Membership is the first civic layer of X Town.
Before a nation defines who leads, who governs, who contributes, or who advances, it must define who belongs.
This page exists to establish the identity, expectations, and alignment required to enter the town.
It distinguishes membership from roles, clarifies the meaning of belonging, and creates the foundation for the town’s population and census.
Membership is not a title.
Membership is the expression of alignment.
X Town is a proto–network state.
In any emerging nation, the first question is not how it is governed.
The first question is:
Who belongs here?
Membership answers that question by:
• defining the civic body of the town
• establishing the population that forms the nation
• creating the filter for cultural fit
• selecting for alignment rather than scale
• shaping the identity and tone of the community
• enabling the census and population metrics
