Citizenship
Citizenship is a privilege, not a right, and thus you must actively
apply for it as well as continue to earn it throughout your life.
"Citizenship, or its retention, on other than a nominal basis, in some
cities, is contingent on such things as attending public ceremonies,
such as an official semi-annual taking of auspices, and participating
in numerous public assemblies, some of which are called on short
notice." (Dancer of Gor, p.302-303)
It is unlawful for any Man or Woman is a Citizen unless born with in the Shores
It is unlawful for any Man or Woman may have dual citizenship unless granted by the Head of Caste
It is unlawful for any Man or Woman may make action against the city it person nor its slaves
The nonperformance of the citizenship ceremony, within one year of
reaching your intellectual majority, is punishable by expulsion from
the city. This applies only to those individuals born within the city
or born to citizens of the city.
"The rationale seems to be that the
community has a right to expect allegiance from its members."
(Vagabonds of Gor, p.303)
A Free Man or Woman can renounce their existing citizenship and acquire citizenship
in another city. One must though, be accepted by this other city as
a citizen, meeting all prerequisites that are in place. Proof must be furnished.
Outlaws lose all connection to their Home Stone and Caste, a
terrible fate for a Gorean. They must live in the wilderness,
struggling to survive. Few Goreans envy the fate of an outlaw.
"A man who refused to practice his livelihood or strove to alter
status without the consent of the Council of High Castes was, by
definition, an outlaw and subject to impalement." (Tarnsman of Gor - p.46)
