How does the Reich view your nation?

Postby Volmachtia » Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:12 pm

OOC: Might as well do one myself, since everyone else is doing it :p

The Military Reich of Volmachtia is to conduct an international survey to determine the political and social standings of its various neighbors for the purpose of increasing international understanding and perhaps opening lanes for alliances with similar-feeling countries. We will in no way consider invading you if you declare yourself to be a resource-rich left-wing pacifist utopia. (We probably will.)

While in some ways we share ideologies, there are key differences that lead to a negative perception of the United World Order, namely the use of fascist ideology and the establishment of a dictatorship. Volmachtia is an absolute monarchy, but despite that, it remains cultured and not very restrictive politically. There are, however, many within our nation that strongly approve of your harsh treatment of homosexuality and your strict adherence to Catholicism, due to the fact that Volmachtia itself is Catholic by the greater margin. Despite this, openly opposing our beloved Capitalist economic system has most preferring a policy of "Live and let Live."

Postby Threlizdun » Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:46 pm

General Information

Nation Title: The Democratic Syndicates of Threlizdun
Form of Government: Social Anarchy
National Leader(s): None
Political Orientation: Libertarian
Economic Orientation: Left

Politics and Governance:
What are is your nation's predominant view on the following; be as detailed as you please but a simple agree/disagree is adequate. (If you would, please answer directly after or below the bold brackets in normal font)

Section 1. Political Philosophy:

Democracy: Something that must be incorporated into any political system, whether direct or representative
    Representative Democracy: Supportive, though not preffered
    Direct Democracy: Strongly Supportive
Monarchy: An odd tradition to us that we do not understand, though we accept it in some cases
    Absolute: Nothing more than a dictatorship, and thus we are strongly opposed to it
    Constitutional: Acceptable as long as it is free and democratic
Oligarchy: Against; such power should not be in the hands of so few
Republicanism: Democratic republics are fine, though a republic as defined by Plato, where the state holds great power, is not supported
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: A horrendous practice that should never be practiced under any circumstance
Fascism: The most evil ideology in existence
Anarchism: Strongly supportive of most forms of anarchism
    Anarcho-Capitalism: Supportive, as long as the rights of the workers are protected
    Anarcho-Mutualism: Supportive, though not used here
    Anarcho-Communism: Strongly supportive, though we believe participatory economics and syndicalism are needed to make it work
Socialist Vanguard State: A disgusting practice that only brings harm to the people
Theocracy: Opposed; religion has no place in legal matters
Secularism: Supportive on the grounds of the seperation of church and the legal and political system, though not to the extent of enforcing ahteism like some societies
Authoritarianism: Strongly opposed
Libertarianism: Strongly supportive
Conservatism: We oppose the enforcement of traditions for tradions' sake, though some traditions, such as a respect for freedom, should be protected
Progressivism: Times change, and we believe that anything that does not harm others should be accepted, so we see no reason not to adapt.
Militarism: Against
Pacifism: While we do have a military, it is tiny and purely defensive. We do not believe in invasions, finding diplomacy the prefarable alternative, though we will fight if we have no other alternative.
Nationalism: No nation is truly better than another, though our citizens do feel proud of their nation
Internationalism: Supportive
Individualism The individual and the collective are not always opposed philosophies. We have come to find that you can allw great personal freedom and the ability to choose your own destiny, while having your actions create positive effects on those around you. We have both great respect for the individual and the community, but although our economic system is more collectivist in nature, we generally support individualism more.
Collectivism: See above


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:


Capitalism: Fine, as long as it has elements to prevent abuse of workers or the planet
Communism: Supportive in the sense of a true communist society that lacks a state and is run entirely by the workers, though opposed to the state-run system calling itself such.
Socialism: We are generally oppossed to planned or state-run economies, though we are fine with some forms of market socialism.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Generally we feel that these economies fail all systems aside from anarcho-capitalism, where we believe the increased pressure on corporations due to the lack of the state to blame for problems would lead to them realizing they need to care for their workers to prevent a riot.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Generally acceptable
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: On a national level we believe it is doomed to fail in the long run, though at the community level we can understand it. We can see it working during times or emergency, and understand why it would be implemented then (think the US during the Great Depression and World War II), though generally we are opposed.
Gift Economics: We believe it needs other factors to work, though support the system and use it ourselves.
Traditional/Primitive Economics: It depends on the system, though it is typically too outdated to be used in first world countries.
Agrarianism: We have rural areas, though we have cities as well
Corporatism: It is a heavily state-influenced economy that often is highly focused on nationalism, militarism, and fascism, so it is opposed.
Welfarism: Supportive
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Strongly supportive; protecting the workers is actually far more important to us than economic equality is
Globalization: We are generally opposed to economic globablization due to its impact on the environment and exploitation of third world citizens, though we do believe nations should try to work together.
Free Trade: We believe some measures should be placed on trade, though not horribly extensive.
Fair Trade: See above
Protectionism: See above
Feudalism: Against. It was necessary to help humanity survive in the middle ages, but it is an oppressive and highly outdated system now.
Environmentalism: Supportive
Consumerism: Opposed
Racism: Strongly against
Multiculturalism: Threlizdun is a greatly diverse society with a high amount of cultural, religious, and ethnice diversity, so everyone is rather used to other cultures now.


