Generally no but there are few exceptions. You can be in political office with dual citizenship from Port Literic And if you have citizenship of Sanctity Moonlands you don't even need our citizenship at all, because this nation is our extraterrestrial dominion and so even when it is diversified from our original citizenship it still has every aspect of the original citizenship.

It is unlawful for any person to wield coercive, violent authority before any other person. Most state officials are eligible to be declared outlaws and thus might be hunted down to death in the Abode of Peace.

Administrative or political positions in voluntary associations might be filled by anyone appointed by said association. Darussalam has no concept of citizenship, instead there exists a network of proprietors, employees, invitees, and tenants, with varying degrees of status as established within their contract.

No, because it might produce a conflict of interest. A person of any race or ethnicity can hold office, but they must renounce the dual citizenship if they have any.

This nation does reflect my IRL views unless something is more interesting to differ from what I believe otherwise. For example, Welskerland is a constitutional monarchy, while I prefer a republic IRL.

No. Any Novan politician must be 100% loyal to the Imperial Free State, and dual citizenship creates conflict of interest. Foreign-born Novan citizens can, however, hold office, and several of our most successful previous Presidents were not ethnically Novan. Only citizenship is required, background is not important.

The very notion of a Sidh holding any citizenship other than Imperial is abhorrent to the vast majority of Sidhae, save maybe for token honorary citizenship in the Imperium's few allied nations.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

Only subjects of His Majesty the King are permitted to be members of either the Houses of Commons or the House of Lords and as subjects are required under oath to renounce any allegiance to a foreign power, this by necessity restricts political office to only subjects of the King. Furthermore, all members are required to take an Oath of Allegiance to the King before taking their seats or being permitted to vote. This Oath reemphasises the requirement for subjects to renounce all other allegiances to any foreign power.

Ainin does not recognise dual citizenship (but does not prohibit it either). There are therefore no restrictions on holding public office for dual citizens.

No. Acceptance of public office, whether by law, appointment or election, amounts to a renunciation of the individual's allegiance to the other country. The same is true for service in the Jeltronian armed forces.

Dirlandic citizenship law is on the basis of jus soli, so unless one parent is a Dirlander born in Democratic Cottony and another gives their nationality by jus sanguinis, dual citizenship is rare. However, dual Dirlandic citizens are allowed to hold a political office (they will if they have residence in the island and are past the age of 12).

Any posts that I make as GenSec will be clearly marked as such and OOC. Conversely, my IC ambassador in the General Assembly is Ambassador Fortier. I’m always happy to discuss ideas about proposals, particularly if grammar or wording are in issue. I am also Executive Deputy Minister for the WA Ministry of TNP.
Kenmoria is an illiberal yet democratic nation pursuing the goals of communism in a semi-effective fashion. It has a very broad diplomatic presence despite being economically developing, mainly to seek help in recovering from the effect of a recent civil war. Read the factbook here for more information; perhaps, I will eventually finish it.
