Landmark Citizenship, Immigration Reform to Begin
Gov. is Lauded/Criticized for pro-Kyo Policies, Continues Program for "Reborn" Kyo
This Fall, the Internal Ministry's new "One Child Policy" will formally be enforced, restricting the ability of certain groups as defined to be able to reproduce beyond one child per legal family. The policy has been lauded and criticized for it's implied pro-Kyo tones, notably the constricting effects it could have on the already-collapsing Draniano and Draddwyr Populations in Dankuk. Whilst Gao-Showan peoples such as the Kyo, Kunihito, Sekowan, and Yingalan residents will not have any restrictions placed on them, the other ethnicities residing in Dankuk will feel the pinch. Forced abortion and/or sterilization has reportedly been authorized by the Internal ministry, and violators can face prison labor time or even the death penalty. Regardless of stance, the policy will undoubtedly heavily impact Dankukin demographics for the foreseeable future.
These policies, along with the controversial Citizenship Reform Act (CRA) that will soon strip Draniano and Draddwyr people of their citizenship, have sharply increased the amount of emigrants to foreign nations. Draddwyr have been reported attempting to cross the Kazulian border and apply for asylum in Aloria, another country with a significant Draddwyr population; whilst Draniano have been apparently seeking refuge in Egelion and Tukarali. Those who choose to stay in Dankuk will be forced to use Kyomal exclusively as a language, and will be subject to various policies aimed at solidifying the new Kyo state.
But perhaps the most consequential, ambitious, and far-reaching of the government's latest reforms is the "Rebirth" program, which aims to bring Draniano of at least 50% Kyo heritage "back into the flock" through intensive cultural re-education. Using census data and employing a massive web of civil servants, educators, law enforcement, and other personnel; the government is currently undertaking the herculean task of converting the distant back to their Kyo heritage. According to the CRA,
[So-called] "Dranianos" possessing 50% or more Kyo blood shall be put in special training and education facilities under the Internal Affairs Ministry's guide to rehabilitate themselves. They shall receive the guidance necessary to build and realize a solely Kyo nation such as the language and culture of the fatherland, and shall take a rehabilitation test every 6 months. All persons that pass the test shall be deemed reformed enough to re-enter society, and shall receive citizenship once more.
So far, a reported 5 million+ citizens in Dankuk have been fully or partially mandated to enroll in the re-education programs, and the government is hoping to rapidly expand and intensify them still to "erase the 'Draniano' cultural blasphemy that have taken our lost sons from us", as President Shin Jae-Ho commented. Projections estimate that more than 50%, a majority of Dankuk's current "Draniano" population could be effectively reborn and brought back into it's Kyo population within 2 generations, if the reeducation projects hold their ground.
