Culture Shock the Nation Above You (Again!)

[Sau Island]

We have no military

[MiniO2]

i got enforced nudity and 23.2% of my people die of capital punishment.... i kill almost one fourth of my own populace.

[Valkalan]

We have no military

Our military accounts for 52% of our government. The WA reports 41%, but in fact many of our educational and research-related expense are in fact military in nature. Many educational, industrial, health law and order expenses are in fact related to our military and intelligence assets.

The Brillnish government spends most of its budget on education, law & order and the environment.

[Senyosu]

There is little law enforcement and very few police officers. Most of it is covered with mass surveillence of public areas like malls, streets, highways, and MRT stations. Other places have their own security measures in place as well. All this done by CCTV alone.

[Terran Sovereignty]

it is the law to kill immigrants... that is definitely why there are people in my country

[Rothuria]

We embrace legal immigration.

[New Kvenland]

We embrace legal immigration.

Our flag has at least a little aesthetic appeal.

[Senyosu]

Senyosu is a maid hiring country.

Seriously.

[Numoland]

Students call teachers by their first names.

[The Nexus of Man]

Teachers are are, almost all of the time, war veterans.

They also approve of having guns in school.

[Rothuria]

We have advanced (high) school classes dedicated to teaching the how to use a firearm.

[Senyosu]

Due to universal conscription, nearly all citizens of Senyosu have some experience on how to handle a gun and the proper laws.

Concealed carry is legal in Senyosu, by the way.

[The North American Remnants]

Militas are common and encouraged, as is the carrying of weapons.

[Rothuria]

A common game played during the Rothic New Year (celebrated at the Autumnal Equinox) involves the placing of one caramel-covered onion on a plate with caramel apples. The kid that selects and bites into the candied onion wins.

The game follows odd logic...

[Auzkhia]

Auzkhians often publicly display affection.

[Senyosu]

Southern Senyosu is called confused Senyosu by northerners and mainlanders. This is for the fact that Southern Senyonese cuisine is Thai and Malay influenced, as well as heavily influence by the Portuguese. This is further supported by the fact that Southern Senyonese architecture is a mish-mash of Thai, Vietnamese, Malay, and Portuguese architecture.

This is probably due to the history of the southern regions. They were for the most part a free economic trading zone with other powers when the rest of Senyosu was strictly isolationist.

[New Kvenland]

Auzkhians often publicly display affection.

PDA is allowed, but frowned upon and considered "uncouth" by Kven culture.

[Numoland]

We have heating.

[Phisych University]

Carrying a weapon is usually associated with either being part of the Enforcer Corps. or being a criminal. No exceptions.

Not that it stops otherwise law-abiding citizens from purchasing smuggled firearms and the like for self defence.

You could buy a security bot, but they're ultimately under the control of the Phisychian government and can be turned against their owner if they oppose the state. Again, Phisychians can go into the black market to get the transmitters to the government removed, but that does carry the associated risks of getting arrested by the Enforcers if you're found out.

Basically, gun culture does not exist beyond being part of some counter-culture groups in Phisych University.

[Nueva Uruguay]

Most of our police are unarmed.

[Rothuria]

Most of our CITIZENS ARE armed.

[Downed Pilots]

Social Welfare is the largest portion of government spending, and the economy is over 3/4 public sector. No cracks to fall through.

[Senyosu]

Social welfare is not a priority. Education, maintaining a healthy ecology and environment, and stimulating research and development as well as competition are the three main priorities of the government. Needless to say, we have high levels of income equality and some oif the best standards of living in the world.

Since when have below average levels of income equality become high?
