Deportation
5440
Despite commendable efforts, the USA has been unable to prevent the AFA from
being a top 5 party this month. So, how will we be able to beat them? Is it possible to just deport them all?
The general consensus has been that a deportation system would not be very feasible. The main argument seem to be that in addition to being able to deport undesirable citizens, some(or all) of our loyal citizens could also be deported, depending on who is in power. The capability for potentially anyone to be able to deport people they don't like is often seen as the fatal flaw of an in-game deportation system. The other reason many think that a deportation system is unlikely, is that the admins have yet to incorporate one, despite there being calls for it in the past.
With few other options left, the possibility of a deportation system is worth a second look, especially if Plato could actually be swayed to add one. Instead of making everyone deportable, why not just make it only
immigrants? that's how it works in real life anyway, right? If a statute of limitations was also added(say 100 days after immigration), then a nation's loyal long-time immigrants would be naturalized and not have to worry. Another possibility would be to make a waiting period before attempting to return after being deported, that would increase each time. Additionally, stiffening the current immigration system could also turn out to be just as effective.
The president and/or some percentage of congress would most likely be the ones making the call on who to deport. Of course, in our case the president or a small percent of congress would be more helpful. Without a consistent stream of new immigrants, PTOers are left to rely almost solely on multies in order to increase their numbers, as new PTO recruits constantly get sent back. It's not perfect, in that multies and native trouble makers can still try to organize a PTO, but deportation would certainly be a blow to their numbers.
Just an attempt to get the ball rolling on the idea, if you have any thoughts on improvements, comments, etc. that'd be good as well.

Hopefully I haven't overlooked something crucial.
"Despite comendable efforts, the USA has been able to prevent the AFA from

dont you mean hasn't 😛
Yes, or unable. Edited thanks.
LoL comendable ? grammar fail....
and Torrin=n00b gone horribly wrong.
He is like a new Josh Whitehead.
RGR why is it you are always insulting people lol. You claim to be this high and mighty non troll. When all you do is troll.
It's actually spelling, not grammar. Anyhow, thanks for the help, but are you going to comment on the content as well as correct typos? Although, I'm sure I could learn much on sporadic capitalization and putting spaces before question marks.
I like the idea, I'm wiling to campaign for it. Besides a "100 day" option you could keep track of original CS and only be able to be deported from countries you did not originally start the game in. Just another thought. If anyone has other ideas I'd love to hear from them though, this would be an amazing feature to add.
We have been talking about this awesome feature for a little bit in congress. It would be fanfrickingtastic
admin.. i'd buy gold to be able to deport ajay n cg
me too rofl
I have advocated an immigration system, where Congressman still give out CS, but they cannot vote for 3 months (during which they will have "green card" status and all other privileges that come with citizenship) AND they may be deported at any time by the executive back to their previous country. After the 3 months if they have not been deported they become naturalized citizens.
I agree with this as well. All admins care about is buying gold. I think deportation should be available at a price. For some citizens I think it would be worth it.
I'm sure that there is something that we can do about the AFA party.
New Josh Whitehead? Sounds like a compliment imo.
^Whitehead was once a young player who I took under my wing. He did some pretty decent work as our party statistician, but then he turned sour.
Voted.
Green card system would be a beautiful thing. Doesn't even have to be as long as 3 months. Hell, IES could do a tremendous amount of good if we had even a one-week window to deport people who obtain citizenship illegally.
Unfortunately this is an admin/coding issue and a pipe dream. I feel like I'm wasting time even mentioning it. But I'd love to be proven wrong on that.
I've suggested something similar with a "high court" system. A group of 5 individuals selected by the next 5 POTUS and confirmed by a 66% vote of Congress. Those 5 would have citizenship revocation power "collectively."
A member could only be removed by a 66% vote of Congress or of the other 4 court members. This process could be paid for with gold from the Country's treasury.
Deportation!! Do it Admins!!!!
biglog and LDH I hadn't thought of those, both could work pretty well. Although, if they can't vote they might be harder to spot during that period.
Dinnyin- Soliden had a simliar idea on the forums. I like the POTUS approved thing, but idk if we can hold 66% of congress in our case.
Ajay- Are you worried that you might not get to see your Serbian friends for a while?
