Apply for citizenship here. There are three steps:
1) Make sure your nation is in The East Pacific. If not, move it there. 2) Read the Concordat, our constitution. It is located below. 3) Post here saying you ratify the Concordat: "I, <your nation>, hereby ratify the Concordat of The East Pacific."
- The Concordat of The East Pacific
-
Preamble: We, the assembled nations of the East Pacific, desiring a more prosperous and perfect region, do hereby gather to establish this Concordat of the East Pacific.
Article A: Executive

Section 2) Citizens wishing to become Magisters must follow the method prescribed in the standing orders of the Magisterium. [2013 Am 2]
Section 3) Magisters will elect among themselves a Provost every three months, outlined in the Standing Orders. This process is to be orchestrated by the previous provost or a representative thereof.

Section 4) A Magister may be removed by the Magisterium by any method outlined in the Standing Orders of the Magisterium. [2013 Am 1, §3]

Section 11) In the court proceedings of the Conclave concerning final decisions, the total number of votes cast may not exceed 3.

Section 8) Each nation that is a citizen shall be free to serve in any office in the East Pacific but no nation shall be granted a title of nobility by the government of the East Pacific and no citizen shall accept a title of nobility from a foreign government.
Section 9) All rights not in this Concordat described or reserved to the government shall remain in the hands of the individual nations.

It will soon be against the law to have a "The East Pacific" channel, if the Jurisdiction Act passes.

I received a system message about my citizenship - but my nation has not CTE'd and has not left the region.
I assume that was a mistake? Or am I required to post the oath again.

As King of McMasterdonia, I hereby ratify the concordant of The East Pacific.
How I managed to quote that when I don't have access to quote a locked thread I'll leave clever people to wonder 
edit: the point I was making was, the ratification ought to still stand and not need retaking. It is up to the viceroy, conclave, or citicomm though.

All noted.
Because we are currently electing a delegate, citizenship applications have been halted. After the election, we will process your application and you will become citizens. In the meantime, please enjoy your new region and its forum.
If you have any questions or need help, just send me a private message

As Old Fed previously stated, we're not ignoring you guys - it's just that we suspend new citizenship accounts during an election season. This round of elections will end on Friday, so things should be up and running shortly!
