Citizenship FAQ and launch date
Dear citizens,
We have promised to answer the most pertinent questions of yours regarding the citizenship module in a new Insider. The subject was too complicated to be clarified in just one Insider, so, here we go:
1.Will it be necessary that ALL Congress members accept a citizenship request, in some sort law voting for citizenship? Isn't that going to flood the Congress? activity
No, citizenship is offered personally and manually by a Congress member. There is no law, just a list from which Congress members can chose to whom to give citizenship by simply accepting his/her application.
2. A maximum of 10 % of a country's population possibly being offered citizenship, means a lot. With just one infiltrated congressman, citizenship can be granted to hundreds for a PTO attempt, right?
Actually this is not true. This is because each congress member can only grant citizenship to a maximum number of people out of the total number possible (total number= 10 % of country population). So, in a country with 10.000 citizens, and 40 congressmen, it turns out that an “infiltrated” spy could offer citizenship to a maximum of 25 people. No congressman can grant 26 in a mandate of one month, regardless of how many citizenships are still available out of the initial 1000.
3. Will it be possible to see which congressman has accepted a specific citizenship application via the citizenship module?
Yes, the citizenship application list is divided into two areas: pending applications and accepted applications. Accepted applications lists all the citizens that received citizenship in the last 10 days and also the congressman that pushed the “Yes” button.
4. Is there some sort of “letter of intention” which citizens can fill in when they apply for citizenship?
Yes, citizens are requested to write a message explaining why they want citizenship, which will be visible to Congress Members reading their applications. This will be your opportunity to persuade Congress members to accept your application!
5. Are you a citizen of your region as well? Or, say, can you still move to vote for someone else in another region of your same country in congressional elections?
Citizenship refers to countries, not regions. When you move to another region of your citizenship country, you gain all the rights in that region - for example, you vote in that region for congressional elections. Only when you move to another country will you be politically “tied” to the last region you have lived back home.
6. Is it still necessary to resign from a party before leaving the country?
Yes, you still have to resign from your party prior to moving to another country.
7. How about the moving industry? You doomed oil/tickets!
We are considering some improvements of the economic system in the future, so the moving industry will be closely analyzed. Until then, as any market, it will automatically adjust based on offer/demand law.
8. What happens if the region you live in is conquered? Will I get automatically citizenship of the conquering country, or will I retain my original citizenship?
For citizens having citizenship in the losing country, their citizenship will not be affected. They will be considered to be living in a foreign country therefore they will be able to apply for citizenship in the wining country, if they desire. If they chose to keep their original citizenship, during congressional elections they will vote in the capital of their citizenship country (losing country). Normally, citizens in diaspora vote in the last region they have lived back home. But if that region is conquered, they are automatically switched as they would have lived in the capital region of the country last time.
9. What happens if my entire country is conquered?
Just like in the conquered-region case, your citizenship remains unchanged if your country is completely conquered. But in this case, you will not be able to vote anywhere. However, you can ask for citizenship in another country. Or you can start a resistance war to liberate your country.
10.What happens if a resistance war succeeds and a country re-appears on the map?
The newly liberated country will have no Congress at the moment of the liberation. Until a Congress is formed, the citizenship requests in this country will be automatically accepted.
11. How about the countries that do not exist right now?
Any new country appearing on the map will automatically accept citizenship requests, until the first Congress is elected. After that, only new citizens registering in the game will receive their citizenship automatically.
12.How about if I live in a region which in RL belongs to my country, but in eRepublik belongs to another country? Which one's citizenship will I be offered?
When the citizenship module comes live, everybody will be offered citizenship of the country that owns the region in which they live. In this case, you will be given citizenship in the foreign country. In order to avoid that, you should move to a region that still belongs to your country prior to citizenship implementation.
Another modifications that might interest you: the new countries to be added in eRepublik will receive only national currency and no GOLD, and also their protections against attacks has been extended from 45 days to 60 days. So, no GOLD for new countries and no attacks allowed in the first 60 days.
Well, these would be the main ideas, we hope we have answered most of your questions. We would like to emphasize that such a complex feature like the citizenship module has no “perfect solution,” that could be both realistic and technically possible. One way or another there will still be citizens that are not 100 % satisfied. Our team carefully analyzed all your feedback, suggestions, proposed solutions (we thank you one more time for helping us) until we finally decided to come up with this concept. And we are hopeful that the new citizenship module will bring us one step closer to our goal, to provide you a richer experience in eRepublik.
We said that citizenship module will come live in about two weeks? We are sorry, we were wrong with our estimation...the citizenship module will be implemented sooner!
The big moment comes at 1 AM (eRepublik time) in day 617! So be sure to be home, in the country you want citizenship, preferably no later than day 616. You have four days left! It would be a good idea to spread this news and tell all your friends to move back home these days.

