Background
The Sevetian People's Assembly was formed in early December 2018 with the goal of establishing a Sevetian state in Hinisne. 49 people from all over Sevetian-occupied territories gathered at Iroka around the 15th, and began working on the draft of the declaration. The final draft was finished in the morning of the 19th. The following day, the draft was approved by vote of the members of the People's Assembly.
Declaration ceremony
The declaration ceremony was held at the Okadara, where the People's Assembly drafted the text and had their meetings. It began at 12:00. The Declaration was read by Darpagor Neineda, then signed by him and the other 48 members of the People's Assembly.

Text
The translation was made by members of the Sevetian People's Assembly.
"The Sevetian People, having settled the lands of Sevetia, having become a nation, and having recognised itself as a new nation in the world, declares its decision of exercising its right to take the reins of its own fate, to govern itself in accordance with its own values and customs, for eternity, in peace and harmony with all the nations in the world that respect its right to exist.
It is the noble reason why, attending to the Sevetian People's necessity of a State of its own, where it can exist, prosper, and contribute to the well-being of the planet and the rest of the peoples living in it, we, the Sevetian People's Assembly, acting in genuine and legitimate representation of the Sevetian People, declare the establishment of a sovereign, independent state in Sevetia, to be known as the "State of Sevetia".
The State of Sevetia will be ruled in accordance with the cultural and historical principles of the Sevetian People, and in accordance with the best human values, and will always guarantee liberty and justice for the Sevetian People and for those who desire to be admitted in the State of Sevetia.
We declare that, until the authorities of the State of Sevetia are elected, the Sevetian People's Assembly shall act as the Provisional Government of the State of Sevetia.
We claim as territory of the State of Sevetia the whole of Hinisne as well as the islands closest to its shores.
We salute all the other nations of the world, hoping that they respond to our desire of achieving peaceful coexistence and mutual understading.
We affix our signatures to this declaration in this special session of the Sevetian People's Assembly, on the soil of the homeland, in the city of Iroka, the twenty-first day of December, 2018."
