Article 29 - Geography
It is the presence of some uniquely owned fictional system of measurement of distance, height, position and time, the physical process of survey and then reflection of such survey on maps that produces a Geography.
By ancient custom and tradition since the 1st Mlllenium BCE in accordance with Holly (Tará) Law, the physical process of survey required to derive a valid Geography requires the official visitation of a place by an agent or representative of a sovereign under seal, such that the act of visitation and definition of Geography is undertaken as if the sovereign did perform the act themselves.
By ancient custom and tradition since the 1st Mlllenium BCE in accordance with Holly (Tará) Law, the commencement of a Geographic survey by an official agent or representative of the Sovereign requires a “point of beginning”, usually a historic marker, flag or monument representing the first and primary claim of the Sovereign.Permanent markers, posts or monuments are then placed at certain distances and locations around the point of beginning to both validate the claim the land has been surveyed and to enable accurate measurement.
By ancient custom and tradition since the 1st Mlllenium BCE in accordance with Holly (Tará) Law, upon completion of the physical survey by an official agent or representative of the Sovereign there should exist a description in words of the geographic claim plus a map, including accurate measurements defined on the map.
A Geographic survey is not invalidated should the permanent markers, posts or monuments be destroyed. Only when a completely new geographic survey is undertaken with physical evidence of its occurrence, including new maps and descriptions may the original Geographic survey and claim be invalidated.
By ancient custom and tradition since the 1st Mlllenium BCE in accordance with Holly (Tará) Law, a Geographic survey must be undertaken by an agent or representative of the sovereign and new maps produced every seven (7) years to be a claim without legal or lawful challenge.
