Frequently asked questions
(FAQ) about the Dominion of Melchizedek
The Dominion of Melchizedek
is an Ecclesiastical Sovereign Nation State, which lays claim to an ancient
tradition dating back to the Biblical Salem (modern Jerusalem) over which
Melchizedek was the sovereign.
The people of Melchizedek
desired independence so their leaders signed a formal Constitution on 7
July 1991, thereby forming a government of the people based upon ecclesiastical
and democratic principles.
On 26th November 1994, the
Dominion of Melchizedek acquired full ownership and sovereignty over the
Karitane Islands in the South Pacific and on the 5th of May 1999 acquired
sovereign rights over the Taongi Islands in the North Pacific from the
island’s Iroijlaplap. In the year 2000, Rotuma, which is north of
Fiji, signed a constitution, wherein Melchizedek was granted all of the
same rights and privileges enjoyed by the Vatican in Rome, and Melchizedek
acquired sovereign rights over Solkope, one of the 7 islands surrounding
Rotuma.
The formerly unclaimed 90-150
degrees West Antarctica was claimed by Melchizedek in 1990, and said claim
was published in The City Paper in Washington DC in 1991.
