Immigration and Travel in your nation?

[Lovaniye]

How do immigration and travel laws work in __________? What happens when someone foreign enters/exits the country? What are customs like? What are your laws reguarding citizens emigrating from your nation, or traveling to and from other nations? How does the government deal with contraband, etc?

I'll start:

Lovaniye allows its citizens to travel freely within the borders, and allows them to exit the country with special permits awarded for business trips and international deliveries. Convicted criminals of any type may not receive these permits. Lovaniye maintains closed borders, so no foreigners may enter the country without special allowances from in-nation businesses and international deliveries. Corporations often employ non-citizen researchers, for instance. Non-citizens must wear a tracking device at all times while in Lovaniye. Non-citizens in Lovaniye may not stay for more than thirty days at a time, although this law is poorly enforced. Non-citizens may not discuss alternative government styles with Lovaniyean citizens. Non-citizen will be removed and disallowed from returning if they violate any laws while in Lovaniye.

Because Lovaniye has no substance laws or gun control, there is no contraband. There is, however, an incredibly high Customs Tax for items purchased abroad or imported for personal use. Corporations and retailers may freely import items for sale, but these items must include a moderate Customs Tax in their sale price.

[Cameroi]

unrestricted, and mostly free. unarmed civilians crossing our borders don't bother us in the least. we watch them come and we watch them go and we don't interfere with their doing so.
but then, we're on lananara, and we have lion-bears. those little psionic creatures no one ever sees, because you see the illusions they project instead.

[Dagnia]

For travel, passports are required for all nations. Citizens of some nations may be exempt from the need for a visa if only planning to stay a certain amount of time. All must pay an entry fee of 10 golds. People with criminal records are denied entry.

Most of the above is true for immigrants. Depending on the country and their circumstances, they may be required to have a visa upon arrival or they may get one in Dagnia. The path to citizenship is easy if they can speak Dagnian (and mandatory if they plan to stay, as we don't want foreigners staying too long, at least as foreigners). The path to social acceptance is harder, as they have to show that they have embraced Dagnian culture and assimilated.

[Bulgharia]

Immigration isn't serious issue in Bulgharia. Every single traveler is checked by custom-house officer for drugs, alcohol, tobbaco and cigaretes. Immigrants have up to 30 days to perform altitude test or they will be deported back. Once the altitude test is completed, they are granted citizenship, and if requested, they can change their name to Bulgharian one. People traveling with pets must pay symbolic 1 dollar / lev tax. Pets are granted International Traveling Passport (ITP) as well as training, if the owners request that.

There is specially government funded program in order immigrants to get work and household. The only restrict on immigrants is that they don't receive child subsidy if they don't register children as Bulgharians. Foreigners can ask for police protection if they are discriminated.

[Wermaltan]

What happens when someone foreign enters the country?
If they are coming across legally, then they'll be asked to submit their passport into the traveler registry, have their bags checked, and a criminal background check is done.

What happens when someone foreign exits the country?
We look at their passports and cancel their visas, take them out of the traveler registry, and say a friendly good-bye.
What are customs like?
Polite people who utilize not too invasive procedures and high-tech tools to protect the borders and the country.
What are your laws reguarding citizens emigrating from your nation, or traveling to and from other nations?
You can move away from the country and we have no travel restrictions
How does the government deal with contraband, etc?

[Meowfoundland]

Immigration is very slightly restricted while the population is under a specific limit (48,000 people). If the population reaches this limit, immigration is strongly regulated and emigration from the nation is encouraged.

[Socialist World Republic]

They can come in and out from our spaceports. No restriction and checks. Only a metal detector for bombs. No passports needed.

[Sovereign Spirits]

There are no national immigration laws. The surrounding terrain is extremely difficult to pass, and the area is well-hidden and secluded. This is not to say there haven't been foreigners. The locals call them "Outsiders" and generally dislike them. However, word has somewhat gotten around in tight circles and many businesses are headquartered in within the boundaries of the nation. The market for their products has grown within the country, but most of the sales are international.

That's basically it. The businesses like their little slice of seclusion and don't make the locals too angry in case they rat them out, and vice versa. It's actually pretty strange, who knows how long this is going to go on.

[Kalaspia-Shimarata]

it's veery complecated to immigrate

[The Kangaroo Republic]

Immigration to the FKR is somewhat restricted.
While the FKR welcomes people who flee their countries because of war and violence; the fear of unjust persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group; or because of natural disasters. Some economic migrants are allowed, usually so if poverty in their nation of origin is so extreme that they cannot support themselves or their families with the basic needs required to survive (E.G. food, water, medicine). These people are classified under the group of involuntary immigrants, the reason for immigrating is to flee from bad conditions which could threaten the survival of themselves and/or their families.

Voluntary immigration is very restricted. The FKR usually only accepts immigrants with skills that are in high demand in the nation, such as doctors, engineers, or those skilled in the IT sector. Voluntary immigrants are required to have lived in the FKR for 3 years before they can apply for citizenship status. To apply for citizenship status, they will be assessed on their language skills (Both Kangan language and English language.), and their knowledge of the nation's history, culture and political system so that it will be on par with the minimum requirement of knowledge on these subjects for high school graduates in the country.

