Human sacrifice in your country?

Postby Restored Carthage » Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:56 am

There is in Restored Carthage, as it is heir to the Punic customs from the official cults of Baal, Ashtaroth, and Eshmun.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.-C.S. Lewis

If you call execution a sacrifice to the government, then yes.

Human sacrifice is absolutely illegal in Greater Rhodes, and a concept absent from even the ancient pagan religions of the land.

In spite of government efforts, there are masses of sacrificial cults in Sanderica... Legally speaking sacrifice is completely outlawed but it happens on a ridiculously large scale :oops:

Human sacrifice is performed by the Dragoonian Government in Ruskarkand.
They are offered before the Monolith, where a quick slice to the throat kills them, before they are absorbed by the Monolith.

It's estimated there are 20 sacrifices per week.

While animal sacrifices are common in the holy chronicles and in modern practices so does only the goddess of death and the god of war demand human sacrifices and in the case of the god of war so is it the men killed on the field of battle that is his sacrifices. However despite that so is human sacrifice illegal in the federation.

There are cults active in Alesandrovsk, many of which approve of and participate in human sacrifices.

The Alesan government has condemned sacrifice for obvious reasons and outlawed it. It's difficult to police the cults, unfortunately, and thus it still occurs.

Approximately two years ago, following the Igovian Soviet Commonwealth's intervention against Fascism there, the entire population (between one and two million according to foreign pre-conflict estimates) of a nation was transported to the sub-continent in time for solstice celebrations, and burned alive at numerous ceremonies across the Commonwealth.

The slaughter of Fascist foreigners in itself may not be much of a sacrifice, but Beddgelens viewed the effort and risks undertaken in the whole operation as a labour of love in the cause of revolution and national resurgence.

Several solstice periods before and since this event have seen foreigners and so-called 'unmutual' or 'disharmonious' elements burned or beheaded, often by the Blackjackets militant wing of the radical Young Igovians student movement.

The Commonwealth has made no apparent effort to curb such behaviour, and numerous senior members of the League of Communists are known or suspected to have taken part in the firey ceremonies.

What sought of uncivilized country would carry out such a practice? Especially on it's own citizens. It's entirely illegal in Malgrave and the community of Malgrave is shocked that this practice takes place.

Lucky for all of us, Karakov is a lousy shot.

Human sacrifice has long been illegal in ML.
Please note that Mid Lothian is based on fantasy. Any references to anything/one/where that exists is completely coincidential.
Frequently used abbreviations: HoS = Head of State; HoG = Head of Government; ML = Mid Lothian; KSS - Kate Stephens-Smith.
Fancy an embassy in ML? Click me for details. (PS - I'll return the favour.)
I am usually rewriting stuff about Mid Lothian - just because it's true today isn't necessarily true tomorrow.
