PREAMBLE

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua, acting through its Supreme Constitutional Authority and under the direct authority of the Rector-President, hereby consolidates the constitutional rules governing its juridical personality, Indigenous-customary self-organization, Catholic institutional orientation, territorial custodianship, external representation, fiscal position, customs doctrine, ownership and administration of assets, digital jurisdiction, institutional security, and relations with external public and private authorities.

Xaragua constitutes, within its own constitutional order, a sui generis Indigenous-customary, Catholic, private, territorial, academic, financial, and juridical polity possessing permanent institutions, an autonomous constitutional system, internal citizenship and membership structures, public and private assets, administrative organs, financial institutions, educational bodies, archives, territorial administrations, ecclesiastical structures, digital systems, and mechanisms of external representation.

The juridical order of Xaragua is founded upon Indigenous historical continuity, ancestral territorial affiliation, customary law, institutional self-organization, private and familial property, Catholic constitutional orientation, academic sovereignty, contractual capacity, administrative continuity, and the permanent authority of its constitutionally established organs.

The present Instrument does not derive its internal validity from unilateral approval by an external government, regulatory agency, corporation, professional order, religious association, or administrative body. Its internal force proceeds from the Constitution of Xaragua and the competent authority through which the Xaraguayan institutional order is constituted and administered.

External legal effects shall be asserted and documented according to the status of the parties, the nature of the property or transaction, the jurisdiction concerned, applicable agreements, registrations, contractual instruments, notifications, recognized immunities, and the relevant rules of domestic or international law.

This Instrument establishes the authoritative internal position of Xaragua and the mandatory procedures by which that position shall be represented, defended, documented, negotiated, and applied.

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua hereby consolidates the constitutional, monetary, banking, fiscal, commercial, contractual, investment, registration, supervisory, and external-operational rules governing its internal economic order.

The economic order of Xaragua is founded upon Indigenous institutional autonomy, internal financial administration, territorial productivity, private initiative, customary solidarity, Catholic social orientation, contractual discipline, financial traceability, protection of essential assets, controlled external engagement, and progressive development of autonomous monetary and credit mechanisms.

The present Code establishes the legal status and administrative functions of Viaud’or; defines the respective competences of the Office of the Rector-President, XaraBank, the Treasury, the Indigenous Credit Bureau, the Indigenous Fund, and the economic-registration authorities; regulates the creation of enterprises; classifies authorized investment instruments; establishes the National Ledger of Financial and Commercial Instruments; and determines the conditions under which Xaraguayan persons and institutions may participate in external financial systems.

PREAMBLE

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous and Private State of Xaragua hereby consolidates the constitutional rules governing its institutional relationship with the public administrative apparatus operating under the designation “Republic of Haiti,” internally classified as the Residual Administrative Unit; the continuity of essential civil and technical services; the regulated presence of external public, private, religious, humanitarian, educational, financial, and technical institutions; the choice and application of Xaraguayan contractual law; the audit of institutional funds and agreements; and the protection of the internal juridical order.

The constitutional doctrine of Xaragua distinguishes between two functionally separate orders operating within a common insular and territorial environment:

a. the Indigenous-customary, Catholic, private, constitutional, academic, financial, and institutional order of Xaragua; and

b. the ordinary civil and public-administrative apparatus operated through the Residual Administrative Unit.

Dual statism does not require institutional merger, disappearance of ordinary public administration, compulsory transfer of public personnel, automatic invalidation of civil documentation, or interruption of services used by the population.

The Residual Administrative Unit retains practical responsibility for civil registration, municipal services, public utilities, ordinary public health, public education, policing, civil adjudication, transportation administration, customs operations, public infrastructure, and other services functioning through its administrative system.

Xaragua retains its own Constitution, internal citizenship, institutional appointments, Indigenous-customary jurisdiction, academic and doctrinal governance, financial institutions, ecclesiastical organization, archives, juridical persons, contractual systems, territorial custodianship, civil-protection structures, and strategic administration.

The use, receipt, coordination, financing, or technical support of a Residual Administrative Unit service shall not constitute constitutional subordination, institutional dissolution, or renunciation of Xaragua’s internal identity.

The purpose of this Instrument is to replace the former doctrines of total substitution, tutelary absorption, juridical extinction, unrestricted confiscation, and absolute contractual closure with a unified regime of institutional separation, functional coordination, documented jurisdiction, administrative continuity, financial accountability, and controlled external engagement.

TITLE I — FUNDAMENTAL DEFINITIONS

Article 1 — Xaraguayan Constitutional Order

The Xaraguayan constitutional order comprises the institutions, persons, authorities, assets, records, territorial communities, customary structures, contracts, and internal legal relations constituted or recognized under the Constitution and laws of Xaragua.

Article 2 — Residual Administrative Unit

For purposes of the internal constitutional terminology of Xaragua, the public administrative apparatus operating under the designation “Republic of Haiti” is classified as the Residual Administrative Unit, hereinafter “RAU.”

This classification determines the functional position of that apparatus within Xaraguayan doctrine. It does not purport, by itself, to abolish its external governmental relations, civil documentation, international representation, or public services.

Article 3 — Residual Administrative Body

A Residual Administrative Body is a ministry, municipality, public office, school, hospital, clinic, police service, court, civil-registration service, utility, technical agency, public enterprise, emergency body, or other component operating through the RAU system.

b. a licence;

c. a memorandum;

d. a registration;

e. an administrative authorization;

f. an emergency protocol;

g. a property agreement;

h. another documented instrument accepted by competent Xaraguayan authority.

Article 6 — Tolerated Operational Presence

A Tolerated Operational Presence is an activity known to Xaraguayan authorities that continues without formal incorporation into the Xaraguayan order and without conferral of governmental competence, political membership, or permanent status.

Article 13 — Access to Services

Citizens, members, institutions, customary inhabitants, and territorial communities associated with Xaragua may use RAU health, education, municipal, judicial, policing, registration, transportation, and social services.

Use of such services shall not constitute abandonment of Xaraguayan status.
