This may have been posted somewhere before, but as the editor of this magazine feels strongly on the issue after the recent Hungarian takeover, it is reprinted here in the Axe.
There is an online petition at this site which encourages people to sign for citizenship in eRepublic. Quoted from the opening statement:
"Citizenship could consist of choosing a nationality and having to stay with that nationality for a set period of time. You could only vote in elections for the country of your nationality. You could pay 2 gold to immediately change your nationality if desired. This would make takeovers too time consuming and costly to be a viable option."
Due to the recent takeover by the Hungarians, I fully support this petition. It would require a person to choose their country of origin wisely and help to stop the political takeover of smaller, less populated countries from bigger ones, offering a measure of protection. Another article, Citizenship Now!, has been published that goes over the point more eloquently than the editor of this paper could ever state.
Thank you.

Voted! And signed a few days ago.
Voted, and thanks for the reference. I'll be publishing an open letter to the admins in a few days to show them how successful my spam-article was - Number one article in 14 countries!

You're very welcome, Aran. I think this is an issue close to the Norweigan people's hearts because of the recent TO. If something like this had been instituted beforehand, it may not have happened. It's impossible to say for sure, of course, but at any rate it's a good idea and would be a reflection of the "real world". At least, in America, you can't vote until you have citizenship and I'm assuming other democratic countries are similar.
