COMMUNIQUÉS

After concerns about GDPR's effects on our membership data, no further registry or tally of members has been kept. To that effect no further contact with new registries has been kept in years, though their original emails are most likely still active and awaiting a response. For this the leadership of our republic asks for forgiveness and understanding.

That said, the republic should not be seen as inactive. Interest to further the aims of the state and its functioning will be considered, and any such offers will be met with a positive response as long as the the person making contact shares the fundamental values held by our constitution.

In order to comply with the new GDPR laws of the European Union where our server is hosted, all citizenship applications prior to the 25th of May 2018 have been erased from the system in order to protect your privacy (emails and in the databank). All old citizens will have to reapply for citizenship. Furthermore, applications will now only be considered from individuals 18 years of age or older in order to make sure we have the propper consent and that you as a citizen fully understand the implications of applying.

We hope you understand why this had to be done.

Recently the amount of applications to Byrdia has grown exponentially. Given the holiday season, processing time for applicants and response may take longer than usual.

The relative quiet regarding The United Republic of Byrdia comes as a product of being received as some sort of joke. This is also the reason behind our inability to publish an official wikipedia page.

To that effect the current leadership of the republic has decided to revisit the current draft of the constitution. Having never been officially ratified, it is still entirely open for redrafting, and the intention is to more clearly formalise the institutions to the conditions in which we find ourselves so that it better can reflect the real work that is required in order to establish our sovereignty.

An official wikipedia page for The United Republic of Byrdia is currently under construction and should be published before the end of august.

The official website of Byrdia is now officially running. All major and minor communiqués will be published on the website under byrdia.org/news. Further updates are to come.
