I can't see how this would work. The "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" part refers to the children born in the US, not their parents. But don't quote me on this, I'm not a lawyer.

Replace Japan with Germany and I'm in.

Furthermore, it completely defeats the purpose of sovereigns citizenry. Aren't they supposed to not recognize the government's authority ? If their plate was issued by the DOT, it means they entered a contract with them. Or something like that, not 100% sure about the (lack of) logic here.

When I became a Canadian citizen, around a decade ago, I pledged fealty to Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada.

So, Canada (and probably Australia too) is a kingdom different from the United Kingdom, that happens to have the same monarch. Different crowns, same person under it. Given that the British monarch only retains a ceremonial role in every country that they "rules", having the same one doesn't make a lot of differences from having our separate one.

Yeah, we can also make it fun. Once someone has amassed a certain quantity of wealth, make a big ceremony, where the guy is given a trophy that says "I won capitalism". After that, every dollar he makes past the limit is taxed 100%

Yeah, the headline made it sound way worse than it actually is. Or maybe I'm biased and expect the worst when I see priest, drug and sex in the same headline.

In theory yes. In practice or will require enormous resources to build a case against the army of layers that Google and the other giants can afford. I believe only the government now is big enough to do it, with the antitrust law.

He had a costume that mimicked nudity and was singing a song about being nude (something about, if we were all nudes, there will be no wars). So i guess the description mostly nude applies here.

May I suggest you use the french tarot rules ? If there is a French community near you, you may find players among them.

Here are the rules translated in English : https://www.pagat.com/tarot/frtarot.html
