Art: Amazing philosophers. They see and create idealistic worlds, tragedies, romance... all the humanities in their paintings, sculptures and drawings.

Religion: Woefully simple-minded individuals and the desperate tread here.
Freedom: Imperative. Freedom is neither given nor received, it is already there.
The Clergy: See "Religion"
Your Leader: Our 'leaders' are subject to change at the whim of the people.
Entertainment: Creativity and cleverness is essential.
Happiness: A deluded emotion, but, essentially, needed.
Love: Many believe in it, few understand it.
Government: Must be subject to the people.
Environmentalism: Imperative as well. A large amount of our budget and efforts go to creating more efficient and environmentally safe solutions to every day problems.
Animal Liberation: To us, animals an d the creatures of this earth must be taken care of and awarded the same treatment as us humans.
Industrialism: Ingenuity with nature in mind.
Work Ethic: We have a massive workforce and extensive programs aimed towards the overall morale of our workers.
Oil/Natural Gas: We have never used these resources.
Green Energy: See environment
Freedom of Press: Yes

General Information

Nation Title: The Commonwealth of Novariea
Form of Government: Unitary Autocratic State/Benevolent Dictatorship
National Leader(s): Chancellor Isaac Hawke
Political Orientation: Socially Libertarian, Economically Moderate, Politically Authoritarian
Economic Orientation: Mixed Economy (Social Market Economy)

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: An inefficient method of running a nation. Not abhorrent, but inefficient.
    Representative Democracy: See Above.
    Direct Democracy: Even more so.
Monarchy: Good, if the monarch is just. Other forms of autocracy are preferred however, since hereditary succession does not guarantee leadership ability or competence.
    Absolute: See above.
    Constitutional: Fine, though a ruler can work better without such restrictions.
Oligarchy: Good, if the rulers are just, though it lacks the decisiveness inherent in having a single authority figure.
Republicanism: Meaning what exactly? If referring to merely the idea of having a head of state that is not selected hereditary, we approve of it. If meaning to envoke the more democratic connotations of it, we disagree, as noted under our response to democracy above.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Dictatorship is not necessarily totalitarian. We approve of the strong and decisive leadership a dictatorship can provide, but we wholly disapprove of totalitarianism and the state's intrusion into the personal lives and suppression of the personal freedoms of its citizens without extremely good cause.
Fascism: We disapprove of totalitarian and xenophobic states, and Fascist states tend to be both.
Anarchism: Ridiculous and unrealistic.
    Anarcho-Capitalism: See above.
    Anarcho-Mutualism: See above.
    Anarcho-Communism: See above.
Socialist Vanguard State: Unrealistic.
Theocracy: Abhorrent. Freedom of religion (or lack thereof) is essential. Personal religious beliefs (no matter how strongly held or by how many people) should not dictate government policy.
Secularism: Preferable. One of the marks of an enlightened society.
Authoritarianism: Fine, as long as it is not taken to totalitarian levels.
Libertarianism: We agree with most of the social aspects, but not the economic or political aspects.
Conservatism: Disagree.
Progressivism: Very much for.
Militarism: Acceptable if it is not taken to extremes. Being always prepared for war is a wise precaution, but violence and threat of military action is but one tool among many for an enlightened state, and violence should be avoided unless diplomacy and reason fail.
Pacifism: Noble, but foolishly over idealistic.
Nationalism: Pride in one's nation is acceptable and even admirable to a point. When it is taken to the extremes of xenophobia, it is abhorrent.
Internationalism: Generally agree.
Individualism Neutral.
Collectivism: Neutral.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:


Capitalism: Good, if appropriately regulated.
Communism: Unrealistic in practice.
Socialism: Fine if not taken to extremes.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Disagreeable.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Agree.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Neutral.
Gift Economics: Seems unworkable except for perhaps in very small communities.
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Disagree.
Agrarianism: Disagree.
Corporatism: Disagree.
Welfarism: Neutral.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Neutral.
Globalization: Neutral.
Free Trade: Neutral.
Fair Trade: Neutral.
Protectionism: Necessary to an extent.
Feudalism: Disagree.
Environmentalism: Neutral. Unnecessary harm to the environment should be avoided, but the environment is not a primary concern to us.
Consumerism: Neutral.
Racism: Abhorrent.
Multiculturalism: Agree.

Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms
What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues?

Private Property
Freedom of Speech: Yes.
Freedom of Association: Yes.
Gun Ownership: Legal, with few restrictions.
Abortion: Legal. Entirely the mother's choice.
Gay Marriage: Legal.
Alcohol: Legal.
Tobacco: Legal.
Drugs:
    Cannabis: Legal.
    "Soft Drugs": Some are legal.
    "Hard Drugs":
Illegal.
Censorship: Absolutely not.
Prostitution: Legal and regulated.
Slavery: Abhorrent and most definitely illegal.
Age Of Consent: 16.
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: Yes.

Section 4: Society
How do your people as a whole view the following topics/people?

Section 1

Politicians: Necessary. Though Novariean politicians are somewhat different from those in the average democracy, being appointed by the Chancellor and/or those higher up in authority that the Chancellor has delegated the responsibility to.
Musicians: A profession like any other for most. Especially good ones are generally appreciated though.
Art: Good art is generally appreciated.
Military: A strong military is necessary for the security of the state and people.
Religion: Generally seen as being somewhat silly and eccentric, though most are not hostile to it and any believers as long as they do not infringe upon the rights or beliefs of others.
Freedom: Extremely important.
The Clergy: Generally seen as being corrupt and self-important.
Your Leader: General approval and respect.
Entertainment: We do enjoy good entertainment, yes.
Happiness: A much praised and highly sought after emotion.
Love: Likewise.
Government: Strong government that protects and provides for its people while respecting their personal freedoms is excellent.
Environmentalism: Ambivalent. Protecting the environment from undue harm is a good cause, but it should not hinder development.
Animal Liberation: Ridiculous. While most would generally agree that unnecessary animal cruelty is abhorrent, animals are not sapient and therefore not deserving of the same rights as humans. They're also tasty.
Industrialism: Necessary for the expansion and advancement of any nation.
Work Ethic: Highly respected and approved of. We Novarieans do like our efficiency, and a motivated worker is an efficient one.
Oil/Natural Gas: Neutral.
Green Energy: Nice, but insufficient alone.

Section 2

Freedom of Press: A necessity.
Freedom of Assembly: A necessity.
Freedom to own Guns: Important. Novarieans may own and carry most firearms without restriction provided they are 18+ years of age, do not possess a serious criminal record, are mentally sound, and have passed the appropriate Firearms Safety and Operation Test.
Freedom of Religion: A necessity.
Universal Human Rights: Very much something we agree with. Any human (or other sapient lifeform for that matter) would have the same rights as any Novariean on our soil.
Feminism: Unnecessary in Novariea, but it and similar movements for equality are much approved of in places where such equality has not yet been achieved.
Homosexuality: A natural and entirely acceptable orientation. (The same goes for bisexuality, pan-sexuality, asexuality etc)
The Elderly: Deserve as much respect as anyone else. They should not be automatically revered because of their age, but judged on their individual merits, just like anyone else.
Social Support/Welfare: Necessary for a truly strong and benevolent state.
Illegal Immigration: Disapproval. Hardly necessary anyway. It's not very difficult to legally immigrate, unless you're a mass murderer or war criminal or other undesirable.
War of Intervention: Fine when it is in our interest to do so, or it is to halt atrocities in progress. For example, the average Novariean would be in favour of the NATO involvement in Libya.

How does your nation view Strebedia? : They seem fine to us.
Would you consider an alliance with Strebedia?: Perhaps.
Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia? : Yes.

Postby Genomita » Sat Jul 16, 2011 2:55 pm

General Information

Nation Title: The Transhuman Community of Genomita
Form of Government: Representative democracy
National Leader(s): The high council of Qaura, which consists of democratically elected politicians from each of the Genomitan cities
Political Orientation: moderate left, more accurately social democracy
Economic Orientation: also moderate 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: Highly positive. It is important to respect the wishes of the population. However, it is only good when the people agree on what they want.

Representative Democracy: A good alternative between practicality and democracy. Everybody has his own opinion, but not everybody possesses the neccesary knowledge to make the right decisions.
Direct Democracy: Good in theory, but simply impractical for the above reason, especially in large communities.

Monarchy: Too much power in the hands of too few people.

Absolute: A system with little respect for the lives and wishes of the populace
Constitutional: Only a minor improvement to the former.

