The Federal Libertarian Declaration

With the proclamation of the Federal Republic came the "Federal Libertarian Declaration", a manifesto outlining the different core principles of the Federal Republic of Akathyzia has been written by Grayson Kathar, the provisional leader of the union:

I. Liberty

Every man and woman have the right to self-determination without the intervention of the state or their fellow citizens.
Each have the inalienable right to practice their religion as they see fit, to pursue personal economic prosperity through private property, and to live their personal life however they see fit, as long as it doesn't trample on their fellow citizens' rights.
Every man and woman will have the right to own firearms, regardless of a local administration's laws.
In no way should taxes ever go above 35%, nor should currency be centralized by the government, as doing so would tread on the previously talked about freedom of prosperity, and to avoid any kind of monetary coercion.

II. Administration

The country's territories will initially be divided among 5 administrative divisions, called Cantons. Each Canton will then be divided between different Counties along the lines of the different population centers.
The Cantons themselves will possess their own legislation covering issues not covered by the Libertarian Declaration, and will be free to choose what kind of governing style they want for their Canton.

The leader of the country will be named Chancellor, will possess limited executive powers, will oversee the national budget, and will be elected directly and democratically by the peoples of Akathyzia. They will also represent the country on the international stage, and will have limited power over the country's military. The Chancellor will also be free to appoint different ministers in order to evenly distribute his tasks and duties. The Chancellor's term will last 5 years, and will only be allowed to be elected twice, and no more than that.

III. Protection and Security

On a county, canton and national level will be a police force tasked with upholding civil order and enforcing regional laws, though smaller police departments will be subject to their higher administrative power's authority if they prove to be unable to deal with a given problem. If a criminal leaves an administrative region, they are still subject to arrest even if they physically move to a region where the given crime isn't punishable.

Concerning national defense, the Federal Republic will, as of writing, oversee three military departments, all grouped under the "Akathyzian Defense Force": the Akathyzian Federal Army, the Akathyzian Air Force, and the Liberation Militia, though other departments will no doubt be added to the list as time goes on. The Liberation Militia's purpose being that of giving limited military training to individuals seeking to protect their homeland from foreign invaders. The purpose of these departments will be that of holding the government accountable in case of tyranny and guarding the Akathyzian people from outside threats, as well as upholding the constitution. An army officer is not permitted to run for office until he is permanently retired.
In no way should the Army be permitted to lead a war of aggression on its own without the accord of the Chancellor.

The Declaration will be subject to change in the coming years as the fledgling nation finds its ground, and will most likely be acting as a guide and constitution for the Akathyzian government for years to come.
