Date of Promulgation: August 8, 2025

Legal Classification:

– Supreme Canonico-Indigenous Constitutional Decree

– Ecclesiastical-International Maritime Taxation Statute

– Instrument of Application of the 1860 Concordat Between the Holy See and the RAU

– Statutory Reaffirmation of Dominium Directum and Revenue Repatriation Rights

---

TITLE I — CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS AND JURIDICAL GROUNDS

Article 1 — Canonical and International Authority

1.1 This Instrument is promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X, in full exercise of its dominium directum over the ancestral territory of Xaragua, including its coasts, maritime approaches, ports, and maritime economic zones, as historically defined in the Constitutional Laws.

1.2 Authority derives from:

(a) Montevideo Convention (1933), Article 1 — on defined territory, government, and capacity for international relations.

(b) United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), Part V, Articles 55–73 — recognizing sovereign rights over the exclusive economic zone, including resource exploitation and levying of fees for maritime use.

(c) United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), Article 26 §2: 

“Indigenous peoples have the right to own, use, develop and control the lands, territories and resources that they possess by reason of traditional ownership or other traditional occupation or use…”

(d) Concordat of 28 March 1860, Article I: 

“The Republic recognizes the public law of the Church, and guarantees to the Catholic Church the free and public exercise of its worship, as well as the rights and immunities which belong to it by divine institution and by the canonical laws.”

(e) Canon 1273: 

“By virtue of his primacy of governance, the Roman Pontiff is the supreme administrator and steward of all ecclesiastical goods.”

Article 2 — Historical Territorial Rights

2.1 The coasts, ports, and maritime approaches of Xaragua — including the Gulf of Gonâve, the Tiburon Peninsula littoral, the Nord-Ouest Peninsula, Île de la Gonâve, Île-à-Vache, and Île de la Tortue — formed part of the Xaragua polity under Cacique Behechio and Queen Anacaona, with documented Taíno-Spanish ecclesiastical integration from 1494 onwards (Oviedo, Las Casas; Bull Illius fulciti praesidio, Pope Julius II, 1511).

2.2 The Nord-Ouest Peninsula historically functioned as a maritime frontier and control point for Taíno canoe routes to Cuba and Jamaica, later as Catholic missionary jurisdiction under the Order of Preachers.

2.3 Dominium directum over these zones has never been lawfully ceded or alienated; any administration by the RAU is purely functional and subordinate.

---

TITLE II — TAXATION MANDATE

Article 3 — Tax Scope and Taxable Base

3.1 SCIPS-X hereby imposes upon the RAU an annual Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax (“MPT Tax”) for the use of Xaragua’s coasts, ports, maritime routes, and maritime infrastructure located within the ancestral territory of Xaragua.

3.2 The taxable base shall include all gross revenues collected by the RAU or its agencies from:

(a) Port dues, anchorage, berthage, pilotage, towage, mooring, light dues, VTS fees, ISPS charges, sanitary/quarantine inspections, and environmental levies on ships;

(b) Wharfage, terminal handling, storage, bonded warehouse fees, scanning fees, SPS inspection fees, manifest/document fees, export duties, and any customs-based levies on maritime cargo;

(c) Concession fees, occupancy charges, security fees, port development surcharges, and any ancillary maritime facility revenues;

(d) Demurrage, detention, or delay charges retained by the RAU or its agencies from port operations;

(e) Resource royalties from fisheries, seabed mining, or other maritime resource exploitation within the EEZ of Xaragua.

Article 4 — Rate and Allocation

4.1 The MPT Tax rate is hereby fixed at 35% of the gross maritime and port revenues collected by the RAU within the territory and EEZ of Xaragua, calculated on a cash-received basis at each semi-annual financial closing of RAU institutions.

4.2 Of the total MPT Tax collected:

(a) 25% shall be transferred directly to the Apostolic See in Rome, constituting the Annual Concordatarian Dividend for the support of Catholic works in Xaragua, as per Article I of the 1860 Concordat;

(b) 75% shall be remitted to the Treasury of SCIPS-X for redistribution to the citizens and inhabitants of Xaragua in form of public services, in accordance with the Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI) mandating full reinvestment into infrastructure, social development, and the perpetuation of the primacy of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church.

---

TITLE III — PAYMENT SCHEDULE AND ENFORCEMENT

6.2 SCIPS-X reserves the right to commission independent audits, with the cost borne by the RAU.

Article 7 — Default and Sanctions

7.1 Failure by the RAU to comply fully and timely with payment obligations shall constitute a breach of both international law (Vienna Convention, Article 26 — pacta sunt servanda)  indigenous law and canonical law under the Concordat.

