Actaea

Okay, the situation has cleared up a bit.

He was more likely counting on a possible exception to the rules, as in his opinion, in the event of a successful deal, Greatwater's economy would receive a pleasant boost, while the new landowner would not participate in the affairs of the country's internal market since his sole goal is to obtain a place of residence for himself and his family. And if that doesn't work out, he'll hang around here for a while and fly somewhere else.

I think Avitus Cecilius Flaccus is not in the most favorable position right now. He is clearly not welcome in Rex Ventorum, and if he leaves Greatwater to seek happiness in other countries, there is a risk that he won't be welcomed there either (with open arms). ;)
Therefore, I hope he will be so kind as to listen to my proposal:
1) I am not accustomed to breaking laws, therefore purchasing a house is impossible
2) A "boost for the economy" does not interest me; however, the count is no fool and is thinking correctly. The Tsar is not against him residing on the country's territory. Naturally, not as a recluse in his own estate, but as an intelligent person useful to society.
3) Therefore, the proposal is as follows:
The count and his associates can receive a separate house for long-term lease with an option to buy in the event of obtaining citizenship. Of course, the house is not given simply "because someone wanted it," but in accordance with the right to provide housing to a foreign worker. No degradation of dignity; the work isn't grueling. Journalism, teaching, scientific, or even writing activities. Perhaps the count has achieved success in something else; this is open for discussion.
We will also select the house itself taking into account the preferences of the new residents. For example, if the count wants to teach economics at the university and does not like rattling around in a carriage cart, we will find a house within walking distance.
4) There are also minor points related to compliance with laws, i.e., stemming from the first point. For example, I've mentioned a couple of times in the thread that my immigrants salute with the flag no less than seven times a day must mandatorily obtain basic knowledge of the language and culture.

By the way, I recently received an issue where I also strictly ordered compliance with laws and made no allowances for "one's own." As a result, I imprisoned many who use light drugs. Although one point suggested to "allow it if not smoked."

p.s. I understand that the count wanted to build himself, with an individual layout, a bomb shelter, in a certain architectural style... But c'est la vie

My job is to offer.

— Now the Tsar has really gone full French! — one guard whispered to another.
— I'll tell you more: my sister-in-law finished two institutes, she says he speaks so fluently it's unbelievable. Any count would be envious, — the second guard smacked his lips with a knowing look and businesslike adjusted his slipping tubeteika.
