¶ ✦ Are You a Real Country?
The Grand Dominion of Bauralis is an unrecognized sovereign state, founded on climatic, territorial, and symbolic principles.
It has a stable government, occupied territories, a structured ideological framework, and an affirmed physical presence — notably in Saguenay (Quebec).
The Dominion does not demand international recognition, but would accept such recognition if offered,
as validation of an already existing order that is fully autonomous in its logic.
¶ ✦ Why a Codex Instead of a Constitution?
Because the Dominion is not based on a legal or institutional framework.
The Codex is a conceptual document, structuring the State through ideological, symbolic, and territorial logic.
It creates no individual rights, no electoral process, and no delegated power.
“The Codex draws a perimeter of coherence, not a space for debate.”
— Codex of Bauralis, Article 5
¶ ✦ Do You Claim Real Land?
Yes.
The Dominion claims several physical territories:
- In Antarctica (closed southern axis)
- In northern Quebec:
- the Valley of the Ghosts (open for observation)
- the Government Seat in Saguenay (integrated territory since 2021)
These claims:
- are not recognized by any state;
- are permitted under the Antarctic Treaty (1959),
which tolerates peaceful private initiatives; - constitute a conceptual, administrative, and climatic gesture.
¶ ✦ Who is Léon I?
Léon I is the founder and current Chancellor of the Grand Dominion.
He has held this position since 2012,
and is the author of the Bauralis Codex, which defines all principles of governance.
¶ ✦ Can I Become a Citizen?
Yes — but only through personal invitation by the Chancellor.
Bauralian citizenship is:
- not requestable;
- granted according to confidential criteria;
👉 See: Citizenship
¶ ✦ Do You Engage in Diplomacy?
Not actively.
The Grand Dominion maintains selective neutrality: it conducts no formal diplomatic relations, but may acknowledge conceptual affinities with entities sharing its principles.
Any interaction is exceptional, non-institutional, and symbolically motivated.
👉 See: Political Structure
¶ ✦ Is This a Joke? A Satire? Art?
No.
The Dominion is a serious conceptual system, founded on:
- climatic
- territorial
- philosophical principles
“What is stable does not speak often.”
— Codex of Bauralis, Fragment IV
¶ ✦ Can I Visit Your Territories?
¶ Antarctica: ❌ No
All Antarctic territories are protected by decree.
They are inviolable, even symbolically.
No activity, visit, or expedition is tolerated.
¶ Valley of the Ghosts (Quebec): ✅ Yes
This territory is accessible via the Monts-Valin National Park.
Winter observation, contemplation, and silent documentation are encouraged.
👉 See: Valley of the Ghosts
¶ ✦ What Is Your Climate Position?
The Dominion adopts a posture of passive preservation of cold:
- Ice melt is seen as a slow structural collapse;
- Direct action is not required, but aligned thinking is encouraged.
👉 See: Bauralis Codex
¶ ✦ Where Is Your Government Located?
The government is housed in an integrated structure located in Saguenay (Quebec),
recognized since 2021 as an official territory of the Grand Dominion.
Main functions:
- Preservation of the archives
- Issuance of decrees (fr)
- Observation of snow formations in the Valley of the Ghosts
- Convening the Grand Citizen Council, an annual body for reflective stability
👉 See: Chancellery
¶ ✦ How Can I Contact the Dominion?
Communications may be addressed to:
📮 [email protected]
No reply is guaranteed.
All correspondence must follow the logic of cold: restraint, measure, non-insistence.
¶ ✦ How Can I Participate Anyway?
Some external organizations pursue actions compatible with the Dominion’s climate posture.
- 🌐 Ice Memory — Officially supported since 2024, dedicated to conserving ancient ice for scientific memory
- 🌐 Polar Bears International — Boreal research and climate awareness
Only the Ice Memory mission — compatible with the Dominion’s ideological and climate goals — is subject to an official decree[1].
Other entities are mentioned for informational purposes only, with no institutional affiliation.
¶ ✦ Other Questions?
If a question arises frequently, it will be added here — with restraint.
“What is stable has no need to justify itself.”
