The Constitution of Redland

Adopted this day, in the Year 2025 A.D.

We, the people of Redland, united by a shared heritage and purpose, do hereby establish this Constitution to preserve, protect, and promote the unique cultural, historical, and biological legacy of the red-haired peoples of the world. In recognition of our minority status, the loss of ancestral identity, and the erosion of our cultural autonomy, we found this nation—not by conquest, but by conviction—to secure a future for our children, rooted in tradition, dignity, and peace.

1. This nation shall be known as Redland, a sovereign cultural community established to serve and protect the red-haired peoples globally.
2. Redland shall operate as a voluntary cultural state, with both physical and virtual presence, governed by democratic principles and bound by this Constitution.
3. The primary purposes of Redland are: a. Cultural preservation of red-haired history, traditions, and Celtic-rooted customs; b. Genetic protection and ethical procreation among red-haired individuals to ensure survival of the MC1R gene; c. Establishment of intentional communities and settlements in regions suitable for cultural autonomy; d. Education and advocacy on behalf of red-haired people worldwide.

3. Non-redheaded allies and supporters may be welcomed as visitors or guests, but shall not be permitted residency, citizenship, or political participation within Redland.
4. This restriction is not intended to discriminate, but to preserve the unique genetic and cultural identity of Redland’s people and support the growth of the red-haired population.

1. Amendments to this Constitution may be proposed by citizen petition (10% of voting populace) or a two-thirds vote by the Council of Elders.
2. All amendments must be ratified by a national vote requiring a two-thirds majority.
3. No amendment shall alter or revoke the foundational principle that Redland is a sovereign community exclusively for those of red-haired genetic heritage. This clause is hereby declared immutable and permanent.

This Constitution shall go into effect upon ratification by a founding congress of at least one hundred (100) eligible citizens.

In witness whereof, we affix our names to this founding document, with honor and solemnity, pledging our fidelity to Redland, to each other, and to the future of our people.
