Message | We could support allowing aliens to nationalize but ... just a test? |
Date | 04:29:45, June 25, 2007 CET | From | Secular Party | To | Debating the Immigration Reform Act |
Message | It's the only option that creates requirements for immigrants before they become citizens. Besides, the word test doesn't necessarily mean just a traditional written test. It may mean military service, learning the language, or some more. |

Message | OOC:Fair enough then, have to work with the options that are given. Disregard my previous IC comment. IC We would support this. |
Date | 10:49:07, June 25, 2007 CET | From | Covenanters (IA) | To | Debating the Immigration Reform Act |
Message | OOC: The secular party are quite correct. The policy, however, does need to be spelt out in the bill description, otherwise the wording does imply a written exam. IC: We would support overseas born soldiers being granted Luthorian nationality after serving this great Empire - but this would need to be drafted into the bill. |

Random fact: Cultural Protocol bills must provide a real-life equivalent or short description for the ethnic groups, languages and religions contained in them, such that it would be easy for an unfamiliar player to understand (e.g. "Dundorfian = German"). Where appropriate, they should also provide guidance to players on where to find help with translations and character names. This might include, for example, links to Google Translate, Behind the Name's Random Name Generator and Fantasy Name Generators. |

When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." - Confucius |
