Ciaotannian citizenship certificates
Yesterday at 11:23
While Ciaotannian citizenship is automatic for ordinary Ciao ( consanguinamorous and consang) people and their allies, some people might like to have a Certificate of Ciaotannian Citizenship to hang over their mantlepiece or to keep on file just for the sake of good record keeping.
It would be fairly easy for the government of Ciaotannia to print up such citizenship certificates and provide them (for a fee) to those who apply for one, or two.
Easier still, would it be for you to just design and print your own. (As you know I am hopeless at that sort of thing).
In some countries a photo of the citizen is required to be adhered onto the certificate.
In some countries the uttering of the Oath of Allegiance and the passing a citizenship test is required. (So far Ciaotannia has not made an either a requirement. But just you wait. One day we will get organized!
I think all you just need a decent colour printer and or some coloured paper (but white would do). There are plenty of examples to imitate on-line.
If you were a non-Ciao you could possibly make up your own "Empire of Ciaotannia Immigration Department Identity Certificate" to prove you are legally on our territory.

I found it quite interesting that the American oath of allegiance was changed after WWII to include a bit to say "that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law;"
Wiki says "The Internal Security Act of 1950 added the text about bearing arms and performing noncombatant service in the armed forces of the United States. The section about performing work of national importance under civilian direction was added by the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952."
"In the fall of 2003, CIS planned to change the oath of citizenship in time for Constitution Day and Citizenship Day (September 17).[18] The proposed oath was as follows:
Solemnly, freely, and without mental reservation, I hereby renounce under oath all allegiance to any foreign state. My fidelity and allegiance from this day forward is to the United States of America. I pledge to support, honor, and be loyal to the United States, its Constitution, and its laws. Where and if lawfully required, I further commit myself to defend the Constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, either by military, noncombatant, or civilian service. This I do solemnly swear, so help me God.[19]
The introduction of the new oath was scrapped by the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims on April 1, 2004.[20]"
Also quite interesting I thought was this bit
"English writer Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, applied for U.S. citizenship in 1953 after having lived in the United States for fourteen years. When asked if he would bear arms and perform noncombatant military service as required by the Oath, Huxley answered in the negative and was summoned before a judge. Huxley explained that his objection was based on philosophical convictions about the evil of war rather than religious beliefs. The judge adjourned proceedings and postponed a decision on Huxley's application in order to report to Washington. Huxley never received U.S. citizenship.[22]"
Good!
