Republic of the MicroWiki Community shall be governed in accordance with the First Provisions of the Underlaw of the Glorious Anthean Republic, and by this declaration we adopt those First Provisions to be the initial Constitution of our new Republic. We declare the Glorious Anthean Republic independent from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in respect of Kingley Vale, which shall be the central, metropolitan territory of the republic. Other territories: [We also declare the Glorious Anthean Republic independent…] The MicroWiki community is no longer a nation without a country; the Glorious Anthean Republic is a sovereign republic based on the common culture, heritage and destiny of the MicroWiki community, with the individual members of that community as its citizens, the references and memes of that community as the foundation of its culture, and the debates and discussions on that community’s destiny as the foundation of its politics. With its pioneering spirit in our hearts, and its independent streak in our veins It is our sincere wish that Anthea and the MicroWiki community shall come to be regarded as coordinate terms that refer to two intertwined aspects of one unified and integrated national community. On the 5th of February 2021, the nation shall elect a Convention Parliament and or National Council, which shall confirm the arrangements for the good government of the Republic. There then shall be a period to establish the non-governmental life of the Republic, campaign for the general election, and choose the Anthean National Flag. On the 5th of March, there will be a general election, electing a new Parliament, by which the first National Council and the first High Court shall be chosen. Microwiki is well acquainted with the silence by the international community on such projects, so while we deserve their recognition, we do not expect it. We aim, however, to shine an illuminating light on our own sphere, and show the merits of our collective philosophy to the world We do this in peace, and in hope that with this declaration we will give representation to a people built on such principles, yet a people without its own.
