Welcome to your first term of public service
A Guide to Your 18-Month Foundational Service and All Future Decennial Duties
Citizenship practiced, not merely inherited. Every person participates in the preservation of our society through structured service beginning the first of the month after their 20th birthday and recurring every 10 years after. These obligations are staggered to ensure stable staffing, uninterrupted governance, and equitable contribution.
Your first term lasts 18 months:

All later terms last 12 months.
