New Citizenship Lottery Scheme Introduced
...............................................................
In an effort to bring more skilled and ordinary labour to Gadalland and Aspern, the government has created a scheme for immigrants to claim citizenship from dual Sertian citizens living abroad.
The new scheme allows the renounced citizenships of former Sertian citizens to be given to an eligible immigrant or prospective immigrant by way of 'trading'.New immigrants who have lived in Gadalland and Aspern at least two years and have been employed full-time will be able to enter a lottery to earn citizenship. The amount of people who will eventually earn citizenship through this scheme will be equal or more than the number of people who have renounced their Sertian citizenship.
This is to encourage immigrants within and without the EU to have the benefits of Sertian citizenship shortly after they have come to Gadalland and Aspern. This announcement comes shortly after the government has held talks of creating more incentives for foreign workers and international students.
"The government doesn't believe that 'best and brightest' immigration policy is really going to solve any of our problems long-term," said Frea Hytscill, press associate for the Customary Logistics Council. "Unskilled workers deserve as much a chance as more skilled workers at having a better life."
This policy, like any other, has been met with some contention by its opponents. Hlald Samfkrig, Representative of the Conservative Sertian Association, says the scheme 'does virtually nothing' to improve immigrants' chances of becoming citizens.
"Who would want to come here anyway when, well for one thing, we're in the middle of a lockdown, and secondly when we have such an already relatively hostile immigration system. The government, I mean, is just trying to attract foreigners with false promises." Samfkrig's party has been noted in the past for its anti-immigrant sentiment.
The approximate chance of 'winning' citizenship through this scheme is thought to be about 1 in 1,296,923, while about 4,320 foreigners become citizens of Gadalland and Aspern each year. Many are forced to leave as they don't meet the requirements of the available visas or they are in Gadalland and Aspern illegally.
The scheme will begin accepting entries on 2 November, the day after the lockdown ends.

Statement Regarding Sertian Journalism in the Clan Democracy of Strathae7 October 2021
The NS6, Gadalland and Aspern's state-run news source, will no longer report from the Clan Democracy of Strathae.
All public journalists from the Sertian Union formerly in Strathae have returned to Gadalland and Aspern.
Sertia believes in the free press, and the right to express dissent in order to take public bodies and individuals to task. The new libel and slander laws, along with other legislative actions in Strathae, severely limit the ability of the foreign public to report honestly and impartially to its viewers regarding issues within Strathae.
In protest, and out of concern for the safety of its reporters, the NS6 has asked this government to recognise the actions of Strathae with disappointment and hopes that the withdrawal of the Sertian journalist community will give Strathaen officials the chance to reconsider their actions on behalf of the European free press community.

Council of Diplomacy
Statement Regarding the Crisis of the Strait of Adventuranza
The Six Unions of Gadalland and Aspern, noting our extreme reliance on the open sea for trade, will commit to promoting the compliance of international maritime law. Therefore, the CLC recognises the Spanish possession of the Strait of Adventuranza, and further will not attempt to interfere in the current situation, in an attempt to reconcile the European governments involved in this dispute.
The Customary Logistics Council also expresses its concern over the Spanish decision to suspend its military treaty with Mennrimiak.
Gadalland and Aspern offers its services as a mediator, and our proficiency in this field is modelled exceptionally by our lack of involvement in recent international disputes.ERE BACH'AIR DUN

Council of Innovation
Implementation of Automobile Free Zones in Registered Historic Areas
The Council of Innovation would like to announce the implementation of new Automobile Free Zones (AFZs) in sites listed on the Register of Protected Areas throughout Gadalland and Aspern.
As the automobile becomes more commonplace in the Sertian Union, now is an important opportunity to keep specific government-protected areas inaccessible to automobiles. This is in an effort to answer the concerns of residents of these areas, many of whom have requested these historic areas remain automobile free.
As an alternative to accessing these areas, the government has signed a 5-year contract with the Sertian Railway Company, TransAspern and ViaGadalland rail contractors to strengthen the country's rail services. This will allow the residents of historic areas to remain protected from the hazards and other side effects of automobiles without the need for horse transport.
The following areas and town centres have petitioned to become, and will become AFZs, effective 1 January, 2022:
-
Bannock Cliffs National Park
-
Eadine Town Centre
-
Briswick Town Centre
-
Dincombe Hills National Park

