    Good. I hope there are further tests of the applicants’ world view in place, but that’s a start.

        I did specify world view, did I not? A credible commitment to the rule of law, democracy, secular politics, and to the rules-based international order would be a start. I don’t think we should award citizenship to anyone who can’t even make lip service to these principles.

        edit: smart selection process on the part of that German state actually. Screening out people who would deny Israel the right to exist probably also catches a lot of those who would fail some of the above requirements.

          Pathetic. All these but for one country alone? And you are not even joking, are you? You’re totally serious…

      This will immediately give rise to “nation’s values”, which will always suspiciosly coincide with what people in power want them to be.
