Once you have composed this brief letter, email it to us at: kingdomofhanover@yahoo.com You will receive a response within a matter of days. Hanoverian citizenship is open to everyone. Applications may be declined if it is determined that an applicant has engaged in micronational crimes such as treason, vandalism or sabotage. The Kingdom of Hanover permits dual micronational citizenships (simulations are not included). Multiple citizenships are generally frowned upon. Citizens holding dual or multiple citizenships may be denied appointments to government posts involving national security. Hanover is not a simulation or a role-playing game and paper dolls (simulated citizens/dual message board logins) are strictly prohibited by law.

Becoming Involved: An involved citizen is a happy citizen! Upon your naturalization a number of splendid opportunities for involvement in the life of the nation will present themselves to you. Here are a few possibilities to consider:

Foreign flags parade through Bergen

Some are destined to govern...

Royals have all the fun

Ellicott Square: what's happening there today?

Minimal involvement: Bergen's partygoers

For regularly involved participants:
If you plan to be quite active in the Kingdom, you may want to consider applying for a position in government. Committed citizens are always in demand to ensure the efficient administration of the realm. As a fledgling nation, we are currently seeking dedicated and competent individuals to hold positions in the Royal Cabinet and the Supreme Court. Those with aspirations to elected office will certainly wish to run for a seat in Parliament. If the existing political parties do not appeal to you, the Constitution permits new parties to be created freely by Hanoverian subjects. For further information email us @ kingdomofhanover@yahoo.com

For moderately involved participants:
If you plan to be but moderately active in the Kingdom, boy do we have a job for you! The Royal House of Marchmain is rather sparse at present and is currently interviewing less-than-dedicated individuals to charm and delight the nation as members of the Hanoverian Royal Family. All the fun titles and perks with none of the pesky responsibilities of government! Your job as a royal is to have fun, entertain the nation and give the tabloids something to print.  If you're going to be around and you're genetically incapable of taking life seriously, give the palace a jingle. kingdomofhanover@yahoo.com

For minimally involved participants:
If you don't plan to be very active in the public life of the nation at all, may we suggest a part-time job as a steward at Marchmain Palace? Our more leisurely citizens will surely  want to frequent the Hangover or Common Grounds forums of our message board. Dazzle the neo-beat crowd at Common Grounds with your poetry or your plan for peace in the Middle East. Maybe you're just a Joe-six-pack for whom life is a cold beer and a lit cigarette? HaNgOvEr is callin' ya, buddy . Give us the keys...we'll call you a cab when the lights go on.
