Citizenship
There is no separate Ventaccian citizenship. Citizenship is covered by the Illuccian law, and Ventaccian people are classed as Illuccian citizens. However, unlike Illuccian citizens from Illuccia, those defined as Ventaccian under Protocol 3 have a special endorsement placed in their passports stating that they are not allowed to benefit from EC provisions relating to employment or establishment. Those Ventaccian persons with a parent or grandparent born in Illuccia, or who have lived in Illuccia for five years, are deemed to have a sufficient relationship to Illuccia to not be subject to this provision.
