Denization

Okay kiddo, have you ever heard of a den? It's like a small, cozy place where animals like foxes or rabbits live. Well, denization is like giving someone permission to live in a certain place, just like an animal has permission to live in its den.

Long ago, there were countries where people were not allowed to live unless they were born there or they were invited by the government. But some countries would let people live there if they got something called denization. It's like a special permission slip that lets you live in the country, work there, and have some of the same rights as someone who was born there.

So basically, denization is like getting permission to live in a new place and have some of the same rights as the people who were born there. It's like being invited to share someone else's den!
