Foreigners in office?

[Unilisia]

Hit 'Quote' instead of 'Edit' D:

[Zoblacon]

The King will appoint whoever the hell he wants! However it would be foolish to appoint some sweaty ape like a human into any government position - their smell would probably drop productivity!

[The Darwinian People]

Yes, as long as they have attained citizenship, membership into a political party (We do not allow independent candidates to run at the national level) and have passed a naturalization test.

[United Euan Republics]

Yes - regardless of national origin, as long as the person in question is a citizen of the UER they can run for any office, including for the Presidency.

[Secular Sweden]

Any and all. Why, we have a British gentleman in our highest office.

[Welaka]

Does your nation allow people born in other nations to run for any government position?

If they are holders of Citizenship in the Republic, then they may run for, or be appointed to nearly any office in the nation. The one exception is the Presidency, which may only be held by those born here, in Welaka.

Think of it as a safety measure, intended to help maintain the ideals and morals on which the Republic was established.

[Udema]

Yes, any citizen can run for Parliament. Cabinet Ministers (including, obviously, Prime Minister) are Members of Parliament. Interestingly enough, there is no citizenship requirement for King, in the case that succession fail and the nation need a new royal house.

[Vorlden-Zuirn]

Foreigners may hold all offices. However, since the Kaiser is always the previous Kaiser's progeny (expect in special cirumstances such as the current Kaiser), and since the Kaiser is always is of the Vorman ethnic group, the Kaiser is always a citizen.

[Golden Rus]

Does your nation allow people born in other nations to run for any government position?

Born - yes, sure. Although they must have a citizenship, and, I must admit, normally it's pretty difficult to get a full citizinship of the Golden Rus.

[Astralsideria]

As long as they have Astralsiderian citizenship, of course, although they're unlikely to be made a Party Leader and, therefore, have a chance at becoming First Chancellor. Astralsideria's protectorates, however, have produced many prominent men, who are counted as Astralsiderian citizens.

[Gutia]

Only if they have Gutian citizenship and even then it is very rare for a foreigner to become a highly ranked politican.

[Katorga Islands]

No.

Katorga is Katorgan. We are self-sustaining, isolationist, and don't need foreigners.

[Beldonia]

Run? In our good ol' monarchy? Ha!

[Cresilia]

No. You must be a citizen of the Republic to run for any political office.

[Naurobia]

We allow them to hold office on school boards, village government, town government, city governments, county governments, and state governments but we don't allow them to hold any office in the federal government.

[The Merchant Republics]

Any citizen may run for any position in his government regardless of who he is or where he is from, the concept of "foreigner" for that matter is rather unknown in the Republics, we tend to divide people into civilized and barbaric and leave it at that.

[The Floridian Coast]

A person who was not born a Floridian citizen can hold high office (the Senate or the High Council) if they were born in one of the nations we are officially allied with. Otherwise, they cannot hold high office. An immigrant who was granted Floridian citizenship can hold lower office (Congress and courts), and foreigners legally staying in the nation may hold local office (mayor, district superintendent)

[Capisaria]

If one becomes a Capisarian Citizen, you may run for any office not on a federal level with the exception of the Foreign Relations.

[Sibirsky]

Yes.

[Demen]

Ministers can be of foreign blood, but they have to of shown they were loyal to Demen before signing up.

[Frenequesta]

Yes, but they must be citizens first, and it's quite easy to become a citizen of Frenequesta in the first place.

[Maraque]

The only requirement is you must have lived here for 5 years. Nothing else.

Over 40% of the government is made up of individuals born abroad.

[Seperate Vermont]

Absolutely, at any level, as long as they are a resident of Vermont and have been elected by the people, we see no reason why they should not be allowed to try their ability.

In fact, the right for the people to elect whomever they wish to public office is strictly protected in our Constitution.

[Thurask]

We allow any citizen to run for office, and quite a few Parliament MPs are foreign-born/immigrants. However, the internal machinery of the Communist Party prevents most foreigners from getting to positions of real power.

[Stolitland]

Anyone who is a Stolitland citizen at the time of the election may run for elected office. The place of birth is not important, and nor is the length of citizenship.