Oligarchy: the needs of the many are always more important than those of the few. This also includes a nations' leader
Republicanism: Not everybody has the same opinion. The wishes of the minority also deserve respect.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: A inhuman system, even worse than absolute monarchy. Dictators have no respect for the needs of those they govern, and we have no respect for selfishness.
Fascism: Quite simply, we find this despicable. The government is meant to be the guide of it's nation, not it's opressor. We have no respect for governments who do not respect the freedoms of their populace.
Anarchism: Somebody always needs to be in charge. Without someone who guides a nation into the right direction, a nation will soon succumb to chaos.

Anarcho-Capitalism: As above. Capitalism in general is a easily abused system, which tends to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
Anarcho-Mutualism: Somewhat preferrable to the above, but still a system without qualified leaders.
Anarcho-Communism: Communism in genral sounds good on paper but is nigh-impossible to achieve without trampling over the rights of the populace.

Socialist Vanguard State: Moderate socialism can work if one remains aware of certain guidelines. However, there is a fine line between moderate and extreme socialism.
Theocracy: People should be allowed to choose what they believe in, or wether they believe in higher forces at all.
Secularism: Genomita as a whole is largely agnostic, but we allow everyone to follow their religion of choice so long as it doesn't require the believer to harm others.
Authoritarianism: No, just no.
Libertarianism: A good idea, but it has it#s faults
Conservatism: There can be no survival without progress. Sooner or later you will be forced to evolve and adapt or suffer for allowing your civilization to stagnate.
Progressivism: Progress is good, the more the better.
Militarism: never in our history have we attempted to conquer another nations# ground. We have always preferred to settle where others could not survive, and adapt to the circumstances.
Pacifism: One should always be ready to defend oneself, but once the threat has been averted, there is no need to press the charge.
Nationalism: No nation is inherently superior to another.
Internationalism: One should always be willing to expand one's horizon.
Individualism The needs of the many are always more important than those of the few, but we also respect the needs of our people on a individual basis.
Collectivism: See above.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: A easily corrupted system which tends to create a wide division between the rich and the poor.
Communism: A good idea on paper, but nigh-impossible to realize.
Socialism: A good system if used in moderation.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: A easily abused system.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: We have a mixed economy and consider this the fairest economic system
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Lack of competition leads to stagnation. there should be guidelines, yes, but there is a limit to how much regulation a system can take.
Gift Economics: It can work, if the people have the goodwill and compassion to make it work.
Traditional/Primitive Economics: They are not for us.
Agrarianism: there is nothing inherently corrupting about city life.
Corporatism: the darker side of capitalism
Welfarism: Welfare is important. Nobody should need to die because of poverty.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): It can work if the people in charge keep the interests of the many in mind.
Globalization: A wonderful thing. Exchange of ideas is always good.
Free Trade: A system way too easy to corrupt by weak-willed and greedy people.
Fair Trade: greatly preferable to free trade.
Protectionism: Sometimes the goods created by other nations are simply better than your own. Why make access to them needlessly expensive ?
Feudalism: Quite franky, a backwards system we have little respect for.
Environmentalism: Sustainability is more important than blind enviromentalism.
Consumerism: Money cannot buy happiness
Racism: The epitome of foolishness
Multiculturalism: It's always a good thing to expand one's horizon.


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms
What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues?

Private Property Yes, we allow people to have their own things, but our citizens are expected to share with those in need.
Freedom of Speech: Sacrosanct in Genomita.
Freedom of Association: Also sacrosanct.
Gun Ownership: Citizens are allowed to carry nonlethal guns for self defense.
Abortion: it's important to give people the choice.
Gay Marriage: There is nothing wrong with this.

Tobacco: It's allowed.
Drugs: generally viewed as a waste of one's physical and mental potential.

Cannabis: Allowed if used in moderation, though mostly available for health reasons.
"Soft Drugs": The government has issued a list which of these are legal and which aren't.
"Hard Drugs": See above.


Censorship: We are against this. Literally nothing good comes from it.
Prostitution: Everybody gets lonely sometimes, and people can get desperate, but there's always an alternative in Genomita.
Slavery: A crime against sentient life.
Age Of Consent: 18
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: Again, It's important to give people the choice.

