Imagine scrolling through your social media feed and suddenly coming across information that at first seems completely unreal. For example, that your country is not a country at all, but a corporation registered in a commercial register. Sounds strange, doesn’t it?
And indeed, if you visit certain websites, you can find data showing that even a country like France is registered as a regular legal entity with its own SIRET number. So what does this mean? Does it mean that France, Germany, the US, and most countries in the world are not states, but business projects?
At first glance, it seems absurd, but let’s take a closer look at the situation.
The State as a Business
It is easy to find documents on the internet proving that many countries are officially registered in international commercial registers. Their governments, ministries, and even courts are also legal entities subject to commercial and maritime law. Why maritime law? Because it has historically regulated international trade and commercial disputes.
The question arises: if the state is a corporation, then who are we, ordinary citizens?
This is where it gets interesting. According to this unusual theory, at birth, a person is given not just a name, but a “trade name,” a kind of product label. This ‘label’ is linked to your birth certificate, passport, and other documents confirming your “value” as a citizen and taxpayer.
Don’t rush to smile or roll your eyes—the theory sounds strange, but it has many supporters, especially in the US and Europe. People believe that in this way, the state uses its citizens as resources who are obliged to pay taxes, follow instructions, and obey the rules of the system.
Is it Possible to Break Free?
Now, imagine that there is a way to get rid of this “trade name” and regain your status as a completely free and sovereign person. Proponents of this approach say that this is possible thanks to a system called “Common Law Court.”
It is important to clarify that Common Law is traditional English law based on precedents and principles of natural justice, not laws invented by bureaucrats.
The idea is that a person declares themselves a sovereign being and withdraws from the jurisdiction of the commercial state. In this way, they are no longer obliged to obey laws with which they disagree, including compulsory medical procedures, taxes, fines, or social services.
It sounds incredible, but more and more people around the world are choosing this path.
Idea of Gaining Sovereignty
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many people found that their personal freedom was severely restricted by the state. Mass compulsory vaccinations, QR codes, restrictions on movement, and business closures all contributed to a growing distrust of government institutions.
People felt that the state was interfering in their lives too much and often without justification.
This is why the concept of sovereignty and breaking free from state control has gained new momentum. It is society’s reaction to excessive government interference in private life, which has become particularly evident in recent years.
How Does This Work in Practice?
To become a “sovereign person,” you need to register your “real name” in a so-called Common Law Court. Essentially, you officially notify the state that you are no longer its “property” and do not recognize yourself as subject to its laws if they violate your personal rights.
Supporters claim that by doing so, a person gains legal protection from state arbitrariness and can refuse coercive measures such as compulsory vaccination or other medical procedures for themselves and their children. This allows them to preserve their personal freedoms and protect themselves from state arbitrariness.
However, there is a downside to this.
Possible Consequences
Of course, it sounds appealing to reject the burden of taxes, fines, and bureaucrats. But it is important to understand that such actions have consequences:
- Legal uncertainty: government agencies may not recognize your status as a sovereign individual, which will create difficulties in your daily life.
- Social isolation: refusing to identify yourself to government agencies may result in the loss of social benefits (pensions, insurance, social assistance).
- Problems with movement and travel: to travel abroad, you need documents recognized by official authorities, and without them, you simply cannot leave the country.
These points should be considered by anyone who decides to go down this path.
What Do We Have in the End?
So, to sum up:
- States can indeed register as commercial corporations.
- Citizens are treated in this system as resources subject to commercial law.
- There is a movement advocating withdrawal from this system through self-recognition as a sovereign individual.
- This solution has both attractive features and obvious risks and inconveniences.
Our task is not to persuade you to make a specific decision, but to introduce you to the fact that such an approach exists. In the next part, we will examine in more detail the arguments of supporters and critics of “sovereignty” and offer conclusions that will allow you to decide for yourself whether it is worth moving in this direction.
In the meantime, finish your coffee, put down your phone, and think about whether you would like to wake up one day completely free from all obligations to the state, and whether you are prepared for the consequences of such a decision.
