1. Gdzie ja jestem?

A uncommon problem, but not without a solution. Exchange student and visitors have several classes and courses available to learn the lingo. Interestingly, Low Prut, the language of the Prut, is not taught deliberately to non-Prut, for many reason. Foreigners are taught German first and when they reach a sufficent level of expertise, they are encouraged to pick up Low Prut by themself, as this is the only way to learn it properly. As a immidiate response to his confusion, someone capable of speaking his language, or a common language like english would be found and such a person would interact with him until he is capable of communicating with others.

2. Where I come from this is ok!

By and large, Prut society is cosmopolitan and tolerant, so serious clashes are unlikely to happen. However, social, educational, cultural and political policies are layed out and applied in such a way as to encourage assimilation or at least strong adaptation to Prut Society. In order to retain any rights and join Prut society at large, the language must be mastered, the philosophy and behavior must be adopted and the Prut way of being must be accepted voluntary. Most Immigrant come here because they are willing to do so, as Neo Prutenia is a true Meritocracy, because of such distinctive traits.

Yet, the State has several methods to prevent cultural clashes. First off, the Government determines where you will live. Most foreigners are lumped together into the same building, preferably a old one where they are left alone for a few years. As soon as that building and/or district begins to take the shape of a cultural enclave - i.e. Chinatown, Little Italy, Polonia, etc the building is razed on the grounds of being to old and the Immigrants are given new appartments in various districts around the city. The locations are chosen in such a way as to ensure that the next neighbor to a Immigrant must be Prut. Their new communities are warned in advance about the future influx of Immigrants and they are prepared accordingly - residents are taught about the Immigrants culture, language and religion.

When the now dispersed immigrants arrive, they are greated warmly and accepted, even encouraged to participate in the community works, politics and events. Soon they devlop a sense for being "Prut". As they are already in a local environment which shows knowledge and acceptance of their culture, they are encouraged to learn more about Prut general society. This goes double for children of Immigrants, as both primary and secondary schools are mandatory and free. By lifting the typical "siege" mentality immigrants often experience when they arrive in a new land, clashes are avoided and integration is encouraged.

Interestingly, those who refuse to adapt face the same repercussions as Prut who avoid participating in a more pro-social role in their nation - rejection. Such subjects are simply ignored passively and face severe social pressure, have more trouble advancing in their career, have more trouble in forming a family or healthy relationships as well as more problems in maintaining friends. Such individuals are weeded out after the first generation, as the second already came through the "meltin pot" while they went through their school life. But even the first generation can be welded and accepted into Prut society with some effort. Only those actively opposed to adapting face such repercussions. Our policy is clear: " You don't like it, then either change it or leave. "

3. Speak Prut

Unacceptable. Such a Legislator would not be tolerated. All government, and by extension military, business is to be held and conducted in High Prut, and artifical and constructed language which is a prerequisite for having any kind of occupation in Politics and the Military. High Prut, as well as Low Prut, the national languages, have neither dialects, nor accents, as such deviations are deliberately destroyed and eliminated, mostly during the scholl process. Such a man would hardly be accepted in Prut Politics and he would be forced to resign. The policy is clear on those matters: " Speak Prut! "

4. ???

Need more specifications to answer. The only recognised national languages are Low Prut(Standard), High Prut(Administrative, Legal and Military), German and English(Diplomatic, Media). Every other language is accepted but not recognised as a national language, and even english is disputed, as not all speak the lingo. None of these languages may be overturned without changing the Constitution, so regardless of how many protests are staged, it would be futile. A general referenda of the entire population would need to be held, and the populace would hardly accept such profound changes.

5. We are not supposed to teach the kids anything, that is indoctrination!

A hot topic in these lands. Public opinion and the official stance of the Government is that a certain degree of "Indoctrination" is unavoidable when it comes to children and school, as well as people in general. A person will be shaped by his environment, if he is willing or not, therefore, the values imprinted on a individuum have to reflect the best, most desirable traits of said culture, while maintaining a tolerance, understanding and open-mind for others point of view. Morality, or to be more precise, thinking and operating on a higher level of morality is the key value that is imposed on children's minds.

Cultural neutrality is not only a mythos, but it is seen as something regressive and dangerous, a way back into the atavistic mindset of the early humans. Civilization and Progress demands not only a steady pace forward, but also the continuation from where our predecessors stopped. Wasting their achievements and teaching others to not be what they inherently are, only to let them be coloured by the same values later on or by something else netirely is not only a crime, but a vile negation of civilizational values, disrespect to ones predecessors and downright stupid, intellectually uneconomical and anathema to any advanced human society.