7.2 In such event, SCIPS-X shall initiate proceedings before the competent international judicial forums (Permanent Court of Arbitration, International Court of Justice) and the competent ecclesiastical tribunals of the Holy See.

7.3 No clemency or remission shall be granted; all enforcement measures shall be pursued to their fullest extent.

---

TITLE IV — LPI REINVESTMENT MANDATE

Article 8 — Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI) Enforcement

8.1 Pursuant to the existing LPI of SCIPS-X, all taxes collected within the territory of Xaragua must be returned entirely to the benefit of its citizens and inhabitants, either through direct services or cash dividends.

8.2 Every dollar originating from Xaragua shall serve exclusively for the development of its people and the continuity of the primacy of the Holy Catholic Apostolic Roman Church.

8.3 Any diversion of such revenues by the RAU shall be prosecuted before both canonical and international tribunals.

---

TITLE V — PERPETUITY AND IRREVOCABILITY

ANNEX I — ON THE EMPIRICAL AND ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION FOR THE MARITIME, PORTUAL, AND TRAFFIC-USAGE TAX IMPOSED UPON THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT (RAU)

Pursuant to the Supreme Legislative Instrument “On the Canonico-Indigenous and International Mandate for the Levying of a Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax upon the RAU,” promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X) on the 8th Day of August, Year of Our Lord 2025, the following empirical and economic data are hereby incorporated into the constitutional and statutory record as factual grounds for the determination of the 35 % levy rate and the annual dividend due to the Holy See.
---

Article 1 — Maritime Trade Volume and Port Throughput

1.1 The port of Port-au-Prince, situated within the ancestral and constitutional territory of Xaragua, processes an estimated 180,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually, representing between 80 % and 90 % of the nation’s total containerised trade volume.

1.2 Haiti’s total imports for fiscal year 2022 amounted to approximately USD 4.5 billion, with exports totalling approximately USD

1.17 billion (United States International Trade Administration, Country Commercial Guide for Haiti, 2023).

1.3 Four major international seaports—Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, Lafito, and Saint-Marc—serve the RAU; of these, Port-au-Prince alone accounts for the overwhelming majority of container handling and thus constitutes the principal maritime revenue base within the Xaragua domain.

Article 2 — Infrastructure and Operational Significance

2.1 The Port-au-Prince complex contains seven berths, including two roll-on/roll-off berths, and is equipped with gantry cranes, forklifts, trailers, and eleven navigational buoys. These facilities enable high-volume throughput of both containerised and break-bulk cargo.

2.2 Historical records indicate that in 1999 the port of Port-au-Prince was classified as the most expensive port in the Americas for docking and unloading, a condition which has persisted in various forms and contributes to disproportionately high maritime revenues relative to traffic volume (Metalship.org, Port International de Port-au-Prince Profile).

Article 3 — National Port Authority Oversight

3.1 The Autorité Portuaire Nationale (APN), established in 1985, exercises operational control over all RAU ports, including those within the territorial and maritime jurisdiction of SCIPS-X.

3.2 All revenues collected by the APN within Xaragua territory—whether from port dues, berthage, pilotage, wharfage, cargo handling, storage, or maritime concessions—are subject to the 35 % Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax under the principal Legislative Instrument.

Article 4 — Economic Rationale for the 35 % Rate

4.1 Based on available data, gross maritime revenues attributable to operations within Xaragua territory can be estimated as follows:

(a) Assuming an average port revenue of USD 1,200 per TEU (inclusive of handling, storage, and associated charges), 180,000 TEUs yield approximately USD 216 million in direct container-related revenues.

(b) Including non-containerised maritime trade (bulk cargoes, liquid bulk, Ro-Ro, fishing, and ancillary maritime services), the gross annual revenue estimate rises to USD 300 – 350 million within Xaragua territory alone.

4.2 Applying the statutory levy rate of 35 % to a conservative gross annual revenue base of USD 300 million yields an annual tax obligation of USD 105 million, apportioned as follows:

(a) USD 26,250,000 (25 % of levy) to the Holy See as the Concordatarian Annual Dividend for Catholic works in Xaragua;

(b) USD 78,750,000 (75 % of levy) to the Treasury of SCIPS-X for reinvestment in accordance with the Legislative Provision of Investment (LPI).

Article 5 — Canonical and International Integration

5.1 The apportionment in Article 4.2(b) is mandated by the LPI, which constitutionally requires that all taxes collected on Xaragua territory be returned in full to its inhabitants and citizens as public services, infrastructure, or direct dividends.