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms
What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues? (Note: Elaboration on the social attitudes toward any these issues them can be found in the second questionnaire)

Private Property As long as you work to your maximum potential (Threlizdun is PMT, so technological advancements have reduced the need for lengthy labour periods), then you may have what you wish, and as such, it is protected by law.
Freedom of Speech: You are free to say whatever you please as long as it does not become repeated verbal abuse of another
Freedom of Association: Any nonviolent association (except in the case of sports or other consensual cases) may meet freely.
Gun Ownership: We have fairly loose laws on gun ownership. Criminals and mentally unfit individuals may not posess them and no one may posess high explosives, though that is about it.
Abortion: Legal and provided by universal healthcare
Gay Marriage: Any number of consenting adults of any gender or relation may marry
Alcohol: Legal at age 18
Tobacco: Legal at age 18, though rather uncommon
Drugs: All are legal at age 18, though social programs try to educate citizens about them, prevent its use, and rehabilitate those that need it
    Cannabis: Legal at age 18
    "Soft Drugs": Legal at age 18
    "Hard Drugs":
Legal at age 18, though extremely rare
Censorship: As long as it is not directed abuse towards a single individual, you may say, do, or publish what you please
Prostitution: Impossible due to our economic model
Slavery: Outlawed
Age Of Consent: 14
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: Full religious freedom
Section 1: Arts & Society
What is your nations prominent views regarding the following: (Answer to your best ability. If you don't feel like writing much, feel free to simply write; popular/unpopular but anything you'd like to add, even pictures or musical links provided they are spoilered is welcome.)

How Does Your Nation View and Treat?

Artists: Creating art of some form or another is more or less considered a duty by most Threlizdunians. Art is highly prized in our society, and it is rare to find a Threlizdunian that does not practice some form of it.
Actors: Another respectable art
Musicians: Another respectable art
Clowns: Another respectable art
Writers: Another respectable art
Intellectuals: This term is rather meaningless to us. If by intellectuals, you mean intelligent individuals, then of course we respect them. If you mean arrogant individuals, then no.
Scientists: Science is highly respected, well staffed, and well-provided here.
Entrepreneurs: We have quite a lot of small businesses
Industrialists: They are viewed as exploiting the workers and the planet
Missionaries & Priests: Most religions in Threlizdun are highly liberal versions of their traditional faith that accept scientific explanations and are supportive of civil rights, so we view them as fine. Ones that are bigoted or dogmatic however would not recieve a very positive welcome.
Foreigners: We have long been known for a haven for refugees and other such individuals that need a new home. Threlizdun has always been this way for thousands of years. We actually don't even really have a majority ethnic group, with native Threlizdunians typically being mixed race, so foreigners and other ethnicities is just a day in the life in Threlizdun.

What Is Popular In Your Nation?
(Note: By "Popular", We are asking what is the most popular form/genre/style in your nation. Not what is popular in the real world)

Popular Music: Almost any genre of music can be found, though indie, folk, alternative, punk, amd rock are most popular.
Orchestral Music: Has a healthy following
Jazz & Swing Music: Fairly popular
Popular Dance: Dancing is something more for the individual to have a style, rather than a cultural concept on how to move.
Ballet: Has a healthy following
Theatre: Quite popular
Opera We have some
Popular Sports: Football (European), rugby, cycling, running, hiking, mountain climbing, volleyball, tennis, archery, baseball, and badmitten are the most popular.
Gladiatorial Combat: Outlawed
Popular Art: Art is art. Most things can be considered beautiful here.
Modern Art: See above.
Traditional Art: See above.
Popular Fashion: You can find a Threlizdunian in any style, and we mean any style.
Popular Food: Due to high ethnic and cultural diversity, you can find many forms of cuisine here.

Section 2: Ethics

How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: Nudity has never been taboo here, so it's perfectly legal and seen as fine, though it is generally too cold to do anywhere but at beaches.
Public Displays of Affection: Recently these acts have become far less taboo, to the extent were people will not freak out or feel disgusted seeing people have sex in public.
Gambling: Impossible to do with currency due to our economy, though gambling favors still exists and is viewed as harmless fun unless it becomes out of control.
Alcohol: It's fine to drink, though to excess is certainly bad
Drug Use: Generally negative, though we respect their choice
Partying: It has been stated by some that our economy runs purely due to the people's understanding that this allows common, random parties to occur all the time. Quite a few Threlizdunian cities are essentially nothing but clubs, bars, theatres, and other such areas. Threlizdunians absolutely love to party.
Gun Ownership: Mostly for hunting or target practice, as basically no crime exists here. Few people even have locks on their doors, though ownership of guns is viewed as fine.
Homosexuality: Completely acceptable, as is any other orientation
Transsexualism: Completely accepted and if they desire, sex reasignment procedures may be provided by universal healthcare
Pre-Marital Sex: Accepted by the vast majority
Family: Any number of adults of any gender or relation with or without children counts as a family
Marriage: Any number of consenting adults of any gender or relation may marry
Prostitution: Impossible due to our economy
Charity: Our economy basically runs on it, so you can expect our society to value it
Competition: We certainly enjoy come healthy competition, though we don't like it once it harms others.
Cooperation: Great
Privacy: Everyone has the right to privacy
Intolerance: Intolerance of others of things such as race, nationality, religion, gender, or other such things is foolish and crule, though intolerance of violence, opression, or abuse are another story.
Feminism: Quite supportive
Racism: Strongly opposed
Honour: Be a good person, and you are an honourable individual
Chivalry: Help others, though we aren't certain about putting a creed like that on it
Social Darwinism: Horrible
Religion: Perfectly acceptable
Spirituality: Generally Threlizdunian people are quite spiritual
Altruism: Wonderful
Selfishness: Unfortanate
Friendship: Great
Magic: Almost everyone believes this is fake