6. I won't speak Prut

Fair enough, the person has the choice to do so. Sadly, all government service is in Low Prut and High Prut, and no one will be willing to communicate with him because of such anti-social tendencies, so he'd either be forced to learn the lingo, develop telepathic abilities and leave the country. By foot probably, as buying a ticket out also requires some knowledge of the national languages. There is a fine line between being tolerant and acceptable of others, and spoiling them and letting them behave like they see fit. That is "criminal" behavior, although in the loosest sense of the world. Not illegal, but not acceptable either. We have no problem to send you to a deserted island if you are so desperate to preserve your egoncentrism and individuality, that's what Bornholm is there for anyway.

7. Our values are lacking

Not entirely applicable, as such policies are already implemented. It is entirely possible, as a Prut, to be a nationalist communitarian patriot and at the same time a Cosmopolitan World Citizen, as the cultural legacy, heritage and values of our society not only permit, but actively promote such a state of being.

8. But this is unacceptable where I come from!

No. You cannot assault someone for percieved slights. A vegetarian cannot assault a person eating a burger in public, nor can a Hindu assault a person enjoying a calf steak. A Greek cannot assault a Prut for giving him a thumbs up, nor can a Turk assault a Sorb for giving him the ok sign. Neither can a Prut assault someone for swearing. Everyone is offended by something, learning to cope with such feelings and issues is the sign of a mature, wise and social person. Acting on ones impulses is a invitation for a visit from the local law enforcement, or getting shot in the head for attacking someone physically.

Leran to live and let live. The person who commited the illegal act will be punished. The person who commited the "social crime" will be warned, but not punished. Continual harassment of cultural minorities by exploiting their social/cultural values is no longer a slight or faux pas, but a serous, illegal crime, to be punished accordingly.

9. Respect our authoritah!

No can do. No step leading to a possible defragmentation of general Prut society on any ground is permitted. Not that there are any cultural subgroups within Prut Society which might feel this need, but even if there where, such policies would be avoided. There are however, two exceptions, as these groups had valid historical, cultural and political arguments - The Sorbs and the Prutenic Knights. Sorbs are a westernslavic people living within Neo Prutenia and they are fully integrated into Prut society - sharing with the Prut everything but blood. So it is of utmost importance to preserve their cultural distinctiveness. The Prutenic Knights on the other hand are a entity which exists for longer then Neo Prutenia, and even the Prutenia, the predecessor of the country. As such, they are a esteemed, influential and well respected entity whose sovereignity is respected and enforced.

10. Now you have to write that in french, or you will to pay a fine.

Such policies are already implemented. Local linguistic minorities can write things in their language, but they need to write it first in Low Prut and German, and no exceptions are made. The State writes and prints information, signs and documents exclusively in High Prut, Low Prut and German, rarely the occasional English, while the Sorb minority uses their language and the Prutenic Knights use Latin.

The national language is confined mainly to formal or official communication, and fluency is not required for foreigners, however, anybody not fluent in English is barred from the country.

They are given a choice between assisted repatriation or imprisonment.

This simply would not happen. The job is dependent wholly on putting your ideas across, and if nobody can understand you, you don't have a chance of getting in.


A protesting group demands that national language recognition be overturned. What is your nation's reaction?
The nation will only ever support the national language and English.


Another protesting group, which happens to include a maimed and bruised anarchist, demands that not only bilingualism, but a "cultural neutrality" policy be implemented in all government services, in particularly in schools.
National culture has always, and will remain, a key aspect of the education system. Failure to recognise and act accordingly with the national culture is almost unheard of and is effectively social suicide. The protestors would likely be imprisoned.


A person refuses to learn the defacto language, and is considered by some to voice his opposition in some language to "shocking and dissent-worthy" means.
Refusal to learn the defacto language results in expulsion from the nation.


A very respected leader has recently begun to question "traditional values and culture", in favor, as they put it, of opening a "welcoming" stance by educating people on a more global level.They state that understanding can only come from such.
He is ostracized and removed from his post. He will either have to rely on people who accept his views, or leave the nation to survive.


A person, who has just recently learned the defacto language, is suing another person claiming that the assault that followed an unintentional insult by differing customs was absolutely wrongful, and is even more assertive after a minor court denied said claim and ruled in favor of the person who committed assault.
Failure to act according to cultural values is looked down upon immensely. No court in the country would rule in his favour if the insult was serious enough.

