Union Domestic Resident



A Union Domestic Resident is a person that completed Union School and but has not (yet) opted to serve. A Union Resident is a step above a Non-Cit. This official designation is to differentiate  between Union Domestic Resident and Union Alien Resident.

A Union Resident is restricted in many ways : He or she can not vote, can not freely travel everywhere (Needs Travel permit and must pay full price (No subsidized travel)) Can not use GalNet for free (Basic Citizen Services) Can not open a Bank account (Unless a Citizen co signs)

A Resident can get basic health service and basic social services if needed. A resident may rent or lease a residence but unless he or she has inhertited land or real estate, a resident may not buy (unless local laws permit it).

A Union Resident still pays full Union Tax.

A Union Resident may enter voluntary service up to 10 years after Union School. After that residents have to attend Citizen School for a refresher.

There are only about 100 Billion permanent Union Residents in all Union Space. Studies show that most Union Residents change their mind and serve their 22 month to become full citizens.
