WA Political Freedoms Category: Powerhouse
WA Economic Category: Rare
Alliances and International Organizations: none (used to be a member of the Imperial Commonwealth of Crowns)
Current Conflicts: none

The second and third marriage after divorce require confession and penance, however.

Embassy Domestic Staff: 4 maids/valets
Embassy Vehicles: 4 Audis and a Learjet
Please List any Special Concerns or Needs: is there diplomatic immunity? In any case, we need a full list of your laws to avoid breaking them.

Q&A on Social and Moral Issues
(Please feel free to ask questions so that we can inform you about New Edom's official and general social views on these matters)

Sexual Equality: there is a strong patriarchal tradition, but moves toward greater sexual equality are in progress
Racial Equality: race among humans is not an issue for us, non-humans are a bit of an adjustment....though the new regime is seeking to modernize the country's attitude and discourage racism.
Communism: subversive to the State....it has a very bad reputation
Capitalism: mostly good, but in need of checks and balances...everything in moderation
Fascism: subversive to the State....it has a very bad reputation
Socialism: good in small doses....moderation again
Private Property: useful, necessary to a free society, but not absolute....does encourage more pride in its care than public
Public Property: useful when necessary for the public welfare
Alcohol Consumption: wine is everywhere, followed by beer (mostly made in Egypt)
Recreational Drug Consumption: marijuana is good, but heroin, meth, coke, etc. are bad.
Cloning: dangerous
Obesity: unhealthy and shows lack of discipline
Corporal Punishment: often necessary
Public Censorship of Political Views: tyrannical
Public Censorship of Nudity and Sexually Oriented Entertainment: wasteful of taxpayer funds and often counterproductive; associated with tyranny and priggishness, yet even now, some families unofficially censor the viewing habits of their girls in particular out of fear of "moral corruption"
Public Nudity: it's everywhere here, though mostly in the baths...yet most folks still wear clothes most of the time.
Carrying Concealed Weapons: with a proper permit, there is no wrong in this protection
Hunting: traditional sport of Caesars and kings
Homosexuality: officially a sin, but winked at, especially in Hellenic society... this is the conflict between Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman values.
Use of Mines in Warfare: used only in the right circumstances, with right precautions
Nuclear Arms: we possess sixteen ICBMs with megaton thermonuclear warheads
Ecology: conservation is a recent public campaign by the Caesars, to preserve natural resources
Laboratory Testing on Animals: only under very close monitoring, and then, the State is skeptical of the comparison of men to rodents in terms of physiology.

We thank you and hope to work toward a closer relationship between our nations. We presume, of course, that the embassy is considered Roman soil under Roman law and that the ambassador and key aides have diplomatic immunity. Such immunity will, however, be waived as a matter of policy whenever charges of violent offense shall be made by New Edomite authorities.

Thank you again,

Imperator Caesar Flavius Sabinus Decentius Augustus

by **Roma Occidentalis** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 10:04 pm

(We are the Western half of the old Roman Empire, separated from the East permanently under the Treaty of Naissus/Nis.)

Name of Country: the Imperium Invictus of Roma Occidentalis
Head of State: Imperator Caesar Honorius Augustus
Head of Government (if applicable): see above
Ambassador's Name: Marcus Valerius Italicus
Ambassador's Family: wife, Lucilla, and concubine, Victorina
Ambassador Bio: Italicus is the illegitimate half-brother of the Emperor himself

Nation Facts
WA Political Description:
The Imperium Invictus of Roma Occidentalis is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Imperator Caesar Honorius Augustus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.412 billion are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.
WA Civil Rights Category: Superb
WA Political Freedoms Category: Few
WA Economic Category: All-Consuming
Alliances and International Organizations: none
Current Conflicts: none
Religion: Paganism (Greco-Roman)

Embassy Details
Embassy Staff: 4
Embassy Security (Please limit weapons to small arms, vehicles to urban civilian type, air to one non-military plane or helicopter): 4 men with bolt-action rifles, on loan from the household troops
Embassy Domestic Staff: 4
Embassy Vehicles: 4 Audis
Please List any Special Concerns or Needs: we, like our Eastern compatriots, need legal knowledge and some immunity, as well as sovereignty over the embassy.

