First project of its kind in the history of mankind!

We are all living in turbulent times and often cannot achieve our goals in life because of various restrictions and barriers we face. Modern times we live in should allow us much more opportunities in our private lives, as well as in our business adventures.

Our possibilities should not be predetermined nor limited by our location of residence, our financial status, religion or race, language, sexual orientation, or because of dishonest political reasons. Our lives and work should only be limited by our own desires. Such society can only prosper as a community that is completely apolitical, democratic, liberal, open-minded and efficient in serving its members.

The Issa Lauda project has already started and you can join it and experience your full potential of life and work. 

Issa Lauda is a legal, legitimate, liberal and apolitical sovereign state. It is the first state that exceeds outdated barriers for citizenship and state obligations towards its citizens and it also strives to modernize criteria for statehood, as we know it today. It is time for a new age. It reflects the idea of a proper democratic community and it is a state and an institution for serving the members, its citizens so they can only benefit form it.

The citizens of Issa Lauda are the first and only real global citizens.

You are surely wondering: “If this is a state, where is it located?” and “Could you legally even establish a state like this?”

During the years of legal due-diligence, planning, preparing and developing of this project with several experts from various fields of expertise we have become the first in history to comply with internationally recognized legal restrictions/standards and to create a structure that satisfies all internationally accepted criteria for statehood simultaneously. That’s how we establish a state. To do that and to follow our vision of a liberal apolitical society we had to do something that has not been done yet – form a unique legal creation, unique legal subject.

We have established this state accordingly to all 4 Criteria for Statehood accepted by International law and International community.

The recognized and globally accepted formulation of criteria for statehood is written in Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (Article 1) from year 1933:  

“The State as a person of international law should possess the following qualifications: (a) a permanent population; (b) a defined territory; (c) government; and (d) capacity to enter into relations with other States.”

Although the Montevideo law provides the basis for statehood it is somewhat obsolete and in need of severe modification. Despite the fact that Issa Lauda complies with all 4 qualifications we believe that it is time for modernization of criteria for statehood. The most unique among these criteria at the State of Issa Lauda is the defined territory. The territory of the State of Issa Lauda is formally located on planet Mars. Therefore it is also the first alleged extraterrestrial state. In order to comply with International law and with strong desire to establish a modern state, we have made this legal precedent.

Due to the fact that we defined the territorial position of Issa Lauda on another planet, we have to comply with Space law enforced by the United Nations and their members. In accordance to Space law we have strictly followed the regulations of  The Outer Space Treaty* (formally known as the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies) which is a fundamental source for Space law. The Outer Space Treaty directly regulates this rather specific field we are interested in, and is adopted by 103 States. Our Establisher obtained the land on planet Mars and proclaimed the sovereign state of Issa Lauda in that territory as an individual person. This does not interfere in any way with the regulations of The Outer Space Treaty, which is the only legal act that can interfere with our legal precedent. Yes, there were some legal ambitions to prevent similar procedures but there was never enough support from states around the word and thus these ambitions were not even remotely successful and especially not widely accepted as The Outer Space treaty is.

The citizens of the State of Issa Lauda will obtain citizenship which will bring them benefits despite living in other countries around the world. The state of Issa Lauda exists despite the fact that people can not live on other planets for now -- but this has no effect on functionality and activities of the State of Issa Lauda. Issa Lauda’s territory is currently uninhabitable but it fulfills all legal criteria for statehood, the establishment of which was our primary focus. The priorities of Issa Lauda are granting benefits and protecting rights of the citizens in any way regardless of their residence. This is why we can describe Issa Lauda’s citizenship as pure global citizenship.

Achievable with your help!

Citizens will be invited to annual conferences where we shall discuss future strategic development and create the future of the state together.

Based on facts we can declare that The state of Issa Lauda is legally established in accordance with International law and Space law and as such is legitimate.

The development of The State of Issa Lauda is divided into 3 stages.

The first stage is fundamental and its success will outline the guidelines for the future, which is why we decided to participate at the Indiegogo found raising campaign with it.