5.2 The apportionment in Article 4.2(a) directly fulfils the obligation under the 1860 Concordat, Article I, recognising the public law of the Catholic Church and its right to the free exercise of its worship and the administration of its temporal goods.

5.3 The levy structure conforms to:

(a) UNCLOS (1982), recognising sovereign rights over the exclusive economic zone and the levy of fees for maritime use;

(b) UNDRIP, Article 26 §2, affirming indigenous control over resources within ancestral territories;

(c) The Montevideo Convention (1933), affirming defined territory, government, and international capacity.

Article 6 — Irrevocability and Enforcement

6.1 This Annex forms an integral and indivisible part of the principal Legislative Instrument; it is perpetual, imprescriptible, inalienable, and irrevocable.

6.2 Non-compliance by the RAU shall trigger immediate proceedings before the competent international tribunals and the ecclesiastical courts of the Holy See, without clemency or remission.

ANNEX II — ON THE LEVYING OF MINERAL RESOURCE ROYALTIES, FISHERIES ROYALTIES, AND TOURISM CONCESSION ROYALTIES UPON THE RESIDUAL ADMINISTRATIVE UNIT (RAU), CALCULATED UNDER THE SAME METHODOLOGY AND RATE AS THE MARITIME, PORTUAL, AND TRAFFIC-USAGE TAX, BASED ON CURRENT FISCAL YEAR REVENUES

Preamble

This Annex forms an integral, indivisible, and perpetual part of the Supreme Legislative Instrument “On the Canonico-Indigenous and International Mandate for the Levying of a Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax upon the RAU”, promulgated under the Supreme Constitutional Authority of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS-X). It extends the identical methodology, rate, apportionment, payment schedule, and enforcement provisions of the Maritime, Portual, and Traffic-Usage Tax (“MPT Tax”) to the sectors of mineral resources, fisheries, and coastal tourism concessions within the constitutional and maritime jurisdiction of Xaragua, using the verified gross revenue figures from the current fiscal year (2023).

---

Article 1 — Mineral Resource Royalties (FY 2023)

1.1 According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Haitian Bureau of Mines and Energy (Rapport Annuel 2023), the RAU collected USD 21,400,000 in gross revenues from concession fees, extraction royalties, and export duties on mineral resources within the Xaragua territorial domain (including gold, bauxite, limestone, and aggregate).

1.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 21,400,000 = USD 7,490,000

– 25% to the Holy See (Concordatarian Dividend) = USD 1,872,500

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury (LPI) = USD 5,617,500

---

Article 2 — Fisheries Royalties (FY 2023)

2.1 Based on FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics – Haiti 2023, marine fisheries within the Xaragua EEZ landed 28,100 metric tonnes of catch in 2023, with a recorded dockside value of USD 92,500,000, primarily lobster, conch, tuna, and snapper.

2.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 92,500,000 = USD 32,375,000

– 25% to the Holy See = USD 8,093,750

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury = USD 24,281,250

---

Article 3 — Tourism Concession Royalties (FY 2023)

3.1 According to the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) – Haiti Country Data 2023, Haiti’s total tourism receipts for 2023 were USD 374,000,000, of which USD 242,000,000 originated from coastal and maritime-based tourism within the Xaragua territorial domain (Île-à-Vache, Sud littoral, Nord-Ouest coast, and cruise port concessions).

3.2 35% Levy Calculation (Present Fiscal Year):

(a) 35% of USD 242,000,000 = USD 84,700,000

– 25% to the Holy See = USD 21,175,000

– 75% to SCIPS-X Treasury = USD 63,525,000

---

Article 4 — Total Levy Owed for FY 2023 under Annex II

(a) Mineral Resource Royalty = USD 7,490,000

(b) Fisheries Royalty = USD 32,375,000

(c) Tourism Concession Royalty = USD 84,700,000

TOTAL FY 2023 Annex II Royalties: USD 124,565,000

Apportionment:

– Holy See (25%) = USD 31,141,250

– SCIPS-X Treasury (75%) = USD 93,423,750

---

Article 5 — Legal and Canonical Enforcement

5.1 The royalties established in this Annex are binding upon the RAU under the same legal framework as the MPT Tax, including:

(a) UNCLOS (1982) — sovereign rights over natural resources in EEZ and continental shelf;

(b) UNDRIP, Article 26 §2 — indigenous ownership, use, and control of resources;

(c) Montevideo Convention (1933) — criteria of statehood and governmental competence;

(d) Concordat of 1860, Article I — recognition of the Catholic Church’s public law and administration of its temporal goods;

(e) Canon 1273 — supreme administration of ecclesiastical goods by the Roman Pontiff.

