The Declaration of Independence, Sovereignty and Freedom is one of the founding documents that declares the existence of the Arstotzkan Union. It was originally written and approved of in June 2020 but a revision was created by the Federal Assembly and Executive Committees to bring it up to international standards.
History
When the Arstotzkan Union was founded on 22 August 2019 and the declaration of independence was more oral then written. The first Constitution was regarded as the Declaration of Independence. This was until the end of the Arstotzkan Wars when the National Assembly of the National Government of the Arstotzkan Union commissioned for an official Declaration of Independence.
On 30 June 2020 the Declaration of Independence, Sovereignty and Freedom of the Independent Democratic Republic of the Arstotzkan Union was signed by Ethan Brinkman, Tyler Brazier, Peter Gedye and Joshua Smith. For nearly two years the Declaration signed on 30 June 2020 became the de-facto and in use declaration until 2022 when it was being archived that it was realized that the Declaration of Independence did not fit the growing standards of the Arstotzkan Union legal system and so it was rewritten to be more inline with the new standards.
On 11 April 2022 the revision was passed by the Federal Assembly and Executive Committee and became the new Declaration of Independence.

The original Declaration stated:
We, the populace of The Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union, see ourselves as free from the State of New Zealand. All lands and or territories are independent of New Zealand. All control of these territories will be handled by the Arstotzkan Federal Government. Policing and other judicial laws shall be carried out by the people.
The New Zealand Government, Police, Defence Forces, shall under no circumstance, control the nation so long as this document is in act.
The people will be governed and have rights set forth in the Constitution of the Arstotzkan Union. No person shall be persecuted so long as this document and any other legislation is in power in the bounds of the Arstotzkan Union.
The main points that we the people have in the document is:
A: New Zealand is to relinquish all sovereignty over our nation, including bases, territories and other considered parts of the nation which may not be attached to the main nation.
B: The New Zealand Government or any other government institution shall have no authority to command, attack or use any land considered sole territory and is under the sovereignty of the The Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union.
Henceforth any person who is from New Zealand and or working with NZ Government institutions to remove the power of our nation, they are to be tried under any legislation our nation has.
The current Revision states:
We the representatives of the people of the state of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union in congress in the state of the Unified State of the Arstotzkan Union Proper, on the date of the 11th of the month of April in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-two, hereby declare in good morals and faith the independence and freedom of the sovereign state of the Independent Federal Republic of the Arstotzkan Union, and her people, territories and possessions.
In good faith and by the principles of international law do proclaim our sovereignty over all claims, captured and owned territories and bodies of land seen as a territory or sovereign land of our nation be seen by all nations as belonging to our state.
We as the representatives of our people invite all peoples of the world to respect and acknowledge the sovereignty and independence of our state and that they are to see the people of our nation as Arstotzkan’s, whether born, or brought upon our soil, or however, but they are to be seen as members of our state and that they should be protected as if any other individual of any other nation whether micro or macro.
We open an invitation to the leaders of nations of the United Nations and any micronations to recognise the sovereignty and independence of our nation and not to be seen as less.
This document also seeks to embody the powers of our government and state in the action of bettering the quality and living of all peoples in our nation, under the systems seen as Arstotzkanist and that resembling a Federal Presidential Constitutional Republic, and that the power of the sovereign is to be exercised by the Office of the Presidency which shall act in accordance with the rules and principles of democracy and the articles of our Constitution. The nations of the world are asked to see this as true.
We also seek to embody the message that our nation is to be recognised as a free collection of independent peoples in equality and under the principles of Democratic Arstotzkanism. Our nation must not be seen as attached to a part of the state of New Zealand and her Realm. The Sovereign of New Zealand, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and her representative in New Zealand are not to be seen as the heads or sovereigns of our free republic and all of our sovereign control will be laid in place by the power of our representatives in the executive body of our Federal Government.
We also proclaim that all peoples of our nation are to be free and shall never be subject to any outside control or restriction of their unalienable rights endowed by their Creator, our Lord in the Kingdom of Heaven.