UPDATED TRAVEL AND IMMIGRATION POLICY
In an effort to reflect the new rights of Sertian citizens and residents by the 4C agreement with the Republic of Nofoaga, the Council of Diplomacy has issued new immigration and travel rules.
COMMUNITY STATUS
The 4C agreement states that any travel document stamped by the relevant authorities of both Gadalland and Aspern and Nofoaga are entitled to free movement between these countries. This is known in Gadalland and Aspern as Community Status.
If the visa or travel permit you are applying for does not specify you have Community Status, you must apply separately. You will be advised upon application whether your permission and purpose of travel is eligible for Community Status.
This does not apply to citizens of Gadalland and Aspern or the Republic of Nofoaga who hold valid Sertian or Nofoagan passports.
TYPES OF TRAVEL PERMISSION
Visa
Citizens of countries not included in Ambassador Act 2021 will need a visa to come to Gadalland and Aspern. The type of visa you apply for depends on your eligibility and your purpose of travel.Certain visas are automatically entitled to Community Status, and some are not. You may apply separately for Community Status when you apply for your visa, or when you've arrived in Gadalland and Aspern and your visa is valid.
Permit
Depending on your purpose of travel, you may need a Permit. Apply for a permit online.
Citizens of countries listed in Ambassador Act 2021 do not need a visa or travel permit to travel to Gadalland and Aspern if:
- You are staying for less than 180 days,
- You are not seeking employment
For any other purpose, or for a stay longer than 180 days, you will need to obtain a relevant permit.
You will also be given Community Status for the first six months you are in Gadalland and Aspern. If you need more time under Community Status, you must apply before your current status expires.
Where the chart says Community Status Applicable, you will automatically have Community Status if your visa or travel permission is approved. Where Community Status is not applicable, you must apply separately.
Purpose of Travel Requirements for Ambassador Act States Requirements for non-Ambassador Act states Community Status Conditions of Permission Duration (Ambassador Act) Duration (non-Ambassador Act) Visitor (includes Tourism, family) Permission Determined on arrival Visit Visa Required Community Status Not Applicable - No Employment, study, or benefits 180 days Duration of proposed stay, maximum 180 days Student Study Permit Required Student Visa Required Community Status Not Applicable - Limited Employment, no benefits Duration of course plus 6 months Duration of course plus 6 months Work Employment Permit Required Work Visa Required Community Status Applicable - No benefits Duration of employment contract, extendable Duration of employment contract, extendable Join Family Family Permit Required Family Visa Required Community Status Applicable - No benefits 3 years, extendable 3 years, extendable Transit No requirements Transit Visa Required Community Status Not Applicable - May remain landside for a maximum of 48 hours Not Required 72 hours Other Certain Circumstances Certain Circumstances - Varies - Varies - Varies -

HOW TO RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT IN GADALLAND AND ASPERN
The government wishes to make available the proper utilisation of the many health services available to those in Gadalland and Aspern. Here you will find the resources which are available to you should you require any medical assistance.
Sertian healthcare is divided into Emergency and Non-Emergency Services. Law requires all areas of Sertia have at least two Emergency and Non-Emergency facilities, whilst cities are required to have at least four.
Emergency services include police, ambulance services and the Caribbean Maritime services. These are used for life-threatening emergencies. To access this, you may call 777. You may be asked for your address and other personal information, but never for your National Tax Number, immigration status or payment card information.
Non-Emergency services are accessed using L-00-P, and are only accessible within the Sertian Union, and not within Caribbean or international waters or territories. You will be connected with your local hospital or surgery to receive basic medical advice, including whether your condition requires more urgent medical treatment. Where relevant, you may be asked to enter another extension line to receive more specific medical advice. L-00-P is free to use, and is available 24/365.
Who Has Access
Healthcare is available to those who are legally present within Gadalland and Aspern. In other words, you must be a Sertian or Nofoagan citizen or legal resident to access Sertian Healthcare.
Resources for those with Illegitimate Status
Illegitimate Status refers to those who are not technically legally present within Gadalland and Aspern. This can happen in many situations, including but not limited to:
- Sertian or Nofoagan citizens who were born abroad and never registered domestic residence
- Non-citizens who are living in Gadalland and Aspern without permission, or expired permission
- Stateless persons, born within or without Gadalland and Aspern
By Sertian law, if you have Illegitimate Status you are still entitled to medical care, but your options may be more limited. For example, you may not be able to register with a medical practise if you are not legally recognised or you may need to pay for medical care after you receive it.
Because of this, you are encouraged to legitimise your status within Gadalland and Aspern as soon as possible. Regardless of your nationality, you may apply for temporary access to the central medical services by paying a fee and entering your personal information. This access will last for six months and allows you to work on making legitimate your status whilst still being able to access medical treatment.
Please be advised that while your status will not be disclosed to any other legal authority by Sertian Health Services, we cannot guarantee your stay in Gadalland and Aspern will not be interrupted if it is not legally permitted.