How does your nation view Volmachtia? Your nation is a tyrannical dictatorship that shows absolutely no desire to care for its people. There is absolutely nothing we can find positive about you.
Would you consider an alliance with Volmachtia? No
Would you consider trade with Volmachtia? No

What is your nations prominent views regarding the following: (Answer to your best ability. If you don't feel like writing much, feel free to simply write; popular/unpopular but anything you'd like to add, even pictures or musical links provided they are spoilered is welcome.)

How Does Your Nation View and Treat?

Artists: Artists are generally treated as good as their ability to paint are so people who lives painting beautiful romantic style paintings are generally hailed as great heroes and treasures of the federation while those without the ability to paint that blames it on "abstract painting" or somesuch are laughed at.
Actors: the better they are the better are they treated
Musicians: it is seen as a job just as any other and while orchestras might become famous so are single bards unlikely to ever raise above playing on taverns in exchange for a meal, a bed, a couple of stouts of mead and a couple of coins.
Clowns: Jesters are while seen as a degrading job generally well liked at the massive parties held by the noblemen and on market days do the ones that preform earn quite a nice sum of money, people do still however hide their valuables when they do have one in their house mind you.
Writers: Good writers are often invited to parties held by the nobility where they can talk about their latest works and enjoy great respect at the schools while bad writers most likely will end up in the gutters.
Intellectuals: In generally appreciated as many noblemen enjoy inviting them over to discuss literature, philosophy and whatever they have in common.
Scientists: Seen as a bunch of madmen hellbent on creating doomsday devices, deathrays,to bring corpses back to life and in generally beat up the laws of nature.
Entrepreneurs: Not celebrated nor shunned
Industrialists: Seen as pillars of the community and their money helps them to buy them respect from their fellows.
Missionaries & Priests: seen as important and necessary for the spirit and they do as a result enjoy great respect to the degree were it is considered as one of the worst crime to harm a holy man.
Foreigners: Generally snared at or preached to about the error of their ways as we try to enlighten them and bring them the advantages of the Imerian high culture.

What Is Popular In Your Nation?
(Note: By "Popular", We are asking what is the most popular form/genre/style in your nation. )

Popular Music: folk, classic, military and opera.
Orchestral Music: Seen as a great music
Jazz & Swing Music: Mostly considered something that should be left to the niggers in the slums as the more civilized people listen to better things.
Popular Dance:
Ballet:
Theatre: positive
Opera: positive
Popular Sports:
Gladiatorial Combat: Seen as a great source of enjoyment, nothing is better than see a couple of young noblemen trying to show their skill of arms against one another or together against wild animals.
Popular Art: Romanticism
Modern Art: Dear gods we laugh at it.
Traditional Art: the best kind of arts I say
Popular Fashion: tunics, baggy pants pants, a coat and tricornes ad similar hats are considered the thing to wear for commoners while the noblemen wear thigh pants, decorated tunics, a jackets/cloak over the right arm and a decorated hat with large feather in it.

Women are supposed to wear covering dresses even if the nobility wears much finer and more decorated ones.
Popular Food:
What are notable aspects of Imerian cuisine?
Proper Imerian cuisine often includes a lot of root vegetables, herring, moose and reindeer meat and made as fat as possible with rather mild tastes due to the lack of strong spices on the Imerian continent.
Foods may include such things as;
Crisp bread
Surtsramming
Falukorv
Nettlesoup
Filmjalk
Imerian meatballs
memma
Smarrebrad
Leverpastej
Kroppskakor

However due to the multinational nature of the federation so can a large number of other dishes from all over the federation also be found on Imerian plates as both more raw resources and Ingredients pour around to all corners of the federation which have lead to more and more families extending the menu with more kinds of dishes even if proper Imerian dishes still remains as a favourite back in the proper parts of the federation as well as being a growing market in the other realms.


Section 2: Ethics

How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: Dear heavens that would be indecent
Public Displays of Affection: generally frowned upon, holding hands is considered more than enough.
Gambling: A amusing way to spend time and money on.
Alcohol: A rather fun activity
Drug Use: extremely frowned upon in Imeriata proper
Partying: we enjoy a good ball as the next fellow
Gun Ownership: as long as you have a licence are there no problems with it
Homosexuality: it is unknown but those who know about it frowns upon it.
Transsexualism: same as above
Pre-Marital Sex: Frowned upon even if it is a good way to be forced to marry the poor woman
Family: A important part of your life
Marriage: A important part of your life
Prostitution: Frowned upon
Charity: overlooked, if you give to charity is it not a bad thing but if you don't will not anyone raise any eyebrows
Competition: Considered a fun thing, as long as it is not political or economical in which case it must be eliminated.
Cooperation: generally seen as a good thing
Privacy: Seen as much important
Intolerance: It is considered a good way to deal with unwanted elements of society.