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

Section 1

Politicians: They are neccesary for the good of the country, though they should always put the need of the nation before their own.
Musicians: Music is a beautiful thing. There are so many things one can do with it.
Art: The high arts are very popular among us, and most parents encourage their children to pursue an artform as a hobby.
Military: The dutiful defenders of our civilization, the Genomitan Defense Force employs genetically improved (even more so than normal) soldiers and biodrones to protect our borders.
Religion: As long as a religion doesn't require human sacrifices or similar practices, it is probably allowed here.
Freedom: People need a certain amount of breathing room.
The Clergy: As long as they don't try to forcibly convert people to their faith, they are welcome.
Your Leader: The high counsil is respected among the Genomitans, though people are allowed to think what they want about it.
Entertainment: Sometimes it's neccesary to take a break and just have fun. Entertainment is important.
Happiness: very important, though you should not try to increase your happiness at the expence of another's.
Love: Everybody needs it <3. Genomitans as a whole are very compassionate and affectionate.
Government: it does it's job well.
Environmentalism: Sustainability is important. Sacrificing everything for the sake of nature is foolish.
Animal Liberation: Animals deserve to be treated with respect as well, but see above.
Industrialism: Generally viewed as a bad thing.
Work Ethic: Do your job well, but do not get in over your head. Know your limits.
Oil/Natural Gas: There is only so much where that comes from.
Green Energy: It's worth the effort.

Section 2

Freedom of Press: The people deserve to be informed.
Freedom of Assembly: Every city has a designated area for public protest.
Freedom to own Guns: As long as they're nonlethal, it's fine.
Freedom of Religion: Noone can force yout to believe in something.
Universal Human Rights: They are important.
Feminism: Our population has been hermaphrodithic for generations. However, we believe both genders deserve the same rights.
Homosexuality: There is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
The Elderly: most of them deserve our respect for ehat they did, and the wisdom they accumulated through they long lives.
Social Support/Welfare: It is every citizens' responsibility to make sure that nobody falls through the cracks.
Illegal Immigration: these people usually have their reasons. As long as they don't cause trouble, they can stay.
War of Intervention: Genomita has a standing policy that we will not initiate agressions against another nations unless specifically requested by an allied nation.

How does your nation view Strebedia? We know too little to form a real opinion, but we would like to know more.
Would you consider an alliance with Strebedia? Maybe, but based on what little we know so far, leaning yes.
Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia? Possibly.
I use 80BF00 for native Genomitan,4040BF for Standard and BF80000 for Skav

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?

Private Property: Legal
Freedom of Speech: A must
Freedom of Association: A must
Gun Ownership: Legal with only some regulation
Abortion: Legal
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 prohibitted in public areas aside from bars, clubs, and other places that allow them
Drugs: Legal at age 18, though smoked drugs follow the same rules as tobacco
Cannabis: See above
"Soft Drugs": See above
"Hard Drugs": See above for rules, though it's use is extremely rare

Censorship: Prohibitted
Prostitution: Impossible due to our economic system, though not viewed as taboo
Slavery: Outlawed as a horendous violation of human rights
Age Of Consent: 14, though if one is proven capable of giving consent before this age they are free to do so
Freedom of Religion/Conscience:
Full religious freedom is granted to all