Family reunification is also a method of immigration. If a person within the nuclear family of an immigrant has citizenship status in the FKR, then said immigrant is allowed to migrate to the FKR for the purpose of family reunification. Such migration is also allowed if a person wishes to marry a person who has macropodine citizenship.

[Maraque]

How do immigration and travel laws work in __________? What happens when someone foreign enters/exits the country? What are customs like? What are your laws reguarding citizens emigrating from your nation, or traveling to and from other nations? How does the government deal with contraband, etc?

There are no immigration or travel laws. International flights or ships are not treated any differently than domestic trips, landing in the same places, without any special checkpoints. No one checks or stamps your passport: If you want or need such a thing for your own country's purposes, you have to go to a government office and get it yourself. It is not illegal to simply not bother, though. If you want to immigrate, you simply arrive, and don't leave. If you want to become a citizen, you start paying taxes. You dont actually need to come here to do that at all: Paying taxes makes you a citizen automatically, even if you have never set foot in the country.

[Tatec]

What happens when someone foreign enters/exits the country? What are customs like?
Tourists entering the Federal Republic are subject to a full security analysis by the Czech Intelligence Agency. Their belongings are checked for any illegal items, their passports are checked for any withstanding international arrest warrants and their personal information and any sense of privacy is hacked and stolen by Agents is checked.

Important Guests or those who are classed as 'suspicious' are tracked and followed by Agent's for the rest of their visit. If they wish to stay in the country they must undergo a loyalty test.

What are your laws reguarding citizens emigrating from your nation, or traveling to and from other nations?
Czech Citizen's travelling abroad are first investigated by the Czech Intelligence Agency to ensure their continued loyalty to the Federal Republic, the country they wish to visit is also investigated. Countries with democracy, communism and other views differing from the Emperor's are illegal to travel to. Important Citizens are followed during their trips.

Citizen's who wish to leave the country undergo the same investigation they are then executed for treason. It's impossible to leave the Republic. We don't care what happens to them after they leave the country of course, it's not like we kill them.

How does the government deal with contraband, etc?
Execution. The contraband is 'lost'. sold on the black market by the Government's Official Terrorist/Mafia Organization

[Vallermoore]

Tourists are welcome except those who have served more then six months in prison, or those who are seriously ill, or insane. Immigrants without criminal records are allowed in, but don't get full rights under the civil law for the first five years. They do face a certain amount of discrinmination, but without them the nation would probebly crash. We need them to do the more crappy jobs.
Everyone can travel abroad except criminals and a small handful of politicals on a special list.

[Planta Genista]

Travel: For travel passports are required from all countries. Depending on the length they will be required to obtain a visa (for 30 days to 2 years).
Immigration: Immigration is unrestricted for Genisti citizens, who wish to leave the country. They must follow the country's rules that they wish to move to. For those who want to immigrate to Planta Genista they must apply for the proper visa first.

[Hakkland]

Immigration to Hakkland is still limited to skilled workers (individuals with either a university or polytechnic degree or at least 3 years of training together with job experience), students and their immediate family members. Hakkland knows 3 types of immigration titles : Visa (validity of up to 90 days), residence permit and settlement permit. Work permits – if granted – are no longer issued independently but included within the immigration title and are available for foreigners that either fall into one of the several available permit categories (IT specialists, company trained specialist within a group of companies, managing personnel, scientists, highly skilled workers with exceptional income, etc.) or can prove a public interest in the employment. The categories and all requirements are listed in the ordinance on employment.

As Hakkland does not allow immigration without cause, it is necessary to be either enrolled with a school or university, have a specific job offer that fits the requirements of one of the work permit categories or intend to reunify with close family (spouse or minors) already within Hakkland (family reunification visa).
After obtaining a university degree, foreign students may stay for one year to find a job that matches their qualifications.
Any person married to a Hakklensk person may immigrate to Hakkland.


A person who immigrated to Hakkland may choose to become a Hakklensk citizen. To be granted the right to become a Hakklensk citizen, a person must:
have the "right to reside" in Hakkland
live in Hakkland legally for at least eleven years
not live on welfare as the main source of income unless unable to work, for example, because they are a single mother with small children
be able to speak Hakklensk and French
pass a test with questions about the history, culture and politics of the country. This test must be passed unless the applicant can prove that he is not able to learn the necessary facts because of an illness, a disability, or old age.
not have committed a felony
swear to commit to democracy and the Hakklensk constitution
give up the citizenship of other countries

Under certain conditions children born on Hakkland soil are automatically granted Hakklensk citizenship and, in most cases, also hold the citizenship of their parents' home country. Between 18 and 23 years of age, they must decide which citizenship to keep. However, if they hold the citizenship of a country that does not allow citizens to give up citizenship or if there are special circumstances that make it unacceptable for them to give up the citizenship of the other country, they may keep both.

Illegal immigrants are sent back home and are prohibited from coming to Hakkland for 15 years.




P.S : Hakkland provides free Healthcare to everyone (Citizens, Immigrants, Illegal immigrants)
