The Private Indigenous State of Xaragua is a self-constituted, land-based, and divinely anchored Nation-State established under the natural, indigenous, and canonical right of peoples to self-govern, as protected by international law. It exercises the jus contrahendi (the capacity to enter into treaties and international agreements) recognized under Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention and Article 3 of the Vienna Convention.
All partnerships initiated by Xaragua are governed as non-colonial bilateral compacts, founded upon mutual recognition, territorial and spiritual integrity, and a commitment to shared development.
Its University, the University of Xaragua, functions as the State's official academic and diplomatic instrument, and all international academic relations operate under the sovereignty of the State and the canonical guidance of the National Catholic Order.