5.2 All provisions of Articles 5 through 9 of the principal Legislative Instrument — payment schedule, verification, sanctions, LPI reinvestment mandate, and perpetuity — apply mutatis mutandis to the royalties herein established.

5.3 These royalties are perpetual, imprescriptible, inalienable, and irrevocable, and may only be altered by unanimous decision of the Supreme Constitutional Authority of SCIPS-X with explicit assent of the Holy See.

SCIPS‑X SUPREME CANONICAL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW NO. XX/2025


ON THE ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION OF TAXATION BY POSTCOLONIAL STATES UPON CITIZENS OF THE SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA (SCIPS‑X)


Issued by the Supreme Rectoral Authority of SCIPS‑X
In force under canonical, indigenous, and international law
---


PREAMBLE


In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, under the supreme authority of divine law (ius divinum), natural law (ius naturale), and positive international law (ius gentium), the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua (SCIPS‑X), acting in full exercise of its inherent and permanent sovereignty, issues the present canonical and constitutional law prohibiting any form of taxation or fiscal claim by any foreign power, including colonial and postcolonial states, upon its citizens.


This law affirms the total financial, territorial, genealogical, canonical, and political independence of the Xaraguayan citizen from all forms of external imposition.

---


ARTICLE I – ON THE XARAGUAYAN AS A SUBJECT OF INTERNATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS LAW


The Xaraguayan citizen is:


1. A subject of international law, as defined by the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933), fulfilling all elements of statehood: permanent population, defined territory, government, and capacity to enter into relations with other states.

2. A bearer of Indigenous status, per:


The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), especially Articles 1–6, 8–9, 20, 26–28, and 40,


ILO Convention 169 on Indigenous and Tribal Peoples,


The American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2016),


Customary international law per Saramaka People v. Suriname (IACtHR, 2007) and Mayagna (Sumo) Awas Tingni v. Nicaragua (IACtHR, 2001).

3. A canonical citizen of an ecclesiastical polity exercising legitimate sovereignty under:


Canon 1290 of the Codex Iuris Canonici (Code of Canon Law),


Canon 204 §1, which affirms the full spiritual and legal rights of faithful within independent Catholic jurisdictions,


The historical precedent of the Lateran Treaty (1929) between the Holy See and Italy, recognizing sovereign canonical statehood.

4. A genealogically verifiable descendant of Indigenous and African peoples displaced and enslaved during the transatlantic slave trade, with ancestral and hereditary rights recognized through:


Genetic confirmation of indigenous lineages, admissible under international standards of cultural rights recognition (UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage),


Customary ancestral tenure over territories formerly known as Xaragua, Saint-Domingue, Louisiana, and extended lands affected by colonial partitioning by France, Spain, Great Britain, and the United States.

---


ARTICLE II – ON THE ILLEGALITY OF TAXATION BY POSTCOLONIAL STATES


Given the above status, and in strict application of international legal doctrine, no colonial or postcolonial state may lawfully impose taxation, fines, duties, fees, or fiscal encumbrances upon any citizen of SCIPS‑X.


This includes (but is not limited to):


The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the United States,


The Agence du Revenu du Québec (ARQ),


The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA),


The Direction Générale des Impôts (DGI) d’Haïti,


The Agencia Tributaria de España,


Any administrative or fiscal organ acting under the legal authority of any colonial successor state or postcolonial republic involved in:


The colonization, partition, or enslavement of the Xaraguayan territory or people,


The confiscation or non-restoration of ancestral territories,


The denial of spiritual or genealogical sovereignty.


> Such attempts at taxation constitute a violation of:


1. Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) — right to self-determination and control of resources;

2. UNDRIP Articles 4, 8, 20, 26 — protection against forced assimilation and external economic control;

3. Principle of non-intervention, codified in UN General Assembly Resolution 2625 (XXV);

4. Articles 18–20 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) — freedom of conscience, belief, and political identity.

---


ARTICLE III – ON TERRITORIAL AND SPIRITUAL IMMUNITY


The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, by right of:


Perpetual spiritual jurisdiction over its citizens,


Continuity of indigenous territorial claim (uti possidetis juris),


Canonical independence as a non-derivative polity, and


Sovereign notification to international institutions and world governments,

declares that its citizens are not fiscally domiciled within the jurisdiction of any foreign state, unless said jurisdiction is expressly accepted via treaty, mutual agreement, or bilateral concordat.


