NSK members congratulate a delegate at the closing ceremony, 23rd October 2010
On Saturday evening there was a tense, dramatic, fascinating and finally celebratory closing ceremony at which the delegates’ conclusions were announced. These are the main points. There is a supporting document and a third opposing document was also read. Following the debate delegates and facilitators were presented with a commemorative object and were congratulated by members of Laibach, IRWIN, Novi Kolektivizem and Noordung.

Active discussions continue amongst the delegates and individual responses will appear on times.nskstate.com. There were some really interesting ideas and discussions and as one delegate said for such a varied group of people to produce a defined result in three days was impressive. Many of the delegates were extremely conscientious, motivated and perceptive and it was a pleasure to meet them. The results are being assessed and we will comment in more detail shortly, for now here is the final statement agreed to by a majority of delegates:
FINDINGS
The NSK State is a universal state in time, not a state of territory.
Whether it remains in potential form or manifests itself in actual form depends on the actions and beliefs of those who are or wish to be its citizens.
The NSK State in Time is consistent with and evolves from the founding principles and strategies of Neue Slowenische Kunst.
The NSK State in Time becomes manifest when the following exist:I. The Immanent Consistent Spirit is the all-embracing intangible essence of the NSK State in Time. In it there is everything and even nothing. Citizens of the NSK State in Time express the Immanent Consistent Spirit through artistic, political, philosophical and intellectual actions in both abstract and concrete form.
II. The NSK State in Time is ever-inspired by the infinite moment of grace of its own becoming. It is the master of all its probabilities.
III. The NSK State is manifested in time yet at the same time transcends time.
IV. Manifestations of the NSK State are temporal; they are based on initiatives and actions of its citizens and affiliates.
V. The NSK State in Time materializes through artistic, political, philosophical and intellectual actions in accordance with the basic principles and internal laws of the NSK State in Time.
VI. The individual is irrelevant. Therefore the NSK State in Time compels its citizens to work as a collective body.
VII. The role of the citizens of the NSK State in Time is to fulfill the State’s goals with fanatical and artistic devotion.
VIII. The citizens’ commitment to the State machine that organizes their activities is unwavering.
IX. Freedom of choice creates trauma; lack of freedom of choice creates trauma. The NSK State acknowledges the right not to choose.

A wiki was set up earlier this week – there’s discussion and link to it on the Facebook discussion thread about the Dept of Perpetuity.

The dept. of perpetuity has one member so far (and it ain’t me!), so perhaps this is not what Lara meant by mentioning the third document? But maybe the following is a step in the right direction – though it does seem a shame that the document is first on a “foreign” site, and not on ours (maybe somebody is working on that?):

I’m personally responsible of this “leak”, since I’ve sent the three documents to HMRD Cesidio Tallini, who wrote this article.

what facebook discussion/wiki are you talking about guys? Can u pass any links please?
I tried entering “Citizens of The State of NSK”* group with my (diplomatic) passport number, but there is a police officer at the gate, not letting me in without sending him a photo and identifying myself with a full name…. now, that is a bit odd! lol – even Zuckerberg himself doesn’t mind my ‘ama nesciri’ state…
* is this the one, as there are many scams of NSK/Laibach wannabes on FB?
October 29th, 2010 on 7:36 pm
ok, it seems I’ll be given permission to enter… still damn spooky protocol, whoever invented it.

How can someone get NSKSTATE passport or the visa.
October 31st, 2010 on 5:44 am

October 31st, 2010 on 8:05 am

I have just withdrawn request to join a FB group of 25 citizens where u have to legitimate yourself with an ID to an “Golden Saxifrage” control officer…

Find-ings in FINDINGS
IX. last but not least _
Freedom of choice (including the freedom to not to) is traumatic in itself because it entails consciousness of the differentiation between choices.
BE-ING in concordance with such consciousness imminently experiences (mani_fest) a separation – inflicting struggle and pain.
Contrary to predominant arbitrary opinion the connotation of FREE WILL is in direct opposition to FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
An innate Free-Will-ness of the immanent consistent (all-embracing = Absolut) Spirit as the intangible essence itself ( NSK Citizenship) – is not and cannot be in any way related to a any finite space-time enclave of an arbitrary finite preferences or – nom de plume – …the world.
More to come…

Bertrand (and others) – since there is implicitly copyleft on all NSK projects (unless otherwise declared), there was no leak whatsoever, but merely a free dissemination of The Atomic Declaration of Dependence which, I hope, will appear on this site as well some day.

I agree that the rebel document should be published here! And I’m also in the dark as to what is our virtual meeting place!

Здравейте
Казвам се Самуил Попов от Бургас България
Отдавна съм почитател на Лайбах и НСК
Преди време се опитах да придобия НСК паспорт чрез електронното посолство в сайта ви но не успях
Все още имам желание да бъда гражданин на НСК но не виждам начин
Моля да ми изпратите информация как мога да придобия гражданство
Благодаря
Надявам се това да е началото на едно ново приятелство
Поздрави от България
