Hi newapaldosted ,

I'm afraid that due to your disclosures on your citizenship application and further evidence we have reviewed.  Your application for Citizenship of the United Kingdom is DENIED under Article III, Section (3)(b) of the the Citizenship and Ambassadorship Reform Act (2016).

III. Citizenship

(3) Review of an application for citizenship status shall consist of two steps, which may be completed in either order and successful completion of which shall be a prerequisite to an award of citizenship status:

(a) An Administrator must confirm, to the best extent possible, that the applicant does not already hold citizenship status in United Kingdom, is not using a proxy server and does not have an IP address matching that of any banned person or any person posing a potential threat to the region based on reliable information, as determined by the Regional Security Council.

(b) An appropriate designee of HM Government, must confirm, to the best extent possible, that the application or other reliable material does not disclose any facts precluding the granting of citizenship status.


(4) HM Government may deny an application under Section (3)(b) only if the application, an investigation, or reliable information made known to HM Government discloses that:

(a) The applicant's current or prior affiliations in NationStates preclude the grant of citizen status under a law or treaty obligation; or

(b) The applicant is subject to a court order stripping him or her of citizenship and excluding him or her from United Kingdom for a period of time;

(c) The application contains material misrepresentations or omissions; or

(d) The applicant has, in the past, engaged in what would be considered criminal conduct under United Kingdom law, and that there is a notable risk that the applicant might repeat such conduct in United Kingdom; or

(e) The applicant holds citizenship or any other form of residency in a proscribed region as determined pursuant to the Security and Defence Act (2021) at the time of submission of his or her application; or

(f) The applicant is not in fact a resident of United Kingdom.

If you disagree with this decision, you are entitled to appeal to the Crown Court of the United Kingdom under Article III, Section (7)(b).

(7) If an application for citizenship status is denied, applicants shall have the following redress:

(a) For any denial under Section (3)(a), the basis for the denial may be appealed the the Regional Security Council, but there shall be no judicial review of either the initial Administrator's decision nor of the Regional Security Council's decision.

(b) For any denial under Section (3)(b), the denial may be challenged in court by filing an action against HM Government. In such an action, the court shall review questions of law without deference to the Government's determinations but shall review questions of fact under a deferential standard whereby a finding will be upheld so long as the Government has evidence sufficient such that a reasonable person could reach the Government's factual conclusion.

If you want to appeal, please let myself or another member of the Admin team know and we can make arrangements to give you access to the Courts and help you appoint counsel.

If you have any further questions or require any additional help.  Please feel free to let me know via a DM on forum or on Discord.
