Immigration and Emigration Policy
Immigration is of the utmost importance to the Principality for two main reasons. Firstly, the Pillow Fortress lacks both native and replenishing populations, and must therefore accept new citizens if it wishes to maintain its existence. Secondly, the greater the population the greater the economic potential, and the greater the economic potential the greater the stability and power of the state. Thus even once the Principality establishes a native population capable of replenishing itself, the acceptance of new immigrants is likely to continue.
Emigration is a trickier subject to develop a policy for since ideally no one would leave the Pillow Fortress and take their wealth and productivity with them, however it is recognized that holding captive populations is not only a violation of the rights of the individual, but also destabilizing to the country that attempts to maintain such a policy. Because of these and other factors, it is easy for Pillowans to renounce their citizenship.
