The Murrawarri Republic is a micronation that declared its independence from Australia in 2013, claiming territory straddling the border of the states of New South Wales-Queensland within Australia. The territory is the traditional homeland of the Murrawarri people, an aboriginal nation, but the majority of the population is now non-indigenous Australians.〔 The government of Australia has not acknowledged the declaration of independence, and their independence has been wholly unrecognized. ==Declaration of the Continuance of the State of Murrawarri Nation== On 30 March 2013, the Murrawarri Republic released a declaration announcing its independence. The Peoples Council of the Murrawarri gave the Queen of England () (Elizabeth II), the Prime Minister of Australia (Julia Gillard), as well as the Premiers of Queensland (Campbell Newman) and New South Wales (Barry O'Farrell) 21 days to respond to the declaration.〔 The specific requests made to Queen Elizabeth II were: * Treaty documents between the Murrawarri Nation and the Crown of Great Britain outlining the conditions of such a treaty, * A Deed of Cession document that show the Murrawarri Nation has ceded Sovereignty, Dominion and Ultimate (Radical) to the Crown of Great Britain, or * Documents showing a declaration of war against the Murrawarri Nation and its people by the Crown of Great Britain. The deadline expired on 8 May 2013, with the Crown failing to give a response. The Council interpreted their failure to produce the requested documents to be affirmation by the Crown of "the Murrawarri Republic to be a continued Free and Independent State, in line with International law and covenants".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Murrawarri people: The Queen Recognises Murrawarri Republic )〕 On May 12, 2013, the Murrawarri people took their sovereignty campaign to the United Nations, asking that they be recognized as the world's newest country.〔 On 13 May 2013, the Murrawarri Republic established a Ministry of Defence.
