Boggle08 Posted April 24, 2022 Posted April 24, 2022 When the contact war happened, the Hegemony Thanos snapped the governments of at least half the planet out of existence, and left millions of Unathi stateless. Aside from consolidating the vestiges of a few major population centers, the hegemony has done little in practice to exert influence over the people still in the wasteland, or that have fled as refugees to other parts of the spur. The hegemony generates hundreds of stateless individuals each year as well. Guwan explicitly have their citizenship revoked, and heretics are presumed to not have it much better. Traditionalist nobles or other political refugees are going to have an easier time dodging the headsman's axe rather than trying to actually become a citizen. This is all compounded by the fact that the Hegemony is an extremely feudal power , whose backwardness is exacerbated by the apocalypse. Even if the hegemony had a functional centralized system, it was likely damaged severely by the catastrophe. Countless records may have been lost. Statelessness, effective or legal, is a rampant issue on Moghes, and it will continue to be in the foreseeable future. To accurately reflect this predicament, I'm suggesting we give people the option to put "none", "stateless", or some other special refugee clause or status in the citizenship field for Unathi. I think Dionae should have this as well, because they're all written to be in the same predicament as wastelander unathi. A large chunk of unathi character concepts exist on legal precarity, and creating an option in loadout that can reflect that is far more succinct and unrestrictive than having to explain in records what the citizenship you've selected for your character actually means.
