==Preamble==

We the proprietors and administrators of the Free and Autonomous Nation of Nevis, in order to guard the freedom of those who visit or reside within this community, do hereby ordain and establish this Constitution and impose its restrictions on ourselves and on them. We require that every person within the freezone hold the following fundamental tenets to be the supreme law, inalterable, eternal, and sacred.

==Article I.==

*The overall legal structure for the Free and Autonomous Nation of Nevis shall be polycentric.

*No legal or military body or industry may prohibit any proprietor from freely selecting his own tools or agents of defense and law which are in compliance with this constitution.

*No region may prohibit the use of any monetary unit of choice by its residents. 

*No legal, military, or other organization or region within Nevis may prevent any party under its jurisdiction, that is in compliance with this constitution, from transferring to another. But no debt shall be eliminated by such transfer.

*No person or organization within this community may be granted immunities or other special privileges by or for the community, or represent the community as a whole.

*This constitution and the rules of civil society herein identified shall be enforced privately, by each free, independent, and sovereign resident, his freely chosen arbitrators and defenders, and the invisible hand of the market.

==Article II.==

No law or legal action touching the residents, members, or visitors in this community shall:

* intrude directly or indirectly, against anyone's person, property, or mutual transactions, 
* restrict anyone's thoughts, or nonintrusive actions in, on, or with his person or property, 
* dictate anyone's thoughts, or actions concerning his person or property, 
* take anyone's money, property, time, labor, health, or life against his will, 
* prevent anyone from defending his person, property, thoughts, or actions, or 
* obstruct compensation to a victim of the above classes of aggression, or to his estate, for actual losses suffered thereby. 

==Article III.==

A person, member, or enterprise that is not a resident of this Community may receive associative protections granted to local residents, organizations, and businesses by signing, dating, and continuously abiding by the <b>[[Civil Order Pact]]</b> which reads as follows:

<b>I/We will not willfully support or defend any public or private action that: 

* intrudes against anyone's person, property, or mutual transactions, 
* restricts anyone's thoughts, or nonintrusive actions in, on, or with his person or property, 
* dictates anyone's thoughts, or actions concerning his person or property, 
* takes anyone's money, property, time, labor, health, or life, against his will, 
* prevents anyone from defending his person, property, thoughts, or actions, or 
* obstructs compensation to a victim of the above classes of aggression, or to his estate, for actual losses suffered thereby. </b>

In order to preserve the civil reputation of this community, every person, member, and enterprise of same must abide by this Pact in individual or collective relations with foreigners. Foreign individuals may bring disputes regarding same before local arbitrators for settlement.

==Article IV.==

Any internal or external law or norm, touching any resident of this community, directly or indirectly, individually or collectively, which is in disaccord with, or defiance of, the spirit or letter of this Constitution, is henceforth null and void. Anyone authoring or attempting to enforce the same shall share liability for any losses to persons who shall have suffered therefrom and will forfeit the protections granted under this constitution.
