8.4 Your citizenship must reflect your primary loyalty

Identities are complex, multi-layered and evolve over time. Identity is felt in the heart, not in the New Magna Carta Mediumpassport. You cannot legislate for how people feel. People naturally differ in their allegiances and identity. Some people see themselves as individuals. Others see themselves as global citizens. Many feel an attachment to countries and peoples elsewhere in the world, especially their country of origin. Some people are uncomfortable with patriotism and national identity. This kind of variety is a feature of a healthy society. But at the very least, the citizens of a country must respect the core identity of that country and never act to undermine, denigrate or replace it. Colonial activity of any kind is forbidden. It is unacceptable to have a primary loyalty to a foreign country or group. If someone’s primary loyalty puts them at odds with the well-being, freedom, integrity and security of the nation in which they find themselves, then they must change citizenship to the place of their true allegiance.
