The Myeong Commonwealth invites individuals from all corners of the world to join a unique spiritual and intellectual journey toward sagehood, rooted in the timeless principles of Confucian philosophy.
The Myeong Commonwealth is a confederation of peoples united by a shared commitment to becoming sages—individuals who embody wisdom, benevolence, and righteousness. Citizenship in the Commonwealth is not bound by geography, ethnicity, or nationality. Instead, it is a spiritual and intellectual affiliation open to anyone who embraces our mission to live virtuously and contribute to a just society. Inspired by the legacy of the Daehan Empire (1897–1910) and its predecessor, the Ming Empire (1368–1662), we seek to revive Confucian spirituality as a powerful way of life, fostering personal and communal flourishing in a modern world. The Myeong Commonwealth is founded on six foundational principles that guide our governance and community life. We welcome individuals who share our dedication to these ideals:
Protecting Human Dignity
Preserving Freedom of Conscience
Respecting Universal Morality
Limiting Government Involvement in People's Lives
Upholding Parliamentary Democracy
Safeguarding Rights and Freedoms
These principles form the bedrock of our Constitution, reflecting our commitment to creating a society where every individual can pursue sagehood within a framework of freedom and justice.
The Myeong Commonwealth welcomes individuals aged 18 and older, regardless of ethnicity or macronationality, to apply for citizenship. Our inclusive approach ensures that anyone who aligns with our Constitution can join our community. There are two types of citizenship:
Spiritual Citizenship: Open to all who identify with the Commonwealth’s values, spiritual citizenship is granted upon successful application to His Majesty’s Government. Spiritual citizens enjoy all rights and freedoms outlined in Article II of the Constitution, except the right to vote or hold public office. This status allows individuals to participate fully in our spiritual and cultural community without altering their obligations to their home nations.
Full Citizenship: For those seeking to engage more deeply, including voting and running for public office, a review process conducted by the Home Office is required. This process ensures that full citizens are committed to the Commonwealth’s mission and governance.
