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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Postby -the CHINESE nation- » Sat Nov 12, 2016 5:12 am

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)
