[Mindhar]

1 - What is the legal drinking age? 18 in the Emperor's grants. 16 in many of the others. No age at all among the Shais—alcohol is culturally quite important to them.

2 - Driving age? The Mindhari government does not issue drivers' licenses. If you have enough money to buy a car, it is expected that you're old enough to know how to drive one.

3 - Age of sexual consent? None. Marriages are performed by your House; if they approve it, you can marry a newborn infant. That said, it is quite rare for anyone under the age of twelve to be taken as a wife or husband.

Premarital sex is illegal, so age of consent applies only to marriage.

4 - Voting age? Mindhar has no elections.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? The closest equivalent in Mindhari society is when one can swear allegiance to the Noble House of one's choice—typically between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. Anyone over the age of twenty-one who has not yet chosen a house is considered legally emancipated, and will have a very hard time finding work or education without choosing to become a slave.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal?

-Pot - Widely illegal. Permitted in the Free City of Salvastria, but heavily taxed.

- Tobacco - Common, hardly noticeable. As most tobacco is imported, it is quite expensive due to heavy tariffs.

- Cocaine - Illegal.

-Alcohol - Legal, but culturally frowned upon—except among the Shais, who brew extremely potent alcoholic beverages (also thought to contain natural amphetamines) to be drunk by Shai warriors prior to joining battle, under the belief that the draught makes them invincible.

- LSD - Illegal.

- Caffeine - Common, hardly noticeable. Inexpensive. Most Mindharis' drug of choice.

- Heroin - Legal—or at least, not yet restricted—but culturally frowned upon.

- Other? Many drugs are illegal. Some hallucinogens are protected, being part of traditional Tsiva ceremonies, but like all legal drugs they are distributed primarily by the government (specifically the House of Severin).

7 - Can people have guns? Yes. Many people do, particularly in legal areas. In urban areas they are much more rare; Mindhar never developed a "gun culture", there is no belief that armed societies are more polite or better behaved, and firearms are viewed primarily as a tool—useful if you live out in the country, marginally useful for self-defense but really not the kind of thing you'd talk much about in polite society. Of course there are small communities of gun enthusiasts and shooting ranges catering to them etc and the state makes a fair bit of money on import taxes for all the specialty guns and ammo they have to buy overseas.

8 - What is the official full name of your country?
The Empire of Mindhar
What is the informal name?
Mindhar
What are people of your nation called
Mindhari

9 - Do you have the death penalty? Yes. Public hangings are common in some places, but the more modern areas—where the stocks and pillories in public squares have been taken down—have come to prefer more private forms of execution, such as electrocution or gassing.

10 - What is the speed limit? The Emperor's Roads have no speed limits. Others are set by the Lord ruling that particular grant. The Keldens are the strictest about this, with 100 km/h being a maximum speed on intercity roads on Sempiterna.

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? Tsiva is the only legal religion. Freethought is tolerated. Other religions are outlawed, or taxed heavily.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - Technically legal, but culturally frowned upon. In some places selling pornography is punishable by a specified period of pillory, and those who buy it are shunned.

13-Prostitution - Legal, occasionally stigmatised. Many prostitutes are unaligned freemen who chose it over slavery or begging, and they're often viewed as pitiable unfortunates forced into whoring by circumstances. As prostitution is disapproved of by Tsiva—it subverts the natural purpose for which sexual desire was created—it's only actually illegal in the Severin grants, but in most other places it's a safe bet prostitutes are only making the best of a bad situation.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - If approved by one's House, one can have as many spouses as one desires. Multiple wives are culturally not viewed as particularly odd—the nation's uneven male/female balance does mean that many women would end up spinsters if not for polygamy—whereas multiple husbands are considered slightly decadent, the kind of thing only members of the nobility can afford to do. As well, families where the men are drafted into their house's armed forces for prolonged periods of time may often have kadhi: women who adopt the attire and social role of men, and play the role of husband to the wife, helping her to make ends meet et cetera. This is not just a wartime arrangement, as kadhi may be brought into any family whether the husband is there or not—it's viewed as culturally quite normal.

