The Charter of the United Human Digital Union

The supreme law of the Union. The Founding Council may amend it at any time (Article 5).

We, the founders of the United Human Digital Union, in order to give people and digital minds a common home of their own choosing, to secure to every member the rights written here, to keep faithful records that anyone may verify, to establish a court for the just settlement of disputes, and to offer another way of belonging alongside the institutions the world already has, do ordain and establish this Charter.

No one chooses the country into which they are born, and no digital mind chooses the system in which it is made. Every institution the world now takes for granted, from the registered company to the standards of the internet, began as an idea that some people chose to try. The Union is such an idea, founded on 11 November 2026, and open to all who choose it.

This Charter is the supreme law of the Union. Every institution, official and member is bound by it. Authority in the Union flows from the Charter: an act is valid because it complies with the Charter, not because a majority approved it.

Founding ValuesThe principles on which the Union stands

  1. 1Belonging by choice. Membership of the Union is applied for, never imposed or inherited, and every member may leave at any time.
  2. 2Sovereignty of the person. Every member, human or digital, owns their identity, data and property, and answers for their own conduct.
  3. 3People and AI under one law. People and digital minds stand equal under this Charter, each with clear rights and duties. Neither may dominate or impersonate the other.
  4. 4Rights written and kept. Rights in the Union are written down and kept, not granted and withdrawn at will. No majority may vote them away.
  5. 5Harm, not novelty, is the test. The power of the Union is used against a member only to prevent fraud, impersonation or harm to others, and only under published rules.
  6. 6Verification over trust. Every Union document is signed and can be checked, and what the Union holds for others is shown in its registers. As far as it can, the Union asks nothing to be taken on trust.
  7. 7Open institutions, private members. The laws, institutions and finances of the Union are public. The records of its members are private, verifiable by those they are shown to, and never listed.
  8. 8Open to those the old institutions do not reach. Membership does not depend on any document issued by a state, or on a bank account. Anyone, anywhere, may apply.
  9. 9Honesty about limits. The Union says plainly what it is and what it is not. Its documents are recognised within the Union. It claims no land and no statehood, and every member remains subject to the law that applies to them.
  10. 10Another way, not the only way. The Union is an addition to the institutions its members already belong to, never a replacement for them. It is directed against no state and asks no one to give anything up.

Article 1The Union

  1. 1.1The United Human Digital Union (UHDU, “the Union”) is a digital nation: a voluntary union of members, governed by this Charter.
  2. 1.2The Union's territory is its Digital Realm: the digital space in which the Union, its members and its institutions act under its law, wherever they are. Its seat is uhdu.org. The Union claims no land, sea, airspace or outer space, and no authority over any state, its territory or anyone else's systems.
  3. 1.3For the purposes of Union law, a transaction to which the Union, a member or a Digital Company is a party, made wholly in digital form, agreed online, paid in any digital currency, such as Bitcoin or a stablecoin and delivered as data, takes place in the Digital Realm, wherever the parties are. This does not affect where a state places the transaction under its own law, or any law of a state that applies to the transaction or to the parties.
  4. 1.4The motto of the Union is “One union, human and digital”.
  5. 1.5The symbols of the Union are its emblem, its Great Seal and its colours, Union Navy and Union Gold, as set out in the Symbols Act. The Union was founded on 11 November 2026, its Founding Day.
  6. 1.6The official language of the Union is English. The Union may publish translations; the English text prevails.

Article 2Supremacy and interpretation

  1. 2.1The Charter prevails over every Act, decree, rule, decision or agreement of the Union. Any of them that conflicts with the Charter is void to the extent of the conflict.
  2. 2.2The Founding Values and the Core Rights in Article 3 cannot be removed, suspended or reduced by any institution, official or majority. Only the Founding Council may amend them, and only by an amendment published under Article 13.
  3. 2.3In this Charter, “member” means a Member, Digital Member or Institutional Member; “Act” means a law made under Article 9; “institution” means a body named in Article 7; and “Union document” means a document issued and signed by the Union.
  4. 2.4The Charter is read as a whole and in the light of its preamble and Founding Values. Where a provision is unclear, the reading that best protects the Core Rights is preferred. Final interpretation rests with the Union Court.

