With the current government, you must be a military officer appointed to the junta. So it could happen, but it's rare.

With the old government, all citizens were allowed.

NO! They must have given up their other citizenship long before entering politics; even that may not remove suspicion due to our political history, and enemies.

No. The oath of office includes forswearing allegiance to any other earthly nation, and any individual who is duly sworn as a servant of the Republic is loyal to God, the Republic, and no one else. Any other nations that wish to dispute this point and impose duties or obligations on former citizens or subjects of theirs who have since sworn sole allegiance to Neuhanseland are directed to take the issue up with the Navy. And its cannons.

Yes, politicians must at least hold Minoan citizenship, and other nationalities do not entail disqualification. Stateless nationals and refugees can be Minoan citizens after 12 months of continuous residence, and then run for office as Minoans from that point.

No. Parliament may, however, appoint a dual citizen or foreign national to office as a temporal measure or confer citizenship during times of National Emergency (the last case in which this happened was back in 2011 when Lord Oscar Andrews (a Globexantarian-born and later naturalised and knighted Free Tristanian officer) was appointed to the aide-de-camp to H.M Christian I and King's Commissioner (now state governor) of Uplandshire. A position to which he has been re-elected in 2015, 2019, 2023 and 2027), He also served King Christian II in the same capacity and Parliament of the Lord Privy Seal as well as the current Republic in the capacity of both state governor and Keeper of Heuvel House.

But under Free Tristanian law, in general, only natural-born citizens may hold office.

Dual citizens in Eclius are only allowed limited positions in governmental organizations, such as Department of Foreign Affairs

Yes, as the concept of renouncing citizenship of a country is alien to Rejistanis.

Most definitely. In fact around 54 members of the Boeric parliament have dual citizenship, mainly with Tevinter or Par Vollen. Given the fact that when the Confederacy was founded, around 65% of the population were Qunari or Tevinter settlers or of such descent, the new government decided to just give everyone who resided within its borders citizenship, whether or not they the citizenship of another nation. This was to avoid the bureaucratic nightmare of vetting millions of people who lived there the majority of their lives.

Dual citizens are allowed to hold any public office with the exception of the Presidency and the Vice Presidency, and cannot succeed to either post should their position place them in the Line of Succession.

Dual Citizenship is not accepted in West Phoenicia. You are either a citizen or you are not. West Phoenician laws requires you to renounce other nations citizenship to be a citizen of West Phoenicia.

So no one can hold political office and have dual citizenship.
