Official Title: La Ruche
Institutional Designation: Official Journal of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua
Official Classification: State Publication Charter — Official Gazette Act — Ancestral Institutional Continuity Instrument — Permanent Public Record Framework
Foundational Historical Period: 1945–1946

PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua hereby restores and permanently establishes La Ruche as its official journal of state publication.
Originally founded during the political and intellectual mobilization of 1945–1946, La Ruche served as an organ of the engaged youth whose publications contributed to the movement culminating in the January 1946 political transition known as the Cinq Glorieuses.
Its historical function exceeded ordinary journalism. La Ruche operated as an organized instrument of political communication, intellectual formation, public criticism and generational intervention.
The State of Xaragua formally recognizes the participation of Lucien Despuzeau Daumec, ancestral forebear of the Rectorate, in the editorial work associated with the historical journal.
This participation establishes a documented line of ancestral involvement connecting the Despuzeau Daumec lineage to the intellectual and political history of La Ruche.
The restoration of the journal does not constitute the creation of an unrelated publication bearing a reused name. It constitutes an institutional resumption of the historical title, its public function and its editorial inheritance under the constitutional authority of Xaragua.
The restored La Ruche shall no longer operate as a temporary publication dependent upon a revolutionary conjuncture. It shall exercise a permanent state function as the official medium through which laws, decrees, appointments, regulations, institutional decisions, public notices and other instruments are authenticated by publication and entered into the public record.

Its revolutionary foundation, ancestral editorial lineage and permanent state function are hereby consolidated within one institutional title.
From the historical journal, Xaragua retains the name, the intellectual inheritance and the principle that publication constitutes an act of political authority.

All constitutional acts, laws, decrees, regulations, appointments, public notices and other authorized instruments intended for official publication shall be transmitted to La Ruche according to the procedures established by the General Secretariat of the State.
The General Archives of the State shall preserve every authenticated issue as part of the permanent documentary order of Xaragua.

PREAMBLE
The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua hereby restores and permanently establishes Le Civilisateur as its official state journal of political doctrine, institutional analysis, academic publication and territorial thought.
The historical Civilisateur emerged during the nineteenth-century formation of the first organized Liberal current associated with Jean-Pierre Boyer-Bazelais, Edmond Paul and the doctrine expressed by the formula:
Le pouvoir aux plus capables.
Its historical function was political and intellectual. It provided a medium through which questions of government, constitutional organization, administrative competence, economic policy and public authority could be examined outside the immediate control of the governing administration.
The restoration of Le Civilisateur by Xaragua constitutes an institutional continuation of this intellectual function.
The restored journal shall not operate as an external electoral newspaper, a temporary campaign platform or a personal publication. It shall serve as a permanent organ through which the State, the University of Xaragua and the Liberal Party of Indigenous Ayiti publish doctrine, research, institutional analysis and political formation materials.
Le Civilisateur shall remain institutionally distinct from La Ruche.
La Ruche constitutes the official journal of state publication and public record. It publishes constitutional acts, laws, decrees, regulations, appointments and official notices.
Le Civilisateur constitutes the state journal of doctrine and analysis. It explains institutions, develops political thought, publishes academic work, examines public policy and contributes to the formation of cadres.
The two publications form separate components of one state communication system:
a. La Ruche records what the State has formally adopted;
b. Le Civilisateur develops, analyzes and communicates the doctrine through which the State understands and organizes its action.

e. external academic approval;
f. continuation of a particular political campaign.
Article 3 — Institutional Character
