Montecaran citizenship is the status of being a citizen of Montecara. It can be obtained by either birth or naturalization. It is based on the following principles:

Acquisition of citizenship

By birth

Anyone who is born to a parent who is a Montecaran citizen is a Montecaran citizen by right. This is considered prima facie if the child is the offspring either of a married couple where at least one parent is Montecaran, or of a single Montecaran woman. In cases where Montecaran citizenship would issue through an unmarried Montecaran father, a paternity test is required. Foreign children adopted by Montecarans become citizens when the adoption is finalized. Foundlings in Montecaran territory are considered Montecaran citizens until a parent is discovered.

The birth or adoption must be registered with the Secretariat of Social Protection or, if abroad, a Montecaran consul.

By naturalization

Acquiring Montecaran citizenship is a lengthy and arduous process. Applicants generally must first acquire permanent resident status and live in Montecara for at least sixteen years while adhering to the terms of their residency agreement. (Time spent living in Montecara while a minor counts double.) Once these requirements are met, the commune must favorably approve the application, which is then placed on the ballot for approval by the entire citizenry in keeping with Montecara's constitution. If the vote is in favor, the aspiring citizen will attend a naturalization ceremony before the Colegio where he or she will take the Oath of Citizenship and receive a certificate of naturalization.

In order for an application to be successful, the permanent resident must:

  • Speak fluent Montecaran
  • Assimilate into Montecaran society and the local community
  • Obey Montecaran law
  • If under the age of 30, fulfill conscription requirements.

Because the conditions for naturalization are so difficult to meet, fewer than 50 new Montecaran citizens are naturalized in a typical year.

Loss of citizenship

Montecaran citizenship may be lost automatically by performing certain actions, including:

  • Intentionally acquiring the citizenship of another country
  • Becoming a member of a royal or noble house
  • Serving in the military of a foreign country
  • Serving in civil office in a foreign country
  • Being adopted by foreign parents

Montecarans may voluntarily renounce their citizenship only before a consul abroad, and any renunciation will be accepted only if another citizenship has been acquired in order to prevent statelessness.

Rights and duties of citizens

"Irregular work ... is a bad deal. It is an offense to work without authorization or to employ irregular workers."

Citizens of Montecara have the right to:

  • Membership in the Popular Assembly or Senate
  • Live and work indefinitely in Montecara
  • Obtain a Montecaran passport
  • Enter or leave Montecara at will

Citizens of Montecara have the duty to:

  • Serve in civil office or as a lay judge when called upon
  • Protect Montecara through military service when called upon
  • Obey Montecaran laws

Montecaran passport

The standard Montecaran passport has a burgundy cover with the name of the state and the national coat of arms.

Information on the data page includes the passport holder's photo, name and date of birth, nationality, and sex, and the passport's number, issuing authority, and dates of issuance and expiration. The passport holder's place of birth is also included; in most cases, this is the name of the relevant country (according to modern borders).

People born in Glacia have their place of birth listed as GLASIA. Those born in international waters or skies have their place of birth recorded as ALTA MARE ("high seas") or I ÇIELI ("the skies"), respectively.
