Upon becoming a Citizen, a Resident is required to maintain continuous residency and World Assembly status with the Citizen nation they stated their application (“recorded Citizen nation”).
In the event a Citizen wishes to change what nation the Office has noted as their recorded Citizen nation, they shall request the Office, within the designated Thread, to change one of their recorded nations to a new nation they own. A telegram from the new nation shall be sent to a Citizenship Official.