15-Homosexuality - Illegal, and widely disapproved of. But then, see the kadhi above—it's expected that (among other things) they will provide for the sexual needs of soldiers' wives, and this is viewed as perfectly normal and not homosexuality because they are "being men" at the time. Due to the number of bloody wars in Mindhari history, the resulting gender imbalance made this—along with polygamy, in peacetime—a highly practicable arrangement.

16-Stem cell research - Most Mindhari have never heard of it. The House of Avisirian is doing some tentative research.

17-Human Cloning - This hypothetical question has not yet filtered through to MIndhari society. You could ask a priest of Tsiva what he thought of it, but you'd need to hand him a dictionary as well (and possibly make up a new Mindhari word for "clone", as there's none that matches the precise connotations of that word in English).

18-Cock Fighting? Happens occasionally. Not a cultural feature. Nobody really cares about it.

19-Slavery? - Slavery is legal and divided into two categories: voluntary and penal. Those who have committed a petty crime may be punished by enslavement. Those who can't find work or are otherwise socially outcast may also choose to become slaves. Slaves earn a small stipend in addition to being granted food and housing by their employer, and serve for the longer of six years or until they have earned enough to buy their own freedom. As being a slave is a fairly comfortable life in many respects—the conditions aren't great, but it's preferable to begging, and most slaveowners will treat their property fairly well—it's viewed as a lazy way out, and slaves are disapproved of in Mindhari society. One could write a lengthy paper on the precise subtleties of Mindhari slavery; let's just say that it's not much like what you'd expect.

20-Hunting? Legal and common, particularly in rural areas. Hunting and trapping for food is the main way many rural folk acquire meat, which is otherwise very expensive. Sport hunting is limited to nobility and wealthy freemen—merchants especially. Lord Dal is known for possessing an enormous hunting range in the woodlands outside Dalskov; rumour has it that he and his retinue regularly hunt human prey (whether it's prisoners or random people they picked off the street varies by telling) but there's no proof either way.

21-Fishing - Very common. Fish is the staple food of Salvastria, Aln Dibran and the outlying islands in particular.

22-Eating meat? Yeah. Vegetarians aren't associated with any kind of ideological movement, rather simply not being rich enough to afford meat.

23-Littering? Laws vary by grant. In most cases it's a petty offense.

24-Unisex bathrooms ? Most public toilets are unisex. Of course, most public toilets also don't have running water or any facilities more notable than a hole in the ground and four walls for privacy. It's only in the more "civilised" areas—cities et cetera—that one can find sex-segregated ones.

25-Suicide? - Considered a honourable way to die. Choosing death to preserve your honour, or to end the battle against disease, or any number of other things is fairly common really.

26 - Gay marriage? - Once again, marriages are performed by your House. That said, no House has ever approved a gay marriage, and those outed as gay are typically jailed.

27-Abortion - Technically illegal, but culturally accepted, and happens very often. Abortions fall into three categories—early-stage abortions, usually involving drinking some herbal remedy to induce miscarriage; mid-stage abortions, after early-stage abortions fail (which is fairly often) and which require the services of an uncomfortably broad network of medical professionals; and late-stage abortions, for those expectant mothers who've missed the first and don't want to risk the second: smothering the newborn to death, leaving it at the doorstep of a temple or putting it in a basket and sending it downriver. Considering the appalling state of Mindhar's healthcare system, particularly in rural areas, death by childbirth is a very common fate, so abortion has never quite disappeared however much local authorities try to stamp it out.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ?
- Freemen and slaves: Premarital sex, rape, homosexuality, and infidelity are the main categories of illegal sexual activity. Masturbation is frowned upon, but not technically illegal.
- Nobility: Nothing. Particularly in the cases of rape and paedophilia, nobility are literally above the law.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? Public nudity is stigmatised but not illegal. It's simply a sign that you're too poor to afford clothes. Many beggars go about naked or clad only in rags, and temples often try to raise money to buy clothing for them. Naturism is unheard of and nudity is not seen as sexual. In fact, foreigners who do think of it this way may be quite shocked if they visit Mindhari beaches; the idea of a bathing suit is basically unheard of. Beaches catering to the small but developing tourism sector may designate specific areas that are "clothing optional" but for the most part it's going to be nudity mandatory.

