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."
