Bill: Quality Citizenship Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aloria United
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2114
Description[?]:
| Currently anyone can arrive in the country, walk straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and apply to be a citizen. The nation does not know anything about this person, but is willing to gullibly accept them in, no questions asked. We propose that questions *do* be asked. There are currently no mechanisms in place to stop a large influx of people from a foreign country arriving here, claiming citizenship, and voting in the next elections, swinging the power balance. We propose both a citzenship test, and a minimum period of 2 years for permanent residency, and a further 2 years for citizenship. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy concerning granting nationality (national of this state without implication of having citizenship rights).
Old value:: Anyone is able to claim nationality.
Current: Only those born to nationals become nationals.
Proposed: Anyone receives nationality but immigrants must pass a test to gain nationality.
