| Date | 08:32:16, August 07, 2015 CET | From | Conquest Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the Nationality and Citizenship Reform 3887 |
| Message | What does it mean to be Mordusian? Does it mean you passed a test? No! It means you were born to Mordusian citizens. We do believe that if you were born here, you should automatically be a Mordusian National, unless you are born to an illegal alien parents. We do believe that citizenship should be granted to persons living in Mordusia legally, for 5 years, as long as they have not been convicted of a felony and are not a burden on any of our social welfare programs. |
