Friends of foes of the Republic alike,

It is with great joy that I proclaim the dawn of the indefinite era of independence, sovereignty, and liberty of the Republic of Caigudes, as well as our official secession from the historically occupying United States of America.

Through our collective voices, the people of Caigudes have risen up and spoken. Our people have demanded autonomy and freedom from the historic government’s repressive revenue, commerce, and law enforcement policies.

On the evening of January 8, the people of Caigudes peacefully laid claim to the entirety of our 227.5 acres of territory. Caigudes is located 5 miles from the banks of the Potomac River, within the historically occupying bounds of Montgomery County in the US state of Maryland. Caigudes consists of 8 municipalities, with Village Green as our capital.

The motto of Caigudes, “Llibertat per fi,” stems from the Catalan language, translating to “Liberty at last.” We chose the Catalan language for our motto and constitution because it symbolizes the desire for autonomy and liberty that the people of Catalunya face. As a nation we aim to cement this liberty into the lives of our citizens, residents, visitors, and all who wish to follow in the steps of the Republic to assure liberty for their people.

We are a constitutional republic with a Legislative Council, a High Judicial Tribunal, and a President. Essential human rights are assured to all under the Constitution.

We anticipate disagreement between our people and the historically occupying Federal, State, and Local governments regarding Caigudes’ position alongside our neighbors, however we are committed to peaceful resolution of any issues that may arise.

Therefore, I, as the Transitional Governor of the Republic of Caigudes, hereby proclaim that the Republic be administered by the Transitional Government until a competent National Government has been formed, setting my hand unto this Proclamation this eight day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty six.
