Does your nation have a Census? How often is it taken? Is it an appointed committee, or a permanent bureaucracy? Does anyone head it (if that's notable)? Who appoints the Census Director, or is he/she elected? Where does the authorization for your census lie? Is it constitutional, by royal decree, by law, by military, by force, by threat, or is it voluntary, etc.? Is there a fine for not taking the census? How many people work in the Census? Are there personal enumerators, and do they carry tracking devices (such as GPS)?
Remember, your national page tells your population, so there must be some way of getting that number. Everyone has some sort of "census".
Also, please list what's on the actual formm, AKA the census questions.
Use the below form for describing your census, and please be specific:
- Code: Select all
