 The CIN is a relatively simple seven digit code, divided into a three and four digit portion (XXX-XXXX). The first three digits are a year identifier, based on when the individual gained citizenship in Westarctica. The second set of digits are a sequentially assigned number, generally based on the order a person applied for citizenship (though exceptions to this do exist).
-A simpler five digit code, divided into a two digit year and three digit sequential segment was briefly considered. This was abandoned in light of it not being able to accommodate the [[2016 GISHWES citizen surge]], as well as setting up a need to overhaul the system by 2099. Implementation of a hexadecimal numbering system was offered as a solution, but in the end the current format was adopted, as it allows for up to ten thousand per year, until the year 2999.
