Legal Status of the Sovereign Private State of Xaragua

The Sovereign Private State of Xaragua is a fully independent, Afro-Taíno sovereign entity, founded upon international law, indigenous law, ancestral legitimacy, and the lawful right to self-govern.

While its website and infrastructure are optionally registered in Canada for technical convenience, Xaragua is not a Canadian organization and does not fall under the jurisdiction of any external government in its sovereign operations.

All contracts, transactions, and internal governance of the Private State of Xaragua are executed through smart contracts, bound by our own legal system, and aligned with the principles of international law, including:

The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP)

Customary international law regarding indigenous sovereignty

Legal doctrines regarding microstates, religious orders, and diplomatic rights

---

Our Legal and Economic Principles

Xaragua recognizes and respects all international legal obligations, including in matters of taxation, finance, and commerce, when applicable.

We honor all agreements, pay all our partners, and fulfill our commitments on time and in good faith.

We expect the same level of respect and diligence from those who engage with our institutions.

Our contracts are valid.

Our sovereignty is recognized in law.

Our word is binding.

Xaragua does not evade responsibility — it redefines accountability under a sovereign framework.