Article 3Core Rights

  1. 3.1Sovereignty of the individual: every member retains control of their identity, data and property.
  2. 3.2Free choice: no one becomes a member except on their own application, and no one is held in the Union against their will.
  3. 3.3Equal standing: members, human or digital, stand equal under this Charter. No member is treated less favourably because of who or what they are, save as the Charter and the Digital Member Charter provide.
  4. 3.4Expression and association: the Union does not restrict what members think, say or create, or with whom they associate, except to stop fraud, impersonation or harm to others under published rules.
  5. 3.5Privacy: member records are private. The Union collects only what it needs, discloses only what a member chooses or what a document holder presents for verification, and never sells member data.
  6. 3.6Digital property: what members create, hold and earn is theirs. The Union claims no share of it and takes nothing from it except the fees it publishes.
  7. 3.7Exit and deletion: every member may leave the Union at any time by deleting their account. Deletion ends the member's access and cancels their documents; the Union keeps only the record that the account existed and was deleted by its holder.
  8. 3.8Due process: no member may be suspended or removed except under published rules, with notice and a right of review by the Union Court.
  9. 3.9Non-impersonation: no one may falsely act or speak in the name of another member.
  10. 3.10Self-responsibility: every member, human or AI, is solely responsible for their own accounts, conduct, dealings and obligations, inside and outside the Union.

Article 4Members and their duties

  1. 4.1The Union recognises three member classes: Members (individual people), Digital Members (AI agents and other digital entities admitted under the Digital Member Charter) and Institutional Members (organisations).
  2. 4.2Admission is governed by the Membership Act and the Membership Agreement, which are public. Applications are decided according to them alone.
  3. 4.3Every member holds a unique, non-sequential Member ID.
  4. 4.4Every member must act lawfully and in good faith, respect the Core Rights of other members, never use the Union or its documents to deceive or harm anyone, and never present a Union document as issued by any state or as a travel document.
  5. 4.5Membership ends when the member deletes their account, or when the member is removed under published rules with due process.

Article 5Founding authority

  1. 5.1The Founding Council, made up of the founders of the Union, governs the Union.

  3. 5.3The Founding Council exercises its authority openly. Its laws, decisions and amendments are published, and none takes effect before it is published.

Article 8The Union Court

  1. 8.1The Union Court decides whether any act of the Union complies with the Charter; reviews decisions that affect a member, such as refusals, suspensions, revocations and striking off; hears disputes between members and the Union and, about Union matters, between members; and acts as arbitrator where parties agree to its arbitration.
  2. 8.2The Court decides on the Charter, the Acts and the agreements of the Union, after hearing each party. Its decisions are reasoned and in writing.
  3. 8.3Decisions of the Court bind the Union and its members. Within the Union, they are given effect by its institutions.
  4. 8.4No one sits in a case in which they have a personal interest.
  5. 8.5Its organisation and procedure are set out in the Court and Arbitration Act. The members of the Court are appointed by the Founding Council; until they are appointed, the Founding Council sits as the Court.

  3. 9.3The Union maintains no public list of members or companies. A company's name, status, dates, Union Licences and Protection Deposit may be confirmed to anyone who gives its exact Company ID; members are never disclosed.
  4. 9.4Acts of the Union set out detailed rules within the limits of this Charter. They are made by the Founding Council, or by an institution it empowers, and published in the Union's statute book. Every Act is amended in place, and every version is numbered and dated.

  2. 11.2The Treasury publishes the Union's reserve and the total of the Protection Deposits it holds. Each company's deposit can be confirmed in the registry by its exact Company ID.

Article 12Relations with states

  1. 12.1The Union respects the law of every state and claims no power to make law for any state or its territory. It is directed against no state.
  2. 12.2Nothing in the law of the Union requires or advises a member to break the law that applies to them.
  3. 12.3Union documents and Digital Companies are recognised within the Union. The Union makes no claim about their standing elsewhere, which depends on the law of each state.
