There are no Moroccan laws relating to citizenship of moorish subjects in morocco. The fundamental laws of this non Christian country are based entirely upon the Islamic code, no part of which treats of the subject of citizenship.
There are, however, numerous treaties and convictions between the various Christian countries and the moorish empire, by means of which citizenship in this country is defined; but as I understand, from the above-acknowledged instructions, that it is not the desire of the department to call for a report upon such lines, i will therefore confine these remarks to general conditions existing, which may possibly, be of some use in connection with the information desired.
(1) citizenship in morocco may be said to be governed by the laws pertaining to the same in other countries, which the exception that all persons residing in morocco who can not prove foreign citizenship or protection are considered ipso jure as moorish subjects.
(2) moorish subjects lost their nationality only by becoming naturalized in, or protected by, another country having treaty relations with the moorish empire.
