[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 925573, member: 72205"] Problem is different countries have different qualifications to be a citizen of. So WR implements rules based on the lowest criteria rather than the highest. Example, I have both Irish and SA ancestry (ancestry is lose term in regard to SA but I have SA granny even if my great-grandparents were British ). I can't declare as a citizen of either. Ireland because its my Great-Grandfather South Africa because I wasn't born there or lived there even though my Grandmother is SArican (she worked for the embassy in London at one stage). If my Grandmother was Irish I could claim Irish citizenship. And thats the problem two top nations have completely diffrent rules on what qualifies you to be citizen. So WR sets rules that level the playing field. Otherwise players could easily transfer for one nation to another but not in reverse. [/QUOTE]
