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 - Per the General Court Rules and Procedures, If a citizen has “a genuine interest as a citizen and there are no reasonable and effective alternative means to challenge the law.” then they have a standing application to pursue a case.
II - The Constitution of the Kingdom of Alexandria gives exclusive jurisdictions to the High Court over “constitutional questions, including the interpretation and application of the Constitution.”
Prayer for Relief:
1 - A declaration that the Plaintiff qualifies as a Citizen.
2. An Order that the Plaintiff be declared a Citizen of the Kingdom of Alexandria, with all the rights prescribed in the Constitution.
3. That the court set this case as precedent and a guide regarding citizenship that all players who enter our lands are offered immediate citizenship.