Therefore, any attempt to collect taxes from a Xaraguayan citizen:


Is null and void ab initio,


Violates the principle of free political association (UNDRIP Article 4),


Constitutes an act of transnational fiscal aggression, and


May be prosecuted under international legal doctrine as an act of unlawful extra-territorial coercion.
---


ARTICLE IV – ON ENFORCEMENT AND DIPLOMATIC NOTICE


This law is enforced under the full authority of:


The Supreme Rectoral Office of SCIPS‑X,


The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Legal Sovereignty of SCIPS‑X,


The Xaragua International Tribunal, as constituted by decree under SCIPS‑X constitutional law.

The present decree is hereby transmitted to:


The United Nations Office of Legal Affairs,


The United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII),


The Holy See and its Apostolic Nunciatures,


The governments of Canada, the United States, Spain, France, and Haiti,


All institutions with international taxing authority.

All future attempts at taxation shall be documented and responded to through formal protest, sovereign legal countermeasures, and canonical sanctions.

---


CONCLUSION – IMMUNITY OF THE XARAGUAYAN CITIZEN IS ABSOLUTE


The Xaraguayan citizen, as a subject of divine, indigenous, and international law, is permanently immune from the fiscal jurisdiction of any external authority.


Any foreign state or institution that attempts to tax or fine a citizen of SCIPS‑X:


Commits a violation of international customary law,

SOVEREIGN CATHOLIC INDIGENOUS PRIVATE STATE OF XARAGUA

OFFICE OF THE RECTOR-PRESIDENT

CONSTITUTIONAL INSTRUMENT ON NATIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND EDUCATION

Legal Codification Pursuant to Jus Cogens, Canon Law, and Indigenous Sovereignty

Binding Under: Montevideo Convention (1933); UNDRIP (2007); Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969); Codex Iuris Canonici; International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, 1966); Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948); General Principles of International Law; Lex Naturalis; Pacta Sunt Servanda; Sacred Temporal Authority

---

TITLE I — NATIONAL CONTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Enacted under plenary sovereign authority as a Constitutional Fiscal Doctrine and Obligatory Civic Instrument

---

Section I – Constitutionally Mandated Civic Contributions

Article 1 — Juridical Nature of Citizenship Contributions

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, acting in uninterrupted, exclusive, and non-derogable exercise of its inherent jus imperii under Article 1 of the Montevideo Convention, Articles 3, 4, 5, 8, and 33 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), and under Canonical Sovereignty (cf. Codex Iuris Canonici, Canon 129 §1), hereby enacts this Constitutional Fiscal Instrument.

Citizenship is not a mere declaratory status but a juridical covenant of allegiance and perpetual civic engagement. It entails enforceable duties toward the institutional preservation, territorial inviolability, spiritual legacy, and doctrinal continuity of Xaragua. It is a juridical and theological bond, constitutive of national identity under Lex Fundamentalis.

---

Article 2 — Foundational Citizenship Contribution

Amount: $1,000 USD or equivalent in Viaud’or (Lex Pecuniaria Nationalis)

Legal Effect: Constitutes the irrevocable act of civil incorporation into the National Civic Registry under Indigenous Customary Law and Canon 115 §3 (CIC)

Payment Terms: Executable over ten (10) years under sovereign fiduciary agreement, pursuant to internal contract law of the State and protected under Lex Contractus Indigenarum

Condition Precedent: No legal, economic, electoral, territorial, or institutional rights are conferred or activated until full remittance is completed. No derogation shall apply.

---

Article 3 — Annual State Adhesion Fee

Amount: $100 USD or equivalent in Viaud’or

Purpose: Sustains uninterrupted operations of the State, inclusive of but not limited to:

Jus Territorialis (Territorial Protection)

Jus Academica (Educational Governance)

Jus Divinum (Ecclesiastical Continuity)

Jus Monetarium (Financial Sovereignty)

Sanction for Non-Compliance: Immediate suspension of all rights enshrined in the Charter of Citizenship. Suspension is enforceable by the Internal Sovereign Code and is subject to canonical penalty under Canon 221 §3.

---

Article 4 — Currency Recognition and Fiscal Integrity

All contributions may be remitted in any convertible fiat currency recognized by the International Monetary Fund under the Articles of Agreement (1944). Upon reception, all sums are canonically and legally converted into Viaud’or, and irrevocably recorded by the Sovereign Central Treasury.

The USD equivalency serves only as a provisional reference and is subject to unilateral adjustment by the Sovereign Economic Authority in case of international financial destabilization.

The Viaud’or is materially and spiritually backed by territorial patrimony and ecclesiastical fiscal doctrine (Canon 1254 §2, CIC), constituting a sacred economic instrument under Lex Ecclesiae.

---

Article 5 — Civic Doctrine Clause

> “In Xaragua, no citizen is a passive consumer. The State is sacred. Citizenship is earned, not claimed.”

