The Declaration of independence of the Principality of Sancratosia (Lingua Franca Nova: Declara de la nondepende de la Prinsia de Sancratosia) is the foundational document that officially proclaimed the sovereignty of the Principality of Sancratosia, detailing the reasons for independence and outlining the principles of its government.

Background

The decision to embark on the establishment of a sovereign nation was made on {{start date|2021|10|21|df=y}, initially prioritizing the drafting of a constitution over the declaration of independence. This focus delayed the formal declaration process as substantial efforts were directed towards constitutional research.

Draft

The document was conceptualized and drafted over a brief period, approximately two days. Minimal revisions were made from the initial drafts to the final declaration, with significant additions including a denunciation of legislative actions by representatives in the Assemblée nationale du Québec. This denunciation was specifically prompted by the introduction of Projet de loi no 2, Loi portant sur la réforme du droit de la famille en matière de filiation et modifiant le Code civil en matière de droits de la personnalité et d'état civil (English: Bill 2, An Act to reform family law with respect to filiation and to amend the Civil Code with respect to personality rights and civil status), which initially posed challenges to the rights of transgender individuals in Quebec. Although the bill had undergone revisions, its inclusion in the declaration underscored broader concerns regarding human rights in Canada, encompassing both provincial and federal jurisdictions.

Adoption

The Declaration of Independence was formally adopted on 1 December 2021 (2021-12-01), upon its signing by Princess Cloe. It was subsequently published on the official website of the Principality and disseminated through social media platforms.

Text

The text of the declaration is structured into three sections: "Considerations", "Declaration", and "Signature". It concludes with the signature: "Cloe, by the will of the people, Sovereign Princess of Sancratosia."

Considerations

Coming to the conclusion that human rights are not fully realized in Canada;
Coming to the conclusion that the Canadian monarchy is founded in the primacy of a god, not recognized by us;
Coming to the conclusion that the creation of a micronation is the solution for the realization of the people's will.

Declaration

We the people of Sancratosia, in the free exercise of the right to auto-determination and in the desire to found a constitutional monarchy not founded in the primacy of a god, respecting the human rights and the dignity of the person, establish and declare the independence of the Principality of Sancratosia;
We recognize and establish by our will, the House of Sancratosia as Sovereign Family of the Principality of Sancratosia of which results the exercise of the sovereignty. We affirm our allegiance to the Crown of Sancratosia, to the Sovereign Family and their Heirs and Successors;
We mandate Her Sovereign Highness the Princess Cloe, Sovereing Princess of Sancratosia to sign in our name the present declaration and to give a Constitution to the Principality;
We invite the states and international organizations to recognize the Principality of Sancratosia as a sovereign and independent state.

Signature

We, Princess Cloe, by the will of the people, Sovereign Princess of Sancratosia;
We have voluntarily, and by the exercise of Our sovereignty, signed the present declaration, in the Principality of Sancratosia, on the first day of the month of December of the year two thousand twenty-one.
