The
Sovereign
Booklet
A printed novelty document shaped by identity and movement, issued by the fictional Sovereign Republic of California. NOT VALID FOR TRAVEL.
A place does not require permission to exist. It only requires its people.
This booklet is a physical document built around a single idea: What if California operated as its own country?
Not as a statement, but as a possibility.
This project exists to explore what happens when a place begins to define itself, through symbols, through systems, through the objects that give structure to identity.
A document like this becomes one of the clearest expressions of that. It assigns belonging. It suggests movement. It becomes proof. By placing that form in your hands, the idea moves out of theory and into something you can experience. Something you can hold, recognize, and interpret for yourself.
Made to make you feel ‘What if?’
Made to make you feel like a Californian.
Produced using traditional print and saddle-sewn binding methods, it carries the weight and presence of something official, even if it is not. Each booklet is saddle stitched, like we're sewing ourselves into history.
This came from daydreaming about what it would be like. We crafted the details to be inclusive, thoughtful, and intentional. Every page, every word, every pixel. From our minds to your hands.