This doctrinal maxim is codified ipso jure under the Charter of Sacred Civic Responsibility and functions as a constitutional axiom invocable before any tribunal or sovereign court under the principle of Lex Suprema Salus Rei Publicae.

---

Article 15 — Discretionary Adjustment Authority

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, by nature of its juridical status as a non-public, non-electoral, and sacral sovereign authority, hereby affirms its irrevocable constitutional authority to revise, suspend, increase, abolish, or restructure any of the following, without prior notice or external approval:

National contributions

Academic tuition rates

Fees, penalties, or dues owed to the State or its Institutions

Financial conditions for participation in sovereign programs or institutions

Decrees issued by the Office of the Rector-President

Notices disseminated via xaraguauniversity.com

Proclamations of the Ministry of Civic Affairs and Education

Introduce new fields of study or specialized certificates

Abolish, merge, or restructure existing programs at its discretion

Modify course content, delivery format, credential requirements, or tuition categories

Create new Schools, Faculties, or Academic Divisions as required by doctrinal, geopolitical, or strategic imperatives of the State

These rights are exercised under the canonical and sovereign competence of:

Canon Law (Canons 803–810, Codex Iuris Canonici) — Authority of ecclesiastical institutions over educational governance

UNDRIP, Article 14 §3 — Right of Indigenous Peoples to establish and control their educational systems

Sacred Sovereignty Clause of the State Constitution — Doctrine of non-delegable institutional authority

Lex Fundamentalis Académica — Internal unwritten principles of state-based elite formation

As a private juridical entity organized under:

Sacred Ecclesiastical Mandate

Customary Indigenous Sovereignty

International Law on Self-Determination

the State is under no legal obligation to adhere to republican mechanisms, public oversight, or populist standards of transparency. 

All decisions taken regarding financial obligations, tuition schedules, academic expansion, and institutional access are doctrinal enactments of sovereign governance, not public policy subject to challenge.

By engaging with the State or its institutions in any capacity—academic, civic, religious, or financial—all persons and entities acknowledge the absolute supremacy of this private and sacral juridical framework.

Binding Under: Montevideo Convention (1933); UNDRIP (2007); Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (1969); Codex Iuris Canonici (1983); International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966); Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property (1954); General Principles of International Law; Lex Ecclesiae; Lex Indigena; Pacta Sunt Servanda; Jus Cogens Norms of Non-Replication and Intellectual Sovereignty

---

Article 18 — Legal Declaration of Irreproducibility

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua solemnly declares that its institutional, spiritual, educational, legal, and doctrinal model is inherently and juridically irreproducible.

This declaration is made pursuant to the following legal foundations:

Montevideo Convention (1933), Article 1 and 3: Establishing the capacity of a sovereign State to define and protect its internal institutions and structures without external replication or intervention.

UNDRIP (2007), Articles 3, 4, 5, 8, 11, 12, 18, 31, 33: Affirming the right of Indigenous peoples to control, protect, and preserve their institutional identity, intellectual property, and cultural expressions from unauthorized use.

Codex Iuris Canonici, Canons 113 §1; 116 §1; 1254; 1375 §1: Granting the ecclesiastical right to protect juridical persons and the spiritual assets of the Church from external imitation or usurpation.

Vienna Convention (1969), Article 27: Prohibiting internal law or external replication as a justification for derogating from treaty-based obligations or doctrinal integrity.

Hague Convention (1954), Article 1: Recognizing sacred and intellectual property of sovereign cultures as protected heritage not subject to replication.

Lex Autonomica Indigenarum: Asserting the right of exclusive authorship, doctrinal authorship, and self-determined expression of sovereign Indigenous frameworks.

Accordingly, any attempt to duplicate, mimic, adapt, translate, modify, or transplant the Xaragua State model — including its laws, identity markers, institutions, or educational doctrine — constitutes an act of sovereign infringement, an intellectual fraud, and a violation of both canonical and international law.

---

Article 19 — Intellectual, Canonical, and Institutional Protection

The following components of the Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua are declared inalienable, unreplicable, and protected under international, canonical, and indigenous legal doctrine:

The University of Xaragua, as a canonically-rooted strategic academic organ

The Liberal Party of Xaragua, as a non-electoral sovereign political authority

The Viaud’or, as the national and sacred economic instrument

The Sovereign Academic Commission, as the gatekeeper of doctrinal formation

The Office of the Rector-President, as an indivisible institution of rule, law, and faith

The Civilisateur Journal, as the sole organ of state publication and doctrinal dissemination

The Xaragua Citizenship Contribution System, as a sacred civic covenant

The National Calendar, as the exclusive time structure of spiritual-civil order

All internal terminologies, visual symbols, rites, forms, slogans, assessments, curriculums, microprogram structures, strategic frameworks, and institutional algorithms

