Question presented

In this case the Petitioner officially proclaimed his true nationality by repatriating back to his newly reestablished nation state. Provisions of the State Charter and Constitution of the Petitioner's nation state Government precludes the Commonwealth / State of Virginia and Stafford County entity from subjecting the Petitioner and his property to its taxation Statutes and ordinances. Due to the preclusions the Petitioner petitioned to have his property excluded from the tax roll of the Stafford County entity. The lower court asserted that it lacked jurisdiction to recognize the authority of the nation state. The questions presented focuses on whether the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia have the jurisdiction to recognize the authority of the Petitioner's nation state and whether the courts shall so that the Petitioner may enjoy the legal protections recognized and provided for under his nation state constitution that precludes the taxation of his property by the Stafford County entity. The questions presented are: Do the courts of the Commonwealth of Virginia have the jurisdiction to recognize the authority of the Petitioner's re-established nation state? Do the courts of Virginia have the obligation to recognize those Rights of the Petitioner that are recognized under the provisions of the Charter, Constitution and Laws of the Petitioner's nation State Government that stem from the recognized rights under the provisions of the Constitution, Laws and ratified Treaties of the United States?
