The Steps to Claiming a Sovereign Territory

  1. Create a Private Pure Trust Declaration
The first thing to do in claiming a sovereign territory is to prepare a Private Pure Trust Declaration. This is your deed of trust between you and your land where you declare that you are the owner of the land and responsible before it. File this declaration in your local records office. Obtain a certified copy of the record with stamp/seal from the record office.
  1. Claim of Right
Once the Private Pure Trust Declaration is drawn up, you'll have to go down to your local records office and file what's called a Claim of Right. This gives notice that you have a right of self-governance and autonomous control over your land. Obtain from them a certified copy of the record bearing the stamp/seal of the record office.
  1. Publish Public Notice of Your Claim
Giving Public Notice in the National Gazette: Your claim must be given public notice in the national gazette in order for this to be made official. This will make your claim publicly known and secure your position as a sovereign over your land.
  1. Cancel Registration of Land
You no longer recognize foreign authorities that would arbitrarily register your land since you are now a sovereign territory. Complete the process by canceling the registration of your land in the local records office.
  1. Record of Establishment of a Sovereign Territory
Create a Record of Establishment of a Sovereign Territory, outlining the actions you have undertaken in claiming your territory. You will mail this document to the former presumed holder of the territorial rights to officially declare your sovereignty.

In a Nutshell

Claiming a sovereign territory is quite an ambitious process, requiring careful preparation and diligence in execution. Take care to study each step thoroughly and adapt to particular conditions that may present to you, and don't be afraid to ask for advice where needed.

The Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is an international treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 1933.
The convention establishes the definition of the State, its rights and obligations.
In Article 1 it establishes four characteristic criteria of a State that have become part of customary international law.
They have been recognized as confirmation in International Law, establishing that a State as a person of International Law must meet the following requirements:
ARTICLE 1
The State as a subject of International Law must meet the following requirements:
I. – Permanent population.
II. —Determined territory.
III. -Government.
IV. —Ability to enter into relations with other States.
Under these guidelines, any entity that meets these criteria can be considered a sovereign state under international law, whether or not it has been recognized by other states.
ARTICLE 3
The political existence of the state is independent of its recognition by other states.
Even before being recognized, the State has the right to defend its integrity and independence.
ARTICLE 7
The recognition of the State may be express or tacit. The latter results from any act that implies the intention to recognize the new State.
