Immigration and Naturalization Question

[Edgard]

To whom it may concern,

I have been giving some serious thought and consideration to joining Shireroth. However, I do understand that there is a policy of micronational citizenship limits. I have come here to inquire as to what is that limit. I currently have only two active micronational citizenships: one in Alexandria and one in Stormark. I may have other micronational citizenships, but I do not participate in any other micronation other than my work as Emperor of Alexandria and an occasional visit or two to Stormark. I would like to have a better explanation of the policy so I can be in compliance in the event that I decide to apply to join Shireroth.

Sincerely,
Edgard.

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

The policy is called the "Tri-Cit" law. It basically means that you are allowed to hold two citizenships except the Shirerithian one, that is, three in total. I, for instance, am though limited to one citizenship only, the Shirerithian one. Now, I've never resigned my Morovian citizenship, but since Morovia is dead that is kind of impossible. It looks to me from your description that you are in full compliance with Tri-Cit.

[Edgard]

Your Niftiness,

Thank you very much for the explanation. So the limit deals with active citizenships as opposed to just the general count of citizenships? I honestly do not recall or remember any other micronational citizenships, and to be honest, I only do work in Alexandria and occasionally Stormark. If so, I would like to apply as soon as possible.

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

I you don't remember any other citizenships, they don't count. So just fill out the application form and wait for a response.

How did you find us? LOL. I've been in the hobby for a while.
Why do you want to join us? I've always wanted to join Shireroth, but I never thought I would be a good fit for the community, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Preferred duchy of residence: I have no clue where to move.

Other: Thanks for making my day at the office a little bit more fun. Work is boring today.

Could my picture (see post above) count as a clue?

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

I recommend Kildare or Annexis, as those are the smallest houses in terms of population. But you have to apply to get in.

[Edgard]

I'll join Kildare then.

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Just for expedience, I stamp this application APPROVED.

[Edgard]

Would it be possible to get my user name changed to simply "Edgard"?

[Ari Rahikkala]

It happened!

[Edgard]

Thank you very much!

[Daniel Farewell]

Mr Portela,

May I also welcome you to the Shirerithian imperial republic! I am so happy to see a such great man among the citizenry of Shireroth!

- Daniel, Arbiter.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Whoa, Emperor Edgard in Shireroth. That's pretty cool.
You'll be a good fit in Kildare, Jonas likes pretending he's King Louis sometimes

Mr Portela,

- Daniel, Arbiter.

I'm incredibly humbled, thank you very much for the warm welcome. By the way, Mr. Portela is my dad... call me Ed, Eddy, or Edgard, I'd prefer that.

Whoa, Emperor Edgard in Shireroth. That's pretty cool.

Thanks for the welcome, Scott. Nice to talk to you! Hahaha, it definitely sounds like I'll be a good fit there. I'll bring in my weird schizophrenic blend of French and Spanish there to compliment Jonas' King Louis.

[Daniel Farewell]

Thanks, Ed. And you can call be Daniel! (although you may know me as RicLyon, but I try not to use my real name outside reallife stuff anymore) BTW, could I add you to my MSN?

I remember the days when you and I debated with the Gay Parallel Republic on MNO. Two things surprised me about that. First -- that I actually could debate in Spanish (I can't even conjugate verbs in other tenses than the present nowadays... forgotten so much) and second -- I was 14 or 15 at the time -- that you've kept Alexandria working since then (or Madland ).

It's been so long ago that we talked to each other. I remember the Arminian invasion of Alexandria just before Arminy got Shirerithian. I think we called Alexandria Alisaundre then. And I remember when we made peace and you got active in Cranda. I think you still hold that Crandish title of duke of Anglia I think.

Anyway, I'm so glad you're here. We definitely have to get drunk in Shirekeep's nightclubs together!

[Edgard]

Of course you can add me to MSN! I'm not on often, and if I am, I'm probably on my Crackberry... erm, Blackberry.

Wow, you're taking it back! Hahaha. Kickin' it old school, huh? I remember those days, haha. Good times. Actually, Duke of Anglien/Anglia is still totally part of my titulary in Alexandria, just look at the decrees and my sig, it's all there. I dream of regaining the original Anglien since it got ripped away from us during the Atkins reductions. Irredentism FTW.

Everyone... watch out for Dan and Ed when you go out to town tonight! Hahaha.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

I dream of regaining the original Anglien since it got ripped away from us during the Atkins reductions.

Oh no you don't! You tried taking that from me a while back and I ain't lettin' you take it from Gerek

[Edgard]

I don't know why I imagined you snapping in a Z formation along with the "Oh no you don't!".

MMM GURL YOU BEST BE CHANGIN' YO DAMN MIND *snaps in a Z formation*

[CJ Miller]

BTW, Lower Michigan is Eastern Time, while the U.P. is Central Time.

[Edgard]

Thanks for letting me know. I always get confused with Central Time being right next door... :-/

[Erik Mortis]

Welcome! House Mortis greets you.

[Edgard]

Thank you!

[Harald of Froyalan]

Welcome to Shireroth, Dear Brother Ed!!

[Shyriath]

MMM GURL YOU BEST BE CHANGIN' YO DAMN MIND *snaps in a Z formation*

You realize, of course, that those of us who hadn't been imagining Falkner doing that will now have your image firmly in mind instead. Welcome!

[Harvey Steffke]

Where are you from? Grand Rapids, Michigan.

My condolenses fellow Michigander, but at least you are a suitable distance from Detroit.

[Edgard]

Welcome to Shireroth, Dear Brother Ed!!

Haraldddd! *gives big hug* Thanks for the welcome, brotha'!

You realize, of course, that those of us who hadn't been imagining Falkner doing that will now have your image firmly in mind instead. Welcome!

Don't forget to throw in "Mmmmhmm"s whenever someone actually backs away from the snaps in a Z formation. "MMMHMMM DATS RIGHT, GURL. DATS WUT I THOUGHT!" :-p Thanks for the welcome, good sir.

My condolenses fellow Michigander, but at least you are a suitable distance from Detroit.

Ahhh, Detroit. The anal wart of Michigan. Or is that Flint? Anyways, I stay firmly on the west side of the state... if anyone picks to live in Michigan, I hope for their sake they live in the West and not the East...

Your ancient ally, Absentia, also exists in Shireroth.