All are ignored completely.

This situation would never arise. The nation is already united, and the Government would never allow signs like this to be put up.

English, along with Augarian, is universally spoken. If he doesn't speak English, he'd better learn Augarian: it's easy enough to pick up in a week or so.

Code: Select all
Mass floods of new immigrant groups, bringing their cultures with them, have recently caused culture clashes on the streets of your nation at a level absolutely never seen before. What is your nations solution or reaction?


Actually, Augarundus is currently experiencing a mass flow of foreigners into Augarundus. Since 2009, around 80,000,000 immigrants have traveled to Augarundus. Though they cannot achieve total citizenship (which means very little, save the right to run for office and vote), if they were added to the total citizenship count of 600,000,000, they'd make up nearly 12% of the nation's total population (12% of the population are not citizens... still, there are no border laws).

Those who immigrate to Augarundus, in some cases, are extremely wealthy individuals who wish to take advantage of the lack of any taxation and establish a high-risk business in the Imperium for a profit. However, the overwhelming majority are taken from the downtrodden masses of other, more collectivist societies who travel to Augarundus in hope of being able to take advantage of laissez-faire capitalism to build a life for themselves.

Being as they are poor and cannot typically afford to live in the wealthier areas of Augarundus (though their standard of living, considered 'poverty' in Augarundus, is upper middle class to most of the world; high-quality apartments, access to great technology, cheap transport, healthy diets, high-quality private educational facilities, high-quality cheap medical care, etc.), they are automatically segregated, to an extent. However, Augarians freely mix with their non-citizen counterparts for business and social life; there really are very few cultural clashes.

Well the government makes signs mainly just in Kotlian. And sometimes English as well for select areas. Kotlas has much cultural cosmopolitanism and uniqueness, but a lot of lingual unity. When modern Kotlian was first invented by linguists, people began to speak it because it was smart and efficient. Then, as it grew to a large number, people began to speak it not only for the previously listed reasons, but it was stupid not to learn it because almost everyone around you knew it. In this way, pretty much everyone in Kotlas ended up knowing Kotlian.

If the sign were made by a private company, however, we would do nothing. They do what they want.

No.

Another protesting group, which happens to include a maimed and bruised anarchist, demands that not only bilingualism, but a "cultural neutrality" policy be implemented in all government services, in particularly in schools.


We're unsure what this means. If they're asking us to teach them about other lands extensively, or at least as much as they teach about Urcea, no, that's absurd.

No. Not only is this unnecessary, but it's impractical. Urcea has enough people as is, and a wide majority of them belong to three culture groups; Urcean, Grestonian, or Braslandic.

Our government limits and restricts immigrant flow to a certain number which in turn, this wouldn't happen in our nation. If it did however, we'd take the cultures and place them in their own cities in our nation. (Our nation is arctic also, so I don't think we'd be seeing lots of immigrants)

School would most likely provide extra classes after school for him/her. If there are enough student who need to learn Nepali langauge at that given time, government/charities will fund for the classes and the students wont have to pay for it. However if not enough students are present, the person will have to pay for the class.

Mass floods of new immigrant groups, bringing their cultures with them, have recently caused culture clashes on the streets of your nation at a level absolutely never seen before. What is your nations solution or reaction?
If in capital: Metropolitan police would arrive in scene within a minute and reclaim streets. If Metropolitan police cant cope with it - Nepal army would be called in for backup who would reclaim the streets. Foreigners will then be sentenced to one of work camps for 5 years. When they get released, they will not be allowed inside capital and will have to resister with local police office every 1 month for ever. If they cause any trouble again, they will be sent to one of our work camps for at least 400 years (basically till death).

If anywhere else in Empire: Empire police will arrive within 3 minute of incident and will try to reclaim streets - if they fail Metro police will be called in who will in turn ask Nepal Army. With assistance from Nepal Army, Empire police will reclaim streets and warn everyone involved not to cause troubles again. Everyone involved will be fined NRS 100 and will be asked to resister with local police office every 6 month for 16 months. If they cause trouble again, they will be sent to work camp for 5 years and will be fined NRS 3000 and will have to resister with local police office every 5 month for ever. If foreigners cause trouble for 3rd time, they will be sent to our 3rd class colony where we dump our radioactive wastes.

If in 3rd class colony: We couldn't care less - afterall they will be dying soon anyway due to radioactive wastes all around.

