If your serious, it’s something we do every few years to see how many people live in the US (like how many people live at your house), what race and gender you all are, income and that sort of thing. Basically it just gives the government a general idea of how many people live in the US, whether or not they are citizens and other social and economic shit. You fill them out anonymously and it only effects general population reports and stuff, it doesn’t really effect you personally. It’s pretty much only used for statistical purposes.
I think the MDHS one is Mississippi child support and this “sovereign citizen” is a deadbeat parent (surprise).
Out of curiosity, does your country not have a census? I would have guessed every country does to have accurate information about their populace.
In my hellscape there are three sources of information about who lives in country
- Registration in police
- They also issue internal pasports
- I think foreigners register there too
- Their registration is used by election committees
- Registration is based on place where you live(permanent for your home and temproary for stuff like hotel, camping site, prison…)
- Civil registration?
- They give birth and death certificates
- They also keep track of citizenship
- And marriages
- Census
- They knock on doors and write whatever what said by people
- They ask foreigners only 7 questions and 33 questions for citizens
- If you say you are unicorn mare from Equestria they will write that here lives unicorn mare from Equestria
- It is used to get factual information about what people live here
- They don’t ask pasports or any other document
Participating in census is not mandatory here. If you make census mandatory it will probably be no better than existing beaurocracy and defeats purpose of getting on-ground truth.
How? Is it China? I can’t imagine real digitalized census without China level of surveillance.
