Preamble:

Eyre Land Principality (also "ERL" or "ELP") was founded as the first modern Natural Law State. Nation states and city-states have existed in this form throughout human history. A Natural Law State is the most successful model for state organization for peoples existing in a fragile environment.

External Affairs Act

The External Relations Act places Eyre Land into the international order of trade, cultural, diplomatic and military order placed in effect, and modified by the United Nations since 1945.

• ERL wishes to pursue a strict policy of non-interference with the internal affairs of states that are directly on its international borders.
• ERL may interfere with the internal and external affairs of states far beyond its frontier - providing that there is a gap of at least 500 Km of international waters, providing a threat to security can be proven to exist between ERL and state in question.
• ERL may grant or withdraw diplomatic recognition from any external state (except on its immediate borders) as is deemed necessary by diplomatic protocol, however, before doing so it must take all measures to guarantee a peaceful relationship.
• ERL grants its citizens the right to exercise diplomatic status (to carry out the external affairs of ERL) where these rights are obtained from the chief administrator of ERL on a fee based scale; this scale may be waved in times of international diplomatic crisis so as to seek peace.
• However, this privilege of exercising diplomacy may not be passed on nor granted to any close relatives. This is necessary to maintain loyalty and continuity of the diplomatic corps.

Internal Affairs Act

The internal affairs act organizes the state internally, where no internal act must in any way change the external affairs of the state.

• ERL will issue currency for use of its citizens to use inside and outside of national borders.
• ERL will also provide basic telecommunications services to give its citizens access to the global communications infrastructure.
• ERL will not interfere in the transmissions of these communications, so as to comply UN directives on citizen privacy.
• ERL will pursue a state communications policy fully in line with ITU & IEEE standards and technical directives.

The Eyre Land Principality Administrator, in coordination with external trade representatives may suggest (and bring to fruition) any projects which may be of benefit to the Trade Office, providing these projects are fully approved by the Eyre Land Principality Administrator.