Q&A on Social and Moral Issues
(Please feel free to ask questions so that we can inform you about New Edom's official and general social views on these matters)

Sexual Equality: this is still a novel idea, but we're working on it....women can vote now, but only if sui iuris...in their own hand. All voters have to be "in his or her own hand", otherwise the paterfamilias might control a number of votes. Same with holding public office.
Racial Equality: officially, all are Romans....unofficially, there is some vestigial racism, which is overcome by our meritocratic and pragmatic tendencies
Communism: we don't hate the rich....we wish to join them...there's no reason to be ruled by blind hate and envy....it's just not practical
Capitalism: it exists in many ways and is the mainstay of the economy, but it has limits
Fascism: hey, we're too wedded to rights like privacy to like this much
Socialism: there's a small amount of it, but it's not the basis of our economy
Private Property: everything else is private
Public Property: many things are public
Alcohol Consumption: despite attempts to curb it, we drink like fish...wine, that is. Beer and distilled booze is more for the barbarians, wine for the Romans. We're pretty good at not getting drunk, though, and we know when to water our wine.
Recreational Drug Consumption: everything is legal, but junkies are pariahs and no hard drugs are allowed to enter the country. Only domestic hard drugs are available. Pot is considered fine, as long as it is not abused. Roman history is replete with warnings of the affects of mind-altering substances, so most Romans are wary of them.
Cloning: we have the legions....what do we need clones for? It's junk science and even if it worked, the dangers to the State would have it quashed swiftly. No one wants a clone army roaming the Empire, challenging the Augustus.
Obesity: a sign of weakness, gluttony, and laziness....very much in disfavor, but still legal
Corporal Punishment: rods are used not only by parents, but by lictors as well as a form of public chastisement.
Public Censorship of Political Views: tyranny by definition
Public Censorship of Nudity and Sexually Oriented Entertainment: there has always been porn and erotica in Rome. We try not to make a big fuss and we only censor where kids are concerned.
Public Nudity: quite normal, especially in the baths, but most occasions still involve the wearing of clothes. We're pragmatists, remember?
Carrying Concealed Weapons: everyone here is armed....we have some necessary rules, like background checks, but we don't ban guns
Hunting: our ancestors were Romans, Gauls, Iberians, Berbers, etc. Hunting is a necessary part of our culture.
Homosexuality: Unlike the Greeks of the East, Romans have long held some suspicion of homosexuality. However, we also pragmatically accept the reality of the practice and more recent centuries have mellowed out the homphobic attitudes.
Use of Mines in Warfare: we're a practical people, so if mines work, we use 'em.
Nuclear Arms: same as with mines. We have some XXV ICBMs, each with a single ton warhead...the targets remain a state secret.
Ecology: we're very common-sense about this. We practice conservation, but we don't want to wreck the economy.
Laboratory Testing on Animals: moderate testing, but with skepticism

by **Judea Libera** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 10:52 pm

(This is the predominantly Karaite Jewish state created by the Treaty of Naissus/Nis last year, the other fragment of the old Empire.)

Name of Country: the Karaite State of Judea Libera
Head of State: High Priest Aaron Bar-Joash
Head of Government (if applicable): High Priest in tandem with Sanhedrin and various agencies run by Levites. Most notable of these is the Torah Compliance Agency.
Ambassador's Name: Shimon Bar-Jacob
Ambassador's Family: wife, Judith
Ambassador Bio: Bar-Jacob is a Levite and a lifetime member of the Sanhedrin from even before it was granted sovereignty over Judea Libera under the Treaty of Nis. He previously served as Temple Ombudsman (charged with handling the complaints and injustices registered by the Faithful).

Nation Facts
WA Political Description:
The Karaite State of Judea Libera is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by the Sanhedrin with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.579 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
WA Civil Rights Category: Below Average
WA Political Freedoms Category: Rare (which is the only thing "rare" here....undercooked meat isn't kosher)
WA Economic Category: Thriving
Alliances and International Organizations: none
Current Conflicts: none
Religion: Judaism

Embassy Details
Embassy Staff: 3 clerks/aides
Embassy Security (Please limit weapons to small arms, vehicles to urban civilian type, air to one non-military plane or helicopter): 4 men with Uzis
Embassy Domestic Staff: 7 staffers
Embassy Vehicles: 4 Audis
Please List any Special Concerns or Needs: We need to be immune to prosecution under the Compulsory Nudity Act. The Morality Act presents no trouble for us, of course. We're even stricter than that. Also, any locals hired must observe Sabbath when we do. The Embassy will be shut down completely on the Sabbath.

Q&A on Social and Moral Issues
(Please feel free to ask questions so that we can inform you about New Edom's official and general social views on these matters)

