The right to a record
Everything you contribute is written down, attributed, and cannot be silently deleted.
Citizenship is a position, not an account
You are not signing up to a service. You are taking a permanent, numbered place in a public record — with rights that are written down and duties that are stated in advance.
Citizenship opens at Milestone 1. The founding register is open now.
Six rights, published first
These exist before the first citizen does, so no one can claim they were invented afterwards to suit the outcome.
The right to pseudonymity
You may hold citizenship without ever disclosing a legal identity.
The right to exit
You can export your record and leave, and nothing here holds it hostage.
The right to read the rules
Every rule that governs you is published before it applies to you.
The right to be wrong in public
Failed undertakings are recorded, not punished. Standing measures reliability, not perfection.
The right to propose
Any citizen may propose a change to any published thing, at any level of the civilization.
Four duties, equally binding
A civilization that only lists rights is a marketing page. These are the obligations that make the rights mean anything.
Finish what you accept
An abandoned undertaking is recorded. It is survivable, and it is visible.
Verify honestly
False verification revokes the standing that allowed you to verify.
Argue in the open
Disagreement belongs on the record, attached to your number.
Do not buy what must be earned
Attempting to purchase standing or a title is the one act that ends citizenship.
