| Message | "We should not let people from out of the country just become citizens we need to have an exam that tests their knowledge of our great Republica" "Government policy concerning granting nationality. (national of this state without implication of having citizenship rights) Anyone receives nationality but immigrants must pass a test to gain nationality." |

| Message | In other words, immigrants must pass a test to gain nationality and therefore citizenship. If you decide to change this law, EVERYONE must pass an exam to become a citizen of Baltusia, regardless whether he or she is a national or an immigrant. The massive logistical operation aside, citizenship should be granted to as many people as possible so that they too may enjoy the benefits of being a Baltusian. |
