¶ ✦ Citizenship Statuses
The Grand Dominion of Bauralis recognizes several forms of citizenship, all granted exclusively by Chancellor Léon I.
¶ ✦ Official Citizenships
¶ ✦ Citizen
Fundamental status.
Recognizes the individual as an official member of the Grand Dominion.
The citizen may receive symbolic documents (nominative decree, honorary mention, letter of recognition)
and is invited once a year to the Grand Citizen Council, a collective reflection body with a consultative role.
¶ ✦ Winter Ambassador (exceptional status)
May be granted to someone representing the Dominion in a cultural, scientific, or intellectual context.
This is a protocol-only status, with no administrative authority.
¶ ✦ Passing Guest (temporary or honorary status)
Granted to a visitor, observer, or supporter of the Chancellor.
It entails no permanent rights and may be revoked without justification.
¶ ✦ Companion of the Dominion (honorary title)
A rare title awarded for intellectual or memorial contribution to Bauralian thought.
- May be posthumous
- May be combined with another title
¶ ✦ Access to Citizenship
Bauralian citizenship can only be obtained by direct invitation from the Chancellor.
No application, request, petition, or recommendation will be considered.
This process, unilateral, confidential, and selective, serves to:
- preserve the ideological coherence of the State
- limit external interactions
- safeguard the structural integrity of the Dominion
¶ ✦ Conditions for Attribution
The Chancellor acts at his sole discretion.
The criteria for attribution are neither public nor negotiable.
Possible motivations include:
- affinity with the principles of the Bauralis Codex
- recognition of a coherent personal posture
Bauralian citizenship may only be held alongside one other national or symbolic citizenship.
Beyond this limit, it is considered incompatible with the level of commitment expected toward the Dominion.
¶ ✦ Duties and Obligations
Citizens have no active duties.
No tax, service, or oath is required.
However, they are expected to:
- respect the nature of their status
- not use their citizenship for political, commercial, or media purposes
- participate seriously in the Grand Citizen Council when invited
¶ ✦ Revocation
Citizenship may be revoked at any time by decree, without justification.
It then becomes immediately null and void.
¶ ✦ Citizen Registry
The Registry of Glacial Citizens is maintained in the Archives.
It is not public.
Any name-based mention requires written authorization from the Chancellor.
¶ ✦ Parallel Contributions
Some external organizations carry out actions compatible with the Dominion’s climate posture.
- 🌐 Ice Memory — Officially supported since 2024, dedicated to conserving ancient ice for scientific memory
- 🌐 Polar Bears International — Boreal research and climate awareness
Only the Ice Memory mission is the subject of a support decree[1].
