Saluting is highly uncommon among the civilian populace of the Dominion, but when wants to convey great respect without language that can be mistaken, you place your right fist over your heart and bow very slightly.

The military salute is identical to the US Army salute. Saluting superior officers can only be forgone in combat situations, to prevent enemy snipers from recognizing the command structure easily.

Saluting has been quite a long tradition way before Charlotte Ryberg was founded. Although it is now no longer mandatory, our military still uses it as tradition.

In our military, on formal occasions servicemen are requested to hold their weapon over their chest with their right hand, and when outside, required to fire one found at the end of the ceremony.

Ours is much like most modern military salutes, but new recruits must bow at the waist. Once reaching private satus, they are allowed to salute normally.

OOC: You're not contributing anything to this thread by posting lots of pictures of Nazis. We get it; you think pretending to be a Nazi is cool and edgy; you don't need pictures to put the point across. It would appear that you're just trying to be controversial for the sake of getting a reaction and I would appreciate it if you didn't do it in this thread.

The traditional Prussian salute is placing two fingers on your left hand against your forehead, and then placing your right hand against your chest. All soldiers in the Prussian Royal Army are expected to use it in front of a high ranking officer, and all citizens of Prussia are expected to use it in the presence of the current King or Queen.

That reminds me of the comedy routine where the fellow takes off his hat to shake hands but he already has his cane and gloves in the other hand, so he has to put his hat back on. After going through a number of combinations to try to get one hand free, he winds up putting his hat on the other person's head.

Really, how practical is a two-handed salute?

Not very, nor is it as classy, if you want my view. Lamington's soldiers just use the Anglo-American salute, developed from the days when a knight would reveal his face when meeting somebody on the road.

Having a nation primarily of turtles and mushrooms makes saluting in the Republic complex.

  • In the turtle population, a "salute" is considered to be raising one's neck as high as possible and looking the person receiving the salute in the eyes. This is used by the military.
  • Mushrooms lack hands or feet, and have major trouble bending. Their "salute" is to bow and say "we salute you" to the receiver, followed by their full rank/title and full name, whilst bowing. For instance, "we salute you, Chancellor Marvin Weirdidea, Head Turtle of the Republic of TurtleShroom!". Only when they finish addressing the other may they raise back up.This is used by the military and by civillians; they have no other way of doing so.
  • Humans perform the traditional American salute, but they also put their left arm behind their back at their waistline, horizontally. This is only used by the military. Civillians put their left arm behind their back at their waistline, horizontally, and lower their heads down a bit. The military salute was brought to TurtleShroom by the humans andwholly accepted, the while civillian one has religious ties (prayer often involves looking down). The left arm thing started as a simple courtesy of the other species. Turtles walk on all fours and mushrooms lack limbs or internal organs. Putting your left arm behind you back like that is simply a respect to the other creatures, who don't have the same freedom of appendages as humans.


In the military, a lower ranking officer always salutes to the higher rank before speaking. The higher one responds with the same salute, normally coupled with a smile. Then, they converse.

Though not mandated, it is customary for civillians to salute to a flying battleship when it hovers by them. Yes, we have flying battleships. The military are required to do it.


It is considered very respectful to salute to the Chancellors if they pass by or speak to someone. It isn't mandated, though.

However, in a seated event (like a ballgame or meeting) when the Chancellor starts moving (in the case of Fugusamongus Lamepun, the mushroom) or stands up (in the case of Marvin Weirdidea, the turtle), it is respectful for all of the turtles and humans in the room to stand up along with him. The mushrooms should keep quiet when a Chancellor gets moving. If it's Fungusamongus, everyone can sit down once he leaves. If it's Marvin, everyone can sit down after a twenty second period passes (turtles are SLOW).

Plus it makes people like me (i.e. actual Fascists, and of non-Nazi variety) look extremely bad. Posers really do bother me.

Just for the record, I do NOT RP as a Fascist nation or claim to be Fascist to be "cool and edgy." I do so because I honestly believe in the ideology, and RP my nation mainly how I would run a nation in RL. If you notice, I generally opt for pictures of Spanish, Italian, and other Fascists rather than Nazis, but if I must reference them, so be it.

You DO realize that mushrooms are simply the reproductive structure of a fungus, right?

So saying that bending causes fatalities is equivalent to saying snapping one's phallus (by, in this case, having it bend down on its own accord) is going to cause death.

Even if you weren't a Fascist in real life you'd be one of the few I wouldn't have a problem with RPing a Fascist nation on NS since you actually make a decent job it rather than, like, every other Fascist nation here; the ones which just go "Wee r facsist we h8 jooz an blacks and white peepl AND WANT hITLER's babies HEILEILEILEILEILEILEILEILEILEILEIL!!!1!!11!"

Saluting is only rarely used by the more disciplined Militia units in Pevisopolis. More commonly, militant fighters will greet each other with a handshake or hug.
