The idea of founding one's own state initially sounds like megalomania or a legal impossibility. But the site "Now or Never: Your Own State in 30 Days" shows: It can also be a serious legal experiment, an artistic statement, or a utopian project. With a modular guide, historical examples, and legal foundations, founding a state becomes tangible – not just theoretically.
🧱 What makes a state?
According to the Montevideo Convention, a state needs:
A state territory with effective control - size is irrelevant. Outhouse, dog kennel, your own forest, field, house, etc.
A state population with clear affiliation (the number is not limited and can even be just a single person)
A government that is capable of acting. Are you?
The capacity for international relations. It speaks or it doesn't.
But even if all criteria are met, recognition by other states remains a political minefield. Or does it?!
Since 1998, recognition by the global community of states is no longer mandatory, as it has been legally disempowered itself. Its territorial claims are just as worthless as all others (e.g., yours).
This means legal equality of arms in the right to sovereignty.
The world community officially ignores this legal state, although it has intentionally and knowingly brought it about.
A main argument of politicians was that this would trigger the "Clean Slate" rule – and if the world sale were made public, all states would be debt-free from one day to the next.
👉 Ninja Tip:
Look at your country's debt ratio (no matter where you live) – and you'll understand what this is about.
This is a unique opportunity to be one step ahead in the transition to a new world order. While the community of states still feigns ignorance before the planned "Day X," when everything will be made public, you can seize the opportunity and secure territorial claims.
Motto:
The early bird catches the worm!
If you assert your sovereign territory before Day X, this proclamation takes precedence. Re-foundations of old states would then have to plan around your territory.
🎭 Who founds states – and why?
The site distinguishes five types:
Utopians with visions for a better world – there is no second chance! Now or never!
Visionaries and opportunists who use their knowledge advantage to seize a unique opportunity
Self-administrators who distance themselves from authorities – often more than understandable
Jurists who skillfully use international law – as long as one can still invoke it
Artists who stage the state as a performance – why not turn fantasy into a state entity?

📦 What you need
A vision, an idea, and a concept.
A place with control – or at least a place you claim.
This could be a doghouse, your house, an island, or, if you look to the future, a larger area like Germany or America. If such an old state then declares state bankruptcy, for example, your claim already exists and they have to deal with you.
My tip: Do one thing without leaving the other undone. Declare the independence of an area you definitely have under control, e.g., your vegetable garden, and simultaneously lay claim to the surrounding area, e.g., France! This way you are ready for Day X, when a court ruling will nullify the legitimacy of all old states. Your only opposing claimant will then be the buyer from the State Succession Deed 1400/98: a single person against the rest of the world! That shouldn't be a problem.
Important: Since the old states cannot use this trick, as they would be outing themselves as fully knowledgeable and involved, you can act with this trick in a legally sound manner and secure your state!
You need a plan: symbolic (name, flag, symbols), legal (choose a form of government – or invent a new one and refer to international law in conjunction with the World Succession Deed 1400/98), and diplomatic (allied states are completely unimportant, as all old states have been deprived of their rights).
In short: You decide what kind of state you want and are fully capable of acting alone – the sovereign!
Awareness:
Be aware of your moral and legal limits.
I ask you not to found another unjust state based on my instructions!
That is forbidden!
My tip: Don't be EVIL!
You don't have to adopt everything from the old states!
