National governments

Decision-use posture

For National governments, the public purpose is Seek lawful, documented, non-coercive engagement on technical, commercial, research, safety, and public-interest questions. The evidence threshold is Official legislation, competent-authority records, signed instruments, and verified public statements. Potential reciprocal value includes lawful cooperation; jurisdictional clarity; reciprocal notice. None of those benefits is treated as consent, recognition, representation, authority, or obligation without competent evidence.

The relationship must not be used for inventing bilateral recognition; evading domestic law; treating commercial access as sovereignty. The governing non-domination rule is explicit: No essential dependency, hidden leverage, retaliation for exit, or manufactured inability to substitute. Any disagreement about this public record remains correctable through /state/information-rights/corrections/.
