Every person on this planet has the legal right to organize and form their own government.
No person, or existing government, can tell you that you have to ask them for permission first. You don't.
You are freely entitled to start your own political institution. It is a personal choice.
If you decide to join the Federation, we will fight to the death to protect your rights as a Free Citizen, to defend and ensure our continued existence as a global institution, and to protect our constitution at all costs.