The eRepublik Team

Cool. Voted
good to hear
ou yes:)
Thanks for the info
nice, thanks guys for the citizenship
First page!~YES!
CiTIZENSHIP FTW
Thanks
Citizenship at last!
Thank you!
Nahhh bacalá
This is going to be a quality implementation, methinks.
Voted.
The system seems to be nice but there are some floats after all.
finally
Viva la citizenship
Only one more PEACE PTO to try and fend off
Question nr.10 looks like epic fail.
Small country getting freed gets insta TO-ed easily still.
Good job ! The first great news after a long,long period.
After all,it seems that is not a bad ideea listening to your clients
thank you! voted
It sounds weird that citizens of conquered regions will have no political rights in their new countries. This way even the most populated countries can be erased without the occupier having to worry about it's internal politics.
e ali ne mogu da verujem kako mogu da budu brzi kada nesto zele,a za KiM nas zamajavaju 100 god! xD
stvarno su gadovi!
It sounds very good! But I think that if a country is conquered, you should be able to keep that citizenship and still be able to get the new country's citizenship. It wouldn't do any harm, and it would be good to see the statistics, mainly population, of the conquered country still.
point 9 seems a little unfair ...
"10.What happens if a resistance war succeeds and a country re-appears on the map?
The newly liberated country will have no Congress at the moment of the liberation. Until a Congress is formed, the citizenship requests in this country will be automatically accepted."
-can be easily PTO'od!
but still, a nice implantation!
Erm. 46th? But I guess this means that early PTOs are still entirely possible against countries unable to control citizenship requests before the first congress elections.
Voted!
What about raw materials?
Finally!
We will see the quality of this implementation when you will see how many foreigners will move to other countries to get their citizenship, and rape the country after the next election. We will see the quality of this implementation when multiaccounting becomes even more popular than it is now.
Protection of new countries from coups is still the same as ever - zero. The one thing people wanted you to fix you kept unchanged. Sure, you took out the 1000 gold incentive. It was about damn time, though new countries will be forced to live in poverty, and still you keep the money there for anyone to steal and use as a blackmailing chip.
How about not allowing people to move it from the treasury for 2 Congress terms? Should be enough time for new countries to have some amount of native players to stop these nauseating thefts.
win!
Oh yeah.
nice
Finally ='
Maybe new countries should get the 1000 gold when (just before) the protection stops?
ok, I have a question which wasn't answered here....
what if theres a new country, and a bunch of people have taken over that country, trough getting Congress. and those Congressman are declining all the citizenship requests?
Also, can you send a citizenship request more than once a month? If so, how many times?
please answer the above. other than that, this seems like a well thought out idea. Congrats Admins :]
57TH
Conquered people REALLY get screwed over in this deal.
Businesses lose their ability to operate, unless they can buy a market license, and citizens lose their political voice. Way to disenfranchise massive amounts of people.
Yeah, I love it!
WTH.. why would you even think about removing the 1000 gold bonus for new countries? How else would they be able to kick-start their economies or buy hospitals?
As Erwin Schauman said, you've practically done nothing to prevent further TOs and at the same you've seriously crippled the new countries. Way to go.
Im A little concerned about the citizens of conquered regions, they deserve some imput politically, crazy for them to have to get aproval from the very folks that conquered them to vote.. talking about suppression.... Otherwise, Please fix the Economic problems...they are many! Cheers
Very impressed
great news, a little late though
Looks like tomorrow is the last great hoorah for mass PTO attempts.
good job:)
Can't wait for Day 617!
Great job, admins! Thank you for all you do to make this game great!
5 days to the citizenship
STOP COMPLAINNING. You asked for it and here it is.
Quit the game if you hate the admin so much.
All I want to be is Croat.
But south Africa is gone........I can't move back!!!!!!
wow sorry for new countries
FTW!
ARGH! I CAN'T WAIT 5 DAYS!
Great. Out of every bad solution, you managed to pick the worst. It takes talent to do that.

