What is
Novaltia?
Novaltia is a new European country devoted to
better and more fulfilled lives. We are
dedicated to traditional values and a strong
community spirit and identity. Our Citizens live
all over the world, though we are in the
planning phase to build a physical capital as a
shining example of our noble values. This
capital will be expanded over time in order to
provide a safe and wholesome environment for all
our Citizens, and a lasting legacy for our
descendants.
Why start
a new nation?
Most
other existing state structures have not only
failed their people, but have actively betrayed
them, showing that they are dedicated only to
increasing their own power, influence, wealth,
and territory, without any concern for the
regular people they are supposed to protect.
A purported
nation that is so large that each citizen is too
tiny even for its statistics to perceive has
forfeited its right to speak on behalf of its
people, and has morphed into an unnatural
organism which serves only its own ends.
Novaltia does not view these conventional
nations as
legitimate states, but instead as simply territorial
power cliques propped up by fear and inertia,
for the
enrichment of brutes and bureaucrats. Novaltia,
in contrast, is people-oriented, and devoted only
to the safety, prosperity, and dignity of each
Citizen, and has existence and meaning only
through their participation and loyalty.
We
are not only stronger working together, and more
effective, but life is more rewarding when we
have others of similar mind with whom to share
it. As a nation, rather than individuals, we
also derive immortality through our
children and grandchildren, who, rather than being condemned to
an increasingly degenerate popular culture, will instead be brought up in a
helpful and virtuous culture, which looks
kindly to the past as well as to the future,
honouring tradition while forging a better
tomorrow.
Who is
part of Novaltia?
Novaltia is made up of Europeans and those of
European descent from all walks of life, who are
devoted to the principles previously mentioned.
While we wish peace, friendship, and happiness
for all other peoples of the world, we are
devoted first and foremost to the welfare of our
own fellow Citizens.
A
world where everyone was blended together would
be very boring and a tragedy for our species.
Novaltans hail from more than twenty countries,
and speak dozens of languages. Newcomers are
made to feel at home, and make many new and
lasting friendships.
Where is
Novaltia?
Novaltia is in the minds and hearts of all of
its Citizens, and does not rely on having
physical territory. Nonetheless, we are planning
to obtain a large tract of land in northern
Europe by purchase, to build a beautiful large
town surrounded by bountiful hectares of
farmland and lakes, streams, and forests, to be
known as the Kingdom of Angevin, as the glorious
capital of the Commonwealth of Novaltia.
All
borders of the Kingdom will be protected to ensure that our Citizens
can enjoy the same safe and relaxed atmosphere
that our ancestors could enjoy, free from crime,
tyranny, and blight. Our economy will be based
on quality, rather than quantity, with a focus
on durability and excellence.
Formal independence of our capital's territory will take time, but will
certainly be accomplished, with diplomacy,
persistence, and good stewardship. In the
meantime, simply living in such a nourishing and
healthy community will be nine-tenths of the goal.
Sovereignty, on the other hand, Novaltia already
possesses in full measure. Sovereignty is not a
quality that can be bestowed by bureaucrats or
soldiers or even land, but is a quality inherent
in any community of
people who have loyalty and devotion to a common
identity and purpose, who organise themselves
with a common government and culture, by their
own consent. The Sovereign Military Order of
Malta is another example of a fully sovereign
state without an independent territory; they
even have observer status at the United Nations.
How will
Novaltia succeed?
Novaltia is already succeeding, thanks to the
hard work and dedication of many loyal Citizens.
We know that the growth of a country is not done
only for pleasure, but requires commitment and a
solid sense of duty. Those who join us must have
a similar sense of maturity and loyalty.
Although English is our official language, most
of our Citizens speak English as a second or
even third language, and we are more than
willing to work with any newcomer to help them
comfortably integrate into our community. We are
expanding our multilingual support every day.
Regardless of your
background, age, education, or skills, there is
a place for you in Novaltia. Those who become
Resident Guests are granted access to our private
online Virtual Capital and may hold certain
kinds of offices, and those who graduate to
Citizenship may hold any office, and enjoy full
rights and privileges.
There are no fees or taxes of any kind, except
those that involve our own money supply - which is
earned through activity, internal trade, and
holding various offices and positions. If you
share our values and ideals, you have a duty to
act. There will be no other Novaltia to come
along: this is our chance.
Please join with us
now. If
not for your sake, then for the sake of your
ancestors and descendants.
