Proclamation 020221

Nuclear Free Zone

The United States Government has made and is making repeated efforts to establish a nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain in Southern Nevada. These efforts run in direct opposition to the will of the citizens of the State of Nevada. In addition, these efforts blatantly ignore enormous geological and environmental problems with the chosen repository site. Specifically, the chosen site rests on at least 30 earthquake faults, in an area that demonstrates recent volcanic activity, and has a strong potential for contamination of the aquifer with thallium and uranium leaks from the stored nuclear waste. This aquifer is not localized, but is interconnected with the aquifers of over 70% of the State of Nevada, including that which supplies the Republic of Molossia with its water.



It is the contention of the Government of the Republic of Molossia that the Government of the United States is executing a flawed and dangerous policy in promulgating this site for the long-term storage of nuclear waste. In addition, this government condemns the recent use of the concept of patriotism and "homeland defense" to force this issue on the citizens of Nevada, in defiance of their will. The Government of the Republic of Molossia deplores this project and the shortsighted decision-making that has made this project a reality. It is the opinion of this Government that storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain is an extremely bad idea, bordering on criminal.



Effective immediately, the Republic of Molossia is declared a nuclear-free zone. This declaration is made in protest to the United States Government's promulgation of Yucca Mountain as a nuclear repository, and in protest of that government's ignorance of the will of the citizens of this region and of the irreparable environmental damage this project will create.





This Proclamation has the force of law, effective 21 February 2002 XXV.





Proclamation 001014

The U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848)

It is the stance of the Government of the Republic of Molossia that the U.S.-Mexican War (1846-1848) was a blatant act of aggression and imperialism on the part of the United States against the Mexican Nation. The Government of Molossia officially condemns the invasion and subjugation of the Mexican Nation, and the resultant annexation of 55% percent of its territory. We therefore do not recognise the legality of the occupation of the lands of ceded to the United States after the War, including those now part of the Republic of Molossia.



This policy, however, resignedly accepts the de facto authority the United States holds over this territory, and does not represent an active desire to oppose such authority in any way at this time.



This Proclamation has the force of law, effective 14 October 2000 XXIII.





Proclamation 001013a

Proclamation 001013c

Pregnancy Termination and Assisted Suicide

The Government of the Republic of Molossia considers that the principle of self determination to extends to the individual, beyond that right normally accorded to a people as a group. This personal sovereignty includes the right to make rational decisions regarding an individual's own body, insofar as these decisions do not endanger others (such as wanting to blow oneself up in a crowded square). While this government does not officially condone pregnancy termination, it is forbidden to enact any law or decree restricting a woman's right to select such a method to terminate her pregnancy. This government will not restrict qualified physicians from performing pregnancy termination, nor will it tolerate any actions on the part of individuals or groups to block access to medical facilities performing pregnancy terminations, nor to harass individuals, organizations or medical personnel providing pregnancy termination services.



Furthermore, the Government of the Republic of Molossia extends the right of self determination to those individuals seeking physician-assisted suicide as a recourse to a terminal illness. This Government will not enact any law or decree restricting an individual's right to seek physician-assisted suicide services. This government will not restrict qualified physicians from performing physician-assisted suicide services, nor will it tolerate any actions on the part of individuals or groups to block access to medical facilities performing physician-assisted suicide services, nor to harass individuals, organizations or medical personnel providing physician-assisted suicide services.

This Proclamation has the force of law, effective 13 October 2000 XXIII.

The Republic of Molossia will not grant recognition to nor enter into diplomatic relations with any national entity that is purely a hobby, role-playing game, fictitious experiment or exists solely on the Internet or any resemblance thereof. It will, however, accept and consider polite diplomatic overtures addressed to Molossia from other legitimate nations or entities actively pursuing sovereignty and independence, that seek the establishment of mutual recognition and diplomatic relations.



Only those national entities that actively pursue, or state a firm goal of, "real world" sovereignty and independence will be considered for possible recognition by the Republic of Molossia.



Additionally, it is the policy of the Republic of Molossia that an independent nation, or a nation actively seeking independence, will establish and maintain an active Internet presence for a period not less than 90 days, before such nation will be considered for diplomatic recognition.



Furthermore, any request for diplomatic relations will be considered on a case-by-case basis, without exception.
