Hello TNPers!

Are you interested in running for public office, writing legislation, or voting in future elections? Then you should apply for citizenship!

We also offer alternative to being a citizen! You can always get a resident masking on the forum and participate in other regional affairs that the North Pacific offers.

"

TL;DR: Get involved in our government by applying for LinkCitizenship!

Why should I become a Citizen?

By becoming a Citizen, you open yourself up to a number of new opportunities. Citizens of The North Pacific are able to vote in elections, hold public office, debate and vote on legislature, and more!

What is the difference between a Citizen and a Resident?

Any nation that resides in The North Pacific is considered a Resident. Residents can still get involved on the forum and in some parts of the government (mainly the the Executive Staff and North Pacific Army), but they cannot participate in the legislative process or elections.

Citizens are essentially Residents that have successfully passed the Citizenship application process. This allows them to participate in the Regional Assembly and in public office.

Who is eligible to become a Citizen?

In order to apply for LinkCitizenship, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You must have a nation in The North Pacific.

  • You must not have more than one account on the Linkregional 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.

How do I apply?

To apply, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create an account on our regional forum.

Step 2: Go to the LinkCitizenship Application thread.

Step 3: Post the following oath in the application thread:

Nation: [INSERT YOUR TNP NATION]

I 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.

Step 4: Check back periodically on the status of your application. (Note: The application process requires 3 separate checks and can take up to 2 weeks. Please be patient.)

Step 5: Once you are granted citizenship, go participate in our government!

What do I do if my application was rejected?

Your application can be rejected for a variety of reasons, most of which are easy to fix. You can be rejected if you spelt your nation name wrong or posted the wrong oath. You will be given the reason and instructions on how to re-apply correctly.

The most common reason to get your application rejected is by failing the forum administrator's check. You will fail the check if you are using a proxy (such as VPN networks) - in which case you'll have to turn it off and re-apply - or if you share a network with another forum account. In this case, you will be contacted about it by forum administrators, who will try to help you resolve the issue.

The most likely reason to fail the forum administrator's check is because you have a non-residential IP address (a residential IP address is mostly likely a home network; examples of non-residential IP addresses include mobile data and school or business networks). If you applied on a non-residential network, try re-applying on a residential one. If you don't have access to a residential network, you can appeal to the Regional Assembly to have your rejection overturned and become a citizen. To be eligible to appeal, you must:

  • Do it within one week of being rejected

  • Not be using a proxy (such as VPN networks)

  • Not be linked to another forum account (you would be contacted about it by forum administrators if your account is linked to another one)

  • Have your nation in the World Assembly (learn more about joining the World Assembly)

  • Not have your rejection previously upheld by the Regional Assembly

To appeal your rejection, go to Linkthis thread and follow the instructions given. You will be expected to answer some questions from citizens, who will then vote on your rejection. The process may take a few weeks in total.

If you're unsuccessful, it's not the end! Most ways to get involved in the region don't require citizenship. You can go back to The North Pacific Handbook to read about all the ways to get involved.

What if I have questions along the way?

You can contact Speaker of the Regional Assembly Marlducro or any of their deputies if you have questions.
