McDickus family: Difference between revisions

Mujamydick McDickus was born at the Foster's Island Migration Detention Facility in [[Valēka]], [[Kiygrava]] to then-Lieutenant Biggus McDickus and Nergüi Gurbanguly, a stateless woman of indeterminate Turkic-speaking ethnicity. Because [[Kiravian nationality law]] does not transmit Kiravian citizenship from Kiravian fathers to any illegitimate offspring by non-Kiravian mothers, Mujamydick was born a stateless person. His mother, an illegal immigrant who had been working as a hotel housekeeper in [[Cities of Kiravia#Iselin|Iselin, Niyaska]] before being apprehended by the Migration Authority, was awaiting a deportation hearing at the time of his birth. The judge ordered a {{wp|stay of proceedings}} in the case until an interpreter speaking a Turkic dialect suitably similar to Gurbanguly's could be found, which ended up taking almost a year. Ultimately, a court-appointed attorney was able to have Gurbanguly released from custody and allowed to remain in Kiravia for two months in order to locate her child's father. At the time, McDickus was in active combat in the Echo Islands and could not be recalled to Great Kirav until just before Gurbanguly was due to leave the Federacy. Though still not a Kiravian citizen or national, Mujamydick was granted {{wp|leave to remain}} in Kiravia until adulthood. He was raised primarily by his Uncle Thickus and his wife Daria McDickus at various Kiravian airbases.
