[DRAFT] Buy One, Get One Passport Free!

[Chan Island]

Not 5 minutes after the international community passed a new round of sanctions and travel restrictions on Marche Noir, has its richest citizen offered to pay your government top @@CURRENCY@@ for a @@DENONYM@@ passport.

validity: all

[option] “AAANNND here we are!” exclaims embassy official @@RANDOMNAME@@, already holding the sought-after document in their hand. After examining the faces around them, they ask,”What? It’s a massive wad of cash, and our coffers - you and mine- could always use the boost.For the noble cause of letting them finally go on holiday as normal. What’s the worst that can happen?”
[effect] the nation’s passports are normally assumed to be fraudulent

[option] “I’m not so sure about this…” hesitates @@RANDOMNAME@@, the new Minister of Moral Choices. “The @@DENONYM@@ citizenship should be a sacred thing, with well-established rules about how to get it. We can’t just let anyone buy it without even stepping foot in our country. Especially coming from a country everyone else is loading with sanctions. The world should be warned about these corrupt and nefarious schemes.”
[effect] the nation has a reputation of being a Boy Scout

[option] “Damn, that’s a good point,” ponders union representative @@RANDOMNAME@@, while stroking their handlebar moustache. “What good does all this money do if it’s not going into the hands of the hard-working, working class @@DENONYMPLURAL@@? If this guy wants our passport so bad, then they should at least do something for us, like investing in our communities, contracting a construction project or at least make their first nice holiday be here. My union members would gladly help out…”
[effect] future citizens gawk at hundreds of unfinished buildings

[option] A hooded figure walks inside to the sound of lightning. After taking off the coat and shaking it dry from the rain, @@RANDOMNAME@@ gives you an unusual looking document. “Finally, someone worthy actually wants to be our citizen?! Most qualified business attaché in the history of ever? Forget regular passports, we should hire them in our government and offer a diplomatic passport. Give them official orders, let their every travels be as esteemed representatives of our own government, and let the future be bright!”
[effect] no @@DENONYM@@ ever represents the nation in international summits

I think it would be better to specify the country, especially if they are one of your enemies. That would add an interesting dynamic, especially in regards to national security concerns.

Whaaaaaaat? I haven't seen a Chan draft in a loooooong time!

Looking a the premise, I think we need to tighten it up a little bit. I agree with Outer that you should specify the country the person is coming from. In addition, I think we need to flesh out why this person is wanting these things. There is a difference between granting someone citizenship and giving them a passport, too. Is this person scared they are going to be persecuted in their home country? Or do they just want to become a @@DEMONYM@@ citizen just for fun? I would explain in the description (or at least in the first option, which I would also make the speaker be the person in question) the reason for wanting citizenship in the first place and get rid of the passport part.

I'll pop back in after the premise gets tightened and look at the options.

Edits done to add to why this is being done and which country they are from.

I’ve decided to keep to focussing more on the rich playboy style of passport buying, as this is one of the most common in the real world, even if it’s perhaps not as emotionally visceral as some other suggestions in this thread.

Whaaaaaaat? I haven't seen a Chan draft in a loooooong time!

And when the world needed him most… our hero stayed missing, but at least Chan Island posted a new draft.
