The question is, does your country have it?


No; this nation operates under jus sanguinis principles. Automatic citizenship is only granted to those with at least one citizenship-holding parent, without regard to the child's birthplace, or to the age of the parents. However, those without automatic citizenship find it relatively easy to obtain, even as a minor, and are not restricted from any political office after it is granted.

YellowApple, Inc. does not have birthright citizenship per se; citizenship is dependent on the prospective citizen formally agreeing to abide by the terms established by the YellowApple, Inc. Contract of Citizenship, and contracts are only valid if all signatories provide informed consent (something which non-adults are not capable of). Thus, children are assumed to be YellowApplan citizens if one or more of the child's legal guardians are already YellowApplan citizens (regardless of where the child was born, and regardless of whether or not said legal guardian was already a YellowApplan citizen at the time of the child's birth).

Upon reaching adulthood (32 hexadecimal megaseconds of age - approximately 17 "years" - for most species), a YellowApplan is required to explicitly consent to the terms of said Contract of Citizenship (i.e. by signing it); only then is a young adult unambiguously considered to be a citizen of YellowApple, Inc. This also entails signing the YellowApple, Inc. Contract of Residency (a requirement for satisfying the conditions of the Contract of Citizenship); if a young adult does not wish to be a YellowApplan citizen, one may instead opt to sign the Contract of Residency alone, or even not sign the Contract of Residency and instead undergo deportation if one prefers to live outside of YellowApplan jurisdiction. Many families will hold a party or other gathering in order to commemorate the occasion.

People born in Netoraria are considered citizens if at the very least both of their parents are currently in the process of becoming citizens, which requires that have passed physical and mental tests as well as already pledged their undying allegiance. It goes without saying that if both parents are citizens, so is the child. No one can renege on this process once it's put into motion because of how much time and effort the state must put into you. If a refugee managed to land on our soil and birth a child, that child has no national rights whatsoever. As refugees are routinely found out and deported within days, if not hours, the chance of this occurring is extremely slim.

Legal residence in the Empire is birthright if both parents are citizens of the Empire. However, full citizenship (with which comes the right to have children, most notably) is only obtainable after four years of service in any branch of the Imperial military. Most citizens choose to obtain citizenship by serving in the military's reserve components or the National Militia, as forcing prospective citizens to serve in the active duty armed forces is considered akin to maintaining an army of conscripts.

A person born in Haiphong to non-citizens has birthright legal residency, but the privileges of citizenship are withheld until they complete a more stringent assimilation exam than is required of immigrants themselves. This test consists of proving reasonable competency in The history of our nation and Fluency in Vietnamese. They must also graduate high school, and, along with all other Haiphongites, Serve in the Military for a year in peacetime or for the duration of a war that starts during their year.

It is, indeed, nearly true to say that anyone born within Victor's borders is a citizen.

It should be noted that the process of "birthing" a new citizen involves growing them in an artificial womb until adulthood, when they are developed enough to understand concepts like citizenship. Victor believes that no person should be subjected to anything they don't consent to if it can be avoided, so the process of awakening a new citizen involves asking them such questions as,

"Do you wish to continue existing?"
"Would you like to be removed from your tank?"
"Would you like to join and participate in a larger societal entity?"
"Do you agree to this entity's terms and conditions for existing within it?"

among others. The capacity to understand these questions, along with the rest of the language, is taught hypnotically during later stages of development, before the individual becomes self-aware.

As might be expected, most people do wish to continue existing, and are happy to become a new citizen. However, in cases where they do not, Victor stays true to his word and accommodates them.

For similar reasons, any citizen may forfeit their citizenship at any time.

To have Thaman citizenship at birth, one or both of your parents must possess Thaman citizenship but it is not necessary to be born in Thama.

If you are born to non-Thamans in Thama, you will not be a Thaman citizen, however if you were born and live in Thama for at least 4 years, you will be granted citizenship. Non-Thaman parents of Thamans are allowed to be naturalised for free if they choose so.

We do not. We have jus sanguinis for people born in the country that are ethnic Russians, indigenous minorities from current Russian land, the children of the naturalized, and all children of these groups wherever they may be, as well as those inhabiting the country for a period of 5 years that prove to be knowledgable of and in good standing with our institutions that seek naturalization.

Birthright Citizenship in Angle-Sasseny

Postby Angle-Sasseny » Wed Mar 06, 2019 12:55 am

Angle-Sasseny does not have jus soli and strictly uses jus sanguinis. If one is born to two foreign or non-citizen parents currently residing in the country, they are not granted or legible for citizenship. However, if one of their parents is an Angle-Sassen citizen, then they can be granted citizenship but it would not be automatic. If one is born to two citizens, then they are automatically granted citizenship.

A non-citizen can gain citizenship by taking a test on Angle-Sassen history, culture, political system and society; swearing an oath of loyalty, and having been residing in the country for five consistent years and currently residing.

Auspelia does have birthright citizenship but with some restrictions. According to the Auspelian nationality law, a person born in Auspelia acquires Auspelian citizenship by birth only if at least one parent is an Auspelian citizen; or else only after living in Auspelia for the first 15 years of their life regardless of the parent's citizenship status. Children born in Auspelia to parents that are stateless may request citizenship, however, the Auspelian state reserves the right to reject the request/application.

The Nationality Law of the People's Republic of Zhouran determines who is and who is not a Zhouranese citizen. Zhouranese nationality law, which operates mainly on the basis of jus sanguinis ("right of blood"), confers citizenship upon all children of Zhouranese citizens born in Zhouran, as well as the first generation of descendants of Zhouranese expatriates living abroad.

No. You're only a Huterric Union citizen if at least one parent if a Huterric citizen. Only citizens whose parents are both citizens may pass on citizenship by descent, as well.

The only exception is if the child would otherwise be stateless. In that case, the baby as well as any stateless parents are given citizenship automatically.
