Chapter 565: Three Identities

In the afternoon, the land reform bill was finally discussed, and in an instant, the ratings of major TV stations, especially Jeju TV, soared to 87% in the kingdom, and the rest were all picked up by other local stations.

I have to say that Jeju TV has a feeling of crying and laughing this time, originally planned to broadcast only on English channels and local Chinese channels, but because of too many protests and requests in the morning, finally had to be broadcast in all languages and all channels, now most countries and regions in the world can directly see how the parliament of the Kingdom of New Zealand is held, and the process of each bill considered.

Fortunately, it doesn't take much effort, it just needs instant translation from other channels, and these talents are a lot of people in Jeju TV.

At this time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense also received protests from the Chilean government, and in the "Military Import and Export Act of the Kingdom of New Zealand" just passed in the morning, I don't know whether the former New Zealand and former Australian parliamentarians hold a grudge or it is indeed a coincidence, in the export agreement signed with Chile, because of the Exocs missiles and Seahawk-class destroyers, F3 Black Hawk fighters (I said it wrong, it should be F3, I wrote it as F1) are restricted from exporting, As a result, Chile's military equipment export contracts are facing the fate of being stranded.

In this regard, the solution given by the military equipment manufacturing group is to downgrade exports or give financial compensation, but now the Congress has passed a new bill. Even if the military equipment manufacturing group is affiliated with the island owner's government, it has to abide by the laws of the country, so I can only say sorry.

Chile has a lot of opposition. But the other South American countries have sent congratulatory messages to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom, and now the dark clouds that have been hanging over their heads have finally dispersed, and they are really grateful to this group of members of the Kingdom Congress at this time, you must know that they have worked hard for a long time to get the military equipment manufacturing group to give up this contract, but I didn't expect that the Congress finally did it.

This will play a positive role in maintaining peace and stability in South America, after all, once the too advanced equipment from the Kingdom of New Zealand enters Chile, it will be strange if Chile does not find trouble. They had had a headache for a long time.

The Land Act is highly regarded, and it has to be said that it has reached the nerves of the vast majority of the citizens of the entire Kingdom of New Zealand, especially the more than 20 million people who have recently joined the Kingdom. Before that, he had been accustomed to having all the land for life.

Although they are now forced to accept the laws of the Kingdom of New Zealand because of war or island ownership agreements, they will definitely revert to the original land laws if possible.

Land will be the foundation of the country in any country. Almost the vast majority of wars in history have been fought over land. Land represents benefits and the foundation of survival. But the situation of the Kingdom of New Zealand is different from any other country, because the whole country is subordinate to private individuals, whether it is the country's land, sea, resources, etc., everything belongs to Ji Feng.

No matter how good your evidence is, it is impossible to match the island ownership agreement in Ji Feng's hands, which is recognized by the vast majority of countries in the world, and the United Nations has also expressed helplessness about it.

Otherwise, Ji Feng's private waters are strictly forbidden from all maritime operations such as fishery, salvage, and exploration in other countries. It will not be tacitly acquiesced by the United Nations and most countries, just because the sea area to which Ji Feng belongs is a private sea area. You don't need the consent of other countries to play what you want, it's just that the area of this private sea has now expanded to an outrageous level.

But no matter how large the area is, it can't change the fact that it is a private sea area.

Fortunately, now there are voices from the island lord's mansion that allow internal land reform, and Ji Feng sent his own representatives to supervise the first Congress, which proves that Ji Feng attaches great importance to this matter.

In the face of the demands of the vast majority of the citizens of the kingdom, even as the master of the country, he has to take into account the issue of the people's voice and popularity, as the old saying goes, good water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat, no matter which dynasty changes in history, it is because the interests of the vast majority of people are not satisfied, and the vast majority of them are closely related to the land.

Although Ji Feng has a way to change people's will in an instant, Ji Feng will not do that, what is the difference between raising a group of walking dead, what Ji Feng wants is citizens who can freely exert their creativity and stretch their ideology.

The drafting of the land reform bill was led by the State Council and jointly drafted by the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, and the Ministry of Homeland Security.

The four ministries worked overtime during the Lunar New Year holiday and deliberated countless times before the draft land reform bill now submitted to parliament was formed.

The effectiveness of the National Assembly has never been so efficient, and I don't know if it is because most of the lawmakers are participating in the country's legislative work for the first time in their current capacity, or because they are somewhat afraid of the powerful island owners' mansions.

When the land reform bill was introduced, even though it caused an uproar among the lawmakers in the room, it was passed with 231 votes after a bickering, with fewer than 70 votes against, and the rest abstained.

