That means they have a dwelling and spend time in the Principality. This level of citizenship requires extensive background checks, court records checks, evaluations, simple lifestyle skillsets, and the person signs extensive waivers in order to live within the borders of the Principality of the Northern Forests. Currently the maximum number of resident citizenships is limited. The application is 11 pages long and must be filled out completely and accurately.
