Peaceful. Evidential. Procedural.

The Sovereign Nation of Shetland (TSNS) is an evidence and research body. We do not deny institutions — we require lawful proof where authority is asserted.

Canonical surface: TSNS publications and evidential engagement are presented through the Foundation Corpus. Supporting PDFs are stored centrally in /2026/documents/. Shetland First is a separate civic/political initiative that may cite TSNS publications.

Important: TSNS does not encourage unlawful non-payment, evasion, obstruction, or disorder. We promote lawful challenge, procedural fairness, and evidence-based administration.

What TSNS asks

A narrow, lawful question: on what legal title is authority in Shetland said to rest? Where title is relied upon, it must be capable of production and examination.

What TSNS does

We compile and preserve a public evidential record, request primary documents through lawful procedure, and maintain a stable baseline (the Foundation Corpus) so claims can be checked against sources.

What TSNS is not

TSNS does not claim sovereignty, governmental authority, or de jure status. Political advocacy is outside TSNS scope and belongs (if anywhere) to external civic/political initiatives.