The first stage is all about creating the largest possible society which believes in this project and is interested in being part of a new generation of states and in fulfilling their ideas and aspirations for better life opportunities, better living and working conditions and a better future for themselves, their family, friends and the whole humanity. The larger the community of Issa Lauda grows and the more supporters it has, the sooner we can expect to realize the second and the third stage. A citizenship certificate and an ID card will be given to all new citizens.

Citizenship of Issa Lauda is meant to be a “secondary” citizenship along with your original citizenship(s). But there are no restrictions preventing that this could be your only citizenship. 

Our citizens also have a right to incorporate/establish a company registered in The state of Issa Lauda and to do business transactions on a global scale with ease and without having to spend a large amount of money on the incorporation/establishing of the company and on its operations. Issa Lauda acts protective and supportive towards new businesses especially, which is why we will offer internal tax and free legal counseling for all company owners. Of course, we will also take great care for information privacy regarding the company and their representative’s information.

The state of Issa Lauda is fully respecting all human rights in accordance to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Article 12 of Universal Declaration of Human Rights:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

Fully embracing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and its Article 12 and with respect to the Issa Lauda’s citizens and companies registered, The state of Issa Lauda will never and under no condition publicly reveal personal or other delicate information. All information of such importance will be kept as top-secret information and will safely secured for eternity.

Issa Lauda is bound by its own “Rule of 1%”. This rule regulates the taxation of the state, or should we rather call it, contribution instead of tax, since it is actually so minor and meant strictly for development of the state. The only contribution of Issa Lauda, or tax as we know it in other states, is contribution on income of 1%. There are no other contributions, taxes, fees or anything similar in Issa Lauda. 

At the end of the first stage we will prepare everything for a fully operational Direct bank. This is an online bank without any branch network that offers its services remotely via online banking, telephone banking, emails and mobile applications. Establishing Issa Lauda’s Direct bank will not only mark the beginning of the second stage but will also offer all our citizens and all companies registered in Issa Lauda to use its own banking system with the lowest possible expenses and it will cease the dependence on other banking systems, banks and their strict regulations.

The Bank should serve as a mean for improvement of ones business and ones life. The Bank’s services and products have to be available to every citizen, not just to a select few. The Bank and its branches should charge for their operation only as little as they need to guarantee security to their clients – nothing more.

The second stage also represents the establishment of the official headquarters in one of the largest cities in the world and the first embassy of many to come. As a result, Issa Lauda will become more accessible in physical form to citizens around the world. The end of the second stage will mark the start of gradual establisment of the social and health security systems, as well as of the educational system.

Creation of the social and health security system and the educational system will hence mark the third stage of development. These systems will be secured with several protocols and developed as a form of additional security and as an opportunity for citizens to harvest the fruits of the State that has only one purpose – to serve the citizens! They will be formed accordingly to principles of good practice from other systems without the negative consequences and will offer secondary financial support or financing for our citizens. All these systems will be developed in detail with experts and with involvement and co-operation of our citizens themselves. 

The only value the State of Issa Lauda will insist on is that it has to be made in a way that citizens benefit from it and not just the state, meaning that the need of The State are secondary to the needs  of its' citizens.

First conventional Issa Lauda bank will also be established at third stage with branches all over the world.

The aforementioned plans are merely guidelines for the future of the Issa Lauda state. There are no limits regarding the development of the state and

citizens will be encouraged to participate in the evolution of the state itself and form an active society embracing such limitless posibilities in a positive manner.

One of the most important values Issa Lauda is going to protect and maintain is the participation of its citizens in the development of the state. The state is obliged to serve the citizens and not the other way around! This is one of the reasons why Issa Lauda will have annual conferences to which all citizens will be invited to participate in personally or through videoconference and where all future major decisions and guidelines will be discussed and determined. Citizens will also have an opportunity to express their thoughts, ideas, wishes or critics through a web page form, to which they will receive a swift reply. Citizens should co-create the present and the future of the state.
