These bills are all interlinked, so I hope that you take the time to read all of them. These reforms seek to allow Assemblians with their WA membership in another NSLeft region to have the same legal and political rights as any other Assemblian, rights that they currently lack. I believe that these reforms put all the necessary safeguards in place to protect our regional security while also improving our regional democracy.

I have various concerns about the way this bill has been constructed, and I don't really support its premise, regardless. However, these are the structural issues I have with it first:
---
1. "Citizenship" is currently not something limited to WA and MV citizens - they are just the only ones who can vote in elections and the like. Narrowing citizenship merely to these categories plus the new one would deny others the various rights and freedoms they are currently entitled to. Alternatively, I would create a Section 3 of Article I of the Constitution like so:
(a) Citizens with a World Assembly nation residing in The Leftist Assembly, henceforth known as World Assembly citizens
(b) Citizens with a World Assembly nation registered with the government as participating in a leftist or anti-fascist military, henceforth known as Military Voting citizens
(c) Citizens with a World Assembly nation registered with the government as currently residing in an allied region, henceforth known as dual citizens
2. If you do use my suggestion, I recommend updating the Military Voting Citizen Act to remove section 1, as it would be specified in this part of the Constitution. This would also include amending its last Section to read appropriately. To be honest, specifying the different types of citizens is probably most appropriate for the Constitution, anyway.
2. Using that new collective group of "electoral citizens" allows for language to be significantly simplified throughout various laws. I recommend you use that instead of repeating "World Assembly, Military Voting, and dual citizens" over and over again.
3. In regards to the Dual Citizenship Bill, I think section 1 can be scrapped given its inclusion in my Proposal #1. Section 2 is also irrelevant since all citizens are guaranteed that regardless of what specific 'type' of citizen they are.
4. Law doesn't need to specify its reasoning, it just needs to outline what it is prohibiting. It also doesn't need to say that they are held to "the same standards" - this is also a given as they are a citizen. I recommend simplifying section 3 of the Dual Citizenship Bill to:
5. I generally recommend allowing a dual citizen to come from any allied region, rather than just the NSLeft. Also, it is "the NSLeft" rather than "NSLeft" (I don't like this, but it is what it is).
6. I would recommend using the same language as the Military Voting Citizen Act, which has been ignored in some parts for a reason I'm not really sure. For example, in place of your current section 5 in the Dual Citizenship Bill"
6. Should a dual citizen be found to be in violation of the requirements stated in the Constitution, they shall be given a reminder telegram and one-week grace period before their dual citizen status is removed
7. Just merge your proposed 3b and 3c of the Minister Responsibilities Act to read:
---
I'll address my concerns with the actual content of this bill once this has been properly addressed. As it stands, the mish-mash of citizenship law needs to be urgently remedied first.
Llorens, thank you for the suggestions. I’ll look at applying them ASAP. As for your point about allied regions in general, that was my original intent which I’d like to work towards, but I felt this might be a good change to start with so that we can see how it all plays out with NSLeft nations first. However, I’m willing to extend this to all allied nations, if there’s enough public support for that change.
Nottinhaps, Llorens, and Kavagrad
This might also work better for clarity since what qualifies as an 'ally' is quite ambiguous. We have a precedent from way back that embassies aren't inherently alliances, merely symbolic partnerships, so this is maybe for the best. 😛
Now that it appears Grey has accepted most of my recommendations, I want to move on to actually debating the premise of the bill itself - allowing members with their WA nations in another NSLeft region to participate as an electoral citizen in TLA.
My main concern with this is that allows them to have an oversized influence on the wider leftist community, as well as effectively a dual vote on NSLeft matters. Those that are primarily involved with TLA should be the ones that get to shape it through elections, referendums, etc.
Another point to consider is that we should be attracting nations to be completely involved in our community, rather than promoting the idea that they can stretch across multiple regions, leading to feelings of confusion and being overwhelmed, especially for new nations.
Note: I'm still looking through the other bills for places where it lists the types of citizens to change to simply "electoral citizens" per Llo's suggestion.
I do think Llo's heart is in the right place with his hesitation to support these reforms. Not only would this open the door to some pretty large-scale implications, it's a pretty tall order to say the least. However, I think Wasc and others in the GA put it aptly when they voiced their support in the GA server:
PodriaToday at 11:11 AMI very much support this bill, it does a good job of better fleshing out special cases in citizenship and will provide massive benefits to diplomacy.
KongolandToday at 11:13 AM
I support these bills. It will help to strengthen our relations with other NSLeft regions, which is obviously an important thing given what has happened in recent months.
Wascoitan Today at 4:56 PM
I support these bills these people are effected by our politics in a similar way to military voting citizens it makes sense that they would have a say in how our government is run.
I don't think it would be off-base to say that those who are already in our community and have their "mains" in regions affiliated with the NSLeft, that is to say, World Assembly nations, are deeply committed to our state of affairs and consider themselves a part of our community. To add to this, as we look to reform the NSLeft Solidarity Pact, I believe we should take the lead in opening the door for comrades to be involved to their heart's content in the affairs of the "left-wing" of this platform. I do think that if an individual wishes to be a dedicated member of more than one community, they should be allowed to do so. This means that if they want to be able to run for office or vote in an election or other regional poll, they shouldn't be obstructed simply because we fear they may obtain an inordinate amount of influence. In my Dual Citizenship bill, I work to address this concern in outlining the conditions in which one may stand for election. And that translates to not holding office in more than one region concurrently. Aside from that, if we truly recognize them as part of our community and not just some puppet nation like 
Zulanka in TLA's name might lead one to believe, then we should absolutely allow them to participate in our regional politics. I think this will tackle multiple problems one of which could be lack of contested elections as we have had in the past before. With a wider pool, we have a wider array of comrades with unique views on how to better this community we love to be a part of. I think we are doing ourselves an injustice by closing the door out of fear. If we seek to build a wider leftist coalition, we ought to practice what we preach. Unity in Diversity. Now, if you would like to ensure more safeguards, have at it. I'm happy to oblige. 😊
Anyway, I've said my piece for now. If anyone else has anything to say for or against, love to hear your thoughts.

Among other regions, Thomas has served 10000 Islands, 00000 A World Power, Lazarus, European Union, and many other regions in NationStates.
In summary; this would award a commendation to the nation of Benevolent Thomas, a regionbuilder.
