A libertarian country has formed right in the heart of America!

All the inner states are landlocked. They have offered citizenship to all the people that live within their boundaries. Whatever economy that exists there now would remain the current economy. There is already infrastructure in place and people already live there.

We will have to see where this goes, but it's very clear that this secession is legitimate.

What I meant is I do not belive that "area" of land can sustain itself as a nation without outside help. Even if the US decided not to send the 7th Cavalry to stop them, they would not be friendly to them decalring independance so you can bet they will not be getting any goods from the US.

Since it is landlocked by the US everything coming in or out has to pass through US airspace or over land so.. In the end they will have to fight a war with no real possibility of winning you need a sea port and a REAL industrial infrastructure to even entertain the idea..

This is NOT legitimate. Unfortunately for Means, he does not have the authority to withdraw from any treaties in that he does not officially represent the Lakota people.

Russell Means is an official representative of the Lakotah people. This is not his sole effort.

Notice to All Prospective Buyers and Lessors of Government Owned Real Estate within the Republic of Lakotah
Lakota, through its government, have appointed representatives to withdraw from all the treaties with the United States of America.
Lakota, through such representatives, have formally withdrawn from all agreements and treaties with the United States of America. The reinstitution of our freedom and independence is found in law.
Lakotah has reclaimed sovereignty as a nation and over its traditional lands. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties substantiate this freedom.
While we have the right to impose liens on all of the real estate in our country, we are only declaring liens on real estate held by governments foreign to the Republic of Lakotah, but not on real estate held by private parties. However, if you buy, lease, or make any other real estate transaction with any government foreign to the Republic of Lakotah after this date, the real estate may be subject to a lien by the Republic of Lakotah or the Bank of the Republic of Lakotah. This would especially apply to the purchase of tax deeds or extraction rights.
If you are interested in obtaining any such property free and clear of any lien by the Republic of Lakotah or the Bank of the Republic of Lakotah, please let us know.


We look forward to making win-win solutions with all people in our country.
Russell Means
Chief Facilitator
Provisional Government

The Lakota Sioux are not the "Republic of Lakota". He has as much authority to withdraw from a treaty as you do as President of Ron Paul Forums.

I agree, kinda. Their success would depend largely on free trade with the United States. Given that, imagine the business lobby in Washington for free trade with Lakota, especially if they establish a low tax, low regulation haven. I think we know how powerful lobbyist can be too.

What he said, come on guys, I can't tell if your serious or not here but the US can simply blockade the area into submission without ever having to directly violent intervention. That is, if more than 5% of the citizens there would actually succeed and not just continue to operate as if the area is US territory.
