Part of the Liberal-Green Alliance

Party Abbreviation: SDP
Party Colors: Orange, purple, green

Full Party Platform:
The Social Democratic Party seeks to implement a social democracy in the nation similar to that of the Scandinavian countries, including Sweden. Its key policy is the implementation of a universal basic income for all adult citizens in the place of most welfare programs. The party also supports a wealth tax on the richest citizens. In social issues, the party is liberal, supporting LGBT rights, feminism movements and decriminalization of drug possession. In terms of economics, the SDP seeks to keep tariffs low and increase international trade, and recognize the right of workers to unionize, though do not support any union movements. The party welcomes immigration as a way to strengthen the nation's economy and culture, as well as refugees and asylum seekers. In environmental issues, the party advocates for action on climate change, especially in seeking renewable energy sources, and supports the use of nuclear energy. In government issues, the SDP supports e-democracy and more direct involvement of citizens in government, but also some ideas of technocracy in technical fields of the government. The party also has strong beliefs in scientific research, and supports more government funding on all types of research, but especially on energy and automation.

Customs And Immigration Act
Author: John De Clairmont

---

---

An Act on International Travel, Immigration, and Asylum.

BE IT THEREFORE ENACTED, as follows:

---

---

§1 -On Customs

1. "Customs" shall be defined as any added security at legal points of entry for people who are internationally traveling
2. Forms the Customs and Immigration Commission, a subdepartment of the Ministry of State, that determines if a potential immigrant would serve as a good citizen, distribute Visas, Naturalize immigrants, determine what additional papers are needed to pass customs, and helps immigrants find jobs and be good, working citizens.
3. A person must have at minimum, a valid passport to pass through customs. The Customs and Immigration Commission may require additional papers at their discretion, such as an entry permit or work pass, as long as it is not unfairly discriminating against people of a certain demographic.
4. Customs inspectors must be legally trained by the Customs and Immigration Commission to be able to work.
5. All legal points of entry Customs must have available papers to apply for asylum and Immigration.

§2 - On Immigration and Asylum

1. Immigration inspectors will be hired.as employees of The Customs and Immigration Commission, and will determine if potential immigrants receive Citizen status. Immigration Inspectors will receive training by their employees, and may not discriminate against people of any demographic.
2. Potential Immigrants must fill out a form, titled J-459, which requires the applicants Full name, Date of Birth, Dates of marriage and Divorce, any Family members already in Saint Hilda, any family members or friends joining them as immigrants, previous employment, and Education. Inspectors will perform a background check to see criminal record as well. People applying for dual citizenship will have to go under further inspections from both nations.
3. People may apply for Asylum if they are in danger in their home country. While someone's application is processing, they enter a state fittingly known as "Limbo" as Asylum councils in the Customs and Immigration Commission discuss their fate. While in Limbo, a person is temporarily exempt from foreign investigations, however the Asylum councils withhold the right to undo that immunity. If granted asylum, that person retains the foreign criminal immunity and receives housing from the government.

§3 - The Customs and Immigration Commission

1. As stated in sections one and two, the Customs and Immigration Commission presides over foreign entry, immigration, and asylum. As such, the Commission has three branches: Customs, Immigration, and Asylum.
2. The Customs Branch consists of Customs Inspectors, Inspector Trainers, and Overseers. The inspectors manage the flow of international transit, the Trainers train the inspectors, and the Overseers oversee both the inspectors and the trainers. They also have a council of Overseers, which decides what papers are necessary for entry.
3. The Immigration branch is similar to the Customs Branch, having Inspectors, Trainers, and Overseers. The inspectors judge whether or not a potential Immigrant would make a good citizen, and the other two are self-explanatory. There is also a council of Overseers, which regulates what makes it on the J-459 form and how in-depth inspections go.
4. The Asylum Branch is different, however, only being made up of 5 councils of 9 individuals each, who do in-depth investigations of people up for asylum, and judge whether to grant immunity in limbo. Each council has a Chief councillor, who serves as the overseer of the council, and also all 5 Chief Councillors meet in another council, which heads the Asylum branch.
5. All decisions are subject to override by the overseer, who can be overridden by the head council of the branch, which is subject to the Minister of State's overrule, and then the Prime Minister may overrule the Minister of State.
6. This Act may only majorly be edited by the Prime Minister or Parliament. The Minister of State may make small edits, but the rest is up to the Parliament. If a future piece of Legislation comes into combat with this, a vote will be held in Parliament.

   This can be worded better this way:
   "Immigration inspectors, employed and trained by the Customs and Immigration Commission, shall determine the granting of citizenship to foreign immigrants. They shall not discriminate against immigrants based on any demographic."
   
2. "The Customs Branch consists of Customs Inspectors, Inspector Trainers, and Overseers. The inspectors manage the flow of international transit, the Trainers train the inspectors, and the Overseers oversee both the inspectors and the trainers. They also have a council of Overseers, which decides what papers are necessary for entry."
   Can be worded like this:
   "The Customs Branch shall consist of Customers Inspectors, which manage the flow of international transit; Trainers,which manage the training of Inspectors; Overseers, which oversee the operations and determine the documentation necessary for entry."
