Montecara
In Montecara, citizens are considered part of the collective head of state. Oaths of office are thus not required, as by the logic of the Montecaran constitution they would merely be making promises to themselves. However, it is traditional for all appointed officials to sign the Scarlet Bull, which is a constitutional document which establishes the "eternal" status of Montecara as a republic and pledges officials to serve their fellow citizens. Signatures are held in books which are not physically part of the original Statute but which are kept nearby in the Palaço Pùblico.
Oath of Citizenship
Aspiring new citizens take the Oath of Citizenship as the last step in the naturalization process. The oath may also be taken as a solemn promise. The oath (or promise) is:
I swear (or solemnly promise) that, as a citizen of Montecara, I will for the rest of my life give her my sole allegiance, uphold her constitution as a republic, obey her laws, bear arms in her defense, serve her in civil office when called upon, and honor my fellow citizens. I renounce all other states and royal or noble houses to which I have previously been subject, and I take this oath (or solemn promise) truthfully and freely.
Namor

If one refuses to take the oath, one is prevented from becoming President-General and banned from taking any other public office for the remainder of one's life.
English: In the name of the revolution, I, (name), do solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution of the People's Republic, execute my duties as head of state, safeguard the revolution, serve the people and defend the dignity and sovereignty of the Namorese nation.
