Union Three Class Society

The original Classless society of the Union created three classes of sentient beings with the ratification of the Union Citizen Act. Union Citizens Union Residents Non Citizens

Union Citizens this is the "highest" Class. All Union services are free. Citizen is fully protected under the law. Citizen only pays taxes through his purchases and services. there are no income taxes, property taxes or anything else. All products and services carry the same 8% sales and service tax.

Union Residents Sentient beings born within the space of the United Stars and are not citizen. Beings making the choice not to become citizens. Not complete School, Test or not serving 22 month. Must have registered address and HPI test as part of ID. Social services are basic. May obtain Social Security Insurance (about 1000 - 1200 Credits a year)Travel is not subsidized, but exemption vouchers may be obtained. Proto Citizens are technically Union Residents but enjoy all benefits a Union Citizen does (except voting) : Offspring of Union citizens that is not of age. Kids and students regardless of origin or age in school Union Residents may not be employed at federal businesses (temp work is permitted)or agencies.

Non Cits Sentient beings that reside within the Union and are: Foreigners, Visitors, Individuals born within the Union that are not willing to register as residents, that lost their Citizen status or any other being with a status other than resident or Citizen. Only emergency services are free. Emergency services may include relocation to places where such assistance can be rendered. Social Insurance is only available to a being with a registered address. Note: the offspring of Residents and Non Cits has the right to go to school. Social services can usually does assist non Cit parents with housing and basic needs during the time their child goes to school. School kids are considered Proto Citizens and can ask the Citizens Office for assistance (Financial study aide is available) Non Cits have the right to work and employers are not penalized for hiring Non Cits. However certain restrictions apply. Non Cits can not obtain basic security clearance needed for some types of work. Right to work does not mean the Union has to provide work or unemployment compensation. However the Union operates several Work Colonies where Non Cits (residents and citizens of course as well) will find work, have subsidized housing and food. While working they can obtain Social Security Insurance. Work Camp placement is voluntary but the only way the Union will assist Non Cits

Union Federal laws apply to all - Declaration of rights of sentient beings also applies to all.