Sexual Equality: Well, women are to call their husbands "lord", but they can inherit property in some cases. There have been cases of women leading us (Deborah, for example). It is all within the limits of the Torah.
Racial Equality: we are the Chosen People of the Covenant, other Abrahamic folk are almost as good...all else are equal.
Communism: only as permitted by the Torah...its Godlessness is blasphemous folly
Capitalism: only as permitted by the Torah (usury among fellow Jews is banned, for instance)
Fascism: only as far as the Torah permits.
Socialism: only as much as is in the Torah
Private Property: private property, especially family property, is not even supposed to leave the family name for more than six years. Slavery is legal in a technical sense, but would have take to the form of war captives. All other forms of enslavement are banned, except when chosen by an indentured servant (bonded servants only serve for six years and then are free to go).
Public Property: the Temple and many other things sacred and holy are public in that sense.
Alcohol Consumption: wine is part of our culture, beer not so much...neither are permitted during Pesach (Passover) or for Nazirites.
Recreational Drug Consumption: not banned by the Torah, so legal
Cloning: against the prevailing interpretation of the Torah, as accepted by the Sanhedrin
Obesity: best avoided by following the prescriptions of the Torah
Corporal Punishment: it is mandated in many cases by the Torah
Public Censorship of Political Views: we allow dissenting views, but not blasphemy
Public Censorship of Nudity and Sexually Oriented Entertainment: again, forbidden under the Torah, so heavily censored
Public Nudity: forbidden under the Torah....we're not to see the "nakedness" of certain people by relationship
Carrying Concealed Weapons:
Hunting: hunting is permitted (we don't follow rabbinical traditions against hunting), but game is restricted to clean animals and must be cooked according to the dietary provisions of the Torah
Homosexuality: The Torah mandates death for this offense.
Use of Mines in Warfare: only as necessary when threatened by invaders...to be removed later (unless it's on the Sabbath)
Nuclear Arms: we can't afford it and if it comes down to something that extreme, the Holy One of Israel will fight for us and deliver us. He is mightier than any nuke.
Ecology: we should be good stewards of the world He put in our care
Laboratory Testing on Animals: needless cruelty and based upon the lies of evolution

Q&A on Social and Moral Issues
(Please feel free to ask questions so that we can inform you about New Edom's official and general social views on these matters)

Sexual Equality:Women are expected to be more focused on raising the children well, although prior to them bearing children it is acceptable for them to have jobs, and some still do after childbirth, such as nurses in the Armed Forces
Racial Equality:Not much of an issue, the three ethnic groups of our Empire get pretty well.
Communism:Rubbish idea, always turns out horribly
Capitalism:Great idea, private enterprise is the key to economic might
Fascism: Terrible idea, and just like communism it always fails too
Socialism:Not so good, it's better for people to be self-reliant and work hard than leech off the government teat.
Private Property:A firmly respected right, every Constannian should have the right to his cottage in the countryside
Public Property: Useful and necessary. cities would be miserable without parks and we always need hospitals and schools.
Alcohol Consumption:Outlawed, although it was virtually non-existent before foreign trade began bringing alcohol in from other countries, leading to a rise in alcoholism, and Parliament slammed its foot down, banning possession, distribution and consumption of alcohol, except for use in hospitals for dressing wounds. People are fine with the ban, as barley waters and carbonated beverages are very popular.
Recreational Drug Consumption:Outlawed, Constannians believe since man is made in God's image it is a sin to pollute the human body with substances like tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine, and any other sort of harmful drug.
Cloning:We do not try to play God, that is a dangerous path to go down.
Obesity:Seen as a bad thing, as we believe this is also defacing the human body, which is made in the image of God. Not to mention obese people are unfit for military service, making them a weak link in our society should we ever fall under attack.
Corporal Punishment:Permissible in some cases when a child truly needs to be disciplined, but we do our best to show restraint.
Public Censorship of Political Views:Rarely used, although communists, fascists and anarchists are almost guaranteed to be arrested for disturbing the peace.
Public Censorship of Nudity and Sexually Oriented Entertainment:Seen as sins, since we are a very Victorian-era like society and very moral, this is essentially non-existent, not to mention since it rains so much it's impractical to go strutting about naked here in Constannia.
Public Nudity:Not practiced, if someone does try it they will be arrested for distubring the peace, since people
Carrying Concealed Weapons:Allowed, although people have to pass tests to make sure they're mentally stable, and have no major crimes, like robbery, arson, murder, etc.
Hunting:Allowed, although there are limits to what hunters can shoot, and animals are protected if their numbers begin to dangerously decline.
Homosexuality:Socially unacceptable, not recognized by law, pretty much nonexistent here
Use of Mines in Warfare: Certainly used to fortify defensive positions and ambush enemy convoys
Nuclear Arms:While we have nuclear weaponry, we came to the conclusion long ago that we would never be forced to use them.
Ecology:Lots of rain, many lush forests and well-preserved countryside, it gets cold in the winter with plenty of snow, spring and autumn have lots of rain, but the summers are gorgeous with temperatures of around 85 degrees Fahrenheit usually with gentle breezes. (A bit ironic we have such a beautiful environment given how steampunk we are, but the Steampunkness and industrialization is mostly limited to the cities)
Laboratory Testing on Animals: Only in necessary cases, and we do our best to treat the animals humanely.
