IES Regulations Enacted 19 August 2012

Updated April 2014

Immigration (and through it IES) should achieve the following goals:

1. Prevent hostiles from gaining citizenship
2. Ensuring our own people and ATO voters can enter as needed
3. Allowing good, upstanding immigrants the opportunity to become eAmerican without
conflicting with 1 and 2

To achieve these ends, Congress hereby enacts the following:

1. Citizenship for people from hostile nations or nations aligned with hostiles shall be flat
out denied (except in cases involving 2 through 4 below)

2. Members of the official armed forces (USAF) OR members of American militias in good
standing desiring to gain/regain citizenship shall put in a request with their CO and the
CO and/or SecDef should relay the request to IES for review and approval; in the case
of militia organizations, the SecDef must decide if the militia is in good standing before
IES will process a request from that militia

3. ATO voters shall be able to attain citizenship after going through IES, CIA, FEC, or other
recognized ATO programs in order to assist with blocking, ATO voting, or increasing
party memberships for ATO purposes -- in order to prevent abuse of citizenship by allied
ATO voters, a master list of approved ATO voters shall be compiled by IES and such
people denied running for office unless they go through the process for standard
immigration below

4. Well known public US citizens with foreign citizenship may regain citizenship so long as
they pass IES clearance and have not participated in activities overseas that would
disqualify them for citizenship (ie, tanking for enemies nations and other reasons)

5. Standard immigration shall be limited to a set number of passes per month, which shall
be equal to twice the number of non-censured Congressmen who sign-in to Congress at
the start of the term. The total number of passes for a month shall not exceed 60
passes, regardless of sign-in numbers. In order to qualify for standard immigration, IES
shall conduct background checks and interviews with applicants; interviews shall seek to
determine the familiarity of the applicant with eUS customs and policies, in an attempt to
ensure only applicants who are interested in joining the eUS society and meta-game (ie,
interviews only on forum or IRC) are approved; this does not guarantee that the max
available passes will be granted; if fewer applicants pass, then only those who pass will
be granted CS

6. Allied or neutral nation military unit commune holders seeking citizenship for RM
bonuses shall have their request forwarded by the CP/MoFA/MoD of their home nation
 to the eUS' CP/SecState/SecDef; If the executive approves of the request, it will be
forwarded to IES for review and approval; both IES and Executive must approve an
application for such purposes; applicants granted under this clause shall be restricted
from running for office

7. All citizenship applications that don't fall into the above categories will be denied

8. In order to determine the hostile/friendly status of a nation, IES shall refer to: the United
States' list of currently approved MPPs, the advise of the Executive staff (POTUS and
SecState), and the state of general relations with a nation and its public; IES is not
bound to follow the Executives directions in this matter if there is a valid reason to
believe the citizens of a foreign nation are a threat to national security

To enforce the above rules, Congress dictates the following responses in cases of a
breach of IES procedures:

For Congressmen:
● -Congressmen who grant citizenship to anyone not approved through the above systems
shall receive an automatic censure from Congress; this shall be automatic regardless of
who the Congressman or citizen is
● -The term of the censure shall be determined by the date the Speaker of the House is
made aware of an unlawful citizenship approval and shall last until the end of the current
term. If there is less than 15 days remaining in the current term, the censure shall last
until the end of the subsequent term.
● -Upon second infraction by a Congressman who has previously been censured for
unlawful citizenship approval, said Congressman shall receive an automatic censure
from Congress for three months thereafter.
● -This censure may only be overturned by a vote of Congress; this vote may be started
by a normal proposal and vote OR the Speaker may move it directly to a vote at his own
discretion; the Speaker may not overturn any such censure by his own authority
● -Upon third infraction by a Congressman who has previously been censured for unlawful
citizenship approval, said Congressman shall receive an automatic blacklist from
Congress for constituting a PTO threat.
● -Any Congressman who grants citizenship to an enemy agent or national shall receive a
censure and a vote shall be started to determine adding that Congressman to the
permanent Congressional blacklist (to be maintained on an appropriate forum where it
may be publicly viewed) censuring them from all future Congresses unless overturned
by a vote of Congress

For applicants:
● -People who solicited Congressmen to illegally accept their application shall be
immediately blacklisted from Congress until overturned by a vote of Congress

For parties:
● -Should a party run such a blacklisted person for Congress and subsequently not
remove the candidate after being informed of the blacklisting, the PP and/or political
officers of that party (should they be in Congress) shall be censured in accordance with
the above rules for Congressmen