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

Section 4: Society

Politicians: Nonexistent in our society, though it truly depends on the individual when observing them in other societies. Most are viewed as being corrupt.
Musicians: They are loved throughout Threlizdun
Art: Most Threlizdunians feel it to be almost a civic duty to create art of some form
Military: We hold a very small defensive force, though we do not accept using it for agressive purposes
Religion: It depends on the individual. The largest faith in Threlizdun is a form of pantheism that general teaches love and tolerance of others. To integrate into Threlizdunian society most faiths had to adopt such viewpoints, and alos had to maintain liberal views on policies such as LGBTQP rights, feminism, and scientific discovery. Due to the cultural diversity of Threlizdun, most people are quite tolerant of other faiths.
Freedom: Freedom is held in the highest regard in Threlizdun. It is something we all love and wish to protect.
The Clergy: It depends on the individual, though most Threlizdunians, while often spiritual, are a bit disapointed in the actions taken be organized faiths. Most Threlizdunians see the beauty found in the natural world as more inspirational than religious doctrine.
Your Leader: We don't have one
Entertainment: One should certainly seek fun in life
Happiness: Threlizdunians have come to have a great appreciation of life and the world around them, so most are quite naturally joyous.
Love: It is a magnificant force that can be used to unite all, bring peace, and extinquish the fires of hatred.
Government: Unnecessary for us, though we understand that some societies aren't ready for anarchism yet. There are a few Threlizdunians that oppose anarchism, but they are rare.
Environmentalism: Most of our land is covered in forests. We desperately wish to protect it.
Animal Liberation: Vegetarianism and veganism have a bit more adherants here than other places and animals are granted some basic rights against cruelty, but we still allow farming and hunting.
Industrialism: We view it quite negatively for its affects on the environment and exploitation of the workers
Work Ethic: We typically enjoy what we do, so we go into work desiring to do our best
Oil/Natural Gas: Not used
Green Energy: We have a massive amount of wind farms, a good amount of solar plants, and some geothermal plants. We only use environmentally friendly energy.
Freedom of Press: A news organization cannot go out and lie to the people in a manner that may harm them (saying that an area is in danger and must be evacuated when no real threat is there for example), though other than that you may say as you please.
Freedom of Assembly: Any nonviolent assembly is perfectly fine
Freedom to own Guns: Acceptable
Freedom of Religion: Perfectly fine
Universal Human Rights: We believe that humans do indeed have fundamental rights
Feminism: Yes, we believe that all genders should be treated equally
Homosexuality: Perfectly acceptable
The Elderly: We respect them and grant them what they need
Social Support/Welfare: It's all community-based here, so few would actually say they wouldn't want to help their neighbor
Illegal Immigration: If you can't immigrant into this country, you'd have had to have killed someone, raped them, or enslaved them. That's about the only reason we wouldn't let you in.
War of Intervention: If human rights are being violated, our people sometimes do go to join the local forces or international peacekeeping forces.



How does your nation view Strebedia? They seem like a rather fine nation to us
Would you consider an alliance with Strebedia? Sure
Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia? Our economic system makes international trade relations difficult, so no
Communalist, Social Ecologist, Bioregionalist,
Sex-Positive Feminist, Queer, Trans-woman, Polyamorous

This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

General Information

Nation Title: The Yvenia Kah'ranate
Form of Government: Semi-constitutional Monarchy
National Leader(s): Ak'sha Pluvern
Political Orientation: Centre-Libertarian
Economic Orientation:
Capitalist

