Post by: Cormac on March 02, 2015, 03:55:48 AM

A motion has been introduced and seconded to adopt the following Act of the Ecclesia:

Quote from: Noble Houses Act

1. The government of Taijitu, when acting in an official capacity, will not recognize any noble house or title.
2. If a foreigner belonging to a noble house applies for citizenship, it will be granted. However, the citizen will be referred to by the government of Taijitu, when acting in an official capacity, as "Citizen [name]", and no reference will be made to their counterrevolutionary pedigree.
3. If a foreigner belonging to a noble house is assigned here as a dignitary, or resides in Taijitu without acquiring citizenship, they will be referred to by the government of Taijitu, when acting in an official capacity, by their name only, and no reference will be made to their counterrevolutionary pedigree.
4. Citizens and foreign residents will be encouraged to avoid personal use of noble names or titles in Taijitu, as a demonstration of respect for the egalitarian principles of the Glorious Revolution.

Citizens may vote for or against the measure or abstain from voting. Voting will last for five days. The original discussion can be found here (http://forum.taijitu.org/proposals-and-discussions/on-noble-houses/).
