That is correct.

But I am sure that your nation has other ways of getting around, like other nations, right?

[Maraque]

Remain neutral in international affairs, don't piss off potential enemies, and hope for the best.

There's nothing in the City-State that anyone would want, anyway.

Your nation has a lot people. And they are all atheists. And women dominate society...

Therefore you must realize that we soon liberate and civilize your nation by any means.

[Maraque]

Go ahead.

[Seperate Vermont]

In Runoffs, what does your system prefer?

Instant-runoff voting, or a two round strategic system.

[Sorry, Im asking too many questions ]

[Maraque]

Two-round.

(OOC: There is no such thing as too many questions! They're good as historical facts or figures in case I ever change a position ICly - which I have done a few times.)

[I agree- Good postmarkers and questions bring about thought and answers.
I give you full permission to bombard me with questions in my factbook though ]

[Maraque]

OOC: I just might have to take you up on that offer.

Why should animals be granted the same rights if their intelligence level will not allow them to be able to function in humanoid lifestyles?

[Maraque]

Why should animals be granted the same rights if their intelligence level will not allow them to be able to function in humanoid lifestyles?

Animals don't have rights per se, they just are afforded the freedom to roam without fear of entrapment, murder, assault, pain and suffering, etc.

As for the reason - a being's perceived intelligence level is not an adequate - or morally sound - reason to deny them dignity, respect and freedom.

And aren't certain animals even more intelligent in ways Humans couldn't possibly or simply do not understand, and to treat them arrogantly with our sense of intelligence is to simply turn our back on scientific progress?

Err...To make that question more sound in this thread.... add "In your nation?"

That is correct. Studies in the region have shown that animals indigenous to the region have shown higher intelligence levels than similar animals in other parts of the world.

They have a heightened sense of awareness, and are able to understand rudimentary English and communicate with humans in non-verbal ways. But animals have always been held in a high regard - the new study just set in stone our belief.

How does your nation's society deal with allegations specifically of child indoctrination, to expand on your factbook, national info topics entry for the proceedings of Child Abuse?

[Kalakda]

What is the City-State's opinion on Radical/Fundamentalist Islam, an ideology that has caused problems for Kalakda for decades?

[Maraque]

How does your nation's society deal with allegations specifically of child indoctrination, to expand on your factbook, national info topics entry for the proceedings of Child Abuse?

Maraquean society in general believes a child should be able to think for themselves and parents will allow them freedom to make their own decisions at a young age, as to give them critical thinking skills later in life.

Forcing a specific thought or belief on a child to the point of indoctrination is considered a gross violation of a child's intellect and innocence.

What is the City-State's opinion on Radical/Fundamentalist Islam, an ideology that has caused problems for Kalakda for decades?

We only concern ourselves with radical fundamentalists if they actually act upon their radicalism to commit vicious crimes against the City-State and its people. We do not persecute thoughts or beliefs - just actions motivated by them.

Has your nation ever thought of moving a few citizens on another planet? I mean given your nation's vast population and the most certainty that lots of resources are on your planet, your nation should find more room, no?

Our space program was halted indefinitely because of lack of funds, let alone the cost to explore the universe for a viable planet to terraform, build infrastructure on and colonize.

[Youvtha]

Yet your nation has a Gross Domestic Product of $544,039 billion [Sunset] and a Government Budget of $13,869 billion? Has the government not allowed in the absense of funds private organizations to develop a space program with a government initiative?

I feel sympathetic for your nation. We are already having plans to expand into space further with about 1/20 of the population and yet, your nation of 10 billion which should be able to afford it, is not able to do it?

[Saurisia]

Would Maraque pursue a space program in the future when it has more funds to do so?
