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 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:

I, the leader of The North Pacific nation of [INSERT YOUR TNP NATION], pledge loyalty to The North Pacific, obedience to her laws, and responsible action as a member of her society. I pledge to only register one nation to vote in The North Pacific. I pledge that no nation under my control will wage war against the North Pacific. I understand that if I break this oath I may permanently lose my voting privileges. In this manner, I petition the Speaker for citizenship in The North Pacific.

• When registering for Citizenship, one has to refer to their actual nation WITHOUT PREFIXES OF ANY SORT (i.e. the nation name you type in when logging on to NationStates).
• Basically, either:
  1. A link to your nation on NationStates (the 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.

5. Forum administration will have 14 days to evaluate citizenship applicants and verify that they are not using a proxy or evading a judicially-imposed penalty. The Vice Delegate will have 3 days to perform a security assessment of the applicant. All security assessments will be performed in consultation with the Security Council, and in accordance with all laws of The North Pacific.
6. The Speaker will reject applicants who fail an evaluation by either forum administration or the Vice Delegate.
7. If an applicant is rejected for failing an evaluation by the Vice Delegate, the Regional Assembly will immediately hold a majority vote on whether to uphold the rejection.
8. The Regional Assembly may overturn a previous decision to uphold the rejection of an applicant by majority vote.
9. The Speaker will accept all other applicants with valid applications.
10. The Speaker will process applications within 14 days. If an applicant has not been approved or rejected within that time, they will be automatically granted citizenship.
11. A citizen's vote will not be valid unless they maintain citizenship for the entire duration of the vote.
12. The Speaker will maintain a publicly viewable roster of citizens.
13. The Speaker will promptly remove any citizens whose removal is ordered by the Court, or whose nation in The North Pacific leaves or ceases to exist.
14. The Speaker's office will promptly remove any citizens who fail to post in The North Pacific forum for over 30 consecutive days.
15. Citizens that have submitted a notice of absence, in accordance with any regulations set by the Speaker, shall be exempt from the provisions of the above clause for the stated duration of their absence.
16. The number of votes required to achieve quorum for any legislative vote is equal to one third the number of those citizens who have voted in a legislative vote at least once in the last 20 consecutive days or have not missed more than three consecutive legislative votes, as determined by the time the votes closed. A legislative vote is a vote of the Regional Assembly to enact, amend or repeal laws.
