A new citizenship tier
The President has called the citizenship tier a new era for Elania
November 2014
"The government has approved a new citizenship tier which seeks to “reward those that do more for the country”. The ten level citizenship tier will give those at the higher tiera access to better accommodation, more opportunities for travel, better access to healthcare and many other benefits. The lowest citizenship level will see a provided modest basic income as well as access to basic healthcare and public transportation. All citizens regardless of citizenship tier will have access to the mandatory public education system. The President has pushed hard for the reforms saying that"
“We need to reward those that do more for the Motherland. Elania has come a long way under the leadership of the National United Front. We have left behind many of the superstitions about gods and other fantasies. We have moved towards a society that values science, education, hard work and patriotism. The new citizenship tier is the culmination of this long project. It accepts a fundamental fact that we are not all equal and that not all contribute equally to the greater good. Those who do not wish to contribute or cannot will be able to enjoy a decent living. Those that contribute more will be rewarded for their contribution and their patriotism. However, all children under the age of 18 will have access to the same public education no matter who their parents are. Elania is a land of opportunity so we will make sure that our youth have all the necessary requirements to succeed in life.”
The government has emphasized that the system allows for social mobility with citizens being allowed to move up or down the ladder upon the yearly review of their performance and contributions to Elanian society. "