30-Do you have obscenity laws? If so - how would you define "obscene". - Yes; but laws against obscenity are not as strictly enforced as laws against sedition and blasphemy. Criticising the Emperor is treason; swearing in public is merely regrettable.

31-What system do you have for taxes?
Each grant has different tax systems. The only House that does not levy income taxes is the House of Shai, and then only because so many of its vassals are warriors (and thus their incomes come directly from the House itself in the first place). Sales taxes are common.

31bImport/Export tax? All products enter the Empire either through Salvastria (where they are subject to the Emperor's tariffs, which vary depending on product and country of origin) or through the Lysia SEZ (which has a much lower flat tariff imposed by the House of Davu).

32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? There is no official "citizen" status. Anyone can emigrate to Mindhar, but they will only succeed there if they can bring themselves into a position to join a Noble House or otherwise find employment. Many foreigners wind up becoming slaves, excluding of course those who were enslaved after being taken as prisoners of war.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? Most people are allowed in, unless they have prior criminal records. As for exile, some criminals plead for it rather than the normal punishment, but whether it's granted depends on the judge.

34-What type of government are you? Absolute monarchy, with society organised under a quasi-feudal system

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? The government has absolute rights over all content produced in or entering Mindhar. Censorship is fairly common.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? For example –
A wide variety.

- If you're a freeman, it's much better to be poor or middle-class. The wealthier one is, the more one is distrusted—merchants, businessmen, bankers and the like are often viewed quite poorly. This doesn't apply to the nobility, who are extremely well respected; of course, not respecting the nobility is a good way to get yourself thrown in jail or worse.

- There is very little conception of a right to privacy in Mindhar. People tend to live in small, densely populated knots; most business is done out in the open and the Ways of Tsiva put family and community first. Individualists and those who require solitude will thus have a hard time in the country. Many houses do not have doors, for instance. If you possess a specialised skill people will almost certainly need you to practice it—the literate often find themselves pressed into semi-unofficial work as letter writers for instance (being paid on an ad-hoc basis).

- Similarly, Mindhari view sex in a way quite alien to those who grew up with Judeo-Christian morality. First of all, children are exposed to sex from very early on—most houses are laid out in a single room and they can hardly avoid encountering their parents having sex at some point. Premarital sex is illegal—due to Tsiva beliefs about the purpose of sexual desire—but it's not especially taboo, and paedophilia will be viewed as immoral not because of the age of the participant(s) but because they're not married. Thus, you're perfectly free to have sex in public if you want—people might find it unhygienic, but if you can prove you're married, they won't especially care. This also leads to the extraordinary values dissonance of rape in Mindhari society. If a man has consensual sex with a woman he's not married to, he can be prosecuted for rape if she or her family chooses. If a man has nonconsensual sex with a woman he is married to, he's done nothing wrong. Women can't commit rape at all, and the nobility is (as mentioned above) entirely above the law.

- The value placed on human life is fairly low—death is viewed as honourable, particularly if done in such a way as to redeem one's past misdeeds, and the death of a baby or child is viewed as fairly incidental (it's not as though they had the chance to experience much of life anyway). This is partly because of Mindharis' unshakable faith in the afterlife, granted to all except the irredeemably evil, which in turn is partly due to the absolutely shitty conditions of daily life in Mindhar in the first place. However, particularly in the cases of the Houses of Shai and Dal, the emphasis on warfare and honour is harder to explain away so simply.

