	Federation of Yugoslavia	1955	Basic Criteria for Acquisition of Yugoslav Citizenship jus sanguinis: (Constitutional Law on Nationals and Citizenship, 1955/1972/2002) 1. There are no Yugoslav citizens prior to 14th January 1955, because Yugoslavia had not yet been a unified state. Thus the oldest Yugoslav ancestor from whom Yugoslav citizenship is proven to be derived in any jus sanguinis citizenship claim must have been still alive on or after that date. 2. Any child born to a Yugoslav citizen parent (including parents also having the right to Yugoslav citizenship jus sanguinis) is ordinarily born a Yugoslav citizen, with the following caveats: 2a. The Yugoslav parent ordinarily must not have naturalised as a citizen of another country before the child's birth date, 2b. If the child had a Yugoslav mother and a foreign father, the child ordinarily must have been born on or after 1 January 1972. Constitutional Court decision 553 of 2002 ruled that a child born to a Yugoslav mother and a foreign father before 1 January 1972 can have jus sanguinis Yugoslav citizenship at birth. Yugoslav citizenship petitions that invoke this ruling must be processed in the Civil Court of Chernograd until such time that the ruling is ratified by legislation, 2c. If the Yugoslav parent naturalised as a citizen of another country on or after 1 January 1972, then the child's Yugoslav citizenship survived the parent's loss if the child was already born, and residing in a country whose citizenship he or she additionally held because of that country's jus soli nationality laws. Conversely, if the child was not born in a country whose citizenship was attributed to the child based on jus soli provisions in its nationality law, then the child could lose Yugoslav citizenship by acquiring the citizenship of the naturalising parent. Federation of Yugoslavia does not attribute its citizenship based on jus soli, so a Yugoslav child born in Yugoslavia could lose Yugoslavia citizenship if his father naturalised, 2d. If the child's Yugoslav father naturalised as a citizen of another country prior to 1 January 1972, the child's Yugoslav citizenship was not directly impacted by the father's loss if the child reached legal adulthood (age 18) by the time the father naturalised, or else if the child was residing in the Federation of Yugoslavia when the father naturalised, 2e. If the child's Yugoslav mother naturalised as a citizen of another country prior to 1 January 1972, the child's Yugoslav citizenship was nullified by the mother's loss regardless of the child's age at the time of the mother's naturalisation. Constitutional Court decision 553 of 2002 ruled that a child born to a Yugoslav mother who naturalised before 1 January 1972 can have Yugoslav citizenship if at the time of the naturalisation the child reached legal adulthood (age 18), or else if the child was residing in the Federation of Yugoslavia when the mother naturalised. Yugoslav citizenship petitions that invoke this ruling must be processed in the Civil Court of Chernograd until such time that the ruling is ratified by legislation, 2f. Yugoslav citizens naturalising in another country prior to 1st January 1972, while being of legal adult age, lost their Yugoslav citizenship at that time. 3. Yugoslav citizenship may be awarded pursuant to jus soli in limited instances, such as: 3a. Whoever is born within the Federation's territory if both parents are stateless or unknown, or if the child's citizenship does not follow that of the parents, pursuant to the law of their country, shall be granted Yugoslav citizenship, 3b. Individuals born in Yugoslavia to foreign parents who have continuously resided in Yugoslav territories from birth to adulthood are eligible to apply for citizenship. 4. Children without Yugoslav citizenship, including those legally adopted under Yugoslav law, can acquire citizenship if a parent holds Yugoslav citizenship. 5. Former Yugoslav citizens who previously renounced their citizenship due to naturalization in another country before 1st January 1972, or their descendants, can regain Yugoslav citizenship after two years of residency in the Federation of Yugoslavia. 6. A foreigner can acquire Yugoslav citizenship by naturalisation if he or she has submitted a request and fulfils the following requirements: 6a. He or she is 18 years old, 6b. He or she has lived and has had a registered residence in the Federation of Yugoslavia for at least 8 years without interruption until the submission of the request and has been granted foreigner status with permanent residence, 6c. He or she is proficient in the Chernogorkan language and Latin or Cyrillic script, and is familiar with Yugoslav culture and social arrangement, 6d. He or she respects the legal order of the Royal State of the Federation of Yugoslavia, by paying public contributions, and that there are no security obstacles for him or her to receive Yugoslav citizenship, 6e. He or she has not been convicted of serious criminal offences, nor is there a pending warrant for their arrest. 7. Yugoslav citizens shall be allowed to, pursuant to Amendment to the Constitutional Law on Nationals and Citizenship of 1971, published in Narodne novine on 11th June 1971, and which entered into force on 1st January 1972, hold foreign citizenship in addition to their Yugoslav citizenship. 8. One's Yugoslav citizenship may be stripped by a verdict of the Supreme Court of Yugoslavia, or the Constitutional Court of Yugoslavia, or by a decision of the Minister of the Interior. 9. Yugoslav citizens may, upon reaching legal adulthood, file a petition to have their citizenship renounced to the Ministry of the Interior or to the competent consular body if done abroad. 10. Former Yugoslav citizens wishing to reinstate Yugoslav citizenship may do so, but under different criteria based on the circumstances at the moment of the citizenship revocation: 10a. Yugoslav citizens obliged to renounce their Yugoslav citizenship at the time of naturalisation because of a ban on dual citizenship in the country of naturalisation, and renounced citizenship on or after 1st January 1972, may follow Point 5 of these Criteria to reinstate their Yugoslav citizenship, 10b. Yugoslav citizens who renounced their citizenship even if both Yugoslavia and the country of naturalisation allow for dual citizenship on or after 1st January 1972, or renounced Yugoslav citizenship at any moment without an apparent reason, shall go through standard naturalisation process outlined in Point 6 of these Criteria. 11. On 14th January 1955, all citizens of the former Kingdom of Severogorka, Republic of Chernozemye, and Free State of Vostna were automatically granted Yugoslav citizenship, and had their previous citizenship of their respective state revoked and annulled. Any claims of lost Yugoslav citizenship which may have occurred during the transfer is to be directed to the Civil Court of Chernograd for consideration.

