[Legislative Christian Monarchy]

**Please bare in mind this is an application for an Observer status. Not to participate in any legislation or regulations set forth by this Senate.**

Name of nation: Legislative Christian Monarchy
Current level of civil rights: 63
Official stance on freedom of expression: Freedom of Expression in the LCM is not guarenteed through the Constitution. As with most "Rights" the freedom to express is situational and should be noted that the government by no means protects those who wish to test the boundaries by supporting or promoting anything that may be seen as an illegal act.
Official stance on the freedom to protest: Civilians in the LCM are not guarenteed the right to protest whenever or wherever they like. In order to organize and set forth a protest containing 3 or more persons must require a permit authorized by the Provinve Overseer or a higher government official.
Official stance on the death penalty: The death penalty is legal to use in the LCM and is supported by the government for a more heinous crime offender, though life imprisonment or more secretive methods are usually favored for those who have committed especially terrible crimes as seen fit by a judge, council member, or The Emperor.
Official stance on torture: Torture is by no means endorsed by the LCM, though beatings are a common "on the spot" punishment for convicts who have offended once again while held in captivity in a Monitored City. Area 15 officials have denied the use of torture or testing on any such subject's. In fact Area 15 and government officials have denied any such confinement of any prisoner within Area 15 facilities, though others may speculate otherwise.
Provision of fair trials in your nation: Fair trials are guarenteed by the Constitution unless directly decided upon by The Emperor only with The Councils recommendation.
Government type: Absolute Monarchy/ Father Knows Best
Reason for joining the ISHR: The LCM has expressed deep interest in joining the ISHR as an observer nation since the founding of the organization. The exact reasons as to why are unclear, though the Government would no doubt like an ear in the Senate and perhaps a speaker if need be.

Official stance on torture:
Torture, physical or mental, by any organisation or individual is strictly prohibited. Offenders face a life jail sentence.

A national referendum is used to authorize the death penalty on an individual basis which can only be carried out if-

3) A re-investigation has taken place by a different group of experts than originally investigated the case
4) The defendant is retried in front of the supreme court and is still found guilty and the supreme court still votes to recommend the death penalty
5) The head of state authorities the use of referendum
The referendum must have at least 40% of the population take part and have a pro-death vote of 75% or more. The defendant will have a choice between firing squad or hanging.
Due to the process and the liberal nature of Ironian citizens only war criminals and sickining mass murderers are ever given the death penalty.