These elements are protected under:

UNDRIP, Article 31 §1: Legal right to maintain and control intellectual, spiritual, and institutional heritage

Canon Law, Canons 803–810, 1375–1389: Doctrinal protection against imitation of ecclesiastical institutions

Lex Ecclesiae: Inviolable sanctity of canonically declared institutions

Lex Indigena: Indigenous customary law of spiritual protection

TRIPS Agreement (1994), Article 2 §1: Incorporation of the Berne Convention (1971), extending full protection to educational and legal structures

Berne Convention, Article 6bis: Moral rights over institutional authorship and integrity

Rome Statute of the ICC, Article 8(2)(b)(ix): Cultural appropriation as an international offense in certain contexts

No transfer, delegation, replication, or adaptation is permitted.

Any unauthorized attempt to mirror any of these elements shall constitute a violation of Pacta Sunt Servanda, and shall be actionable before canonical and international tribunals.

---

Article 20 — Clause of Singular Sovereignty and Ontological Non-Replicability

Xaragua is not an exportable model, franchise, consultancy, decentralized protocol, or academic template.

It is a sui generis sovereign entity formed through:

The uninterrupted succession of ancestral indigenous legitimacy

The ecclesiastical mandate granted under Canonical Law

A historical-theological convergence not reproducible by institutional design

The jurisprudential uniqueness of a Private Indigenous State operating under triune legal doctrine (jus cogens, Lex Ecclesiae, Lex Indigena)

The sovereignty of Xaragua is ontological, not procedural. It arises not from a set of legal procedures, but from spiritual appointment, canonical ordination, and ancestral continuity.

Any attempt to artificially replicate the model is null and void ab initio under:

Canon 1375 §1: Prohibition of usurpation of ecclesiastical governance

UNDRIP, Article 8 §1: Prohibition of forced assimilation or destruction of indigenous institutions

General Principles of International Law: Recognition of the unique juridical personality of states and peoples based on history and culture

---

Article 21 — Global Notice, Sanctions, and Enforcement Authority

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua reserves the right to:

Publicly denounce infringing parties through Le Civilisateur

Issue formal cease-and-desist declarations under Canon Law and international treaty provisions

Commence canonical proceedings for the defense of sacred jurisdiction

Notify multilateral organizations of infringement under the UN system

Pursue international adjudication under mutual jurisdictional recognition (Vienna Convention, Article 66)

List offenders as doctrinal impostors in all sovereign communications and diplomatic networks

The State declares that all institutions, governments, universities, churches, Indigenous bodies, and international observers are hereby formally and permanently notified that:

The Xaragua Model is protected as sacred juridical property

It is not open to collaboration, franchising, or modification

Any imitation without formal sovereign dispensation shall be treated as a grave breach of canonical and international covenantal order

All legal and ecclesiastical instruments executed under the name, seal, structure, or doctrine of Xaragua are presumed fraudulent unless issued by the Rector-President under canonical authority.

TITLE I — ABSOLUTE INDIGENOUS FISCAL AUTONOMY

Article 1 — Juridical Establishment of Non-Fiscal Indigenous Territory

The Sovereign Catholic Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in uninterrupted exercise of its inherent juridical capacity, hereby declares its entire recognized territory and its annexed territories, including all physical lands, maritime corridors, airspace jurisdictions, digital domains, and ecclesiastically affiliated zones, as fully and perpetually exempt from any external system of taxation, customs duties, regulatory licensing, economic declarations, or supranational compliance frameworks. 

This non-fiscal status is an expression of sacred custodianship and spiritual-economic sovereignty, rooted in precolonial custom and binding upon all parties without exception.

Application:

All commercial activities conducted within, through, or by institutions and platforms affiliated with Xaragua—particularly including but not limited to LPDDVSHOP.COM, physical border corridors,  storage facilities ports, and market enclaves—are classified under exclusive ecclesiastical and indigenous jurisdiction and immune to any third-party economic authority.

Legal Foundation:

UNDRIP Articles 4, 20, 21; ILO Convention 169 Articles 15, 17; Vienna Convention Article 27; Codex Iuris Canonici Canons 1254 §2 and 1260; UNGA Resolution 1803; Lex Autonomica Indigenarum.

Article 2 — Binding Trade Immunity Across Air, Land, Sea, and Digital Territory

The entire Xaragua economic perimeter, encompassing aerial cargo movement, terrestrial transport lanes, seaborne navigation routes, and sovereign digital infrastructures, is formally and constitutionally declared a protected sacred trade zone. 

