welcome to our refuge
The State of Sandus is a micronation located in North America and Europe founded on a unique culture and philosophy centred on our associated community. As a micronation or community of citizens, we seek to alleviate the suffering of all, since we believe that for the people of Sandus hope divides suffering.
We hope that all people are liberated from suffering.

STATE OF SANDUS
Gaius Soergel Publicola
founder and leader
sôgmô@sandus.org
I am the Sôgmô of the State of Sandus, a small micronation with citizens scattered throughout North America and Europe. I lead our government with a cadre of volunteer officers and officials, as well as see to the cultural and social side of our micronation from my office at Senepyart Court in Anne Arbour.
As a lay householder and lifelong Buddhist, I founded Sandus on 26 May 2009 as a quirky outlet for my dharma and sincere views about the state of the world. Sandus has grown with its citizens, and today we are a small but dedicated community of citizens interested in the same things: peace, humanity, and bread.
Whether you see us as a satirical project or an ecclectic community, we welcome you to learn more about us here.

Citizenship & Adjacency
As a micronation, Sandus is a small, subcultural group of associated citizens joined together as an community and association. We run on the service and contributions of our citizens organised through the State of Sandus.
We have two legal statuses in our micronation: citizenship and adjacency. Citizens are members of our association according to three types: full citizenship, social citizenship (with social countries), and peregrine citizenship (limited citizenship). Adjacency is a legal status granted by the State of Sandus to relations of our citizens.
How to become a Citizen

• Attest to the Five Affirmations
1. that all people suffer in life
2. that workers should own the means of production
3. to the principles of the rights of a free, public life
4. that Sandum society ought to be free, liberal, and tolerant
5. to the republican constitution of the State of Sandus
• Confirm association with our community, either by a relation’s affidavit or by a submitted statement of interest in our country’s philosophy
• Pass a pro forma inspection of details to ensure that your application is complete and eligible
• Election in the Council of the State of Sandus
Once the State of Sandus confirms your affirmations and association, an officer of state presents your application to the people of our micronation.