First Speech from Head Councillor Guthrun Wond
27 December, 2021
People of Sertia,
I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for electing me as your Head Councillor. This is truly a revolution.
Ever since I got out of jail, I have thought every day that my election to this position would be the happiest day of my life. And it has very much been so.
With many thanks to Ms. Édutitalle Dína, I am here to tell you that we are now going to be the Gadalland and Aspern the world wants us to be.
For many years, I have watched this country deteriorate under the unfair rule of radical socialist leaders, such as Ms. Dína and Mr. Spiggen. We have seen how they mishandled the terror attack in November by locking us in our houses.
And last Summer, when Mr. Spiggen dangerously told the Nofoagans that they were welcome here, defying the orders of Spain.
And our failing health system which, contrary to public belief, is terribly ill-prepared for a public health crisis.
And you, the people. You have cried out for help for years, to closed ears. But now, I am here to help you. We will make Gadalland and Aspern a great place for everyone.
As Head Councillor, my first order of business will be to stop the terrible infiltration of railways through our quiet neighbourhoods. We will stop this uncontrolled influx of refugees taking precious jobs from precious citizens, and there will be no more unfair government. That is my promise to you.I'll see you soon, Sertia.
Thank you. -
Embassy of Gadalland and Aspern in Spain to Become 4C Consulate
All Embassy Services Will Be Moved to the CCCC Embassy
07 January 2022
Following the 4C agreement with the Republic of Nofoaga last year, the government has decided to move all embassy services to the Embassy of the Caribbean Community in order to centralise movement.
The new Embassy of the Caribbean Common Community Commission will operate out of the Embassy of The Republic of Nofoaga in Spain.
The Consulate of the Caribbean Community will operate all embassy services on a diminished scale, or as an overflow relief facility. All consulate services will operate out of the old Gadalland and Aspern Embassy address.
This change is to provide streamlined assistance to Sertians and Nofoaganese, as well as visa services for non-citizens.
The government has also mandated that all existing Embassies, Consulate Majors and Consulate Minors of Gadalland and Aspern are to begin offering Caribbean Community services, with immediate effect.

On the Government Renaming Project
The Customary Logistics has overwhelmingly voted to re-organise the Sertian government, to allow for more straightforward, efficient operations as Gadalland and Aspern begins to get more involved in EU affairs.
This restructuring will involve keeping many existing powers of the government, but adding, renaming, or taking away certain departments that do not benefit government efficiency. It will also reflect Gadalland and Aspern's new status as a Caribbean state.
This new structure will also allow for departments to be added and removed more easily, as needed in the future.
This resctructure DOES NOT constitute a shift in any government operations, nor will it, in any way, compromise the stability of this government.
The government also hopes to introduce the Individual Department Scheme, a developing project aimed at fair lobbying.

Foundation of the Sertian National Fund
25 May 2022
It is the utmost pleasure of the Customary Logistics Council to announce the creation of the Sertian National Fund. This nationally-owned foundation is the cornerstone of Sertia's newly-designed welfare system.
We as Sertians value the strength and vitality of our local communities. It is the government's wish to support our strong interpersonal connections which contribute to Gadalland and Aspern's rich culture, allowing solidarity and independent thought but maintaining a healthy level of co-dependence and unity.
The Sertian National Fund (SNF) is where taxpayer money goes, and government support comes from. Through the SNF, the government will provide financial support for the needs of our citizens.
The following benefits will become available with the creation of the SNF:
- Low Income Supplementation
- Financial support during periods of unemployment
- Student Financial Support
- Promoting equal access to our developing public transport system
- Guaranteed assistance for voluntary donors
The SNF will also oversee and strengthen existing benefits, such as the Elder Care Fund and the Sertian Health Service, as well as create increased social safety for our citizens.
The government has allocated 40% of its spending to the SNF alone for the first two years, and the rest to general infrastructure.
More information regarding eligibility requirements will be soon to follow.
