Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain exile, relay forms, legal status and historical and cultural examples from history, political science and human rights sources with contested cases attributed, describe the named forms and communities, and distinguish exile from refugee status, deportation, diaspora, emigration and imprisonment.

The state of being barred from or forced to live away from one s home country or region, imposed by a government as punishment or political repression, or chosen to escape persecution, including banishment and internal forms such as the confino di polizia of Fascist Italy, which sent opponents to remote islands and villages, and collective experiences the registry aliases name such as the Spanish Republican exile after 1939 and the Cuban exile community that formed after the 1959 revolution, whose political views are diverse; the alias confinement is broader and appears loosely filed. Exile has shaped literature and politics, from Ovid to modern dissidents, and descriptions of specific exiles and governments involved are attributed. Forced exile of citizens is restricted under international human rights law.

What it is for: Not applicable; a condition and a punishment.

It can be explain forms; relay law and history; describe named forms and communities; present contested cases with attribution.
