Assembled in the First Confederate Congress, 2255 Current Era:

The Great Space Age, made possible by the workers and scientists of both the Soviet Union and the United States and the Peoples Republic, and all humanity, under the leadership of the United Earth headed by Sebastian Myrcenae McRae, overthrew capitalist and landowner rule, broke the fetters of oppression, established the dictatorship of the proletariat, and created the spacer society, a new type of society that shall be the basic instrument for defending the gains of the scientific revolution and for building a multi planetary species. Humanity thereby begins the epoch-making turn from groundfaring life to space faring.

After having achieved victory in the Great Revolutionary War and achieving man's domain on the moon the Soviet, American, and People's governments carried through far-reaching social and economic transformations, and put an end once and for all to exploitation of man by man, antagonisms between classes, and strive between nationalities.

Now, at this present time in history, a new age is upon spacers; an age of self-sovereignty, general goodwill, and prosperity. The unification of the several spacer platforms and inhabited systems multiplied the forces and opportunities of spacers throughout Sol System in the building of a space faring society. Our social ownership of the means of production and genuine democracy for the working masses were established. For the first time in the history of mankind a purely spacer society is created.

The strength of spacer society was vividly demonstrated by the immortal feat of the spacer people and their courageous efforts in achieving their historic victory in the Space Age. This victory created new opportunities for growth of the forces of socialism, national liberation, democracy, and peace throughout the world.

Continuing their creative endeavors, the working people of this Confederacy have ensured rapid, all-round development of the platforms and steady improvement of the spacer system. They have consolidated the alliance of the working class, the engineers, and spacer intelligentsia, and friendship of the nations and nationalities of humanity. Socio-political and ideological unity of human society, in which the working class is the leading force, has been achieved. The aims of freedom from the bondage of corporate will now achieved, this Confederacy has been established freely!

The supreme goal of this Confederacy is the building of a society in which there will be both public and intelligent self-government. The main aims of this Confederacy are: to lay the material and technical foundation of human life in space, to perfect spacer social relations with Earth and other terrestrial planets, to protect the citizen of spacer society, to raise the people's living and cultural standards, to safeguard our mutual security, and to further the consolidation of peace and development of intrasolar co-operation.

THEREFORE, we spacers,
* guided by the ideas of international cooperation;
* relying on the great social, economic, and political gains of spacer life,
* striving for the further development of genuine liberty,
* taking into account the international position of the Confederacy as part of the Solar System of survival, and conscious of their internationalist responsibility

declare this CONFEDERACY OF FREE SYSTEMS.
