Some proposed minor style tweaks to make tense and auxiliary verbs consistent and remove (what I think is) redundant language:

Quote
1. The government of Taijitu, when acting in an official capacity, will not recognize any noble house or [st]any[/st] title [st]therefrom derived, foreign or otherwise[/st].
2. If a foreigner belonging to a noble house applies for citizenship, it [st]shall[/st] [in]will[/in] 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 [st]shall[/st] [in]will[/in] 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 [st]are[/st] [in]will be[/in] encouraged[st], but not required,[/st] to avoid personal use of noble names or titles in Taijitu, as a demonstration of respect for the egalitarian principles of the Glorious Revolution.

Are we trying to make "Ecclesia" serious (or Ecclesia material) something that is not as effective as blunt beheading or arson RP?
