Statement of Sovereignity

Yata is a sovereign state and has been since 2022 Honmyo I. We are entitled to the rights of a sovereign State, which includes participating in all international organizations and maintaining normal diplomatic relations with all other sovereign states.

Article 1 of the 1933 Montevideo Convention on Rights and Duties of States defines a state as possessing a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to enter into relations with other states. We meet all these criteria. We have a sovereign government exercising effective jurisdiction over well-defined territories with permanent residents, and we are able to enter into diplomatic relations with other sovereign states. Article 3 of the same Montevideo Convention specifically says that "the political existence of the State is independent of recognition by other States."

We are a sovereign state and as such we are entitled to normal international standing and participation according to international law.


One of the greatest powers that a nation possesses is the right to exercise inherent sovereign authority over its members and territory.

The Government of the Empire of Yata pledges itself to the maintenance of our national sovereignty, and to the positive future path we have chosen as a nation. Furthermore, the Government pledges all of its resources to the betterment of the people and works tirelessly on their behalf.
