Greetings from the Empire of Relannae.

Having recently arrived on this world, we have decided to take a few steps to try and assist the other nations of this world, as well as give our own people a chance to learn more about the various peoples of this world. We are now actively encourageing open immigration to our nation under the following conditions.

1. Any person requesting citizenship in our Empire must undergo a criminal background check. We will be looking at the entire criminal record of individuals who have them and making a judgement based on recent behavior as well as the individuals desire to start fresh. However, anyone with a record of Rape, Murder, Drug Dealing, Child Molestation or other crimes which fall under our classification of unforgiveable, will not be allowed to enter our nation.

2. Citizenship will be granted after a period of 1 year of residency. During that year, all immigrants will be required to attend classes to learn the history of our culture, as well as many technical things which he or she will need to know in order to safely live in our cities. (all classes will be taught using our direct cerebral induction system, also known as sleep teaching. and classtime will only be 2 hours per week.)

3. During the one year probationary resident period, all immigrants will be required to maintain a clean record of no serious civil or criminal infractions. In borderline cases, a tribunal will be held to review the individuals citizenship request.

4. While we do not expressly forbid all religions, we do maintain control on the more violent ones. Religious practices which include any of the following, will be strictly prohibited.

Violent behvior
Mental conditioning
Turnover of financial or other assets to the person in charge of a particular sect or group
Any practice or belief which could or would deny access of an individual or dependant to proper health care
Cruel or painful rituals or rites involving any person or dependant
Any practice involving harm of wildlife in any way,

Violations of any of the above, will result in the person in question being returned to his or her previous home country, or prosecution, depending on the specifics of the case and the seriousness of the infraction.

There are many benefits which we will offer to new immigrants at the time they have completed their 1 year residency and become full citizens. They include.

Land Deeds.

2 Acres for non-aricultural residences.
200 acres for new agricultural residences (farms) This is initial. Moe acerage will be assigned if the person is able to demonstrate the capability to handle and successfully manage a larger farm.
Commercial Storefront for non-residential businesses, size based on particulars of the business and requirements thereof.
Manufacturing facilities for industrial non residential use, size based on particulars of the business and requirements thereof.
Research Facilities for scientific residential or non residential use. Size based on nature of research and particular requirements as necessitated by equipment requirements.


Monetary Stipend

Residential Stipend of 120% of the cost of living in a given area as determined by the Ministry of housing.
Vusiness Stipend of 150% of the cost of operation including materials and salaries for employees as determined by the needs of the particular business or industry as defined by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Agricultural stipend of 135% of the cost of operation and 120% of the cost of living as determined by the ministries of Agriculture and Housing.
Research Stipend of 200% of the cost of research as determined by the Ministry of Science and 120% of the cost of living as determined by the ministry of Housing.


Other beneits include free education to any level desired by the citizen, free medical care including medical, emergency medical, dental, optical, mental health, and cosmetic procedures. No preapprovals will be necessary toobtain services. A one time grant of appropriate transportation will be made (vehicle). Free fire, police and medical monitoring protection. As well as the right of audience (a petitioner is automatically granted the right to directly petition the Emperor regarding any issue of a serious nature that he feels needs to be handled at that level. Specifics and restrictions on this are to be found in the new citizens handbook.) All citizens are also eligible to receive treatment with the AG3 class Anagathic drugs. The drugs extend the life of the citizen indefinitely and need only be given once. The drug also completely balances the metabolism, making obesity a thing of the past, and conferring a very high level of resistance to most diseases to the individual. It also grants the individual the ability to quickly recover from even the most serious injuries and diseases. In most cases, even complete limb or organ regeneration is normal after treatment.

Please note that all citizens must complete a four year mandatory term in the military within the first 30 years of citizenship. Specific assignments will be based on indivdual aptitude testing as well as the preference of the citizen whenever possible. Also note that during times of war, this term may be extended and not all career options may be available.

We are also looking for specific volunteers to assist in the operation of our fleet. Persons wishing to opt for space duty must demonstrate a lack of negative effects to a zero G environment.

We hope our generous incentives will attract people from all cultures, so that together, we may rebuild our Empire.

Please pardon any typos. This is a second language to me after all...
