1. Does your nation have a tourism industry?
It is our primary industry.

2. Are there any tourist-oriented government services?
Yes, lots. One caveat, the areas outside the urban or farmed areas are unmanaged and kept wild. Expeditions are organized at one's own risk. The government does not do rescue parties. However, reputable tour companies are experienced and take novice tourists to known sites and maintain their own S&R crews for emergencies. As long as visitors do not go haring off into the woods alone there is little danger.

Lots of wind also generates great surfing conditions.

by **-The Unified Earth Governments-** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:34 pm

1. Does your nation have a tourism industry? Yes
2. Are there any tourist-oriented government services? Yes, one for each world.
3. How prevalent is racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in your nation? 3 would get you a weird look as the term is mostly ancient and lost on people for a bit. In regards to the first two there is minimal distrust of Turians, very fewer for Salarians, and a small paranoid fringe against Asari, a very large percentage of the population outright distrust Batarians and its even possible for the law to look away if Batarian visitors not from the Hegemony itself are not served. While some in government offices try to combat this, such a campaign would be massively expensive, and would require a total shift in Batarian culture and actions before people get comfortable around them. Thankfully some Batarians have said they understand the reasons perfectly, due to bad blood between them and Humanity.
4. How well do citizens speak foreign languages? Not required, people use translators.
5. How are tourists viewed by the citizens? By the government? See earlier

by **Reloria** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:11 am

1. Does your nation have a tourism industry? Yes, tourism is a major industry in Reloria.

2. Are there any tourist-oriented government services? Yes, the government actively supports tourist industries, including programmes designed to aid tourists during their stay (information kiosks, etc).

3. How prevalent is racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in your nation? It isn't.

4. How well do citizens speak foreign languages? While all Relorians speak Relorian as their native language, English has been a mandatory subject in Relorian schools for 30 years now - and even before that it was a commonly-studied subject. The majority of Relorians - certainly within tourist areas - speak at least conversational English. Other languages are spoken by a smaller number of people too, with the 'big three' being French, German, and Italian.

5. How are tourists viewed by the citizens? By the government? Most Relorians are happy to help tourists, some even flattered that they have chosen Reloria to visit out of all of the other countries in the world. Many are curious about other countries themselves, and are happy to converse with tourists about their own homes. Reloria is a nation of individuals, and your mileage may vary, but as a collective people Relorians are generally helpful and friendly, and will lend their aid to lost or confused visitors as best they can.

The government, as evidenced by its support for the industry, is happy to accommodate tourists, and the Relorian Neutrality Act means that people of all nationalities are welcome to visit.

6. Are there guided tours in different languages? All tour guide companies hire people with a broad range of foreign language skills for this very purpose. Given the multitude of languages that exist in the world there are bound to be gaps, but most of the more common languages are covered.

7. What is your nation's weather like? Reloria experiences a warm Mediterranean climate all year, and even in the middle of winter the average temperature is unlikely to dip below 15°C. While there is light rainfall interspersed throughout the year, you're unlikely to need a coat or an umbrella unless you visit during the September -> November period, which is affectionately known as 'monsoon season' by natives - though this is an exaggeration, as it rains only slightly more than usual.

If you try to climb any of the mountains in northern Reloria, however, it is advisable wrap up warm. As is the case on any mountain, temperatures plummet as one approaches the summit.

8. Is your nation in a war or civil war? No. Reloria is a neutral country with a stable, democratic government.

9. How common is gang violence? Crime is not a problem in Reloria generally - organised and/or violent crime even less so. Standard precautions apply.

10. Are there any politically or religiously motivated attacks? No.

11. How common are natural disasters and epidemics? Reloria is blissfully free of regular natural disasters, though the occasional hurricane is known to strike the east coast every few years. Disease epidemics are uncommon, with rare carriers of particularly dangerous infectious diseases generally detected and treated quickly by a robust public healthcare system. Drinking water is clean and safe throughout the country, and government public safety organisations zealously monitor the contents and hygiene of all food, whether store-bought or served in a restaurant.

