Citizenship in the West

Citizenship is open to all resident WA nations of TWP and non-resident WA nations who contribute to the region's governance. Citizenship here is an expression of commitment to the West—it shows that you have chosen TWP as your community, and that TWP has chosen you.

Learn more about what Citizenship means in the Bond of Citizenship below:

Bond of Citizenship

The West Pacific welcomes to our shores all who wish to work for the betterment of our region. We are an ever-developing community and collaborative effort constantly striving for improvement. We work to make our home the best it can be. Nations who wish to be part of The West Pacific as Citizens must understand and respect the Bond of Citizenship:

We will protect you — We are all Westerners. We will not allow anyone to harass you and we will defend you and retaliate against those who wish you harm. We protect our own.

We will grant you access and meaning — The more you want to do, the more you can do with us. Prove your merit through your productive labour and you shall reap the fruits of your labour. Work hard and you will progress.

We will honour your experience and intellect — We all come from different ways of life. To function as a community we come together, share our ideas, and hash out differences on how to improve our region. Your perspective can make a difference.

You will be loyal — Those who seek personal power above all else will not survive here. You work for our collective community, you work for meritocracy, delegate supremacy, and that the West is Best. We’re all in this together.

You will engage — There is no merit in being silent. Put in as much effort as you can give, everyone has their own abilities and skills. Know however that those who do not put in the work cannot claim to be a Westerner.

You will not be a dick — We’re a family and a community in the West. Be neighbourly and kind to your regionmates. Failure to behave will result in removal from the community.

There are two forms of TWP Citizenship:

• Static Citizenship requires simply maintaining a WA nation in TWP that is endorsing the Delegate. There is no forum activity requirement.
• Dynamic Citizenship requires keeping engaged in a TWP Ministry, but does not require keeping a WA nation in TWP (you must, however, still keep a resident nation). If you become unengaged in your chosen Ministry, you may lose your Citizenship.

To move from Static to Dynamic Citizenship, join a Ministry by submitting a TWP General Government Job Application.

An up-to-date list of TWP Citizens can be found here.

Maintaining Citizenship

Citizenship is audited every 3 months in January, April, July, and October. In order to maintain your citizenship over each 3-month period, you must meet the requirements for your type of citizenship as outlined below. If you have lost Citizenship previously, you must re-claim it by following the same steps in this thread.

Static Citizenship
