Pretext:
A recent law passed by parliament, The immigration and Citizenship Act, that was signed by the king on the 18th of April, 2025 states that," A ‘citizen’ is a player who has passed a citizenship exam and has the full rights and abilities of a citizen within Alexandria." I believe that this provision, as well as the entire Immigration and Citizenship Act, is unconstitutional and violates the rights of any non-citizen that lives within the borders of Alexandria.
Facts:
I - The existing constitution of the Kingdom of Alexandria lacks a clear definition and criteria for granting citizenship.
II - The existing constitution of the Kingdom of Alexandria does not give Parliament the authority to grant citizenship.
III - Provisions in the current immigration law violate the constitution directly. For example:
The constitution states," The following rights and freedoms are guaranteed, subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law that are justified in a free and democratic society."
Section (5) - Residents
(2) Residents have all rights and abilities of a citizen, but may not receive security clearances or run for public office.
This provision goes against the guaranteed freedoms and rights provided by the constitution, as it specifically does not mention that you need to be a citizen to run for office, whereas it specifies in later provisions that citizens are given specific rights. This illustrates two things: One, that the founders specifically included citizenship on some provisions but not others, giving the legislature no right to prevent rights from being given to non-citizens. Two, the law makes unreasonable limits which are not justified and go against our free society.
IV. The Immigration and Citizenship act places an undue burden on immigrants and residents of the Kingdom of Alexandria.
As it stands currently, the Immigration and Citizenship Act places two tests in the way of immigrants who arrive from foreign lands. The first being the Residency Exam and the second being the Citizenship Exam. These tests are akin to that of a poll tax or literacy test, are we such a low society to not realize that placing these barriers could serve to deter or push would-be citizens away?
May I further point out that the Residency Exam must be passed with a 100% score and the Citizenship Exam with an 80% score. What would happen to a poor soul who maybe mistypes or selects an answer question and is all of a sudden barred from becoming a citizen or resident? This is not only unfair but excessive punishment to immigrants or residents who wish to become citizens.
V. The law bars "tourists" of Alexandria from voting in elections, becoming employed, opening bank accounts, opening a business, owning property, and receiving grants in the Kingdom of Alexandria.
This fundamentally goes against the "life, liberty, and security" clause of the Constitution as, not only does the clause gives no mention of "citizen", but there is no way a tourist could survive, thrive, or defend themselves without being able to access these fundamental services that are only given to citizens.
Furthermore, as a current player of StateCraft, I cannot do any of these things and have to rely on the timing and decision of someone else to determine whether I get these supposed "guaranteed rights" or not.
VI. Those who do not agree with the political or governmental structure of the Kingdom of Alexandria are put at a disadvantage and can ultimately be discriminated against in any citizenship process.
When on the server, after saying my views of my distaste with the kingdom and recent legislation, I was threatened with having my life taken and also not being able to get citizenship as I was a "traitor".
VII. This lawsuit is being made after RealImza v. Crown, Case 1 (Ch. 2025), in which the Immigrant and Citizenship Act was going through Parliament, the court stated that," The Chancery does not see the need to grant an answer to this question at this time." Further stating that." A proposal within Parliament has been brought that clarifies this question soundly fails the test of having a reasonable and effective means to challenge the law."
Further grounds to hold off a firm decision was due to the reasoning that," Put simply, this issue is one that has not directly harmed the Petitioner."
As a member of the minority who now falls under the new law's jurisdiction and who is also not legally a citizen, further as someone who has been directly affected by this new law, I believe I have firm grounds to challenge the law in court.
Claims For Relief:
I. The Immigration and Citizenship Act, by abruptly and arbitrarily denying me, the plaintiff, an opportunity to obtain citizenship, unlawfully deprives my rights guaranteed by the Constitution, including equality under the law, participation in governance, and due process protections.
II. I, the plaintiff, assert that the Immigration and Citizenship Act, by its structure and timing, unfairly deprives me of the opportunity to obtain citizenship, and places an undue burden on Tourists and Residents to obtain citizenship, thereby denying my fundamental constitutional rights.
III. The Constitution of Alexandria, while silent on explicit citizenship criteria, enshrines core principles including equality under the law, participation in governance, and due process protections. By imposing new, restrictive standards that have directly impacted me, a player who joined after the law was signed into effect, the Act violates these constitutional guarantees. Specifically, if I would have joined a mere week sooner, I would have qualified for citizenship under the fact that all previous residents were automatically grandfathered in. In this notion, I am being treated completely differently and unfairly under the law compared to a "citizen" who was grandfathered in, and does not have to go through any of the troubles the Immigration and Citizenship Act outline.
Just to be extra sure, because I know that the defense loves to use the General Court Rules and Procedures card, I have ensured that these claims are within the outlined provisions and give me cause to sue in this court.
With this in mind, I request that the court rule on these following reliefs:
I. That the Immigration and Citizenship Act is unconstitutional and violates the my rights under the Constitution, specifically the right to equality, political participation, and due process.
II. That the Court issue an injunction preventing the enforcement of the Act as applied to individuals who were residents of Alexandria before the Act’s enactment, until a more equitable and constitutionally sound process is established.
III. That I be granted citizenship or provided an alternative means to gain citizenship under conditions that do not violate constitutional rights.