The passage of the land bill suddenly made countless people in the entire kingdom happy, but there were also some people who seemed a little frustrated, because although the new land bill has made great progress compared to before, it still has not been able to reach the level of their original freedom, but these people are not unincomprehensible, after all, the current state has changed, and if you are not satisfied, you can choose to immigrate to other countries.

The next agenda of the National Assembly is also eye-catching, and it can even be said that there is not a single bill considered in the first session of the National Assembly that has gone unnoticed. For example, the Kingdom's latest welfare system, immigration system, employment, education, health care, and so on have all been finalized in the form of legislation again.

After all, no matter how much you tossed it before, it was just a private territory, and no matter how big the territory was, it was different from the state, and the laws within the territory had more freedom. And the whole country, especially the entire kingdom of New Zealand with a population of more than 30 million at this time, is completely different from the 300,000 people when Ji Feng first started, and many laws have reached the point where they must be amended.

For example, on the issue of citizenship, there was originally only one kind of islander ID card, but the current form of development is no longer suitable, and even the previously announced red island ID card cannot fully meet the current development needs. Even the red islander's ID card was only temporary at the time.

Through the convening of this parliament, it has also been determined that the Kingdom of New Zealand has three types of identity cards, one is a normal green identity card. The standard of issuance is the existing normal citizens (including the rental area), as well as the citizens who immigrated to the country through normal channels; The second type is the more explicit citizens who have previously had a sense of opposition or opposition, and they and the next two generations will be issued with red citizen ID cards, which will only pass the inspection at the expiration date. Or those who have made outstanding contributions to the country can change to a green ID card.

The third is new. In the face of a large number of citizens with dual or multiple nationalities, in order to effectively distinguish them from other citizens of a single nationality, a blue citizenship card has been set up. Citizens who hold this ID card must have the nationality of the Kingdom of New Zealand, and also have the nationality of another country, the number of nationalities in the ID card, the name of the country, the household registration in each country, credit history, criminal record, education, medical records, etc. will be recorded on the identity card.

Holders of blue ID cards do not need passports or visas to travel to and from the country of citizenship, and can travel as many times as they want. However, if the average stay in the Kingdom of New Zealand is less than three months in the past three years, the Kingdom of New Zealand will automatically revoke the citizenship of the New Zealand Kingdom.

The Kingdom of New Zealand allows citizens who have emigrated to other countries to revoke their citizenship. However, at the time of cancellation, it is necessary to pay a one-time national training fee of millions of dollars.

For citizens with dual or multiple nationality, there are still many restrictions, such as not being allowed to serve in government agencies, state-owned enterprises and the military, not being elected to the parliament and provincial councils of various regions, regardless of the livelihood allowance provided by the Kingdom, and enjoying different levels of medical benefits according to the number of nationalities they have.

For example, citizens with dual citizenship only need to pay 50% of the medical expenses, while citizens with nationality of three countries can only enjoy a 33% reduction in medical expenses, that is, the more nationality they have, the less benefits they enjoy.

Athletes with blue ID cards are free to choose the country they want to participate in when participating in international competitions.

Although it seems to be very troublesome, after it is determined in the form of legislation, it is more conducive to the government to avoid detours in the process of governing in the future.

Fortunately, there are not many countries that have signed a mutual recognition of multiple citizenship with the Kingdom of New Zealand, only the Celestial Empire, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Russia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Inner Mongolia, India, Iran, Israel, and Italy.

The issue of immigration, which is of concern to citizens of other countries, has also been decided at this session of the Diet.

The difficulty of immigrating citizens of various countries to join the Kingdom of New Zealand is not low, and the immigration application of citizens with criminal records in various countries will not be approved, those who have worked as civil servants and soldiers in their own countries will not be allowed, and those who have failed the identity health examination will not be allowed to pass, etc.

Of course, if you find a New Zealand citizen as a spouse, and have been officially married** for more than one year, and have children to prove that they are spouses, you will be directly issued a green ID card or a blue ID card. The kind of fake marriage cases that have been eliminated for the purpose of deceiving the immigration bureau have suddenly made countless people who have such thoughts painful.

The Department of Homeland Security, an agency of the Cabinet Administration, is responsible for all immigration in the country, and the provincial governments are no longer responsible for immigration.

Again, if you have a lot of banknotes, then congratulations, all of the above is not a problem, as long as you invest more than 20 million dollars in cash or in kind, the investor will be issued a green ID card directly. (To be continued......)
