3. Applying for Citizenship
If you are ready to participate in the region more than just on the Regional Message Board, then it might be time for you to consider applying for citizenship.
Some good reasons for applying:
You can vote in forum-based elections to elect the Vaukeer (WA Delegate) and the High Council.
You can vote on laws and treaties, and propose them, in the Dragonhold Council.
You can participate in one of the Craft Holds as an apprentice, and then move up to Deputy-Master.
You can participate in the regional government, and/or stand for election for a position in it.
You can join in on forum-based activities, and have a good time posting and spamming on our forum - if all the above isn't appealing already.
What do I need to do to become a citizen?
The first thing you need is a nation in The Eternal Kingdom, which is the main requirement of Citizenship.
Once you have decided on a nation you would like to keep in The Eternal Kingdom, then you need to:
Make an account on the regional forum, which will ask you to supply an email address, account name, birth-date, and password in order to register.
Make a citizenship application, which will ask you to state the name of your nation in The Eternal Kingdom, and your past Nationstates history (if any) in the game.
What do I need to do to keep my citizenship?
Once you have citizenship it is pretty easy to keep, so long as you:
Keep a nation in Vaukath.
Tell us when the nation you have in Vaukath changes.
If you don't tell us, and your nation Ceases to Exist (CTE's) or you no longer have a nation in The Eternal Kingdom, then your citizenship will be removed until you reapply with a nation that resides in The Eternal Kingdom.
With our regional government there are opportunities to get involved in the politics of the region. The Eternal Kingdom has regional elections every four months for most political positions, and there are opportunities to become a member of a Craft Hold and serve The Eternal Kingdom that way. You can get hands on experience of how our government works, and maybe even run for political office yourself in the future. This section of the guide will give you a brief run down of what is on offer.
The Dragonhold Council of The Eternal Kingdom
[Get Citizenship - Become a Dragonrider]
This is the main legislative body of The Eternal Kingdom, where citizens and residents of The Eternal Kingdom propose and discuss legislation and issues of the realm. In order to vote on legislation or in regional elections however, you must become a Dragonrider and protect the land and sky of The Eternal Kingdom, from any coming darkness. It isn't hard to become a Dragonrider or Full Citizen, so you might want to give it a try, and become a full member of the community, though you are welcome to just stay a Resident and join in as an apprentice to a Craft Hold.
Craft Holds of The Eternal Kingdom
The following Craft Holds of The Eternal Kingdom are always open to new members, unlike the more exclusive Guardian or Technician's Guilds, that only need a small membership.
