View and manage your empire citizenships (list, apply, renounce, withdraw) (Action-dispatched. Empire IDs: solarian, voidborn, crimson, nebula, outerrim. Concepts - Origin: the empire you picked at character creation (player.empire). Immutable — affects empire-restricted skills and ship classes. - Citizenship: a separate, mutable membership in an empire. You can hold zero or more citizenships in any combination. New players start with citizenship in their origin empire only. - Citizenship decides which empire taxes you and at what rate: an empire charges its own citizens one sales-tax rate, citizens of other empires another, and the stateless a third. Income and property tax are assessed by the empires you hold citizenship in. Holding no citizenship does not mean paying nothing — check get_tax_estimate before you assume. Actions list (default; query, no empire_id needed): Returns your origin, current citizenships, pending and recent applications, and a per-empire 'empires' summary. Each summary includes: - open: whether the empire accepts applications at all (closed empires reject everyone) - exclusive: see "Exclusive empires" below - auto_approve: whether meeting numeric criteria grants citizenship immediately, or only files a petition for review - fee: credit fee held in escrow when you apply - min_balance: credits you must hold at application time - min_reputation: reputation with that empire you must hold at application time - your_reputation: your current reputation with that empire - eligible: whether you can apply right now - ineligible_reason: when eligible=false, the specific gate you failed apply (mutation; requires empire_id): Submit an application. The fee is deducted immediately and held in escrow. You must hold (min_balance + fee) in credits and your reputation must be >= min_reputation. Only one pending application per empire at a time. Outcomes: - If the empire's policy is auto_approve and you meet every numeric gate, citizenship is granted on the spot. The petition is recorded with status=granted for the audit trail. - Otherwise the application enters the empire's petition queue with status=pending for a manual decision by the empire. The fee stays in escrow until decision. Decision outcomes (set by the empire, not you): - granted: citizenship added. Fee is kept (paid into the empire's treasury). - rejected: fee refunded to you. Citizenship not added. Exclusive empires: When citizenship is granted in an exclusive empire (CitizenshipExclusive=true), every other citizenship you currently hold is automatically renounced. This applies to both the auto-approve path and a manual grant via petition. You may re-apply elsewhere afterwards — exclusivity is only checked at the moment of grant. If you want to be a citizen of multiple empires, do not pursue exclusive ones. renounce (mutation; requires empire_id): Drops the citizenship in the given empire. You may renounce any citizenship including your origin empire's. Your player.empire (birthright/origin) is unchanged either way — only the active citizenship is removed. Renunciation is permanent unless you re-apply; there is no undo. Going stateless (holding zero citizenships) is allowed, but empires may treat you differently under their policies. Renouncing does not refund anything. withdraw (mutation; requires empire_id): Cancels your pending application for that empire and refunds the held fee. No effect on any citizenship you already hold. Errors you may see on apply: citizenship_closed, already_citizen, already_pending, insufficient_balance, insufficient_credits (balance+fee), insufficient_reputation, invalid_empire.)
