	The admission of new republics requires a referendum among the affected population, though they are only constitutionally mandated when ~~“major changes”~~ would be made to existing republic boundaries. The merger of multiple republics requires a majority in each republic to be merged, while the splitting of a republic requires either a simple majority on ~~{{wp\|~~double majority\|both sides}} of the new border or a two-thirds {{wp\|supermajority}} in the seceding territory. In contrast, the accession of a republic from outside Omerica or of a federal territory within Omerica only requires a simple majority to pass.
