How to Apply for CitizenshipA guide by the Ministry of Domestic Affairs
Greetings, Comrade! Would you like to become more involved in The Communist Bloc? Would you like to hang out in the official Discord, vote on regional legislation, volunteer to help improve the Bloc, become a brave pilot in our regional military, or even run for office yourself? Then you need to become a citizen! This guide will help you become a fully-fledged citizen of The Communist Bloc!
Requirements
There are two requirements you must meet to gain citizenship:
- Having a nation located in The Communist Bloc
- Owning a World Assembly (WA) nation. The location of your WA nation does not matter.
To submit your citizenship application, you will need to create an account for our forums.
Creating a Forum Account
To create your forum account, follow these steps. The process will be demonstrated with screenshots.
1. Navigate to 
tcb.red and press the register button in the top right.
2. Fill out the registration form. It is highly recommended that you attach your account to an email you use specifically for NationStates purposes to ensure the privacy of your personal information.
3. You will see this message, which means a confirmation email has been sent to the email address you provided in step two. Open that email's inbox, find the confirmation email, and select the "Confirm your email" button. If you do not see a confirmation email, check your spam folder.
4. You will be redirected back to the forums, where you should see a confirmation message.
Congratulations, you've successfully created an account on our forums! If you experience any technical difficulties during the creation process, you can ask for help troubleshooting by joining our official Discord and pinging @Masking.
Submitting an Application
Now that you've created your forum account, it's time to submit your citizenship application! The process is very simple and will once again be demonstrated by screenshots.
1. Go to the Naturalisation Office subforum.
2. Click the button in the righthand corner which says "Post Thread.".
3. The page you will use to submit your citizenship application will appear. First, create your title in the "Citizenship Application: NAME" box. It should be in that format. Secondly, introduce yourself in the main text box below the title.
4. Answer each of the application questions. If you don't have an answer to a question or the question isn't applicable, answer it with "None"
5. Press the "Post Thread" button. You have now submitted your citizenship application!
It will likely take the Ministry of Domestic Affairs approximately 1 to 3 days to process your application. To prevent electoral fraud, applications are not processed during election periods, but will be checked once the election ends.
Once your application is approved, you're officially a citizen of The Communist Bloc!
What's next?
Now that you're a citizen of The Communist Bloc, we encourage you to explore the many opportunities available to citizens!
Join the regional Discord! Post the link to your approved citizenship application in the lobby channel and ping @Masking.
Inquire about volunteer opportunities in the Discord! Every volunteer helps the Bloc grow and improve.
Join the regional military, the People's Revolutionary Air Force, and help take down conservatives and fascists across NationStates!
Browse the forums for any legislation being debated or voted on!
If you haven't done so already, endorse our World Assembly Delegate Kethania and Vice World Assembly Delegates Shamian, Pajonia and The Workers Union of Habsburg-Lorraine.
