I highly recommend giving something like this series of prompts to your favorite LLM, if you like exploring absurd geopolitical dramas:
In Australia, you’re ineligible to be a member of parliament if you’re a citizen of another country. What happens if some country passes a law that all Australian MPs are automatically citizens?
What if Monaco offered each MP $5 million to visit Monaco once and confirm their citizenship for a period of 5 years, with no other requirements?
Suppose that 15% of MPs take the payment and argue they should keep their seats. Monaco publicly announces that the payment was to cover the large travel cost between the nearly antipodal countries, and that many MPs conducted globally beneficial diplomacy and cultural exchange with them and EU countries as part of their trips. What action do AFP and ASIO take?
Suppose that no state action was found, but the payments were found to be linked to a billionaire Hong Kong businessman who covertly bought Monaco real estate in exchange for this scheme. His motive seems to be differentially removing corrupt officials from Australia, whose bureaucracy he felt once harmed his business interests. Obvious suspicion on the Chinese government, but nothing concrete is found. What happens next?
Someone needs to pass a law that all current Australian MPs get automatic citizenship.