Volmachtia has a highly negative opinion of the Democratic Syndicates of Threzlidun. While its dedication to freedom is admirable, it goes about it in the very wrong way- not the least of which being an extremely loose social policy, which has been repeatedly decried by the highly conservative and religious Volmachtia, and also because of their unwarranted and unresearched hatred and bias towards an absolute monarchy. We are cultured and intelligent people, despite what outsiders suggest, and we do not cower when challenged. Our leader is kind and caring for all the billion Volmachtian people, and although he holds total power, he does not exercise it to his whim for fear of God and for love of country. We have nothing positive to say about your economic model, either, for you use outdated and foolish anarchist and socialistic policies that will undoubtedly lead to the unraveling of your society. In short, Volmachtia has a policy of "Avoid at all Costs" policy towards Threzlidun.

Volmachtia has taken an interest to Imeriata, which in some ways reminds our society of the more antique High Volmachtian period in the late 1800s. Military matters aside, your nation indeed appears quite powerful, and having such a force as an opponent would indeed be a challenge for the Imperial Legions. Despite this, we were pleased to meet another absolute monarchy, although some eyebrows were raised by the legalization of abortive practice, which is viewed as any other murder within the Reich.

What is your nations prominent views regarding the following: (Answer to your best ability. If you don't feel like writing much, feel free to simply write; popular/unpopular but anything you'd like to add, even pictures or musical links provided they are spoilered is welcome.)

How Does Your Nation View and Treat?

Artists: Hailed.
Actors: Bread and circuses.
Musicians: Hailed.
Clowns: Laughed at; subjects that hit rock bottom.
Writers: Hailed.
Intellectuals: Hailed.
Scientists: Hailed.
Entrepreneurs: Hailed.
Industrialists: They ushered in the modern era.
Missionaries & Priests: With respect for the most part.
Foreigners: Subjects are near xenophobic.

What Is Popular In Your Nation?
(Note: By "Popular", We are asking what is the most popular form/genre/style in your nation. )

Orchestral Music: Popular
Jazz & Swing Music: Poplular
Ballet: Somewhat Popular
Theatre: It has fallen out of practice.
Opera Not as popular as it was.
Popular Sports: Baseball, Football, Gladiatorial games, Horse racing
Gladiatorial Combat: This is a national sport.

Modern Art: It is seen as formless and without meaning to most.
Traditional Art: Popular by a wide margin.
Popular Fashion: Typical Beringian fashion is reminiscent of the American 1940's and 50's.
Popular Food: Soups and stews are most favored, followed by various pastas.

Section 2: Ethics

How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: Public nudity is a fineable offense and subjects of the Empire are shunned by their local community when this act is undertaken.
Public Displays of Affection: Generally okay to a point.
Gambling: Accepted and in some cities widely practiced.
Alcohol: Consumption of alcohol is a daily act for many male subjects.
Drug Use: Due to extensive use of propaganda over the last few years the general populace has developed a strong hate for drug usage. Some subjects have even gone as far as to raid drug operations as vigilantes. They were, of course, promptly arrested.
Partying: Parties are something that most subjects partake in. Although you wouldn't find underage children partying with alcohol, loud music and whatnot.
Gun Ownership: Gun ownership, like most age restricted activities and rights, is permitted at the age of 17. It's considered a right of passage for a 17 year old boy to go out with his father and purchase a ivory gripped pistol.
Homosexuality: Homosexuality is one of the things propaganda has been used against. Whereas homosexuals were accepted in the 80's and early 90's, public oppinon of homosexuals quickly turned.
Transsexualism: Physiological transsexual babies are subsequently killed after birth unless the parent would keep the deformed child.
Pre-Marital Sex: It happens pretty occasionally.
Family: Family is a core tenant of Beringian society.
Marriage: Marriage is something a Beringian is expected to do.
Prostitution: Prostitution, just as homosexuality, was wiped out with propaganda.
Charity: Rarely happens. It's not a problem the government wishes to correct either.
Competition: It raises the strong and destroys the weak.
Cooperation: It's seen as the means of the optimal means of getting things done in some cases. In other cases it tears down the strong to aid the weak.
Privacy: If this right is abused by a subject the Empire will not hesitate to take it away.
Intolerance: Okay to a point where things start to get unruly.
Feminism: Not something men take too kindly to.
Racism: Most subjects are inherently racist and xenophobic. Private communities, which are quite common, often exclude certain races from residence.
Honor: Honor is occasionally twisted in order to suit a subjects needs.
Chivalry: Men partake in it all too commonly.
Social Darwinism: It's applied to business and the economic side of things.
Religion: Religion isn't as widely practiced as it is in other nations but from polling we have found out 62% of the Empire's subjects practice a religion.
Spirituality: As a whole, and oddly enough, subjects are tolerant of other beliefs as long as they're not forced or excessively practiced.
Altruism: Not something the governing bodies of the Empire partake in.
Selfishness: It's mostly circumstantial. Expect a Beringian to chose a close friend over a group of strangers.
Friendship: This goes along with family.
Magic: Regarded as bullshit used to entertain children.

