Recognition and Statehood

Formal recognition of Paulovia by foreign micronations is not a requirement to substantiate our sovereignty as an independent state. Conversely, foreign micronations need not seek recognition by Paulovia to confirm their own sovereignty. Statehood is de facto according to the theory of Declarative Statehood as defined by the articles of the Montivideo Convention (1933); the European Union (Badinter Committee, 1991); and the Foreign Ministry of the Swiss Confederation (2005). Under these articles Paulovia considers it unecessary to enter into recognition treaties with other states.
