I did something nine months ago. No, not something resulting in a pregnancy, it was much less romantic than that. I wrote a petition about implementing citizenship in eRepublik.

Have you heard it before?

Start of repost of 9 month old article.

Dear Gamedevelopers,

I think you should implement Citzenship so that people can't go from their designated home country to another and Vote there, but still be able to travel to another country and vote in their home country. Just as in real life.
We should be able to change citizenship by applying for a new one (this could even cost 2 gold and make you rich! Or as Hiddencrypt suggested, the fee could be set by the Congress - might be even better) and then it would take 30 days of living in the new country until you got the new citizenship for that country.
Erepublik is at the moment designed to be military stable and politically unstable. With the implemention of Citizenship you would make it more politically stable. A game that is both Military Stable and Politically Stable is however not a very fun game to play, so you should lower the Wall points with 2/3'rds or boost the 'damage' points with 300 per cent do fix that.
A game that is politically stable and military unstable has a good chance of beeing fun, just like Risk and Civilization.
Hope you will consider this. I have posted this as a suggestion on the forum also - where you can find Hiddencrypts great comment among others. http://www.erepublik.com/en/forum/topic/79773/implement-citizenship/1

If you read the comments you would find that this idea was kind of new back then.

Now when the Game Developers have started talking about Citizenship I can't help thinking of Haeckel's first step picture.



So what will Citizenship in eRepublik be like - it starts out very similar with ideas.

- Will it be the fishy so big fishes will continue to eat smaller fishes?
- Will it take a frog leap into something new and unexpected?
- Will it create a turtle mode where citizens and countries hides under their shells?
- Will it be buggy and we will see lots of headless chickens running around like, you got it, headless chickens?
- Or will it be a baby we all can be proud of?
