Arlandicans (Cebuano: Mga Arlandikano) are the people who hold citizenship in Arlandica. They share ties with Austronesian peoples, primarily Filipinos. Arlandicans are fluent in various Philippine and Asian languages, yet the official language recognized is Cebuano. Roughly half of Arlandica's population resides within the country's borders.

Jerold I, Founder and current King of Arlandica

The first person to have Arlandican citizenship is, of course, its founder and current monarch, King Jerold I. The next person to gain citizenship is his younger sister, Jeanne, the heir apparent to the throne. The population of Arlandicans is slowly growing, and the government is actively making efforts to recruit more people.

According to the constitution, Arlandicans are not allowed to hold dual citizenship. This provision is controversial, and some foreign micronational leaders have criticized it. However, King Jerold I remains steadfast in not changing this provision. Arlandicans enjoy the full rights and privileges granted by the constitution and laws of Arlandica.

Qualifications for citizenship

Native-born Arlandican citizens are those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of Arlandica. Foreign nationals who are citizens of a macronation, rather than any micronation, may be eligible to apply for Arlandican citizenship through the process of naturalization. Foreign nationals who meet the eligibility criteria, as outlined in the constitution, can submit an application or letter of intent for naturalization to the monarch. The monarch will then review the application and either approve or reject it. Upon obtaining Arlandican citizenship, naturalized citizens enjoy the same rights, privileges, and responsibilities as native-born Arlandican citizens.

Individuals obtaining Arlandican citizenship are required to renounce any other citizenship they may hold with other micronations. Dual citizenship with other micronations is not permitted for Arlandican citizens. However, individuals are allowed to retain their citizenship in their macronations.

Identification

All Arlandican citizens are required to have passports issued by the Arlandican government.

Citizens and Residents

Citizens possess the right to run for government office, join the country's political parties, receive free education, and serve as personnel in the civil guard. Citizens cannot be deported unless they have violated the laws imposed by the government.

Residents of Arlandica are individuals who possess legal permission to reside within the territory of the kingdom but have not yet acquired citizenship. They do not enjoy the full rights and privileges granted to citizens. Residents are foreigners who have been granted legal permission to reside within the country indefinitely, often due to their purchase of land in Arlandica, subject to macronational laws. While certain land in Arlandica is not owned by the government or citizens, residents, including other foreign nationals, lack political rights and the ability to hold positions in the Arlandican government. Nonetheless, they are eligible to serve in the civil guard.