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: If it is not corrupt? Most excellent!
Representative Democracy: The Riyuil Assembly is this.
Direct Democracy: Impractical.
Monarchy: We are this! Add in the Riyuil Assembly, and we are a semi-democratic nation.
Absolute: The Kah'ra, or king, needs some moral restraint over his or her power, and thus the Arca Code limits the powers of our monarch.
Constitutional: We would not want our leader to serve only as a figurehead now, would we? The Kah'ra reserves authority to veto any bill that comes to his chamber, though a clause in the Arca Code allows for the Riyuil Assembly to override the veto with a 2/3rd majority vote in favour of the bill.
Oligarchy: Having multiple rulers at the pinnacle of achievement can lead to infighting when belligerent ideas clash together.
Republicanism: We are somewhat this.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Opposed. Any nation which abuses its own citizens for "the sake of state security" is unfit to rule.
Fascism: Same as above.
Anarchism: Foolish. If murder was legal, would you support Anarchy any further if your wife died?
Anarcho-Capitalism: Though we love capitalism, anything which involves anarchy is generally opposed. So no.
Anarcho-Mutualism: Also no.
Anarcho-Communism: We hate Communism with a passion. Throw in an Anarcho-Communist in one of our villages, and an angry mob will most likely kill him or her without recourse.
Socialist Vanguard State: Socialism is a "milder" form of Communism. What makes it different? We hate this.
Theocracy: Though over 90 percent of our citizens adhere to Rui'ism, the remaining ten percent of the population whom follow different faiths would be outraged if we implement pro-Rui'ist laws. So no.
Secularism: We are this.
Authoritarianism: Suspicious. Extremist authoritarianism threatens the integrity and labour of its people, and thus we regard extremist states as equally hated as Communism.
Libertarianism: In moderation, granting citizens civil liberties helps to ensure that the individual excels in society.
Conservatism: We retain our monarchy and our nationalism, yet we steer away from extremist attitudes.
Progressivism: Opposed. Socialism is no better than Communism.
Militarism: If a military grows too large, its extent of power can pose an existential risk for any functional democratic nation. Thus, we generally regard militaristic nations with initial suspicion
Pacifism: Opposed. Lowering one's guard can pose a risk for him or her if the aggressor intends to dominate one's nation.
Nationalism: We are fiercely proud of our culture. Any nation which submits to foreign intervention is generally seen as weak and vulnerable by the Riyuil Assembly.
Internationalism: International trade brings in many exotic goods, yet the risk of foreign pathogens, cultural displacement, and inter-ethnic violence is too great for us to allow total integration of the global economy into our society. Thus, we are somewhat opposed to Internationalism.
Individualism: One should not have to turn over his or her personal achievements to a collective. We strongly support the individual's creativity and innovation over that of "the good of the people."
Collectivism:
Foolish and tied with Communism.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: We are this.
Communism: We hate this. Any YCP-aligned Communist found to be wandering our streets shall be publicly executed for participating in the terror group. Otherwise, any rogue Communist found residing in a village is usually subject to traditional ousting and exile if not being mobbed by an angry group of villagers.
Socialism: What makes this different from Communism? We dislike Socialism with a passion, though to a lesser degree since it does not necessarily involve collectivism.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Though we are Capitalist, it would be unwise to allow the unblocked proliferation of deadly products in our nation. Thus, we implement some minimal health standards for our industries and reward said institutions with a nice tax reduction.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Indifferent/ Unheard of.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Isn't this Communism? No!
Gift Economics: Some rural villages practice Gift economic systems so as to help sustain their small citizen count. In larger towns and cities, however, everyone is to him or herself. No government hand-outs.
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Rural villages and some towns practice this due to an abundance of sugarcane and flax. We have longed supported a Traditional economy despite the turn of the 21st Century.
Agrarianism: We are opposed to collectivization of land, for doing so would constitute a Communist threat. Everyone has his or her own claim to land as long as the claim does not overlap/interfere/ with private territory.
Corporatism: As long as corporations do not corrupt the Riyuil Assembly, we are fine with them.
Welfarism: We do not endorse nor promote a welfare state. Do not ask for handouts in Yvenia.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Indifferent so as long as trade unions do not utilize violent methods to achieve a means of revolution.
Globalization: Opposed. Though we accept the export and import of goods between Yvenia and other involved nations, we do not want foreign interference in our economic-political laws.
Free Trade: We believe that, in moderation, free trade gives the worker, foreman, and CEO an abundant trove of wealth. However, it is in our best interests to limit foreign imports so as to avoid destabilizing our economy.
Fair Trade: Why should we care about the little guy who probably hates us? If they whine that we are overcoming their markets with our goods, it is only fair game that we dominate their markets. Otherwise, they would be left in a state of starvation...
Protectionism: We implement modest tariffs so as to protect our industries from foreign competition. Any foreign corporation found evading our tariffs shall have its president brought to trial in Yvenia before being imprisoned and whipped in public view.
Feudalism: Some villages in Yvenia continue to practice the leasing of land to farmer heads in exchange for taxation. Nevertheless, Feudalism is rapidly dying out as new roads and canals link these isolated villages to our complex trade network.
Environmentalism: We give tax incentives to our industries in exchange that they limit their impact on the environment. In addition, it is considered common courtesy of industrial foremen to limit toxic emissions so as to minimize the nearby population's exposure to chemicals.
Consumerism: As we are Capitalist, the consumer does have influence in what farmers and industries produce. If no one is buying the latest gaming system, it would be wise if not necessary for a local industry to close production of that "hot" new toy.
Racism: Our culture considers racist attitudes taboo when expressed in public. Be courteous yet firm when dealing with foreigners.
Multiculturalism:
Though we welcome citizens of all backgrounds to settle in Yvenia, we will not tolerate desecration, insults, or any other offensive gestures against our civilization. Any foreigner caught insulting a local Chieftain will face public humiliation after being lashed ten to twenty times by a whip.


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms
What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues?