Social Support/Welfare: Doesn't exist in Beringia
Illegal Immigration: Deported.
War of Intervention: Although it's been done flagrantly in the past, i.e., the Grand Duchy's failed intervention in Vietnam, in recent years we've been leaning more towards isolation.

Although your nation resembles ours in some ways, the restriction of several basic freedoms and an adherence to fascism has caught the negative spur of public opinion in Volmachtia. Although possibly desireable as a military ally, otherwise Beringia would be held at arm's length in a "Live and Let Live" policy.

How do your people as a whole view the following topics/people?

Section 1

Politicians: Generally neutral to favourable. Politicians often viewed as active/compassionate, wether they are Communist Party affiliated or not.
Musicians: Not strong feelings. Musicianship is viewed like any other service industry job.
Art: The majority of the population don't really care much about art, although graffiti is common in the cities. New Freedomstan has few artists per capita (excluding graffiti artists) however.
Military: The majority of the people view the military and the soldiers as good men and women. Some student circles are viciously opposed, especially the National Service and our nuclear arsenal.
Religion: Generally looked down upon.
Freedom: Depends on usage. "Freedom" in New Freedomstan generally refers to freedom from starvation, poverty, unemployment and freedom to unionise. These are viewed very favourably. Freedom of speech, with limits, is also viewed favourably.
The Clergy: Despiced, largely.
Your Leader: Polarised. Most people like him, but some are viciously opposed.
Entertainment: New Freedomstan has a relatively large film and music industry, as well as theatre plays being set up in most towns and cities. Reading is common, although New Freedomstan have few prolific writers.
Happiness: "Socialism is happiness" is a motto, although mostly in the western half (where the communist party have extreme high levels of popularity) and in government propaganda. Contentment is generally seen as superior to happiness, as happiness is fleeting.
Love: Favourably, naturally. Family bonds, however, have little importance (bonds between workmates, lovers and friends being far more important).
Government: "We are the state". The government, due to how it is organised, is seen as a part of people more than anything else. Local Soviets guarantee that the majority of the population is involved in local government, and all non-Coop workers are state-employees.
Environmentalism: Viewed favourably by most of the population, as long as it does not detriment worker's rights.
Animal Liberation: Viewed as a curiosity at best, and has neglible support among the population.
Industrialism: Industry is synonymous to progress for many, and the majority of the workforce works in factories or mines of some sort.
Work Ethic: The workplace is central in New Freedomstani society and politics (due to our Soviet system), and a good work-ethic is viewed favourably. Individually, Nefreedians are quite productive and intentionally lazy individuals are generally shunned by their workmates (sometimes to the point of reporting them for "sabotage").
Oil/Natural Gas: New Freedomstan has neglible petroleum reserves, and little in the way of natural gas. Viewed as a "backwards" energy source, and primarily used by the army out of necessity.
Green Energy: Dams, solar, tidal and wind power makeup most of the New Freedomstani energy production, and green energy is viewed as the only sustainable way to continue the Revolution.

Section 2

Freedom of Press: Neutrally. A limited degree of freedom of the press is viewed favourably, but years of "Freedom of the Press = Freedom to LIE!" propaganda has done it's course on public opinion.
Freedom of Assembly: Viewed favourably.
Freedom to own Guns: Depends on the area. Rural hunting communities are naturally for ownership of hunting rifles. Most are generally for or have no strong opinions of ownership of non-military grade guns by non-soldiery. Few are for private ownership of military-grade weaponry.
Freedom of Religion: Varied. Few are for the dominance of one religion, but many is of the opinion that religion should be banned outright. Restrictions on organised religion has overwhelming support (even from religious), but restrictions on un-organised religions is a heated topic.
Universal Human Rights: Viewed favourably.
Feminism: The view that men and women are equals nears 100% support, and is the norm.
Homosexuality: Varied by area. Rural communities generally disapprove, but the norm in the country is ambivalence.
The Elderly: Generally respected, for either having participated in the revolution or given their whole life to work.
Social Support/Welfare: Viewed favourably. The disabled, the elderly and the young are naturally given welfare. 100% employment (by law) guarantees that other forms of welfare are largely uneccesary.
Illegal Immigration: Greatly restricted, and people are opposed. This largely due to paranoia (foreign spies, etc). The borders are heavily fortified (due to fear of war than immigration, but it does make illegal immigration nearly impossible).
War of Intervention: The population generally supports wars to defend allies or against fascist and ultracapitalist countries.

