Here is a question that will hopefully tide us over while we're holed up here in the bunker. I've been meaning to make a thread on it for a while. How far does loyalty to one's Sovereign extend? If someone is born under one Monarch, moves to a country with a different one, and becomes a citizen there, do they still owe any loyalty to their original Sovereign? Or would you say they cannot simply change allegiances or that they would be bound to both? Would they only owe fealty if they specifically made an oath to their Sovereign? I personally have made an oath to my Queen when I started in my occupation. Am I only bound by this until I leave my occupation or nation, or for the rest of my life? I feel that I am bound for life, though I was always partial to the Monarchy even as a child, so I don't know if this is just sentimentality. On the other hand I would want to avoid being overly legalistic about it giving loyalty too many timelines and boundaries. A few years ago in my country, the courts ruled to allow new citizens to immediately recant the Oath of Allegiance they just made to become a citizen. What do you think of this?
