Full Definition of “Exostate”

An Exostate is a state of human living or social ministry, which is clearly distinguishable in one or more significant ways from the norms and practices of the recognised ‘parent State’.

A personal exostate, exostational existence or existational way of life are terms that describe an Exostate that is particular to the individual, in which he or she, either publicly or privately, purposefully lives by one or more markedly alternative principles of behaviour to those decreed by the Nation State or ‘parent State’.

A collective exostate, territorial exostate or exostational community are terms that describe a group Exostate, in which like-minded people, either openly or covertly, form an observable or conceptual state of social governance and/or living, which may aim to exist completely separation from the parent State, or may exist within it in a standard way, and be distinguishable only in certain specific norms or practices.

All Exostates operate within the fundamental precepts of Natural Law and Common Law – the basic right of every sovereign individual to life, liberty and freedom from physical harm and freedom from the forced acquisition of their fundamental belongings or their home. In other words, no legitimate Exostate can ever act in ways that are generally and universally understood to be unlawful or criminal in nature.

Furthermore, a basic comprehension of the differences between traditionally accepted Natural Law (what is socially lawful) and State legislation (what is politically legal) is essential for anyone who wishes to establish a personal or collective Exostate.

Any civilised Nation State should welcome the creation of ‘child’ Exostates to be formed within the ‘parent State’, both those that are geographical and philosophical in nature.

Exostates are never dramatically divergent from the parent state’s traditional values, but they may seek to confront them by offering more civilised alternatives – more peaceful; more compassionate; more consistent; or more aligned with local, regional, or indigenous interests.

No legitimate exostate would ever represent another Nation State’s culture or values, or exist to act as ‘Trojan horse’ for another Nation State or external ideology or group, which might logically be regarded as a way to infiltrate or undermine the Sovereign Parent Nation. The exostate exists to augment, evolve, or perhaps even to eventually replace the Parent State, but never to dismantle it.

It is a fact that those Nation States that adhere to the tenets of Common Law, have persistently provided healthy and necessary alternative ideas within the global social conversation.

Likewise, but on a much larger scale, numerous ‘competing’ Exostates within a parent Nation State, which aim to cultivate the perfect ‘mini-society’ on behalf of their Exostate members, may be viewed and analysed by the greater populace and by their political representatives, in order that they may reject those practices shown to fail, whilst adopting those that succeed. In this way, Exostates are the perfect social laboratories in the search for an ideal society.

Such a people led decentralisation of State and corporate governance into local and regional Exostates is a logical objective within postglobalist politics, and would ultimately lead to a utopian era of ‘true democracy’, which must always have the lawful and peaceful sovereign individual as both its master and its judge.