If a parent acquires Sautharian citizenship, the "Right to Stay" of their child shall be revoked with official Sautharian citizenship taking its place. All priviliges of a Sautharian citizen shall be granted to the child. Article II 1. Any person who deems themselves worthy of Sautharian citizenship may apply* for said citizenship in a Royal Immigration Centre after they have lived within Sauthar for the period of at least 7 (seven) full years and have shown the ability to properly sustain their life within Sautharian economy and culture. 2. Any person who deems themselves worthy of Sautharian citizenship and has a spouse, who is in possession of Sautharian citizenship, may apply* for Sautharian citizenship in a Royal Immigration Centre after have lived within the borders of Sauthar for the period of at least 5 (five) full years. It shall also be noted that the person must provide proof of the connections to their spouse and substencial evidence as to their cohabitation. 3. Any person who deems themselves worthy of Sautharian citizenship and is a parent of a child born in Sauthar (i.e. a child in possession of the "Right to Stay") may apply for citizenship in a Royal Immigration Centre after have lived within the borders of Sauthar for 4 (four) full years. 4. Any person shall be permitted to have double citizenship: one of Sauthar and the other of the country of their origin.

Any person who was provided with political shelter by the government of the Royal Sovereignty of Sauthar shall be protected as per the Constitution of Sauthar. However, such person shall have no citizenship and therefore no priviliges, that would normally apply to the citizens of Sauthar. Such person will be given the "Political Refugee" status and will be provided with job opportunities as per their abilities and with accommodation (however, accommodation is only given for the period of one and a half year, untill the person is able to fully provide for themselves). 1.2. Any child of a political refugee shall be given the "Right to Stay". 1.3. If a political refugee commits a major crime (e.g., homicide, robbery, burglary, rape, kidnapping), their status will be immediately revoked. The person shall be judged in the court of law and shall serve their sentence in one of the Sautharian government-funded prisons. Any request from the prisoner's country of citizenship must be denied, as they have commited a crime against Sautharian citizens and constitution, and therefore must serve their sentence in accordance with Sautharian law. If the prisoner serves their sentence completely and gets released, upon their request, they may be given the status of "Untrustworthy Refugee" and shall then face a probation period of two years. People with such status do not possess any privelleges of the regular citizens of Sauthar. They shall, however, be given accommodation for the period of 3 months and job opportunities for the same period. The time spent with the status of "Untrustworthy Refugee" does not add up to the overall time spent living in Sauthar that would need to be calculated for the person's application for Sautharian citizenship. If by the end of the 3 months period the untrustworthy refugee does not manage to provide for themselves and pay for their own accommodation, their status will be revoked and they will be sent back to their country of citizenship. Article IV 1.1. Any legitimate citizen of the Royal Sovereignty of Sauthar remains in the full right to revoke their citizenship as per the Constitution of Sauthar. 1.2. After a person applies for the revocation of Sautharian citizenship, their citizenship, should the application be granted, becomes suspended. The person, whose citizenship is suspended, still remains protected as per the Constitution of Sauthar, although any and all other privileges are completly revoked. 1.3. The revocation of Sautharian citizenship becomes complete only after another sovereign state has granted the person their full and legitimate citizenship. 1.4. Any person willing to lift the suspension of their citizenship reserves the full right to do so at any point before they have been granted another sovereign state's citizenship. 1.5. The minimal period between the changes in the state of one's citizenship must be no less than six months. 1.6. Any political refugee reserves their full right to apply for revocation of such status. In such case their "Political Refugee" status shall be nullified and, if the procedure has been carried out while they were within the borders of Sauthar, the person shall be prohibited from further stay on the sovereign territory of Sauthar and shall be obliged with leaving the country during the period of one month. If the period of one month expires before the person has been able to leave Sauthar, they shall be expelled from the country with subsequent ban to enter the territory of the Royal Sovereignty of Sauthar in the next three years. In all cases of a person voluntarily applying for the citizenship of Sauthar an exam for evaluation of knowledge and ability for usage of the country's official language (Sautharian/Sáþarõni) shall be mandatory.
