Citizenship and the Registry

Sets out who is a Citizen, how the Unregistered register, and what each is owed and owes, under Article X of the Foundation Charter. Issued to be read aloud at every Registry Office.

1. Citizens and the Unregistered

Neither Citizens nor the Unregistered are personnel. Both may enter the Entrance Zone of a site, the Application Centre and a Registry Office.

2. The Registry

1. The Registry is Civil Administration's record of every Citizen: name, a Citizen number (CIT-000000), residence zone, and date of registration.
2. A Citizen's Registry entry is visible to Civil Administration and to Security, and to nobody else without a reason recorded.
3. Registry Offices are found in each zone's administration building and at the gate of each site.

3. Registering

1. Any Unregistered person may register at a Registry Office. Registering is free and cannot be forced.
2. The clerk completes Form CV-01 with them: their name, where they came from, the zone they will live in, and a declaration that they will follow civil law.
3. The clerk enters them in the Registry, gives them a Citizen number and issues Card CV-02, the Citizen Identification Card. Citizens carry it and show it at checkpoints and Registry Offices.
4. A person carrying an anomalous effect is registered after the Medical Department clears them.
5. Registration is refused only to members of hostile organisations acting for them, and the refusal is recorded with its reason.

4. Rights of Citizens

Citizens are owed:

1. Protection from anomalies and from violence, by Security and the Mobile Task Forces.
2. Shelter, rations and medical care in their zone.
3. Notice of every Civil Order before it binds them.
4. A hearing before Civil Administration before any penalty under civil law.
5. The right to leave the Registry and become Unregistered at any time. A Citizen serving in the Class-D Programme who leaves before their service ends is a fugitive (Class-D Programme Handbook).

5. Duties of Citizens

Citizens owe the Foundation:

1. Obedience to civil law and to containment orders, which come first.
2. Reporting anything anomalous to the nearest Foundation post.
3. Work assigned by their zone, within what their health allows.
4. Truth to the Registry about who they are.

6. From Citizen to personnel

A Citizen who wants to serve applies at the Application Centre under Foundation Directive 004. Accepted applicants become Level 0 personnel and keep their Registry entry, marked as personnel.

7. Playing a Citizen or the Unregistered

1. Citizens and the Unregistered are playable without joining a faction. Everyone starts Unregistered and chooses whether to register, apply to the Foundation, or stay outside.
2. On Discord the Citizen and Unregistered roles mark which group a member's character belongs to.
3. Everything in this directive is roleplay. No real personal information is ever asked for or recorded; the Registry holds character details only.
