Human migration in Illuminatia

Migration of members of the human population in Illuminatia is a natural and feely-occurring phenomenon that is gracefully managed without active governmental, systemic, or cultural inhibitions, although population management needs commonly benefit from the highly-effective use of fully-voluntary incentive-based public policy methods for managing and encouraging certain patterns of migration in efforts to promote the greater public interest and ensure adequate resource distribution. The practice of seasonal migration and part-time residency is enjoyed by a sizeable minority of Illuminatians and is practical for many thanks to generally supportive economic conditions.

Migration of residents to and from cities to other cities and between regions is wholly welcomed and accepted as a part of the conventional human freedom of mobility, both on the individual level as well as migration as considered through trends on the macro scale. Cultural systems in Illuminatia discourage the formation of exclusive in-groups and other social behaviors that might ostracize those who might otherwise be considered to be outsiders to a given region. Linguistic boundaries exist in Illuminatia due to the adoption of any one of four Protolucidian languages as a home language by a strong minority of the population, however due to the universal usage of Glossa Communi as a public language, differences in language are not a source of division or access restriction for migrants.

Migration between parts of Illuminatia is in no way limited or checked by government regulations or limits. There are no borders or partitioning of nations on the Neonisi planet, and so any concerns similar to those upon which those in power fixated during Earth's archaeomodern historical era in regards to immigration across arbitrarily-drawn borders are moot in Illuminatia. While culturally-identified regions and administrative subdivisions exist in Illuminatia, these lines do not suggest or impart any semblance of a hard or soft border between parts of the continent which are otherwise all united under one civilization democratically administered at the top level by one unified government.

Despite the Illuminatian civilization's aversion to limiting freedom of movement, government agencies such as the Office of Demography (OOD) maintain an interest in documenting changes in population numbers and densities purely for descriptive and informational purposes, and offices within the Bureau of Reproduction and Copulation (BRC) as well as other departments make use of incentives to encourage and discourage migration patterns. These incentives merely provide useful information to potential migrants so that they may make decisions with fully-informed consent as they balance their concerns for societal needs with any personal motivations. This incentivization has proven successful at encouraging population patterns in-line with guidelines from the Lucidus mission intended to provide for the highest probability of the success of human civilization upon the Neonisi planet. These guidelines, which remain codified into regulation, ensure the equitable distribution of economic power and other resources among a changing and rapidly growing Illuminatian population.

Migration patterns orchestrated by the government have been responsible for sustainable growth of the human population in Illuminatia. These patterns encouraged raw growth during Illuminatia's early history and transitioned to logical distribution of the population to newly-settled lands later. For instance, early in Illuminatia's settlement history, raw population growth was a necessity as a mechanism to secure the establishment of the Illuminatian branch of humanity. As secondary settlement cities were established, there arose a need to encourage populations of certain demographics of working-age individuals and their families to populate these cities and this was accomplished through incentives. Later in settlement history, the population of tertiary settlement cities was accomplished through similar methods, targeting individuals based upon vocation as well as educational specifications. Population migration goals have also strongly considered the familial and relational background of individuals in respect to multiversal duplication heritage aspects in order to maintain diversity and redundancy in the human gene pool.

While Illuminatians maintain levels of regional social identity based on city of residence, ancestral origin upon one of the three ships of the Lucidus mission, and dominant foreparental multiversal duplication origin, these factors of social cohesion in no way prevent the welcoming of migrants from other geographical regions or from other ancestral backgrounds. In fact, these identity constructs and social paradigms allow for a cultural texture that encourages a sense of place and shared humanity among newcomers and natives alike. Regional social identity has proven effective as a contextual cultural nucleus that nonetheless discourages “othering” of those who might be considered outsiders.
