The Huterric Policy on Unconditional Birthright Citizenship
A baby born in the Huterric Union is not automatically a citizen of the Huterric Union. This is ideally to prevent birth tourism as we do not want dual nationals who live elsewhere with Huterric citizenship. a baby can only be a Huterric citizen if either the mother or father is a Huterric citizen, if the mother or the father is in the process of obtaining citizenship. Other than that they obtain the citiszenship of their parents regardless of birth country.
Do babies born outside of the Huterric Union obtain citizenship if their parents are citizens of it?
No. You have to be born in the Huterric Union to obtain citizenship.
The Huterric Policy on Dual Citizenship
We only allow dual citizenship with very few countries. Other than those countries, the Huterric Union some of the strictest policies against dual citizenship. Children who are involuntarily born dual citizens of the Union by age 18 always end up with only one citizenship. If a child involuntarily born with dual Huterric citizenship is not living in the Union at age 18 and has no intent on returning they will automatically lose citizenship. If they intend on returning their citizenship will be revoked if they don't do so within 5 years. Children involuntarily born with Huterric citizenship who are living in the Union at age 15 must either take our pledge of allegiance and renounce the citizenship with the other country or choose to renounce Huterric citizenship. Their choice will come into effect at age 18 and those who do not choose to keep Huterric citizenship must apply for a visa or leave the country by age 20. Those who voluntarily obtain citizenship of another country who were Huterric citizens automatically lose their Huterric citizenship and cannot apply for permission to retain it. Those who wish to become Huterric citizens must renounce citizenship with their home country before continuing the process. The government actively takes measures to only allow those living in the Union the ability to have citizenship. DIPLOMATIC WORKERS, SUCH AS THOSE IN CONSULATES AND EMBASSIES, ARE 100% EXEMPT FROM THESE LAWS. However, their children are not.
Does the Huterric Union tax its citizens even if not living in the Huterric Union?
Mostly, yes. Most citizens, regardless of whether or not they live in the Huterric Union, are taxed. This does not apply for certain countries (THESE ARE THE SAME COUNTRIES WE ALLOW DUAL CITIZENSHIP WITH)
How long does it take to obtain citizenship with {country} voluntarily, and what does the process involve?
It depends on individual. Usually it takes 2 years from applying, but one must be living in the union for 5 years in order to be able to obtain citizenship. The first step is that the person in question must be able to drive and be able to drive on highway status roads at time of applying (this privilege is lost after 2 driving offences in the Union). The second step is to order the Life in the Huterric Union book and study from it. After 1 year the Huterric Citizenship Test will be taken, awarded by examining body QOHU (Qualifications Office of the Huterric Union). A lot of the knowledge assessed is expected to be self learnt from the prior 5-6 years of living in the Union, whereas a lot of information, such as history, politics, culture, and the Huterric language are assessed from the book, or in the case of language separately. Then if one passes one must renounce citizenship of the previous country they were a citizen of, then take our pledge of allegiance before obtaining a temporary citizen card before a permanent one, aka a "yellow card", is sent (a permanent one will be mailed within 5 working days).