A recently elected legislator has a dialect that is incredibly hard to decipher. This legislator just so happens to also be the newest replacement as a prominent member. What would the solution or reaction be?
N/A since we have better things to do than to waste precious taxpayers money on something stupid as legislator - cabinet does both job of legislature and executive. To be a member of cabinet one must know Nepali language - unless Dictator himself states otherwise.

A protesting group demands that national language recognition be overturned. What is your nation's reaction?
All protesters are dealt with by our police and there language wont ever be added in recognized language list.
If they demand national language recognition be overturned in proper place - by application/ meting/ phone :- There language will be added in recognized language list but national language wont be changed.

Another protesting group, which happens to include a maimed and bruised anarchist, demands that not only bilingualism, but a "cultural neutrality" policy be implemented in all government services, in particularly in schools.
As said above, All protesters will dealt with by our police.
Moreover We're unsure what this means. If they're asking to teach about other land as much Great Nepal - the answer will be no regardless of if they use proper challenge.

A person refuses to learn the defacto language, and is considered by some to voice his opposition in some language to "shocking and dissent-worthy" means.
We couldn't care less. However of course, he is at risk for ever since if he calls emergency services and he dont know Nepali or English (but obviously emergency services will give preference to person who knows Nepali) he will be in huge trouble. Perhaps after that he will learn proper langauge. Or perhaps when he starts to starve without job.

A very respected leader has recently begun to question "traditional values and culture", in favor, as they put it, of opening a "welcoming" stance by educating people on a more global level.They state that understanding can only come from such.
They can educate all they want. Cultures do change according to time. However both culture and "modern stance" will be taught neutrally as we want people to choose themselves.

A person, who has just recently learned the defacto language, is suing another person claiming that the assault that followed an unintentional insult by differing customs was absolutely wrongful, and is even more assertive after a minor court denied said claim and ruled in favor of the person who committed assault.
Assault isn't tolerated. Person who commits assault is sentenced to 3 years work camp, fine of NRS 10,000 like everyone else.

A major cultural group requests semi-sovereignty to better represent an individual culture. Following this, 21 other cultures request the same.
There request will be denied.

After signs with 21 lines of various alphabets and scripts appear over one section of the nation, yet another group is protesting that indeed a strict national cultural and custom policy must be taken to "unite the nation, and get rid of these damn signs!"
Um... Public signs are there Nepali and English if not in symbolic form. If they dont know both - well you better start to learn it.

The foreign student gets extra tutoring to learn the Yannian language.

Yannians hold a dim view of unnecessary violence, the clashers will most likely be sentenced to pay for the treatment of each other's injuries.

The legislator will have to speak Yannian in chambers, and be ignored if (s)he refuses.

As it is with every protesting group: have them collect enough signatures to hold a referendum.

Another protesting group, which happens to include a maimed and bruised anarchist, demands that not only bilingualism, but a "cultural neutrality" policy be implemented in all government services, in particularly in schools.
They too will have to collect enough signatures to hold a referendum. It'll have little chance though, given that services are already available in all local minority languages as well as the national language.

A person refuses to learn the de facto language, and is considered by some to voice his opposition in some language to "shocking and dissent-worthy" means.
He'll be ignored, until he either goes away, or speaks Yannian.

A very respected leader has recently begun to question "traditional values and culture", in favor, as they put it, of opening a "welcoming" stance by educating people on a more global level.They state that understanding can only come from such.
They are laughed at and told to keep up with the times. Yannian education ranks among the best in the World.

A person, who has just recently learned the de facto language, is suing another person claiming that the assault that followed an unintentional insult by differing customs was absolutely wrongful, and is even more assertive after a minor court denied said claim and ruled in favor of the person who committed assault.
The appeals court will likely overturn the earlier ruling.

A major cultural group requests semi-sovereignty to better represent an individual culture. Following this, 21 other cultures request the same.
States already are semi-autonomous, although that doesn't stop those silly Northwesterners to keep trying for independence, even after several referenda failed, and their language got recognition as a minority language.

After signs with 21 lines of various alphabets and scripts appear over one section of the nation, yet another group is protesting that indeed a strict national cultural and custom policy must be taken to "unite the nation, and get rid of these damn signs!"
Those signs can't be official, as the only languages on official signs with text are Yannian (national language), English (international language), and the local minority language(s), and will therefore soon disappear again. The group is told to try & collect enough signatures to hold a referendum.
Yannia's nation page contains an error. The population should be in millions, not in billions.
