European Models Tournament II

@Prettyphile technically Stella is north-irish so she should be under the UK group since it’s part of the UK. 
Actually: “Stella Maynes Maxwell (born 15 May 1990) is a Belgian-born Northern Irish-New Zealand model.”

Actually citizenship laws are pretty specific. When a diplomat brings their family abroad and they have children they retain the citizenship of their parents. And as her father was a diplomat for Northern Ireland, the only part of Ireland that is still legally part of England she would be able to relate herself as British/Irish, even though she has lived outside of U.K for the vast majority of her life.

We ran into this issue years ago and actually did days worth of research on it (i'm not jk either... days). Stella is something called British/Irish but because of her dad, her country of origin is Ireland...

or i can add her for Belgium since she was born there

But she’s considering the place of birth or the nationality of their parents for this comp, if P wants to consider the place of birth, Stella goes in the Belgium team, if she chooses to follow her roots, she should be under the UK since Northern Ireland is part of the UK. Up to her  I just wanted to specify for the comp, because I know there are people who are gonna come complain later on.

Under the Belfast Agreement he Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Ireland recognise the birthright of all the people of Northern Ireland to identify themselves and be accepted as Irish or British, or both, as they may so choose, and accordingly confirm that their right to hold both British and Irish citizenship is accepted by both Governments and would not be affected by any future change in the status of Northern Ireland. Since her father who was a North Irish Diplomat and didn't consider himself to be Unionist Northern Irish identify, he was Irish. Then we have the The Constitution of the Irish Free State in which her father once again took on being Irish over Unionist. You are going to do what you are going to do, but for all semantic purposes she is Irish and if she claims to be Unionist, then she is British/Irish so at the very least she could be a part of either team. UK or Ireland..

As for Belgium

I can cheer for the Brazilian team but that doesn't mean I'm Brazilian, and to use that as a means of identifying yourself with somewhere is beyond silly. Leebo Freeman quite frequently identifies himself as British, but he was born and raised in Florida... so because he feels that he likes Britain more at some point means he's British? Stella can claim whatever she wants, but facts don't care about her feelings lol

if is not a problem with someone i'll add her in Ireland, i really don't care..no one better complain later tho

Not sure I was ever expecting to read a sentence starting "Under the Belfast Agreement" on this site but here we are

Hmm, I was afraid you'd say so.... and I was hoping you'd say it was a mistake

Well, it's not like it's my first thread to be deleted.     I'm still bothered that Yasmine Ravel's thread got deleted (and I still secretly hope it's a mistake too)
