Act 27

Citizenship Act 2015

This Act of Council hereby establishes a more detailed system for citizenships in the Empire of Adammia, expanding on what is defined in the Supreme Directive.

Section 1

  • a) Only human individuals may be granted citizenship in the Empire of Adammia by the bodies that have that power under the Supreme Directive.
  • b) In order for citizenship to be granted to an individual, the Ministry of Citizenship must have, at a minimum, the following information: either-
    • i) The full name and date of birth of the individual, in which case the citizen will be known by their full name; or
    • ii) The first name and date of birth of the individual, and the general location (towns, villages, cities, administrative divisions or regions) where the individual resides, in which case the citizen will be known by “[first name] of [location]”.
  • c) The Ministry of Citizenship is to maintain an active database of all Adammic citizens containing the information described in subsection b) and optional additional information, such as contact details, if it so desires.
  • d) If a full Adammic citizen residing in Adammic territory gives birth to an individual who will also reside in Adammic territory, the full citizen must, as soon as possible, inform the Ministry of Citizenship of this birth, providing, at a minimum, the details required by subsection b), and the Ministry of Citizenship shall grant this individual full Adammic citizenship.
  • e) If any Adammic citizen is found to have died, other Adammic citizens who know of the citizen's death must, as soon as possible, inform the Ministry of Citizenship, and the Ministry of Citizenship shall revoke the deceased individual's citizenship and wipe their entry from the main database, though it may retain the relevant information elsewhere.

Section 2

  • a) 10 years after an individual becomes an honourary citizen of Adammia (following either being a full citizen or a non-citizen), if this honourary citizenship has been continuous and if the honourary citizen has not contacted the Ministry of Citizenship to renew their citizenship in that time, the honourary citizenship of the individual will expire and the Ministry of Citizenship shall revoke their citizenship and wipe their entry from the main database, though it may retain the relevant information elsewhere.
  • b) If a full citizen has not at any point in the past year either-
    • i) Lived within Adammic territory; or
    • ii) Been officially employed, according to the records of the National Employment Agency; or
    • iii) Voted in any election or referendum organised by the Office of State
  • then the Ministry of Citizenship shall downgrade the citizen from full citizenship to honourary citizenship.
  • c) A full citizen, not living within Adammic territory, or an honourary citizen may at any point contact the Ministry of Citizenship to request that their citizenship be revoked. The Ministry of Citizenship must comply with this request and wipe the citizen's entry from the main database, though it may retain the relevant information elsewhere.

Section 3

  • a) The Ministry of Citizenship's main citizen database shall be classified at a Restricted level under the Defence Act 2015.
  • b) The Ministry of Citizenship shall not share information about any citizen or former citizen with any organisation without that citizen or former citizen's permission, except for some purpose required under Adammic or macronational law.

Section 4

  • a) The citizen ID card project began by Imperial Decree VIII, transferred to the Ministry of Citizenship by the Government Ministries Act 2013, is cancelled. The Ministry of Citizenship is no longer required to make ID cards for as many citizens as possible. However, any ID cards issued as part of the ID card project shall still be considered a valid form of ID where required by Adammic law.
