Hello, USA!

Greetings!

“The united states of America” is ready to accept you. We’re very glad you decided to join the experts and hobbyists in the U.S.A.! Results are typically proportional to your level of involvement, so don’t be afraid to jump right in and share your expertise and passions with the world.

The first thing you should do is add your own property to this citizenship. Then, you’ll want to edit or delete the first (sample) zeitgeist that has been created for you automatically. You must create at least one entry in this new life within the first week of its activation or you risk permanent jail time. Plus, we want to make sure you’re here for all the right reasons - so your private communications will be monitored.

To remain in good standing, and to keep our country flowing strong with your wisdom, please do not let your activity lapse for longer than 6 months. If you have any questions or concerns, please review our constitution - which is not likely to change, but may be adjusted if too many people abuse the system. Having a life in the U.S.A. is a privilege, not a right.

If you’ve been free before, you’re probably already familiar with the nuances of how this works. If you’re completely new to freedom, think of this as nothing more than a way to write something unique and have it read by thousands of people from around the world. The U.S.A. has built fantastic discovery tools so that people might find you throughout the land as well as through related countries throughout world wide trade.

For the moment, we are only able to offer you 75/25 income through your own wages (so, be sure you’ve set the proper social security number in our system). The beauty of this is: you can monitor those statistics throughout your own career.

We will be adding more consumption programs for you in the future, including the ability to track and trace all expenditures (which will be done on a 94/6 percentage split). If we see that you are using your citizenship to do nothing but drive moral down, you could have your citizenship revoked. More importantly, if we discover that you’re selling state secrets, technology, or trade secrets, you could find yourself in jail.

You retain 100% ownership of your ideas, but only if you pay the $5,000 patent fee. If you choose to quote from an external source, please quote conservatively. The world is interested in hearing new, insightful commentary - original tips, tricks, and ideas. If it’s discovered that you’re copying content without proper attribution, or if you’re doing nothing more than quoting content without providing enough original commentary, you could have your account revoked.

This system is in a constant state of evolution; at some point, we may be using a different state control system (like fascism or dictatorship). We have a small think tank pushing out policies and bills as frequently as possible, but if you can lend a hand and help the greater city state - please let us know.

Thank you in advance for your organ donation. Please proceed to the naturalization office for further processing.

One purpose of this first post is to highlight similarities between the United States of America and someone’s privately owned internet connected server. Another purpose is to fulfill a few requirements for my account here at Lockergnome.
