An Address to Everyone
The world lacks the voice of people themselves. We are founding a people so that this voice comes into being.
Wars between countries go on, and no international organization can stop them. The institutions that are supposed to put things right in the world no longer fully cope with their functions. All important decisions are made by governments, while people from different countries cannot express a common opinion that would help solve various problems.
That is why we are founding the voluntary and transnational Earthlings people. This is a new institution: a direct voice of people across borders. Behind every vote in it stands a verified living person, and the result of any vote can be recounted by anyone. The institution will become international when it is heard, and that depends on us.
The Earthlings Declaration
By the Declaration, people constitute themselves as a people: a community of those who have chosen to belong to one another and recognize that belonging mutually.
It says what we stand on, what we guarantee to every person, and what limits we set for ourselves. One person, one vote. No one holds power over another. Leaving is free at any moment.
Each person signs it for themselves. A people exists only as long as there are people who have freely confirmed that they belong to it.

The Founding Period
A people that creates itself adopts its own rules itself. That is why the Declaration has not yet been adopted: it is an initial edition, open to proposals.
Anyone may propose a change - to the Declaration, the Charter, or any other document of the corpus. There is no need to join or to confirm your identity to do so. Every proposal is published together with the answer to it, whether accepted or declined.
Then the text is put to a vote of those who have confirmed their identity. Once adopted, the Declaration becomes the founding document of the people, and the principles of its unamendable core become irrevocable forever.
- 22 November 2026proposals open across the whole corpus.
- 20 February 2027proposals close.
- 13 March 2027the record is published: all proposals received and the replies to them.
- 3 April 2027the vote on the adoption of the Declaration.
The Earthlings Digital Platform
The platform is the daily life of the people: identity verification, a non-transferable passport, cells, votes, and the accounting of the internal economy. It is built and running: the tour opens right here.
The platform makes no decisions. It carries out the rules set by the Charter: it provides the interface, records the outcome, and puts it into effect. One person, one passport, one vote.

Objections and Answers
- This is a network state, a charter city, or a micronation in disguise.
There are six distinctions, each verifiable against the founding documents: not a state (no territory and no coercive authority), not separatism (it changes no borders), not an abolition of citizenship, not a parallel jurisdiction (it neither judges nor coerces), not tax avoidance, not digital anarchism.
Network states aim at territory and statehood; Earthlings deliberately does not. This is a different step: the self-determination of the human being and of their belonging, not the building of a state.
- You undermine sovereignty: a parallel structure over the citizens of states.
Additive self-determination rests on four properties of the scheme. Belonging instead of jurisdiction: no territory, and no jurisdiction over space, resources, or the populations of states. The word instead of force: no armed or coercive structures. Position instead of authority: no taxation, no criminal jurisdiction, no regulation of economies. Addition instead of replacement: where applicable laws conflict, the mandatory norms of the national jurisdiction prevail.
A person keeps their citizenship, their tax obligations, and the jurisdiction to which they are subject - belonging to Earthlings is only an addition.
- This is yet another DAO. There have been projects like it before, and they all slid into plutocracy.
The objection is strong, and we accept its first part: the infrastructure really is the same. A distributed ledger, on-chain voting, rules enforced by code - none of this is new, and none of it guarantees anything by itself.
The vote is tied to a confirmed human being, not to a balance. The unit of account gives no votes whatever the amount held; economic weight and the right to decide are separated architecturally.