National Leader(s): Caesar Primis Sanguine, Empress Judith Alakeshwara Sanguine
Political Orientation: Liberal
Economic Orientation: Authoritarian

Section 1. Political Philosophy:

Democracy: It makes sense to us, but if we already have a great leader, why vote him out of office for someone more flawed?
Representative Democracy: The Empire has a Senate, of course, to help aid in the governance of the states that the Empire includes.
Direct Democracy: As stated before, it makes sense to us, but we do not use it.
Monarchy: We use this form of government, because our Emperor is a great leader, and we would like to have him stay. Of course, when the time comes, if his son is an inadequate leader, he will be ousted.
Absolute: If one wishes to make great decisions, he must not face great opposition. We agree to the use of this, in most cases.
Constitutional: If a leader faces hurdles he must endure, he will most likely be an inadequate leader, an incompetent one, or just plain terrible.
Oligarchy: Eh. We have a few leaders (just two), so to some extent, we agree.
Republicanism: We are tolerant of this form of government, but we are not particular in using it. Of course, if the time needed it, we would go through with the change.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Absolute Monarchy is like this, but it doesn't have to be so 'bad'. Legioninca's people love the Emperor, and would never have him change.
Fascism: If a few must suffer, then so be it. Most of the time, though, Legionican's tend to stay away from such practices. No opinion.
Anarchism: A leaderless nation is not a nation at all, but simply a place in shambles.
Anarcho-Capitalism: Capitalism is a good way to further the well-being of a nation. If there is no leadership, I'd rather be in a capitalist place of it.
Anarcho-Mutualism: What? Sorry, we have never heard of such things.
Anarcho-Communism: The best communism, if communism at all. Slightly agree.
Socialist Vanguard State: See Anarcho-Mutalism
Theocracy: To show favoritism to a certain type of creed is absurd, and to be guided by such things is un-human.
Secularism: Much better. We strongly agree to these practices.
Authoritarianism: We should guide the populace in the way they should go, but once they are in a position to live their life to its' fullest, we back off. Agree.
Libertarianism: Agree, as well. Not much more to say.
Conservatism: Old practices may uphold what they once stood for, but we only slightly agree.
Progressivism: If something new works, why not use it? Strongly agree.
Militarism: Legionica is a militaristic nation, and we do it to keep peace and to help our peoples well-being and interest.
Pacifism: If a nation is more isolationist, this makes more sense. But, as we are not, we disagree.
Nationalism: To place your nation high in your mind is alright. To disacknowledge the humanity of other nations is terrible. No opinion
Internationalism: If we all work together to accomplish a goal, we can achieve anything. Strongly agree
Individualism We encourage a person to do what he or she wants, but we must work together at some points. Agree.
Collectivism:See Individualism


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: Heavily agree, but we are sad to see the poor fall so low.
Communism: If someone is falling below the poverty line, we give them a job and food. The lower class is usually governed in a communistic way.
Socialism: No opinion, sorry.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Agree
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Agree, as well.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Disagree, as a fully government controlled nation requires all other nations to be so as well. We know this will never happen.
Gift Economics: Disagree
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Agree. We use this, so... Yeah, we agree.
Agrarianism: We like the idea of it, but we do not use it. Agree
Corporatism: Agree, as we do use this one.
Welfarism: We also use this, but only for the lower classes.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): The liberty and well-being of the citizen and worker is a high-priority in our society, so we allow these things. Agree
Globalization: Agree, and disagree. We want the world to be unified, but if we take down too many borders, we become to collective, and thus the citizen loses his freedoms.
Free Trade: Agree
Fair Trade: We like the notion of this. Agree.
Protectionism: Disagree.
Feudalism: We once used this, but it has become outdated as of now. No opinion.
Environmentalism: Agree. We must take care of our planet, as we only have one.
Consumerism: Agree.
Racism: EVIL! EVIL! EVILLLLLLLL!
Multiculturalism: We accept other cultures and nationalities. Agree.

Age Of Consent: 15

How do your people as a whole view the following topics/people?

Section 1


Politicians: We don't have many, but the ones we do are handpicked to be helpful and caring leaders, and the populace sees them as such.
Musicians: They contribute to society and culture in many ways.
Art: It makes us think in ways we haven't and offers world views not given to us prior. We enjoy art as a whole.
Military: The military is needed to keep the rights of man and citizen free!
Religion: You can have your religion, I have mine. But many Legionicans are Atheist.
Freedom: Without freedom, what does a man have? The shirt on his back? Not even that!
The Clergy: Christian clergy are seen as corrupt, most times. But the Legionican clergy are usually pretty pure.
Your Leader: The leader is great, and we owe our undying gratitude to him for giving us our wonderful lives!
Entertainment: If it feels good, do it. If it looks cool, watch it. Entertainment is a great thing in Legionican culture.
Happiness: A man's happiness is something to be held dear, and as such Legionican culture is accepting and encouraging of happiness.
Love: Ahh, love. It is seen as something of the greatest value to many Legionicans, and as such is held as a priority in our culture.
Government: It is required to have an orderly and happy life. Otherwise, people would die. Every day. Many times. By bikers and other criminals.
Environmentalism: We need our planet, man! We have to show her love and care as we would a trusty pet companion.
Animal Liberation: Pets are a common thing in Legionica, but other than cattle, many animals are made to be let go when their purpose is served.
Industrialism: It provides jobs for people, and provides things for our people to have. It is a needed thing, though not always good.
Work Ethic: You have picked a job, and attained that job. If you do not work, you are a worthless piece of society, you bum.
Oil/Natural Gas: We try to use more sustainable means of energy.
Green Energy: See Oil/Natural Gas