Please rethink 10.
t0ooo
i dont like this citizenship thing
What about all the new players stuck in Russian occupied USA region? Will they become Russian?
That sucks hardly and only looks like a weird limitation in exploring and living in different countries
Four days?! A bit close.
Overall, a great addition to plaster the holes in the current wall. Voted.

Darman, if they are foolhardy enough to stay in Russia..Yes.
thx
Can you still work in a country other than the one you have citizenship in? For example, can I be a citizen of eGreece and work in eUSA?
'We said that citizenship module will come live in about two weeks? We are sorry, we were wrong with our estimation...the citizenship module will be implemented sooner!'
Ok, so now someone hacked the Admin account and is playing a trick on all of us?!
Interesting to know.
9 & 10 are fail. The biggest reason people wanted citizenship was to prevent PTO, largely in small nations and you fix this absolutely no bit in this scenario.
9 and 10 is where the major takeovers are at haha.
Awesome!
good work, compliments!
Interesting.
Good job admins and programers.
What happens if lets say South Africa isnt on the map in Day 617?
No S.A will be. When the country opens whit an RW there will be noone to give citizenship. If ever request will be accepted than its going to be a big TO there and after that no chance in congress for S.A's.
thank you
Great, nice work
Votado!
101st
excellent!
What about user friendliness? Where do i find central bank, mod, red cross, important government instructions. In newspapers?
there should be tab directing into goverment institutions, forums, eschools, chat rooms. The main thing which keeps this game going is nationalism but you do not update maps. The game is grafhically like web page from 1990. Look at other MMOs and learn from them. No wonder 95% of invitees leave. 95% which will not be spreading word of mouth.
The game should incorporate tools and sell them.
Great Voted,,!
goed so
I'm glad you're making this adjustment, though it seems to have come about after PEACE has had great success with PTO's, and EDEN and Fortis are just learning how to respond.
It would've been nice to see this about four months ago.
What about those countries which have already been PTO'd and have majority foreign populations?
Do they have any hope of independence?
thanks,

Very useful info, sub
go ecanada
question 10 worries me.. but great news anyway!
voted
whooo,i need to go back in romania really fast.
hmm,organisations can move from a country to another with the new module?And organisations need to be accepted by the congressmans?
How about dual nationality?
It will be possible receive more than one citizenship?
And what about organizations? They will have citizenship too?
Nine and Ten are not fail.
The country deserves it if it gets COMPLETELY taken over.
Besides, who would want to PTO a country with only one region?
I'm thinking this module will cause more problems than it solves, but, we'll see.
this is why most people are running for congress just to test out
@Jonathan McCravy:some hungarian jokers are trying to PTO eSingapore as i type this out.. and we only got 1 region.. lol
great
To the admins, why give citizenship based on location? Clearly that gives a golden opportunity for big country (read PEACE here) to screw-up smaller country one last time (e.g. eCanada which is currently being PTO). Why not take the very easy solution of giving citizenship based on the country in which you registered??
Oh wait, that would be the obvious good solution...
So can congressmen leave the country... Or is the answer inculded in "one must still resign from party to leave"
Too little, to late to help Canada
