Citizenship Applications

Lord Nwahs:

Welcome to The North Pacific. We highly recommend you apply for Citizenship. Citizens can:

• Vote in elections;
• Hold public office;
• Debate and vote on legislation;
• And much more.

Step 1: Meet the requirements
Citizenship does not require WA membership, but you must meet the following requirements:

• You must have a nation in The North Pacific;
• You must not have more than one account on this forum (Administrators may grant exemptions under special circumstances);
• You must have made your application from a residential IP address (see this FAQ about what constitutes a residential IP for more details);
• You must not use a proxy server;
• You must not pose a threat to regional security, as determined by the Vice Delegate.

Step 2: Take the oath
Fill in and post the following application:

You can view the criminal code you are promising to obey HERE.

• When registering for Citizenship, one has to refer to their actual nation nation (i.e. the nation name you type in when logging on to NationStates).
• Basically, either:
  1. A link to your nation on NationStates (the nation tag helps),
  2. Referring to your nation by its name without prefixes (for example, Olvern instead of The Republic of Olvern in the registration post),
  is NECESSARY for the Speaker's Office to process your application. Do not assume that the Speaker's Office is all-knowing.
• Please make sure your nation application is in English, the language used in this forums. Posting the oath in any other language will result in your application being rejected.

Step 3: Participate in the region
Most of the time, your application will be approved within a few days. When this happens, you will be placed in a usergroup that allows you to post in forums set aside for the Regional Assembly. You are allowed to vote in any voting thread that begins AFTER you are admitted. Please note that to stay a Citizen, you must post in the forum every so often and maintain a nation in The North Pacific. For more details on these citizenship requirements, ask the Speaker or consult the Legal Code (chapter 6).


Step 4: Update your citizenship record as necessary
You must post in this thread if:

• Your TNP Nation changes;
• You want to renounce Citizenship.

If you have any questions, ask the Speaker or their designated deputy. They will be more than happy to help you get started.

Enjoy your time in The North Pacific!

Try to keep all off-topic posts out of this topic. It will help streamline the process.

UPDATE (as of March 3, 2023):
Following the passing of the Self-Checkout Act, an applicant who has failed the admin check will now be subject to a Vice-Delegate re-evaluation test as long as the conditions below are met:

• Your citizenship application failed because you fail to pass the admin check;
• You do not have another forum account;
• You are not using a proxy to access the forums;
• You have a resident nation which is a member of the World Assembly

For reference, quoted below are the sections of the Legal Code relating to citizenship applications and when citizenship is lost.

Nisat:

After a coup of nisat and a attempted ethnic cleansing of all kalahons, kalahonia broke away from nisat in an ongoing civil war. Nisat then left the North Pacific to start the global military. President Nisat left the nation to join kalahonia and is now the president of kalahonia. President Nisat is requesting citizenship in TNP.

Please make my nation kalahonia the citizen of TNP instead of nisat.
