Citizens

This is a list of Minecraft players who have been deemed "citizens" of France. Citizens are always given some kind of political position within the government of France, unless they request otherwise. Anybody can apply to become a citizen by contacting King Louis XVI , but they must meet certain requirements:

1. Citizens of Spain cannot be in allegiance to any other nations, as this could cause a conflict of interests.
2. Although the King is typically open to compromise, citizens must always follow instruction to ensure France remains internally stable.