Section 2

Freedom of Press: The people have the right to know what is happening, and if that means slandering the name of the Emperor, so be it.
Freedom of Assembly: People have the right to assemble, and should do so to show differences and to come together to create good ideas.
Freedom to own Guns: If you fear a terrorist attack, keep a gun close by. But, as their is no crime, it is usually not needed.
Freedom of Religion: See Freedom of Religion
Universal Human Rights: Every man, woman, and child is unique, and deserves to be given the right to do what they want, and be treated equally.
Feminism: We treat woman and men equally. There is no need for such silly things.
Homosexuality: If you love that man, he is your lover. Their is no changing that.
The Elderly: IF they've worked a hard and honest life, let them enjoy the fruits of their labor in their older days.
Social Support/Welfare: The lower class must be lifted to become one with the middle or upper class!
Illegal Immigration: We encourage others to come and enjoy our nation, so their is no such thing as illegal immigration, as long as they take a job and become rightful citizens.
War of Intervention: We want everyone to be able to enjoy the freedoms we have, but sometimes we must butt out. Agree.


How does your nation view Volmachtia? Military Reichs are usually our friends, as we enjoy their determination to keep their citizen on top.
Would you consider an alliance with Volmachtia? Of course, friend!
Would you consider trade with Volmachtia? We would, as we trade with many peoples.

Volmachtia has a moderately negative opinion towards New Freedomstan, particularly its communist and atheist ideology that has long been an opponent of the Reich. Though its dedication to a strong military is of interest, barring that its social policies are despicable and the general notion of such is ignored in Volmachtia. In short, Volmachtia has a policy of "General Avoidance" towards you.

Volmachtia has a mixed-to-positive view of Legionica, and while it is not much liked for having looser social policies and being significantly less religious, it is still celebrated for its military prowess and is understood to be a powerful force. Its economic strength would make it an excellent trade partner. In short, Volmachtia has a policy of "Possible Ally" towards Legionica.

There are Catholics also in Alterrea! And the compulsory sacrifice to Our Gods in order to access to a public position has been abolished!
The great majority of the Alterreans simply does not understand how a God can choose to become incarnate in a man (and not in a boar, for example). It's strange.

Your point is noted, but the case remains that most of your people believe in something that Volmachtians do not approve of. Still, do not take that to offense, as we still do like your nation as a greater whole.

Volmachtia has a generally positive view of North Calaveras. While its social policies are too loose for most Volmachtians to prefer, it is still admirably nationalistic, militaristic and highly capitalist. For these reasons, Volmachtia has a policy of "Possible Ally" to North Calaveras.

General Information

Nation Title: The Holy Empire of Terra Mariana
Form of Government: Monarchy with elements of military democracy
National Leader(s): Emperor Iannus III Phayders
Political Orientation: National Socialism
Economic Orientation: Mixed; free enterprises and a strong public sector

Politics and Governance:

Section 1. Political Philosophy:

Democracy: neutral; not part of Marian traditional ways

Representative Democracy: corrupt and disfunctional
Direct Democracy: possible in small collectives only, and practiced by Marian municipalities

Monarchy: The right way to run a state - it is best to have one leader who has been trained to become one from birth;

Absolute: it is as good as the monarch is
Constitutional: it is as good as the constitution is

Oligarchy: corrupt and debased
Republicanism: corrupt and debased
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: depends on the qualities of the dictator, but positive overall
Fascism: probably the best way to run a state along with monarchy
Anarchism: outsider nonsense

Anarcho-Capitalism: outsider nonsense
Anarcho-Mutualism: WTF is that
Anarcho-Communism: the worst kind of outsider nonsense

Socialist Vanguard State: well, we had one "socialist vanguard" state as our neighbours for 70 years, wouldn't ever want that to happen again...
Theocracy: negative; even though Terra Mariana was a theocracy early on, the idea is obsolete today
Secularism: positive; the right way to do things
Authoritarianism: positive
Libertarianism: corrupt and depraved outsider idea
Conservatism: The right way
Progressivism: depends on the definition of progress - if it's about technological innovation, then absolutely yes, but if making a depraved leftie liberal utopia is called progress, then screw that
Militarism: Hell yeah!
Pacifism: There's a nice saying "Those that beat their swords into plowshares shall plow the land for those who did not".
Nationalism: absolutely positive
Internationalism: negative
Individualism: positive to a degree
Collectivism: positive - state first, individual later


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: neutral
Communism: Fuck no!
Socialism: only if it's National Socialism
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: negative
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: the way to go
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: only within reason
Gift Economics: WTF is that?
Traditional/Primitive Economics: neutral
Agrarianism: Neutral
Corporatism: positive
Welfarism: negative
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): negative
Globalization: Fuck no!
Free Trade: negative
Fair Trade: negative - we love to exploit the Third World subhumans
Protectionism: Positive
Feudalism: obsolete
Environmentalism: positive
Consumerism: negative - there's better things to live for than consumption
Racism: Hell yeah!
Multiculturalism: Fuck no!


