The authority of a state to govern itself. Our goal as a group is to gain independence, so that we are no longer forced to rely on the unjust systems that exist. We will govern ourselves as a community, individuals free to pursue our own passions, while coexisting and collaborating. We will gain sovereignty through building off-grid infrastructure and caring for the land. It will provide us with everything we need to survive and more.

A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly. Decisions will be made by voting. Everyone is given the right to state their case. All members will vote. The majority wins.

Meeting our needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Our current society is compromising the needs of future generations by destroying the planet. There are enough resources on Earth to sustain everyone without us irrevocably damaging the environment. We are suffering due to unequitable resource distribution and hoarding. As a community, we will not repeat those mistakes. We will balance environmental, sociological and economic factors to fulfill our duties to ourselves, each other and future generations.

The quality of being fair and impartial. As individuals, we all have different circumstances. Resources and opportunity will be distributed to reach an outcome in which we are equals.

The practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit. We will care for each other and share goods, resources and services. Nature is the ultimate provider. Even when we destroy it, nature gives. It produces everything humans need; oxygen, food, water, shelter. In return for those services, we will care for the land through ecological restoration, stewardship and sustainable resource management.
