Any mod of the demo game should not only continue on as a citizen, but also ENCOURAGED to do so.
These threads are much more complicated than the typical "culture flipping sucks" fare we encounter in the GD area. It takes someone involved with the game to understand the details and context of any mod like events.
I can understand hesitation regarding government positions, but I cannot see any valid reason to deny them their citizenship.
For those who were here, you might remember that eyrei was the key organizer of this game in the beginning, and I would hate to lose his contributions. Shaitan's contributions are of course legendary, even amongst those who don't agree with them.
