UK new immigration policy proposal
Arhivator Cvarkov
We all can ask ourselves WHY is UK one of the weakest and smallest countries in erepublik. The answer is obvious. We do not have enough citizens. The economy suffers, the military is weak, we are constantly under a TO threat. Our budget is so empty that we can't pay basic things. For weeks we didn't have a war. Where can our citizens earn patriot points?
NOWHERE, NOTHING, NO HOPE. We are in a shitty situation. The country becomes more boring every day. Due to threat of Serbian TO, UK has implemented an unofficial blockade of accepting any citizenship applications.
I was looking in real life, and noticed Canada. Canada is a country that suffers from lack of people. And what is Canada's solution - Immigration policy.
IMMIGRATON
We need people. We have to make an immigration policy so to achieve a decent number of citizens. Now UK can count on only 1700 citizens. We are the 25th country in the world.
So there is a need to make and define an official immigration policy. We should make a comity of immigration to take care of it.
My idea is to make quotes for immigrants so to make sure no other nationality TOs the country. Especially bigger quotes for allies. Why would it be a problem if we give 100 passports to citizens of our allies?
If we use 100 passports a month we can make a boost in our numbers.
I would put a goal on reaching the number of 3000 UK citizens. It would make our military power stronger, our economy bigger. I think this is what we can do on a long term basis to help UK.

Personnally think that it"s greeat idea,but on the other hand,what will be if among those 100 passports appear some fake,or just to look like as a fake.What I"ve tried to say is if among 100 passport appears some who are weak,not have any BH medal or TP medal but only have 4.000 or 5.000 strength and not have experience in politics what so ever.Voted,subed.Greetings from Alex.
It is up to us to determine the policy. It is the next step. This is to promote immigration and to cherish it. To try to stop xenophobia that is very present in UK.
I have nothing against accepting weak accounts.. if they are not TO. And if someone is afraid of multies it is not an issue, cause multi maker can make them in our very UK.
One problem facing every country is the declining game population. With fewer players to go around, it hurts the smaller countries when they move to chase resource bonuses and wealthy MU's.
It probably wouldn't hurt if you got rid of the revolving door on the eUK treasury, either.
I think the revolving door left - no sign of Big Ant since the theft, nor of his thieving predecessor ChewChewShoe.... and good riddance to both of them. Probably worth what they both stole just to be rid of them.....
"Why would it be a problem if we give 100 passports to citizens of our allies?

You see, he want a PTO...
Chris stop acting as a clown.
Do you realize that Croatia is one of the biggest PTO countries is in the game?? If you do mass immigration they will PTO us.
Yes, we know that Croatia is one of the biggest PTO countries ... OTOH Serbia IS the BIGGEST and you are a Serbian supporter so the obvious response is that "you would say that wouldn't you" paraphrasing MRD.
great idea.
now, a agenda should be set.
Olllaaa
I've supported this for a while.
Put a % cap on each alliance and nationality, would have stopped the Serbian PTO before it started but oh well...
More Trollku spin and lies you fully supported Diaper when he threatened to declare ware on the eUK by importing Serbs......
Worm tounge
If you go back and look at my posts and comments, you'll see me promoting balance between serbs and polish.
Of course Vistulus gonna Vistulus and make it up.
As you very well know that is just not true. Vistulus gonna Vistulus and point out that you are a liar.
pr00f links pl0x or your both liars

Oh look it's TUP opposing an immigration system again. Do I get an apology?
It's fairly common for TUP accounts to appear out of inactivity (so they don't know what is going on) to accuse you of being a liar with no evidence, then go back to sleep.
Here we go ooooohhh evil TUP spin.......
Tell me Trollku..... who fought against the eUK and who was banned for cheating........ come on not a hard question,...... how's your memory???
The Serbian PTO didn't really rely on people being allowed in by unsuspecting eUK congressmen, they had a whole party actively trying to import as many Serbians as possible. I don't really see the need for a % cap on any one nationality, just a system to help congressmen to do their due diligence before giving out CS passes.
It might be nice if someone (MoHA maybe?) would publish an analysis of who was coming in each month though, might help us spot any worrying trends.
It's all very well trying to attract people here but you've only to look around at other countries and you will see most of your 3000 that have been here and left.
Good luck finding 100 people that want to come into occupied country with no market, no workers and no wars. If I had 100 passports to give to, say, Serbs, I wouldn't find 5 of them willing to come here, for PTO or otherwise.
Only way UK is getting new (real) citizens is by promoting this game outside this game. That's how we did it with Serbia back in 2009. Being under PTO helped a lot. So you see, even if Serbs did PTO eUK, it could only help eUK 😛
PS. Last month we had plenty of passports left, no one wanted to here. I asked friends of various nationalities to come, but they all like bonuses and gold mines a lot better than to come to eUK.
There is no one standing out side of the eUK door.
for a start you have found a lot more than 5 serbs to come here...
Not quite accurate there, most of the individuals who wanted to come here were Serbians, those who weren't a member of an enemy state or MU were checked out and granted CS. For the last few days, about 10, of my tenure as a congressman most were viewed as enemies rather than friends, so they weren't given CS
I sporadically checked for applications and I saw 4 applicants in total since congress elections. 3 were let in. We cannot see rejected ones so I can only write about what I can see. So far, the practice was (in every country) that congressmen either approve or ignore request. I personaly don't know anyone who clicked on reject button 🙂
@Teppishc:
A lot of them were here already. We pretty much can't find more people willing to come here.
I like the idea but like people said above you might struggle to find people willing to come to a small country like the eUK en masse...
No harm in trying I suppose as long as it's done sensibly to prevent possible TO situations
the difference is the LANGUAGE, many people LOVES to practice english. have you tried to learn macedonian, for example ?
That's a good point I hadn't thought of. Never Macedonian but I did almost move to eArgentina/Chile at different times to practice my spanish
UK don't need new citizens, they can make enough multies...

That proves that TO is still a danger.

This show how you really are, you are a tool of Acroc. You agree with cheating. I can only say you, in an Asteria UK this will never happens. Asteria UK will be a strong UK, we can leave Sirius and take Belgian and Dutch regions, we will have good allies and betrayers like you can go to another country
I don't think Arhivator is the one who's being a tool here.
The UK population already voted overwhelmingly to stay in Sirius in an open referendum. If you want to be in Asteria you're in the wrong country.
lol'd
multi's? all new players are multi's now?
more vendetta bullshit i see
Not enough people coming in.
Need to recruit in RL, immigrants have no reason to come to UK.
if chris1983 doesn't like it, then it is a good idea
lol. Good point.
Anyways the conclusion is that our public opinion and congress are still way to closed to some radically open minded and immigration friendly policy. Therefore I close this topic for some future time.
VC out
Looks good, voted
