The New Republic

That's the plan

Just so you all know, there's a church in Oakville that I built. It's not a real church, just some minecraft stuff. If you want to see the church, contact me, if you want to join, contact me.

There is also one in Inzino (I think I spelled that wrong...).

that's catholic (the only reason I remember how to spell that is cat-holic) Mine is pure fiction, but still something to believe in that is logical.

Whoa, now let's calm down before this goes where it seems like it's going...

Sorry to double post, didn't want to combine the 2 topics. Here is a new constitution I would like to propose, it is not perfect, it needs additions and changes (possibly subtractions). Please comment below with any changes you would like to make and where you would like to make them. Here it is!
We, the signatories of this document, declare ourselves to belong to the nation of the New Republic, which is hereby established through our self-recognition as such. The status of belonging to the aforementioned nation is not mutually exclusive or conflictable with being an Empire Minecraftian, an Emperian, an Empire Minecrafter or any other variation, nor is it conflictable with official legal nationality in the real world, it is merely additional to such qualities.
The country known as the New Republic is hereby established, residing anywhere built upon and claimed by a recognized member of the New Republic nationality plus a 5-block radius, except where a construction built by a non-member obstructs it. However, its sovereign territory exists only in the wild where the State is directly ruling or has set up a subordinate representative government to assist the State.
The state overseeing the country of the New Republic is hereby established.
Citizens of the New Republic are known as Neorepublican. Neorepublicans are guaranteed rights and entitlements by the New Republic state and Empire Mine craft.

However this does not make the NR liable for that territory for 3 months.

IIX. Neorepublicans have the right to protection as prescribed by the Empire Minecraft Ten Commandments by both EMC staff and the state.