Private Property: Protected by the Arca Code. Trespassing is punishable by imprisonment and or public lashing.
Freedom of Speech: Protected by the Arca Code, though to moderation. INsulting one's neighbor constitutes as harassment and verbal assault, crimes which are punishable by a small fine.
Freedom of Association: As long as one is not associated with the Yvenian Communist Party and its guerrilla camps, we respect one's right to band with other people in public.
Gun Ownership: Unregulated. However, murder is punishable only by the Death Penalty.
Abortion: Unregulated, though traditional Yvenian beliefs consider abortion taboo except in the case when a pregnancy threatens the integrity of a woman's life.
Gay Marriage: Unregulated. Yvenians have better things to do than to bemoan homosexuality. Homosexuals enjoy equality with other citizens.
Alcohol: Unregulated. Yvenian custom generally allows the consumption of alcohol at age 8 within family settings. Citizens aged 13 and up are usually permitted by local stores to purchase alcoholic beverages.
Tobacco: Unregulated, though consumption of tobacco is relatively rare in Yvenia due to the plant's scarcity.
Drugs: Aside from alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and other pharmaceutical chemicals, all other drugs are illegal. Trafficking drugs into our nation shall result in the trafficker being executed in public by a ricin-tipped blow dart.
Cannabis: Illegal
"Soft Drugs": Illegal
"Hard Drugs": Illegal

Censorship: As long as publishing and radio firms do not promote YCP activities, publisher censors usually respect the freedom of the press.
Prostitution: Illegal. Prostitutes are thrown into jail for several weeks.
Slavery: Illegal. Trafficking human cargo into our nation is punishable by the death penalty, and all slaves whom meet citizenship requirements are offered citizenship to our nation. Otherwise, they are deported to their nation of origin by the Yvenian Royal Navy.
Age Of Consent: 13.
Freedom of Religion/Conscience:[/b] Protected by the Arca Code.


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

Section 4: Society

Politicians: Incorruptible officials are seen as necessary for being leaders of the Riyuil Assembly.
Musicians: As long as musicians do not insult our heritage, we are fine with them.
Art: We have traditional potters in the countryside. Every year, more than two million vases, dishes, and bowls pass hands between our people.
Military: Serving in the YRA and YRN is a feat of honour that is unmatched by everything else in our nation.
Religion: Utilizing one's faith to establish a guideline of proper conduct is an indicator of civilization.
Freedom: In moderation, civil liberties enable societies to progress and mature into regional superpowers, for creativity is necessary for an economy.
The Clergy: Clergymen are deemed with the utmost respect in the Kah'ranate. Regardless of one's affiliation, being a religious leader of any religious denomination carries the honour of serving citizens at home during times of strife.
Your Leader: Kah'ra Ak'sha Pluvern scores a 92% approval rating according to a joint poll orchestrated by the Amiers Engineering Institute and the Jarazi Naval Academy.
Entertainment: As long as it is modest and not frivolous, entertainment can provide for hours of inspiration for one's pursuits.
Happiness: Happiness is a result of achievement in society for oneself or for another loved one.
Love: Prudence and fidelity are essential for a healthy love life.
Government: As long as the government respects the integrity of its economy and citizens, its existence is essential to the function of society.
Environmentalism: Sustainability, not the complete yielding of technology to nature; is key to economic development that supports natural diversity.
Animal Liberation: Intentionally harming an animal is akin to assaulting another citizen.
Industrialism: Systematically orienting a factory's operations is essential for every Capitalist nation.
Work Ethic: Work hard, and one shall reap his or her rewards without recourse from his or her fellow coworkers; slack off, and the supervisor reserves every right to dismiss him or her.
Oil/Natural Gas: We rely on coal, not oil or natural gas. Nevertheless, overall coal consumption pales in comparison to that of hydroelectric power generated by our dams.
Green Energy: We operate more than 453 hydroelectric generators across dozens of dams. We are proud to say that we are ahead of many other developed nations in the world when it comes to hydroelectric technology.
Freedom of Press: As long as the press does not incite violence against our citizenry, we permit publishing firms to send out whatever they please to offer.
Freedom of Assembly: Protected by the Arca Code.
Freedom to own Guns: Unregulated. Murder, however, is punishable by the death penalty, so think twice before you aim a barrel at someone.
Freedom of Religion: Unregulated, yet promoted by our culture.
Universal Human Rights: Human rights are an indicator of a nation's progress.
Feminism: Our women already have the same social standing as our men. What else could they ask for?
Homosexuality: Indifferent.
The Elderly: Respected with honour. An elderly citizen may have many tales, anecdotes, and other important information to divulge to the next generation.
Social Support/Welfare: We are against government-sponsored welfare.
Illegal Immigration: If a being is found to voluntarily occupy our nation without the proper paperwork filed at one of our consulates, he or she is to be whipped in public before being locked up for an indeterminate amount of time.
War of Intervention:
If we fight for another nation's sake, they are expected to pay for our service.... An oil field on occupied soil might come in handy.....


