The Custom of Citizenship
In order to join the Empire, one must take the Oath of Citizenship. The Oath must be made out loud with at least two witnesses. The Emperor recommends that these witnesses should be citizens of the Empire, but if none can be found, any bystanders will suffice.
I hereby declare, on oath, that I will support and defend the Empire of Chimerica against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear allegiance to the same; that I will follow the Imperial laws and customs; and that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion.
Upon swearing the Oath of Citizenship, you have the option of choosing a moniker, handle, holy name, or persona by which you will be known. If you do, announce, "From this day forth, in the lands of Chimerica, I shall be known as <name>".
The Custom of Conquest
In order to claim land for the Empire, one must perform the Ceremony of Conquest.
First, you must select an unclaimed location to conquer. This could be a house, park, part of a park, basement, back yard, restaurant, coffee shop, clearing in the woods, town square, area around a monument, or any other place that people could gather.
The territory you are claiming must be named.
You must choose the territory's "mode", ie, whether the combat is turn-based or real time.
You must visit this place with a minimum of three citizens of the Empire. While there, you must elevate yourself (perhaps by standing atop a soap box, table, or chair) and read the proclamation of conquest.
After you read the proclamation, there is a ten minute window during which anybody may challenge you for ownership of the territory. You may choose at least three types of challenge. If somebody wishes to contest you, they must select one of these challenges and beat you at it.
Examples of challenges:
- Battle
- Foot race
- chess match
- poker tournament
- riddle contest
You must provide any props or objects required by your challenges. For example, if somebody wishes to challenge you to a duel, you must have a sword available they can use.
Proclamation of Conquest:
I <name> hereby claim this territory in the name of the Chimerican Empire. If anyone would like to challenge me for ownership of this territory, they have ten minutes to do so.