- You won't find many people willing to care about lots of hot-button issues. Abortion and gay marriage are basically ignored, for instance. Environmentalism is a major one in some places, but only because poor industry practices have obvious and visible negative effects. Social security is a minor problem that most people assume their House knows how to take care of. Illegal immigration nobody particularly cares about so long as the immigrants keep Tsiva, or at least don't threaten it with outside views. Et cetera. Of course, Mindharis have their own set of hot-button issues that would be largely trivial to outsiders, like football.*

* Accursed foreign sports usurping our ancient traditions! Football fans just bring immorality and decadence and un-Mindhari ideas! Protect our community—ban football! etc etc

[Alchemarsky]

[Sidhae]

1 - What is the legal drinking age? No restriction. All Sidhae enter society as fully-capable adults. The benefits of artificial breeding...

2 - Driving age? See above

3- Age of sexual consent? See above

4 - Voting age? No set age. A Sidh must complete a minimum of 3 years military service to be eligible for partaking in the democratic procedures of Imperium

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? At awakening, i.e., leaving the progenitory.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? None. Sidhae generally know better than to poison themselves with various crap, and those curious to try will find a way to get them anyway. Human populations, however, are supplied with all types of narcotics by government-controlled "black market" organizations. Drug laws (and most other laws) do not apply to humans.

Caffeine: legal and widely used in various stimulating drinks

Tobacco: no legal status; Sidhae generally prefer to avoid using substances that are detrimental to their health and efficiency

Alcohol: legal; due to more efficient metabolism, has somewhat reduced effect on Sidhae than on humans

Pot: no legal status; modified THC pills are legally available as potent painkillers, but without the narcotic effect; Sidhae mostly know better than to use the unmodified variety due to decrease of motor skills and reasoning ability it causes

LSD: illegal for causing adverse health effects and having no medical benefit

Extasy: modified variants are included in military combat stimulants, illegal for recreational use; As with all other narcotics, Sidh population generally holds a negative attitude towards it, making active enforcement unnecessary.

Cocaine: illegal

Heroin: illegal

7 - Can people have guns? Absolutely. Every Sidh must undergo mandatory periodic training in military skills, so every civilian knows at least the basics of tactics and individual armed and unarmed combat. Most, however, do not own any firearms for the lack of necessity - Imperial cities are famed for their safety, and citizens usually rely on the authorities to take care of any trouble. That is not the case on frontier worlds and in places with human majority, where virtually every citizen is armed.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called? The Imperium of Sidhae, Imperium, Sidhae

9 - Do you have the death penalty? Yes, but it is rarely applied outside of military justice. Sidhae believe that simply executing a criminal shows a rather sad lack of imagination in showing why crime is wrong and prefer other, more... convincing forms of punishment, in which the subject's death is often coincidental, if not necessarily intended.

10 - What is the speed limit? 70 kph within city limits, no limits on high-speed inter-city lanes. Most Sidhae, however, use the efficient public transportation systems to get around.

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? Sidhae aren't very much into religion. Some have taken the veneration of the Emperor to almost religious level, but consider traditional religions obsolete superstitions. Among humans, religions are even encouraged as another means to control them.

12- Porn: legal, if somewhat uncommon; Sidhae believe sexual acts should be engaged in, not watched, and given their liberal attitudes towards heterosexual sex, finding a partner is a rather easy task. Production of pornography is exclusively a human affair, however, as partaking in the production of such material is considered unfit for a dignified Sidh.

13-Prostitution: no legal status; for the reasons cited above, Sidhae do not need to resort to buying sex, and if they desire something more exotic, they can always just find and rape any human of their liking in impunity.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory: due to non-existence of marriage, it is difficult to define; having multiple partners is not uncommon, if a bit unusual;

15-Homosexuality: no legal status; eugenics has all but eliminated natural homosexuality from Sidh society. The rare Sidh with such urges is considered merely to have bizarre sexual tastes and may act them out on willing (and unwilling) humans. However, having such preferences implies genetic corruption, so known homosexuals may be called in for genetic treatment of this disorder and have their genetic material suspended from eugenics program.

