Controversy

West Phoenician Citizenship Debacle

In 2018 West Phoenician Minister of Immigration Harry Heniel came under fire for what was known as the West Phoenicia Citizenship Debacle.

Harry Heniel, a member of the Antebellum Party before the party merged with the Conservative Party come under fire with his introduction of a controversial plan to fast track citizenship for sport stars of other nations.

The plan dubbed "Paving the Road to Glory" will allow active sport stars and athletes to be given automatic citizenship in exchange for them representing West Phoenicia in the Winter and Summer Olympicss as well as other high profile sports like Baseball, Basketball, Tennis and Football. The goal is to bring in talent and excellence to boost West Phoenicia in sports where they are struggling.

As well as automatic citizenship granted for the athlete it allows their family to be granted citizenship and pick of location of where they want to live with further financial assistance given for relocation costs as well as waiving the $5000 Citizenship application fees and others associated with it.

The Opposition slammed the new policy as unfair and discriminating towards people who have done the right thing and waited the five years to become citizens.

The scandal caused Harry Heniel to resign from the cabinet position.
