“The word sovereign derives from the Latin adverb super ("above") and the noun regnum (rulership; control). Thus, "sovereign" means "one who is above the rulership or control of another" — i.e. someone who is not a subject or a slave. One is either sovereign or governed:”
The word sovereignty implies self-governance. A sovereign does not have a government external to himself. Meaning that we shouldn't care about who's in what office or not in what office, or whether it's a de jure government, or a de facto government — they're all irrelevant because sovereign people are 100% responsible for their own existence — and I'm not saying they don't work together, I'm saying that they are whole people that have taken the burden of their existence off the rest of the planet. That's sovereignty.
