CITIZENSHIP REQUEST PROCESS AMENDMENT
A Regional Code Amendment to refine the citizenship process by implementing a formal request and removal process.
1. Chapter 1, Clauses 2 and 3 of the Legal Code shall be amended to read:
2. All residents of The Versutian Federation may apply for citizenship in the region by creating a forum account using their forum account, by stating their nation in The Versutian Federation and requesting to be made a citizen.
3. Any citizen who leaves the region for longer than one day; ceases to exist for longer than one day; or is so ordered by the Court will have their status as a citizen revoked.
2. The following clauses shall be inserted into Chapter 1 of the Legal Code, and all subsequent clauses shall be renumerated accordingly:
3. The Minister of Immigration will be responsible for verifying the residency of all applicants during the citizenship request process and monitoring the residency of existing citizens, and may request the assistance of the other Regional Officers in executing this duty.
4. Forum Administration will be responsible for verifying the unique identity of all applicants' forum accounts so that no individual has more than one forum account, is evading a ban or judicial punishment, or is utilizing a proxy.
5. Requests for citizenship will be invalid if at any time prior to being made a citizen the applicant's nation no longer resides in The Versutian Federation, Forum Administration cannot verify their unique identity, their citizenship was previously revoked by the Court and the revocation has not yet expired, or they are part of a region at war with The Versutian Federation.
6. If an applicant's request is not deemed invalid for any of the preceding reasons, and the applicant has been a continuous resident of The Versutian Federation for at least one week since arriving or returning to the region, the Minister of Immigration will promptly approve the request.
7. The Minister of Immigration will promptly inform Parliament whenever an applicant's request is approved or rejected and initiate all procedures needed to update that applicant's status and roles in the region.
8. Any citizen who leaves the region for longer than one day; ceases to exist for longer than one day; or is so ordered by the Court will have their status as a citizen revoked.
9. The Minister of Immigration will promptly inform Parliament whenever an individual's citizenship lapses and initiate all procedures needed to update that individual's status and roles in the region.
10. In the event an individual's lack of residency would have triggered revocation of citizenship but the Minister of Immigration did not inform Parliament before residency was re-established, that individual's citizenship will be considered to have remained in effect without lapse.
4. Forum Administration will be responsible for verifying the unique identity of all applicants' forum accounts so that no individual has more than one forum account, is evading a ban or judicial punishment, or is utilizing a proxy.
5. Requests for citizenship will be invalid if at any time prior to being made a citizen the applicant's nation no longer resides in The Versutian Federation, Forum Administration cannot verify their unique identity, their citizenship was previously revoked by the Court and the revocation has not yet expired, or they are part of a region at war with The Versutian Federation.
6. If an applicant's request is not deemed invalid for any of the preceding reasons, and the applicant has been a continuous resident of The Versutian Federation for at least one week since arriving or returning to the region, the Minister of Immigration will promptly approve the request.
7. The Minister of Immigration will promptly inform Parliament whenever an applicant's request is approved or rejected and initiate all procedures needed to update that applicant's status and roles in the region.

9. The Minister of Immigration will promptly inform Parliament whenever an individual's citizenship lapses and initiate all procedures needed to update that individual's status and roles in the region.
10. In the event an individual's lack of residency would have triggered revocation of citizenship but the Minister of Immigration did not inform Parliament before residency was re-established, that individual's citizenship will be considered to have remained in effect without lapse.
