"In a landmark move towards ending statelessness, Thailand’s cabinet has approved an accelerated pathway to permanent residency and nationality for nearly half a million stateless people, marking one of the region’s most significant citizenship initiatives. 

The decision announced on Friday [November 1, 2024] will benefit 335,000 longtime residents and members of officially recognized minority ethnic groups, along with approximately 142,000 of their children born in Thailand.

“This is a historic development,” said Ms. Hai Kyung Jun, UN refugee agency (UNHCR) Bureau Director for Asia and the Pacific. The measure is expected to dramatically reduce statelessness, addressing the situation of the majority of nearly 600,000 people currently registered as stateless in the country.

Thailand’s commitment to eradicating statelessness has positioned the Government as a leader in addressing this humanitarian challenge, the agency said.

The country recently pledged at the Global Refugee Forum 2023 to resolve statelessness and was among the founding members of the Global Alliance to End Stateless, an initiative launched by UNHCR, the UN refugee agency, in Geneva last month...

UNHCR has expressed its commitment to continue working closely with the Royal Thai Government on the implementation of this groundbreaking decision and to ending statelessness overall."

1. What are the differences between playing as MC from Irish, British or French besides of course where they are from?

2. Which one of the 3 is your favourite and why?

Okay I realised now that's three questions... Sorry.

All good things come in threes!

The differences amount to experiences: different cultural climates and events happening at home; different bonding experiences with certain characters e.g. Léon speaks French so that's point of connection for him as a French MC; different upbringings, French MC is the most affluent, or at the very least middle class, while Irish and British MCs are both working class, council tenants.

so why not saying the hc(or canon idk) nationalities of my umtv characters:

Maryam: Russian and Turkish

Darkness: Russian

Lavender: Japanese

Siren: Australian

Moth: Brazilian

Ptero: Egyptian

Void: German

Alien: uh, the space?

Seraph and Abyssal: doesn't have any bc what, but lets say they are british

Sky, Dusk and Dawn: Chinese and Greek

Barn: European
