Bottom rung with a vote and freedom of travel are immigrants from outside. Typically these would have had to pass a medical screen because of very real health threats and demonstrate that they have the means to make an income sufficient to live on. Then they would be settled internally far from a border, probably a reclamation project like farm land or a water project.

I would think that the KFS has a real illegal immigrant problem. People sneak into the borders and live out in the woods or far out in some of the very rural KFS claims. Trading skills or bartering things like herbs and furs for KFS products. These people get paid for things like firewood or game meat, sometimes good salvage. Farmers employ them because they can pay them less than the meager salary of a KFS citizen farmhand.

Towns people and Farmers that own land would have a vote and a say in local or county politics with their county representative voting for the county in New Manhattan. Just to keep the number of represetatives small. Though, this could be based upon population too. X number of citizens equals one representative like the lost U.S. republic.
