Tarânian Citizenship

Citizenship

'''The Tarânian Empire''' is an independent, sovereign nation within the borders of Sweden and Scotland, consisting of a flat in Stirling, Scotland and a number of houses in the Swedish village of Stärkesmark, that peacefully claimed independence from the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom in 2001, although the Swedish and British governments have yet to notice this fact.

Everyone interested in becoming a citizen of Tarânia may apply for citizenship, however in order to do so one must sign a treaty with the Imperial Crown, declaring that one will never break Tarânian as well as International Laws, always treat other peoples regardless of sex, religion, ethnicity and sexuality with respect, as any breach of these rules will result in the law breaker being expelled from the Tarânian Empire.

The Tarânian Empire allows citizens to have multiple citizenships, and uses the following rules to bestow citizenship upon a person;

Jus sanguiniis, that is if one of the parents has Tarânian citizenship, the child will automatically be considered a citizen of the Tarânian Empire

Jus soli If a citizen is borned within the borders of the Tarânian Empire, he or she are considered citizens of the Tarânian Empire and of the State wherein they reside.

Jus Matrimonii; A person will automatically gain Tarânian citizenship by marrying a Tarânian citizen

Naturalization As the lands of the Tarânian Empire are relatively small, the naturalization progress differs slightly from that of e.g the United Kingdom. Any regular visitor to the Tarânian Empire may claim citizenship through naturalization.

Apply Anyone that are willing to become a citizen of the Tarânian Empire may apply for citizenship. Citizenships are free of charge, however keep in mind that documents confirming Tarânian citizenship will only be mailed to people that include a correctly pre-stamped envelope with their request.
