Bill: Immigration Act Of 4164
Details
Submitted by[?]: Malivian People's Party
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: October 4165
Description[?]:
| OCC: Re-proposal of a bill that did not get voted on properly due to offline period. This bill proposes changes to legislation to greatly improve national security. Malivia grants citizenship to all nationals, and anyone can claim nationality. In effect, with the current laws, anyone on the planet can claim citizenship and reside in Malivia with NO security checks/tests. We don't even confirm the identity of visitors. The People's Party see's these as major security threats. We should ensure that known terror and criminal groups are kept out of Malivia. REGARDING ARTICLE 1: I propose that nations and groups that pose no security threat to Malivia would have an unlimited quota, while nations and groups known to pose threats to our security have a low or zero quota. It would differentiate depending on circumstance. |

| Random fact: Players have a responsibility to differentiate between OOC (out-of-character) and IC (in-character) behaviour, and to make clear when they are communicating in OOC or IC terms. Since Particracy is a role-playing game, IC excesses are generally fine, but OOC attacks are not. However, players must not presume this convention permits them to harass a player with IC remarks that have a clear OOC context. |
