Representatives may be elected to no more than three one-year terms, whether consecutive or non-consecutive.

The APN will institute its own digital currency and promote a national and international economy. A Monetary Fund entity will be established to promulgate and enforce monetary regulations, including a currency and economic development direction. The regulations must include a provision requiring a majority of held revenue be converted to gold until such time as needed. No tax will be levied on APN digital currency.

Article VII

The All Peoples Nation acknowledges dual citizenship. All citizens and honorary citizens of the APN must also be citizens of their host nation. One should remain loyal and in good legal standing with one's own host nation. The APN extends honorary citizenship to those whose host nation disallows dual citizenship at this time.

 

Article VIII

Citizens can choose varying levels of responsibility with regard to legislation submission and organization. These responsibility levels can be tied to three separate citizen contribution levels.
