This book seeks to toss out the preconditions for statehood and independence that were first promulgated by a group of monarchs and their representatives in Westphalia, Germany in 1848. These arcane 1848 rules for who and what constitutes a nation have influenced the League of Nations, the United Nations, and governments of colonial and post-colonial nations around the world. In this book a new lineup of nations are highlighted. For too long they have been repressed by the rules written in Westphalia and maintained by the powers in London, Paris, Moscow, Beijing, Delhi, and Washington, DC. As the title suggests, it is time for a parade of new sovereignties.