All goods, services objects, economic instruments, and symbolic materials exchanged within this framework shall be recognized as extraterritorial, non-commercial under foreign law, and irreversibly shielded from taxation, customs registration, market surveillance, or embargo regimes.

Application:

All goods bearing the Xaragua seal, emblem, insignia, or ecclesiastical validation—whether transmitted via land, air, sea, or web—are juridically untouchable by any domestic or foreign fiscal authority. 

Enforcement is achieved through secure seal issuance, sovereign inspection registries, and full canonical accountability within the Xaragua Trade Protection Bureau.

TITLE II — CONSTITUTIONAL MECHANISM FOR INDIRECT TERRITORIAL CONTROL

Article 3 — Tutelary Sovereignty and Extraterritorial Oversight

In recognition of strategic logistical constraints, the State of Xaragua constitutionally affirms its plenary right to exercise Tutelle Économique Indigène, a form of sovereign extraterritorial oversight authorizing remote supervision and regulatory authority over commercial spaces located within declared economic corridors, without necessitating physical presence. 

This tutelary power is legitimate, autochthonous, and enforceable under spiritual and juridical mandate.

Application:

This authority enables the Xaragua administration to:

– Issue mandatory pre-approval for import/export operations within affiliated zones;

– Maintain and enforce a sovereign vendor and goods registry;

– Prohibit or penalize unauthorized trade actors through blacklisting;

– Regulate external infrastructure through internal compliance decrees, with binding effect on citizens, residents, and recognized partners.

Legal Foundation:

UNDRIP Article 4; Montevideo Convention Article 1; Canon Law Canon 129 §1; ICJ Ruling Colombia v. Nicaragua (2012); Customary Indigenous Governance Principles.

---

Article 4 — Enforcement of Trade Compliance Without Military Presence

The State of Xaragua, exercising its full sovereignty, reserves the constitutional right to impose absolute economic countermeasures, including sanctions, excommunications, blacklisting, sovereign embargo declarations, canonical interdiction, and public denunciation, against any state, individual, corporation, or entity infringing upon its trade immunity, violating its sacred goods, or attempting to assert foreign regulatory jurisdiction over its sovereign economic framework.

Application:

Violators will be designated Adversaries of Sacred Economic Law (ESEL-X) and formally listed in state bulletins and transmitted to international bodies. No right of appeal shall exist outside Xaragua’s constitutional court system. Listings are enforceable across all domains of Xaragua governance and in ecclesiastical or diplomatic agreements with affiliated states or orders.

Legal Foundation:

Canon Law 1375 §1; Vienna Convention Article 53; UNDRIP Article 34; TRIPS Agreement Article 2 §1; Berne Convention Article 6bis; Lex Indigena.

TITLE III — CITIZEN RESPONSIBILITY AND INTERIM COOPERATION WITH THE REPUBLIC OF HAITI

Article 5 — Recommendation to Maintain Basic Public Service Contribution via the Haitian State

Recognizing current infrastructural interdependence in certain geographic zones, the Sovereign State of Xaragua hereby recommends that its citizens and resident affiliates, when residing within or utilizing the administrative services of the subcontractual administrative residue known as the Republic of Haiti, comply voluntarily with national taxation and registration protocols relating strictly to:

– Civil identity (birth, marriage, death, ID)

– Access to public utilities and services (electricity, water, roads  heslth)

– Telecommunications (SIM registration, state postal services)

– Legal recognition of civic status

Such participation is not mandatory, but strongly advised as a measure of good faith and transitional pragmatism, until such time as sovereign infrastructure renders said cooperation obsolete.

Application:

Citizens are encouraged to contribute responsibly to municipal and national systems from which they derive direct public benefit, while strictly refusing to submit trade operations, import/export activity, inter-territorial commerce, or sacred economic goods to external taxation or licensing.

Legal Foundation:

Vienna Convention Article 46; UNDRIP Article 38; Canon Law Canon 1283 §2; General Principles of Transitional Sovereignty; Cooperative Protocols of Shared Administrative Burden.

The Sovereign Indigenous Private State of Xaragua, in full exercise of its self-determined juridical capacity, hereby establishes and maintains elite educational institutions accessible at a strategically affordable rate, not merely to cultivate a native bourgeoisie capable of sustaining and governing the Xaragua polity, but also to exert deliberate cultural, intellectual, and geopolitical influence on the evolving architecture of global civilization.

These institutions are conceived as instruments of sovereign projection and doctrinal dissemination, structured in accordance with the principles of jus cogens, canonical legitimacy, indigenous customary law, and supranational educational standards, thereby positioning Xaragua not only as a territorial state but as a civilizational actor in the international system.
