Policy of Peaceful Existence
The Policy of Peaceful Existence, also known as Mejakhanskism, is the most important of the founding principles of the Nemkhav Federation. Composed by President Marka Mejakhansk in 2009, the policy is a set of directives which outlines the way in which a micronation can exist in a peaceful manner, conducting its foreign relations and domestic affairs in a fair fashion.
Origin
The long-time Nemkhav leader composed the Policy during his early entrance to the community with Nemkhavia. Well aware of the importance placed on war and general conflict in both the macro and micronational fields, he sought to create a common set of ideals which could be followed in order to foster a different kind of society. It was continually developed from the nations experiences in different situations, coming to the modern form.
