We, the Free Independent Republic of English Kurdistan, herewith apply for full membership of the United Nations, with autonomous nation status.
We appeal to the United Nations and ask for our application to be debated by the General Assembly at the earliest possible opportunity; and for the United Nations to recognise the will of the inhabitants of English Kurdistan and our free decision for independence from England. We ask that our evident and expressed desire for self-determination as a tribe and as a people, be respected and that our existence as a nation state be officially recognised.
