Culture Shock the Above Nation(Mk 4)

[Troperia]

We have punitive income taxes.

[Orellana]

We recognize that people making money is a good thing for the country, and so we do not seek to punish them for doing it.

[Gigaverse]

Contrary to popular belief, we live in a time where taxes are not even necessary.

[Sahsahlah]

private-owned industries do not exist in Sahsahlah

[Empire of Narnia]

CEC Industries is privately owned and is more powerful than the Umbrella Corporation.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

The PUS is very pro-science and anti-religion.

[Devernia]

While preaching Luddite views is legal, the extensive social taboo of it makes the Luddites themselves afraid.

The Melhorian Sea Union is basically the European Union in Devernite canon.

[The United Republic of the Helghan Race]

The PUS is very pro-science and anti-religion.

We believe in the forced spread of our culture and eradication of all inferior life forms. We tend to encourage the act of theft and destruction of other nations by our citizens. All advanced tech is purposed for military use.

Ninja'd
We are highly devout to our gods and everything we do is for them.

[Orellana]

One of Orellana's greatest universities, Brasilia University, which has world-class academic credentials, is partly staffed by clergymen.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

We helped the Axis win WW2.

[Devernia]

Preaching hate speech related to religion is illegal.

[The Gamindustrian Union]

Hate speech is legal here, but on the bright side, it is heavily discouraged, as people are raised to avoid hate speech.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

There are no foreign embassies in the PUS.

[Orellana]

Literally no books of any kind are banned in this country. We value freedom of the presses too much.

[Ultimaxia]

We love crime so much, we kill our own police.

[Voleka]

We love crime so much, we kill our own police.

In Voleka, being seized by the authorities is more akin to an Old Testament angel manifesting before you, except with more hardlight and binary. The wheel of fire and eyes is an AI.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

Literally no books of any kind are banned in this country. We value freedom of the presses too much.

Terrorist manuals? Child pornography?

[Autem Galacticus Nexum]

Local Nexumian authorities are seen as being much more forgiving than those originating from sectorial-level law enforcement agencies, or Inquisitors from the Administrative Religious Authority of the Nexum; they often given death sentences or outright kill suspects due to being bothered to even investigate the crime in the first place.

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

Publicly supporting any religion is illegal.

[Devernia]

Most religious people within our nation are liberal, including Christians.

[Auzkhia]

We have various Gods that physically exist, but Jehovah is some lesser god of the Levant.

[Orellana]

We are a massively Christian country, but accepting of many other faiths.

Terrorist manuals? Child pornography?

/skip

Don't like child porn? Don't look at it. Naturally, anybody who abuses a child is prosecuted. As to terrorist manuals? Our law enforcement read them too, so they're no great advantage there, and literature of that kind is kept highly available to the common public as well, just in case.

[Troperia]

We are a socialist's paradise.

[-the CHINESE nation-]

In the 1960s, tensions with the USSR and India as well as unfriendliness with the rest of the free world after our separatism-suppressing debacle led to a massive 'Third Front' construction and development programme in which inland provinces were massively developed as potential bases for industry and government in the event war breaks out. These include extensive tunnel networks, massive underground factories, airfields carved into the mountains of Sichuan and various other military-industry feats. Eventually, after association with the Synkom and detente in the 1970s, the grand work of these projects proved to be all for nothing, though Nanjing still has backup plans of moving there in case things go south.

(as usual this was another thing IRL)

[Provincias Unidas Sudamericanas]

We never had any school uniforms.
