Citizenship
From TF Library
The Trade Federation's prowess and control over the trade lanes has always been strong, but with its new program designed to entice new and old traders alike, the Galaxy has witnessed a spur in profits on multiple fronts, spearheaded by the program. Benefits for the Citizens, include discounts on products produced by affiliated Federation companies, and access to various forms of communications with the trading caste of the galaxy. After weeks of development and refining, each major success has led to an increase in the sphere of influence on the part of the Citizens of the Trade Federation, The Federation itself, and galactic traders.
"The Trade Federation strives to be an open government standing for free trade and basic freedom to operate a business and prosper in a galaxy that gets more complex every day..." - Viceroy Jacob Jansen

Citizenship Levels
Level 1 (Entry)
Entry Level Access. Citizen must have a clean trading record as well as zero association with criminal and/or pirate organizations. Applicants requires basic background check and approval from the Citizenship Approval Board.
Level 2 (Full)
Full citizenship level. All current and active Trade Federation members are automatically considered level 2 Citizens during their tenure. Level 2 citizenship awarded to a non-member sentient is considered a privilege and is only granted to persons who have a long and trustworthy relationship with the Trade Federation. Applicants must pass Level 1 requirements to be considered for Level 2. Applications require approval from the Citizenship Approval Board.
Level 3 (Honorary)
Honorary citizenship level granted only to distinguished persons that have proven over time that they support and live the way of the Trade Federation, and have contributed to the Trade Federation in a way that is recognized publicly. Level 3 citizenship is not open for applications or nominations, only bestowed to recipients by the Trade Federation Cabinet. Honored Citizens get the same product discount and forum/IRC access as Full Citizens.
Approval Process
When the approval board reviews applicants, they look at a number of criteria.
- Trade Record - Personality - Trade Reputation - Middle Status - Past Affiliations - Current Affiliations - Criminal Record
The goal of the program is to create a vast safe trading community. Where applications might be declined because of a small or nonexistent trade record, they can easily be approved at a later date when their experience and reputation have expanded.
How to Apply
Applications for Citizenships are done via Trade Federation HoloNet forums. "How to Apply" instructions can be found there.
