Are dual citizens allowed to hold political office in YN?

Postby Van Hool Islands » Thu Aug 17, 2017 11:10 am

In the Van Hool Islands, yes. The Prime Minister, Ariella Aitken, is a dual Van Hool-South African citizen, while the Acting Prime Minister, Odelia Ryskamp, is a dual Van Hool-New Zealand citizen.

No.
You must be a born and bred Versilian, and hold exclusively Versilian citizenship.

All you need is to have Skyhookedian citizenship. So yes.
Skyhooked is MT/PMT with a few FT elements. Military is factbook only. NS stats are mostly non canon.

We've never gave two shits either way, although Ewan McGregor's announcement back in 1959 after his takeover from the Communist coupers that "in a time of war, we can't have people who either - potentially - could support us or could support our enemies in Assembly" is still held as an unofficial priniciple to this day. But then again, we've never gone to war, are not at war, and we still refuse to give two shits either way to this day...

Dual citizenship is already illegal once you turn twenty one years old in Cascadia. All white-dual-citizenship persons that are also born residents are forced to renounce it and give a pledge to White Cascadia as a nation. Non-born residents of other races must either renounce it and give the pledge or be deported to the other nation, while non-born non-whites are deported at age 21. With the exception of out standing achievements. Born while non-white residents are given the same treatment as white non-borns.

So, in short, a firm no.

Aclion doesn't recognize duel citizenship. as it's seen as trivializing what it means to be a citizen and also would raise practical issues with taxation and other duties.

No, they must renounce their other citizenship(s) to hold political office here, since they are expected (at least in principle) to act only in the best interest of the nation of Ru.

In order to be eligible to be the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Ministers, Secretaries, or one of the Constitutional Court Judges one must be a Thermodolian citizen who does not hold the citizenship of another state.

Dual citizens be elected to the National Assembly.

According to the Constitution, to be a King of TurtleShroom, one must be a natural born TurtleShroomer. That means that the candidate is born, hatched, or germinated within the borders of TurtleShroom, or in territory subject to formal TurtleShroomian control.

The Constitution is silent on dual citizenship, but no creature can hold another office while serving in a government position. Also, all creatures serving in public office must be citizens of TurtleShroom.
