Document:Directive on Internal Affairs

1. Citizens

If any citizenship application is not acted on in seven days, it will be considered rejected.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs will maintain public records of citizens’ names, resident and World Assembly nations, but any citizen may request that their World Assembly nation be secret, in which case the citizen’s World Assembly nation will be kept private.
If any citizen’s resident or World Assembly nation ceases to exist, or their World Assembly nation leaves the World Assembly, they will be contacted promptly and asked to update their information. If they do not do so within one week, they will forfeit their citizenship.

Any organization may apply for a board in the Zocalo. If there are less than five boards, the organization will be given a board, else they will be given one only if they have more members than the smallest organization with a board, in which case that organization will lose its board.
Organizations without a board may create a thread in the Zocalo.
If any organization’s membership falls to zero, it will lose its board.

Any citizen may register a political party. Any registered party may remove themselves from the registry.
Parties will submit a name, color and ideology, and may update this information at any time.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs will maintain public records of registered parties’ submitted information, number of positions held in the Senate and Cabinet, and membership.
If any citizen is a member in multiple parties, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only recognize their membership in the party they joined earliest.
If any party’s membership falls to zero, that party will be removed from the registry.

The Minister of Internal Affairs will promptly post any new Founder Nation issues and reports of any actions taken on them on the Regional Forums.

Every Monday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will check the accuracy of all records, make updates and take any necessary actions.

Organizations and parties will determine their own rules for membership, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs will only recognize the membership of citizens.
