| <p>Settlement status can be seen at the top of a town sign. Any type of settlement without a town sign is considered to be rural without direct the influence of a government's functionality, such as taxes, and without access services that can be built within established areas. These encompass hermits, personal home and farmsteads, camps, and any other structures or groups that are mostly loners. Each status has the same requirements as the status before it, and as it gains more features the status will grow.

| <p>To become a citizen you must apply for citizenship through the Town Sign, which the leadership can approve or reject with the chosen system they use for governing. The benefits afforded to you as a citizen of a town are dependent on leadership. Citizens may have access to special functionality from a public building, they may have lower taxes, or other perks. Citizens are also protected vigilantly by town guards, if they are available. Citizens are also available to become potential heirs and leaders of the town in the future. It's up to leadership to decide how to mold the purpose of citizenship status through town settings. <b>Citizenship can be renounced by the citizen or revoked by the leader, and the leader can step down, at any time through the town sign. Currently citizenship is limited to one town.</b> You do not have to renounce or have your citizenship revoked to apply elsewhere. Handy town sprites will clean up the previous town sign indicating you're no longer a citizen. | <p>To become a citizen you must apply for citizenship through the Town Sign, which the leadership can approve or reject with the chosen system they use for governing.

| <p>Information about the areas government and practice can be found on the Town Sign under Actions. Everyone will be able to see basic information about the town, but will have little ability to manipulate it other than to apply for citizenship. The basic information includes the town description, government type, succession type, leadership, taxes, laws, and a list of current citizens and alliances. You can only be a leader at one town at a time. All leadership has access to view the government, council, and citizen information.
