As some of you may know, many years ago... the country of Daventree was founded. However, it was never taken all that serious.
On this the 13th day of the month of February in the year 2006 , I declare the micronation of Daventree to be founded.
Daventree's Declaration of Independence
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE,
BY RYAN CARL MERCER FOR THE PEOPLE OF DAVENTREE,
ON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2006
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all persons are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among humans, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness
The nation of Daventree will be open for immigration and ingathering of those individuals that wish to seek out a life under the laws and protection of Daventree. Daventree will be a nation of freedom and justice, one of equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants regardless of religion, race, or sex; Daventree will guarantee freedom of religion, conscience, language, education, and culture.
The subjection of peoples to alien subjugation, domination and exploitation constitutes a denial of fundamental human rights, and will not occur in Daventree. All persons have the right to self-determination, by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. Inadequacy of political, economic, social or educational preparedness should never serve as a pretext for delaying independence.