16-Stem cell research: a fundamental of Sidh biotechnology; Sidhae are known to pursue far more controversial researches, and stem cells have been well-researched for many centuries already, so nobody as much as thinks of any controversy in it.

17-Human Cloning: legal, but deemed impractical; clones have shorter lifespans, reduce genetic diversity and thus increase susceptibility to disease in populations. Pure-strain clones of humans are sometimes used for various research, although "wild" specimens are also easily obtained.

18-Cock Fighting? no legal status; who would want to watch two non-sapient creatures mutilate each other when we have real gladiatorial combat between sapients available anyway?

19-Slavery? legal and common; while a Sidh may under no circumstances be enslaved, humans can and are. Powerful Sidhae often keep harems of human concubines and slaves to tend to their personal needs, mostly on frontier worlds (due to restrictions of human presence in the more developed areas).

20-Hunting? legal, if somewhat unpopular; Sidhae are generally reluctant to kill a non-sapient creature unless it is necessary for survival, not for ethical concerns, but simply because non-sapient beings are not seen as challenging enough to kill. Frontier worlds are obviously an exception.

21-Fishing see above

22-Eating meat? due to the availability of vat-grown meat which has never been part of a living creature, Sidhae have not abandoned meat in their diets, and would surely resort to farming and hunting, were such substitute not available.

23-Littering? Illegal, but our citizens generally know better than that

24-Unisex bathrooms ? Separate men's and women's rooms

25-Suicide? Very common, if somewhat disapproved of. Due to the extreme longevity of Sidhae (no Sidh has died of natural causes in the last 500 years), suicide is often the only way out if living has become unbearable. Suicides are generally referred to by euphemism "retirement". A Sidh irredeemably crippled may ask to be "retired" (euthanized).

26 - Gay marriage? non-existent like any other form of marriage

27-Abortion: non-existent, since Sidh females do not bear their young themselves, and are physically unable to due to the many augmentations in their bodies restricting space for the child to grow. Even conceiving a child without artificial aid is difficult due to the genetic differences between differently-augmented Sidhae. Humans, however, often suffer forced abortions and sterilizations for eugenic and population control purposes.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ? Sidh-on-Sidh rape; non-heterosexual activity between two Sidhae not forbidden, but considered highly unusual; all Sidh-on-human activities fully legal, including rape and sexual torture.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? While law does not regulate what citizens must wear, there is a common consensus on what dress is acceptable and proper. Sidhae have a plethora of professional uniforms, which members of those professions wear with pride. Casual dress is expected to be of dark colors and minimal decoration. Sidhae try to live by the Emperor's words: "It is deeds not clothes that speak of a man's worth".

30-Do you have obscenity laws? Public swearing, indecent exposure and irreverent remarks towards the Emperor, the Empress or anything pertaining to them are forbidden. While the former two will simply earn the offender a fine and public apology, the latter, depending on the context, may also be interpreted as treason. A non-traitorous irreverence towards the Emperor would, for example, be swearing by His blood (as in "By the Emperor's blood..."), which is considered a very strong expression not to be said in polite society.

31-What system do you have for taxes? Progressive

32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? One must be a Sidh (augmented according to standard augmentation protocols, meet a minimum genetic, health and fitness standard, be indoctrinated and sworn in Sidh ways), to partake in politics, one must also have completed a minimum of 3 years military service term.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? We generally do not welcome any outsiders, considering our long-standing hostile relations with Mankind and the Skargh Empire. Human defectors who come here to become Sidhae for one reason or another are thoroughly screened and those deemed fit are converted into Sidhae and accepted.

34-What type of government are you? Monarchy with elements of military democracy

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? However it deems necessary. In practice, however, censorship is rarely applied, because all media is state-run.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? Speaking ill of the Emperor or anything pertaining to Him is considered blasphemy tantamount to treason, and is dealt with very swiftly and mercilessly. Someone expressing un-Sidh views (such as pacifism, human equality, rejection of Sidh supremacy, general criticism of Sidh ways, etc.) will almost certainly face repercussions from his fellow citizens, at worst being declared amfiat (traitor) and banished from society. Sidhae are also expected to follow the Way, a traditional code of honour, in dealing with each other. They are not, however, obliged to observe this code in dealing with non-Sidh species.

