We recognize that our culture is our strength.

This includes the establishment of cultural centers, educational programs, and digital archives to ensure our heritage thrives in the modern world.

With determination, we embrace challenges and opportunities, striving for a society where every citizen is valued and heard. We pledge to uphold democracy, equality before the law, and respect for human rights.
As the people of the Xi-Amaru Republic, we hereby ordain and establish this Constitution for the governance of our sovereign nation. May this Constitution guide us towards a future of freedom, prosperity, and unity for all.
The Xi-Amaru Republic is officially recognized as an independent nation, with the full authority to govern itself and maintain its autonomy. The sovereignty of the Xi-Amaru Republic extends over its entire territory, including all lands, waters, and natural resources, as acknowledged by international law and historical agreements.
The government is structured as a republic, based on democratic and representative principles. It consists of three branches: the Legislative, the Executive, and the Judicial. Each branch is complementary, independent, and not subordinate to the others. The rotation of the Presidency of the Republic is mandatory, and any violation of this rule will be considered treason against the nation.
The official language of The Xi-Amaru Republic is English.
The national symbols are: the Flag, the Holder of Nations, and the National Anthem. The law shall establish their characteristics and shall regulate their use.
The coordinates 36.35272°N,77.64591°W constitute the capital of the Republic.
The Xi-Amaru Republic exercises exclusive control over its internal affairs, such as legislation, governance, and administration, without any external interference. The nation’s sovereignty is absolute and cannot be compromised or negotiated. No external authority has the right to infringe upon the rights and freedoms of its citizens or impede its sovereign powers.
The Xi-Amaru Republic has the prerogative to establish diplomatic relations, treaties, and agreements with other countries and international organizations, aiming to promote mutual cooperation, peace, and prosperity. The government of the Xi-Amaru Republic is committed to upholding the principles of sovereignty, self-determination, and territorial integrity in all its interactions with foreign powers and entities.
Any attempt to undermine the sovereignty of the Xi-Amaru Republic will be considered a direct threat to the fundamental rights and interests of its citizens, and necessary actions will be taken to protect and preserve the nation’s sovereignty. The Xi-Amaru Republic reaffirms its dedication to the principles of international law, including the right of all peoples to self-determination. It will actively support initiatives that advance the rights and freedoms of indigenous peoples worldwide.
Furthermore, the Xi-Amaru Republic encourages a strong sense of pride, unity, and responsibility among its citizens, as they safeguard the nation’s independence and heritage.
The Xi-Amaru Republic, built on the foundation of self-determination, proudly exercises the right to self-governance. This fundamental principle grants the indigenous peoples comprising our nation the authority to enact laws, establish policies, and administer affairs within our jurisdiction.
In upholding the principles of self-governance, the Xi-Amaru Republic adheres to the following tenets:
A. Legislative Authority: The Xi-Amaru Republic possesses the power to enact laws, statutes, and regulations governing our internal affairs. This legislative authority is subject to the provisions of this Constitution and international law, ensuring the protection of our citizens’ rights.
B. Executive Authority: The Xi-Amaru Republic appoints executive officials and bodies responsible for implementing and enforcing laws, executing policies, and managing governmental functions. These officials operate in accordance with the Constitution and established legal procedures, upholding the principles of transparency and accountability.
C. Judicial Authority: The Xi-Amaru Republic establishes an independent judiciary tasked with interpreting laws, resolving disputes, and upholding justice and the rule of law within our territory. This ensures the fair and impartial administration of justice, safeguarding the rights of our citizens.
D. Administrative Authority: The Xi-Amaru Republic maintains administrative agencies and institutions responsible for overseeing public services, managing resources, and facilitating the efficient operation of government functions. These entities uphold the principles of efficiency, effectiveness, and responsiveness in serving our citizens.
The self-governance of the Xi-Amaru Republic is deeply rooted in the values of democracy, transparency, accountability, and participation. We recognize and respect the voices and interests of our citizens, ensuring their representation and protection.
To foster a culture of civic responsibility, inclusivity, and empowerment, the government of the Xi-Amaru Republic actively promotes the active engagement of its adult citizens of sound mind in the democratic process. We encourage the participation of all individuals in shaping the future of our nation, valuing diversity and unity.
