History
The Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs (DARIS) was founded on September 8th, 2005, and claimed the Shearbank suburb. We immediately issued a Declaration of Independence (see below), including a group objective to kill all survivors in Shearbank who did not belong to DARIS.
The Shearbank Liberation Army was formed to oppose DARIS, and in return was labelled a Class Z Threat (Reasons: Threatening to kill/killing DARIS members, spraypainting over warnings in Shearbank, etc). The CoL also became embroiled in an ongoing conflict with DARIS but managed to avoid open war. Some controversy exists over the issue of covert actions that the CoL or its members may have participated in.
Starting approximately September 21, DARIS was driven out of Shearbank by a large horde of zombies. This horde included the Undying Scourge, whose leader, Sniperwulf, believed the members of DARIS were responsible for obscene spamming in the old Urban Dead forum that lead to its closing by Pro-boards. After finding out that DARIS had nothing to do with it, Sniperwulf apoligized for the accusations and attack. This coincided with ongoing human attacks by rival groups such as the SLA, though the importance of the human involvement is debatable. DARIS is generally considered to have dissolved after this event took place.
Despite this perception, however, DARIS lives on today in the form of the Exclave, working to bring peace and prosperity to Shearbank, and restore the will of the populat over its rightful territory.
Declaration Of Independence (No longer in Force)
- This is the origional constitution by which DARIS used to abide. Since the Great Exodus, however, we have changed our constitution, as can be seen bellow.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of incompetence and secrecty, seeks to destroy the life and livelihood to which is their right, then it is their duty to throw off such Government, and provide a new guardian for future safety.
Such is the dilemma of these free peoples, to withstand and rise above such petty control, and it is this dilemma that leads them to dissolution. Therefore, I, the appointed Voice of the people do solemny declare that we Free People of Shearbank shall no longer bow to the tyranny of an empowered military state. To that end the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs does claim the homes of its citizens, consisting of the suburb of Shearbank, as its territory, for now and for ever.

Constitution of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs
The new constitution, which is presently the one in force, was created as an alternative to amending the old declaration, allowing the origional document to remain unaltered and preserved while a new document could take its place as the core binding document of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of man and zombiekind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men and zombies are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men and Zombiekind, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Such is the dilemma of these free peoples, to withstand and rise above such petty control, and it is this dilemma that leads them to dissolution. Therefore, I, President Jacen Brazeau, the leader of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs (DARIS) and of its Exclave, as well, as a result of this, the appointed Voice of the people, do solemnly declare that we, the Free People (Human and Zombie) of Shearbank shall no longer bow to the tyranny of an empowered military state and shall no longer allow the existence of Apartheid and Xenophobia to exist under our government in our nation. To that end the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs does claim the homes of its citizens, consisting of the suburb of Shearbank, as its territory, for now and for ever.
Article the First
That the Suburb of Shearbank is Sovereign Territory of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs, subject to the law of said nation and only to the law of said nation.
Article the Second
That all laws and jurisprudence of other states shall not apply within the bounds of Shearbank.
Article the Fifth
That nationals of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs have the full protection of their nation behind them. Should any armed force of another nation or civilians thereof commit acts of violence on any member of the Populat, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of territorial boundaries.
Article the Sixth
That criminal punishment and jurisprudence of the Populat shall be administered by the Populat and its leader, and only by the Populat and its leader.
Article the Seventh
That in view of the risks existent in society, the right of members of the Populat to bear arms shall not be infringed, nor shall the right of free scientific development be restricted.
Article the Eighth
That the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs shall now have a standing army, to ensure protection and stability in Shearbank, and to ensure lasting order and peace.
Article the Ninth
That the previous Xenophobia of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs' previous administration engaged in will not only be removed from the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs' policy, but also rendered completely and utterly illegal, banned in perpetuity from ever being practiced again
Article the Tenth
That the previous Apartheid which has existed under all administrative bodies of Shearbank is condemned here officially and that efforts to reverse it and eventually achieve peace, stability and balance between Human and Zombiekind alike are to be strived for.
Article the Eleventh
That information relating to the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs shall be posted in easily accessible locations in order to allow for foreigners and residents of Shearbank unaware of their government to be edified and educated about it, to allow all a chance to be constructive and upstanding citizens.
Article the Twelfth
That the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs officially claims all surounding territories as a part of Greater Shearbank, though the exact extent of claim enforcement and the legal status of each of the 8 surrounding suburbs within the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs shall vary at the will of the President and Populat.
In summation and effectively immediately and henceforth in perpetuity, all are welcome in Shearbank so long as they abide by the the laws of the Democratic Armed Republic of Independent Suburbs.