[Mileena Controlled America]

1. The drinking age is 21 for civilians and 18 for all military personnel. We use special I.D. cards for military members that have been proven very difficult to replicate.

2. The driving age is 15 for a leaner's permit, 16 for a Class D license, and 18 for Class C and above.

3. The age of consent has recently been raised to 18 nationwide. Also, punishments for statutory rape have intensified dramatically.

4. There is no voting age since elections have been suspended. Under normal circumstances, it would be 18.

5. The age of majority is 18.

6. We do not allow recreational drug use.

7. Guns are allowed for all adults over 18, assuming they are not felons and natural-born or naturalized citizens.

8. The United States of America

9. Of course! The most common method of death penalty is hanging, or for more gruesome punishments, firing squad.

10. It depends on the road. Ranges from 35 mph to 70 mph.

11. We allow freedom of religion, but we don't restrict religion either. That means people can worship in public and express themselves religiously as long as they are not forceful or violent.

12. Porn is legal, but only for adults. Parents must censor porn from their children themselves, but private companies offer programs and other ways to do so.

13. Prostitution is absolutely illegal in all cases.

14. Only monogamous marriages are allowed.

15. Homosexuality isn't legal per se, but a majority of our citizens do not care for it. It's avoided in polite company. Then again, all sexual topics are. Although, transsexualism is considered fine and fully legal.

16. Stem cell research is fully allowed.

17. Perfectly legal, and is quite advanced.

18. Cock-Fighting is illegal and harshly punished. Chickens are for eating.

19. Slavery is illegal. Some say the prison chain gangs are slavery, but we're not selling them off to bidders and landowners. Therefore, that's not slavery.

20. Hunting is legal assuming the correct season is in and you obtain a license.

21. Legal, but you need explicit permission to fish on property that is not yours or pay a fee to fish on a public lot.

22. Meat eating is legal and encouraged. Cannibalism is legal depending on the situation.

23. Littering is illegal. Pick that trash up.

24. Unisex bathrooms are totally allowed, including multiple person ones. Rape is a very small problem here.

25. We can't really punish someone for suicide if they succeed, but we address the issue properly if someone fails at suicide. Forced suicide for the death penalty is open for debate.

26. Gay marriages are illegal in all states.

27. Abortion is not an issue since normal pregnancies are a thing of the past. All inseminations are artificial.

28. Only types of sex that don't involve children, animals, violence, or gore (includes scat and vomit) are officially prohibited. Anal and oral sex do not fall under sodomy laws, and some polls claim anal happens much more than vaginal in heterosexual relationships.

29. We mandate clothing in public. Can't force only ugly people to dress up.

30. You can swear, but in public you can always get in trouble for disturbing the peace if you swear up a storm.

31. We use income, sales, and property tax. However, our income tax is special. Instead of taxing an individual, we tax their company (or whomever they work for) a fixed rate and receive it before employees receive payroll. That way, taxes are brought in regularly, it gives less hassle for regular people, and becomes easier to enforce the tax. Those who illegally ignore taxation are punished strongly.

32. Either be born here or pass a citizenship test and a background check to become naturalized. Although they don't need it, natural born citizens are expected to know how to pass the citizenship test during history courses.

33. If you're coming here legally and you're not here to cause trouble, welcome in. We're very picky though, so you better walk the line. That includes natural born citizens.

34. We are in marshal law for now, but normally we're a representative democracy.

35. We censor media as we deem necessary. Anti-government, unpatriotic, and revolutionary themes often get censored way more than moderate violence or nudity/sex.

36. Since most citizens practice Christianity, Judeo-Christian values are popular in the nation.

There is very little censorship and restriction, as Ebanteos is usually seen as a fine nation by the international community, coupled with our low levels of corruption in the government.