The Xi-Amaru Republic acknowledges the inherent right of its indigenous peoples to govern themselves in accordance with their customs, traditions, and cultural practices. This recognition is accompanied by a commitment to safeguarding the fundamental rights and freedoms of all individuals within our territory.
In order to ensure meaningful participation, the government of the Xi-Amaru Republic establishes mechanisms for consultation, collaboration, and dialogue with indigenous communities. These mechanisms guarantee that decisions impacting their lives, lands, and resources are made in consultation with and with the consent of the affected communities.
Any delegation of authority or transfer of powers between the Xi-Amaru Republic and external entities shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the principles of self-governance, sovereignty, and the best interests of the nation and its citizens. Such decisions are made with utmost care and consideration, ensuring the preservation of our nation’s integrity and the protection of our citizens’ rights.
The sovereignty of the state originates from the people, who hold the power from which all state functions are derived. This power is exercised through representation. Any attempt to undermine popular sovereignty or unlawfully seize the constitutionally bestowed power will be considered treason against the nation. In such cases, the responsible individuals will face legal consequences, which can be initiated by the competent authority or upon the petition of any citizen.
No individual is obligated to comply with a government that has unlawfully seized power or individuals who have assumed office or public service through the use of force or by disregarding the provisions outlined in the Constitution and other laws. The actions taken by such authorities are considered null and void. The people have the right to defend the constitutional order and rise up against such violations.
The government of the Republic must be founded on the principles of popular sovereignty, the self-determination of the people, and participatory democracy. These principles form the basis of the government and are essential for ensuring the active involvement of the citizens in the decision-making processes of the Indian Country. Popular sovereignty means that the ultimate power and authority reside with the people, who exercise their will through elections and other forms of participation. Self-determination of the people emphasizes the right of the citizens to determine their own political, economic, and social systems. Participatory democracy encourages the active participation of all political sectors in the Public Administration, promoting political stability and social peace in the Indian Country.
Participatory democracy is important for the Xi-Amaru Republic’s political stability and social peace because it ensures that the voices of all citizens are heard and considered in the decision-making process. Participatory democracy empowers citizens, strengthens the social fabric, and creates a sense of collective responsibility. By involving all sound minded citizens of the legal age of society in decision-making, it fosters political stability and social peace by ensuring that the government’s actions reflect the will and needs of the people.
The referendum is called to seek the ratification or rejection of an ordinary law or a constitutional norm, including approved reforms, by the citizens.
The plebiscite is called to obtain the people’s opinion on constitutional, legislative, or administrative aspects where the Constitutional Powers have not made a prior decision.
Both the referendum and the plebiscite can be held at the national, regional, sub-regional, departmental, and municipal level.
The power to request a referendum or plebiscite is granted to the following entities:
A. At least three percent (3%) of the citizens registered in the National Electoral Census, based on data periodically provided by the Supreme Electoral Tribunal to the National Congress.
B. At least 9 representatives of the National Congress.
C. The Executive Chief of the Republic, through a resolution of the Council of Secretaries of State.
Citizens’ right to vote in consultations is compulsory.
For the result of a citizen consultation to be binding, there must be a minimum of fifty-one percent (51%) participation based on the total number of votes in the last general election, and the affirmative vote must achieve the majority of valid votes.
The Special Law will determine who has the initiative to request the convening of a citizen consultation at levels below the national level, as well as the required percentage of participation for validity.
Once the official result is known within the timeframe specified by the Special Law, the Supreme Electoral Tribunal will inform the National Congress. The National Congress will issue a decree mandating compliance with the rules resulting from the citizen consultation.
If the initiative submitted for consultation is approved, it does not require the approval or veto of the Executive branch. Consequently, the National Congress will order the publication of the approved rules. These rules can only be rejected or amended through the same approval process.
Consultations on the same subjects cannot be conducted during the same or subsequent government period.

They will still retain their Xi-Amaru nationality, as stated in Article 27. Additionally, the cancellation of naturalization papers in accordance with the law does not affect the nationality of the person’s spouse and children.
