The Diaspora Expansion Charter
Blkworth begins in Black America and grows everywhere the diaspora lives. This Charter defines how a community becomes a city — written before the first deed, so every future city inherits the same standards as the first.
Article I
Becoming a city
What qualifies as a city?
A real diaspora community with living Black economic and cultural life — businesses to honor, history to carry, owners ready to build. A Blkworth city is platted finitely (like the founding 951), district by district, on the same registry, under the same Charter and Constitution.
Who can propose one?
Anyone — but proposals carried by Steward and Legacy Ambassadors of that territory, with demonstrated community standing, move first. The Corps exists to carry ownership into communities; proposing a city is its highest expression.
Who approves one?
The Registry. City approval is a registry decision made by people, on evidence, recorded permanently — never automatic, never purchased, and sponsors never select.
What evidence is required?
Community demand (waitlist and ambassador activity from the territory), cultural grounding (the corridors and history the districts would honor), economic readiness (businesses that would claim), and a steward bench — people of that community prepared to carry the Charter there.
What stewardship standards apply?
All of them. The Stewardship Charter, the Ownership Constitution, the recovery rules, and the audit doctrine apply identically in every city. A new city never means new shortcuts.
Article II
Ownership across cities
Can owners own in multiple cities?
Yes. Ownership is global — anyone, anywhere the diaspora lives, may own within any diaspora city. Each address is claimed under that city's plat and stewardship; your wallet becomes your global portfolio.
How does the Diaspora Passport work?
One identity across every city: your credentials, standing, and recognition carried together. It arrives as a Treasury service — and it is never required to own anywhere.
How does recognition transfer?
Designations of place stay with their place — a founding stamp in one city never mints founder status in another (each city has its own founding era, once). Designations of person — stewardship standing, honors, ambassador tier — travel with you everywhere.
How do Ambassador Territories interact?
Territories are the seedbeds of cities. A territory's standings — owners referred, revenue influenced — are the core evidence in its city proposal, and the territory's ambassadors carry first-mover recognition when their city opens.
Article III
The city launch process
Proposal
A documented case: community, corridors, demand, steward bench. Filed with the Registry through the territory's ambassadors or the Desk.
Review
People examine the evidence against this Charter's standards. The proposing community is heard. The review is recorded.
Approval
A registry decision, written to the permanent record. The city is platted — finitely, once — and its districts are named for what they honor.
Founder Period
The new city opens first to its founding class — stamped forever, never re-issued, never purchasable later. Territory ambassadors carry recognition for bringing the city to life.
Public Opening
Claims open to everyone, everywhere. Scarcity is structural from day one: what is claimed is no longer available to anyone else.
Registry Activation
Deeds, inventory, honors, the Index, and every audit ledger come live for the new city on the same registry that records this one. One registry, many cities, one standard.