by **Itali** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:46 am

1. Does your nation have a tourism industry? Yes, it is well develped.
2. Are there any tourist-oriented government services? There is a whole Directorate-General of the Ministry of National Culture, Tourism and Sport; its peripheral articulations are the Provincial Tourist Information Bureau and the Tourist Information Points; the latter ones are operated also by the intelligence, but it is a secondary aspect.
3. How prevalent is racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in your nation? Italian people is not racist in the Western ordinary meaning; hostile feelings are reserved for immigrants, not for tourists. On the other hand, homosexual tourist are tolerated, not accepted.
4. How well do citizens speak foreign languages? Quite badly.
5. How are tourists viewed by the citizens? By the government? Italian citizens rely for a significant part of their income on tourism-related activities; however, given the Italian cultural heritage, a servile behaviour is disapproved. The government welcomes honest tourists, and usually police are more incline to tolerate illegal activities if the author is a tourist.
6. Are there guided tours in different languages? Yes, it is a thriving industry.
7. What is your nation's weather like? The Italian Social Republic is a Mediterranean nation; the northern plains have a continental climate.

9. How common is gang violence? It is very uncommon, but in some peripheries of some major cities (as Scampia, Napoli).
10. Are there any politically or religiously motivated attacks? Due to the rise of militant Islamism, the terror attack alert is high.
11. How common are natural disasters and epidemics? Quite uncommon, thank you.

by **Ulvena** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 10:21 am

1. Does your nation have a tourism industry? Yes, very well developed but like most industries, is a private endeavor.

2. Are there any tourist-oriented government services? There is a Ministry of Works that oversees the Department of Culture and Tourism, which runs the various information centers and approves/rejects projects that companies wish to undertake. They also hand out contracts to companies in an impartial and semi-transparent way.

3. How prevalent is racism, xenophobia, and homophobia in your nation? Racism is an everyday occurrence but it has severely declined in the last few decades. In the rural farmlands of the Joseon peninsula, racism is alive and well, directed towards both Imperial subjects and colonials who aren't of Joseon or Chinese blood. In the major cities and suburbs, due to colonials and tourists, racism is very low if at all noticeable, same with Xenophobia. Homophobia is constant throughout most major cities as around 30-40% of the population disapprove of homosexual relationships and 20% of them actively show it.

4. How well do citizens speak foreign languages? All citizens are taught to speak Korean and English. Anyone who graduated from high school in the last 30 years can speak both languages fluently. Most tour guides are also good at a third or fourth language, usually Spanish or Chinese.

5. How are tourists viewed by the citizens? By the government? Walking dollar signs. And hence, tourists are treated well and as long as a tourist doesn't harm another person or their businesses by doing so: illegal activities are generally ignored. Citizens in most metropolitan areas scarcely even notice because of all of the diverse groups of people in these areas, which comes from running almost a third of the world.

6. Are there guided tours in different languages? Yes. Tour guides are usually offered at hotels and airports but there are some available in the city independent of these places. Nearly every major language is accounted for.

7. What is your nation's weather like? Very diverse. The Imperial homeland spans from the near tropical climates of Jeju island to the frigid cold of the Gyungmi Peninsula, once a part of Russia. The highest influx of tourists come in the Sandong Peninsula and the Joseon Peninsula, which sport very temperate, slightly warmer climates. There's also enough geographical diversity within the peninsula from the warm sun of the beaches to the blistering cold near the border between Goguryeo Province (formerly part of Manchuria) and the Joseon Peninsula.

8. Is your nation in a war or civil war? We're in an ongoing civil war in the District Area of Yemen and Oman due to rebel freedom fighters and experiencing some minor rebellion in the District Area of Vietnam. But tourists aren't allowed in the former and the latter is exclusive only to jungles locked down by the military. So tourists don't even know what's going on.

9. How common is gang violence? Moderate. Large cities have gangs and that's just a fact of life you have to deal with. But these gangs rarely fight on busy streets and tourists are well informed as to what parts of the city have higher rates of gang violence at the airport tourist kiosks. We have a very prevalent and disciplined police force that openly and discreetly patrol public areas of the city. Smaller cities and suburbs have very small rates of gang violence, if any.

10. Are there any politically or religiously motivated attacks? In the Imperial homeland? Once in the last ten years and the perpetrator was publicly hanged. In District Areas (colonies), tourists are encouraged to go in groups and these groups have several guards, usually mercenaries or retired soldiers.

11. How common are natural disasters and epidemics? Our dual healthcare system and technologically sophisticated medical systems render most epidemics isolated at best. No major epidemic has hit the Neo-Joseon Empire since the V2-A outbreak in the late 1950s. Natural disasters vary as to where you go but the Joseon peninsula rarely experiences natural disasters. The worst you'll get is a tornado off the shores of one of the island resorts that knocks out the power lines for a few hours.