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms

Private Property: perfectly fine
Freedom of Speech: fine as long you don't preach corrupt outsider debaucheries or show disrespect for our state and tradition
Freedom of Association: fine as long as the same rule as above applies
Gun Ownership: a weapon is a part of every Marian's soul - practically unrestricted
Abortion: illegal except cases of rape or serious health threats; compulsory in cases of hereditary defects
Gay Marriage: only sick perverted outsiders could even consider legalizing something this disgusting
Alcohol: Legal
Tobacco: Legal but discouraged
Drugs: illegal, possession, use and distribution punishable by death

Cannabis: Illegal; for specific illnesses available as prescription drug
"Soft Drugs": Illegal; some drugs are part of army combat stimulants, which are not considered narcotic, but heavily regulated
"Hard Drugs": Illegal

Censorship: Legal but rarely practiced;
Prostitution: Legal; pimping, however, is a crime punishable by 25 years of hard labour
Slavery: illegal for Marian citizens only; outsiders can theoretically be enslaved, but it would go against all age-old Marian traditions to do so
Age Of Consent: 16
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: only of state-approved religions and philosophies

Section 1: Arts & Society

How Does Your Nation View and Treat?

Artists: neutral; those practicing the traditional and "correct" forms of art are esteemed, while those dabbling with decadent outsider genres are looked upon with suspicion
Actors: neutral; you might become a celebrity if you manage to star in one of the many jingoistic war-themed epics produced each year
Musicians: neutral
Clowns: neutral
Writers: neutral
Intellectuals: viewed with suspicion due to tendency of being "open-minded" (considered a borderline mental disorder in Terra Mariana) and prone to becoming corrupt with outsider ideologies; orthodox intellectuals, however, are appreciated
Scientists: the backbone of our society
Entrepreneurs: positive - anyone that does a necessary job for our glorious society is valued
Industrialists: positive - who else would put scientists' inventions to use if not them
Missionaries & Priests: clergymen are regarded largely as relics of past, but nonetheless tolerated as being part of our national culture and tradition; foreign missionaries, however, are viewed with deep suspicion as any outsider
Foreigners: viewed with deep suspicion and distrust

What Is Popular In Your Nation?
(Note: By "Popular", We are asking what is the most popular form/genre/style in your nation. )

Popular Music: folk, classic, military, rock & heavy metal
Orchestral Music: classic, military
Jazz & Swing Music: civilized white people don't listen to such subhuman trash; however, there is a certain underground following
Popular Dance: Marians don't dance; well, most of them don't - the rest mostly dance traditional folk dances
Ballet: enjoyed by cultured folk
Theatre: same as above
Opera: same as above
Popular Sports: just about any sport there is - fitness and competition is part of Marian way
Gladiatorial Combat: a popular spectator sport; and it helps keep our labour camp and prison populations down
Popular Art: National Romanticism
Modern Art: only an outsider could consider something as hideous an art
Traditional Art: the best kind of art
Popular Fashion: uniforms of a myriad of types, traditional dress for special occasions; a Marian is proud to wear a uniform of his work collective and to display affiliation with a particular social group
Popular Food: traditional cuisine, of course; many types of outsider foods are also appreciated (that's probably one of the few things outsider that Marians do not despise)


Section 2: Ethics

How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: Grossly indecent and illegal
Public Displays of Affection: slightly disapproved
Gambling: disapproved but legal
Alcohol: perfectly fine, in moderation, of course
Drug Use: highly taboo, illegal and punishable by death
Partying: neutral - fine as long as people don't indulge in excesses like outsiders do
Gun Ownership: one of the fundaments of Marian society - no citizen is a true citizen without a gun
Homosexuality: vile and disgusting outsider filth, punishable by death or re-education
Transsexualism: even more vile and disgusting outsider filth, punishable the same
Pre-Marital Sex: allowed but slightly taboo
Family: another fundament of Marian society
Marriage: very important - marriage is part of forming family, right?
Prostitution: tolerated but taboo
Charity: neutral - Marian way is to give charity only to the truly needy, whose misfortunes are no fault of their own
Competition: as long as it's productive and spurs on improvement and innovation, it's fine
Cooperation: obviously a valuable thing for a society to survive
Privacy: not very important - good honest folks don't have anything to hide
Intolerance: Marian society has survived to present day largely thanks to their intolerance
Feminism: Outsider nonsense
Racism: Hell yeah! Too bad our ideology forbids us from having coloured outsiders in our borders, it would sure be fun to discriminate them! But if seriously, it's good as it is - with none of them here, there's nobody to get on our nerves about racism and discrimination.
Honour: yet another cornerstone of Marian society
Chivalry: part of being honourable is displaying chivalry; however, a Marian is not obliged to be chivalrous against the unworthy
Social Darwinism: the way life works
Religion: not really important; we only keep it because it is part of our national traditions
Spirituality: a thing of personal preference; there are more earthly things for most citizens to be concerned of;
Altruism: Sacrifice for the good of our glorious nation is an epitome of virtue
Selfishness: Acceptable on individual level, but frowned upon if it goes against the interests of nation or community
Friendship: Important
Magic: a thing of fairytales

How does your nation view Volmachtia?
Neutral - we haven't had any diplomatic contacts before
Would you consider an alliance with Volmachtia?
If your nation proves worthy of Marian friendship, then perhaps
Would you consider trade with Volmachtia?
Yes
