Declaration of independence
Declaration of Independence of Woodland from the United Kingdom - 2023
In Congress, May 4, 2022
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one micronation to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's creator entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of humankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all nations are created equal, that they are endowed by their inhabitants with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among nations, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the nation to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
Such has been the patient sufferance of Woodland; such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the United Kingdom is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over Woodland. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.
They have imposed unjust laws upon Woodland without the consent of its people.
They have levied taxes upon the inhabitants of Woodland without representation in the British Parliament.
They have exercised control over Woodland's natural resources without regard for its environment or the welfare of its citizens.
They have failed to recognize the right of Woodland to govern itself in accordance with the principles of liberty and justice.
They have suppressed the aspirations of the Woodland people for self-determination and independence.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our repeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A British government that would resort to such unjust measures as to disregard the rights of a micronation like Woodland has shown itself to be unworthy of its role in the international community.
Therefore, Woodland, representing the will of its people and their inalienable right to self-determination, hereby declares itself an independent and sovereign micronation, free from the oppressive rule of the United Kingdom. Woodland shall henceforth assume its separate and equal station among the nations of the world and exercise all powers of self-governance and diplomacy. In support of this declaration, Woodland pledges to uphold the principles of liberty, justice, and environmental stewardship upon which it was founded.
We, the representatives of Woodland, in accordance with the will and consent of our people, appeal to the international community to recognize our independence and sovereignty, and to establish diplomatic and friendly relations with our newly-formed nation.
In witness whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our names.
