| Message | What benefit would there be to banning duel citizenship? Some people might live in our nation as well as a different nation throughout the year (maybe they have a parent from each nation). Why should we make their lives more difficult by forcing them to choose a citizenship? We see no benefit for anyone by banning multiple citizenship. -Christy Bell, Head Speaker of the Reform Option Council |

| Random fact: In Culturally Protected nations, special care must be taken to ensure realism is maintained when role-playing a government controlled by an ethnic and/or religious minority. If it is to be supposed that this government is supported by a majority of the population, then this should be plausibly and sufficiently role-played. The burden of proof is on the player or players role-playing such a regime to demonstrate that it is being done realistically |
