| Message | This is a bit OOC but aren't driver's liscences treated as ID cards in this game the same as the real world? That is where my proposal for the article comes from. |

| Message | I would say that they are one in the same. If you want to split the two then you are saying that someone who chooses to move here and wants to claim this as his homeland has less rights to that than someone born here who does not care? If what you say is correct then citizens gain the rights of this country, but have no basis for national pride. |

| Message | And if there is in fact a definate distinction between the two, if you can provide me with the information that supports your point, we will remove that article as we made a mistake. |

| Message | Citiizenship is in another article, nationality is seperate. Being a national, if living in a foreign country, makes it easier for you toi claim citizenship thus creating a Homgenous ethnic community. |
