If we ever spot a Gypsy or a Pikey camp, we immediately burn it down, before shipping all the gypsies to the nearest factory or mansion to become a servant (unpaid of course).

We force the Gypsies to settle down Government housing, and work in either a collective farm or a government factory.

We have always answered that issue by letting the gypsies camp wherever they wish. Our national profile will tell you that gypsy camps often block our highways (though the WA has an exaggerated idea of the width of our highways).

Execution.

Our Rromane have campgrounds all over the empire set aside for them.

My Empire would let the women and the girls stay and make the males leave the country or face 150 years in prison.

We let them stay on Govermental Plots where they pay a price of $4 per wagon per 3 nights.
If they do not pay, they are sentenced to 20 years prison.

Don't sugar-coat it. 'Execution' of an entire ethnic group is called genocide.

There is no profit in it, therefore no such things exist in the nation of Meekinos. There is no way to know how we would 'treat' such individuals. Of course, should they exist, the laws that apply to Meekinosians would apply to them, which would mean their children would be subject to the same education as the rest of the population, and the education would indoctrinate the philosophies espoused in the MCM. A single generation would turn to the pursuit of happiness through profit as dictated by the Prophets of Profit. They would not be forced to do anything but Meekinosian society is heavily capitalist and those who shun the ways of the Ancient Gods or the prophets are often poor and fall beneath the radar of society. Those who follow the path are never poor even if their income is less, for they are still rich so long as they have profit, no matter how little. Profit is happiness.

We do not have a Gypsy population...

*Ahem*

We don't have any.

Simply, we give them two choices, work at sweat shop levels or be systemaicly gathered up and shot in the back of the head.

After centuries of persecution at the hands of prejudiced gadjes, Romanies from all over the world have found a safe haven in Gynocracy.

As Her Magnificence Queen Saint Linda the Magnificent is Herself of Romani blood, she has always welcomed them and they now make up 43% of the population.

Romanes (the gypsy language - though of course there are many different dialects of it) is a compulsory subject in school just as English is.

They are allowed to be kennicks (house-dwellers), to live on specially designated sites, or simply to jaul the drom (travel the road) in the traditional way.

Even the flag of Gynocracy is also the Romani flag.

Opre Roma! (Roma arise!)

Plastra leste! (Rouse yourselves!)

The Roma in our nation are very pleased if you take the trouble to learn words like 'mishto' (please) and 'nais tukes' (thank you.)

Mishto hom me dikava tute - I am pleased to see you.

I believe my nation allows them to use public land, but if found on appropriately marked private property, they are jailed and their property (Wagons and such, not clothing, food, etc.) is taken and sold.

They are treated as per British law on Gypsy/travellers.

For all 'humans' who trespass within our borders, we have just one policy.

In other words, they're STILL the only ethnic minority it's LEGAL to discriminate against, legal to harass, abuse, beat up and generally treat as lowlife scum.

Yeah, come to Gynocracy, miri pheni, miri prala!

Amaro atchin-tan varekai latsho!

Not quite that way. The law is on the books, but they are treated with common courtesy.

Crookfur has never really had any notable Romanie population although there is a long established tradition of travaling trade families although with the opening up of education, communication and transportation sicne the indsutrial revolution thier role has alrgely faded. Those traveling families that still exist tend to be active in the entertainment industry either as entertainers themselves or as road crews for others. One of the msot cost effective means for an artist or group to tour Crookfur is to join one of the crews on the traditional Bard Trail, the families and crews are following it anyway and will happily rent transport. The larger families/crew do tend to own thier own logiistical compounds which are legally treated in the same way as and often found next to logistics centres for more conventional large companies.

Outside of motorways it is legal to stop and indeed pitch camp at the side of Crookfur roads for upto 4 days as long as you do not cause obstruction or inconveicne to anyone else and don't break any enviromental protection rules.

If you're badass enough to travel around Lonun in a caravan, we won't mess with you.
The gypsy's are allowed to go pretty much anywhere (apart from near military bases of course) and are sometimes paid by the government to act as extra eyes and ears. If their information proves to be false, we take their eyes and ears. Fair trade.

All Rromane are welcome in the Empire as well.

Good for you! At least you treat us like human beings!

(I'm sick of the number of times I've been racially abused over the years - especially by people from the Indian subcontinent where my ancestral tribes (the Banjalas) stlll live!

(Sorry, I'm getting out of character! I care passionately about my people and their treatment.)

In the Iglesian Archipelago, Gypsies are treated equally as everyone.

You're a latsho mushi (good man!)

The national police usually arrests them because they usually try to burn our flag, they usually protest about ligelizing durgs and they usually live in the outskrits of Bukhziristan.
