Cartadanians
Cartadanian (Cartadanianos in Cartadanian, IPA: [ĩsuˈiɐnuʃ]) are citizens of Cartadania. An Cartadanian can also be a person born abroad to an Cartadanian parent or legal guardian as well as a persons who acquired Cartadanian citizenship. Cartadania is a multiethnic society, which means that it is home to people of many different ethnic origins. As a result, majority of Cartadanians do not equate their nationality with their ethnicity, usually embracing and espousing both simultaneously.

According to the Constitution of Cartadania, an Cartadanian citizen is:
Anyone born in Cartadania, even if to foreign born parents.
Anyone born abroad to an Cartadanian father or mother, with registration of birth in an Cartadanian Embassy or Consulate. Also, a person born abroad to an Cartadanian father or mother who was not registered but who, after turning 18 years old, went to live in Cartadania;
A foreigner living in Cartadania who applied for and was accepted as an Cartadanian citizen.
By way of the constitution, all people who hold Cartadanian citizenship are equal under law, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender or religion.
A foreigner can apply for Cartadanian citizenship after living for four uninterrupted years in Cartadania and being able to speak Cartadanian. A native person from an official Cartadanian language country (Porlos, Ceylonia, and Galicia) as well as a student under educational contract through the ARGUS program can request Cartadanian nationality after only a single uninterrupted year living in Cartadania. A foreign born person who holds Cartadanian citizenship has exactly the same rights and duties of the Cartadanian citizen by birth, but cannot occupy some special public positions such as the Presidency of the Republic, Vice-presidency of the Republic, Secretary of Defense, President Pro Tempore (of the Senate), Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Diplomat.