How does your nation view Strebedia? We are indifferent to Strebedia.
Would you consider an alliance with Strebedia? No, for doing so without knowing another nation poses a security risk between both nations.
Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia? Why not? As long as the said items are not contraband, we are willing to trade with anyone.

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.

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.


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

Musicians: Bread and circuses?
Art: Same as above

Religion: Not the business of the government
Freedom: Vague term
The Clergy: Not the business of the government
Your Leader: Beringians throughout the Empire, with the exception of Grand Beringia and Tastifania, generally like the Empress
Entertainment:
Happiness: Obtainable
Love: Amazing?
Government: Beringians see the government
Environmentalism: Unnecessary
Animal Liberation: Very funny
Industrialism: The driving force of the modern world
Work Ethic: A certain lack in this area creates homeless
Oil/Natural Gas: Seen as inferior to nuclear power
Green Energy: Infeasible

Section 2

Freedom of Press: Doesn't exist in Beringia
Freedom of Assembly: Doesn't exist in Beringia
Freedom to own Guns: Exists with limits
Freedom of Religion: Exits only because we are secular
Universal Human Rights: Not every human is equal

Homosexuality: Illegal
The Elderly: Treated generally well, they don't receive any special checks or anything though.
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.
Beringia is back!

Mixed

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)

Socialist Vanguard State: Well, we had one as our neighbours for 70 years... Don't want that to ever happen again.
Theocracy: obsolete
Secularism: positive
Authoritarianism: positive
Libertarianism: outsider nonsense
Conservatism: positive, of course
Progressivism: depends on the definition of progress; if you mean technological, than absolutely, but if you mean building a leftie liberal hippie utopia, than screw progress
Militarism: Hell, yeah!
Pacifism: the most pathetic kind of outsider nonsense
Nationalism: Hell, yeah!
Internationalism: Fuck, no!
Individualism: Good in modesty
Collectivism:
Our way - nation's interests before individual's.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: neutral
Communism: the worst kind of idiocy since liberalism
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: negative - too much, too bad;
Gift Economics: What on earth is gift economics?
Traditional/Primitive Economics: neutral; not our way
Agrarianism: neutral
Corporatism: positive
Welfarism: negative
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): negative
Globalization: the worst thing to strike mankind since Black Death and the World Wars
Free Trade: negative
Fair Trade: negative; we like to exploit Third World subhumans - that's what they are for, aren't they?
Protectionism: the way to go
Feudalism: obsolete
Environmentalism: positive
Consumerism: negative; our citizens have better things to do than just consume
Racism: Hell yeah! Too bad we don't have any minorities left to discriminate against, or we'd happily oblige...
Multiculturalism:
Fuck no!


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms
What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues?

Private Property: as long as you pay your taxes, just fine with us...
Freedom of Speech: fine, but we have our own idea of what constitutes it; there are things a true Marian will never say or have said in his presence;
Freedom of Association: fine
Gun Ownership: a Marian and his gun is one inseparable entity; Weapons are the very symbol of our citizenry, freedom and power;
Abortion: illegal except in cases of rape and serious health hazards, compulsory in cases of hereditary defects and diseases
Gay Marriage: only an outsider could think up something this disgusting...
Alcohol: fine in moderate use
Tobacco: fine but discouraged
Drugs: absolutely illegal; drug users and dealers are universally punished by death;
Cannabis: available as a prescription drug only, chemically altered to exclude recreational use;
"Soft Drugs": some are included in army combat stimulants, which are not considered narcotic, but are nonetheless heavily regulated;
"Hard Drugs": illegal, possession, distribution and use punishable by death

Censorship: technically legal, but not actively used - a true Marian will know the right ways from outsider filth and corruption
Prostitution: a legitimate profession, but carries a social taboo
Slavery: non-existent; it is illegal to enslave Marian citizens, but outsiders are not subject to the same protection; however, no Marian would consider taking anything as pathetic as an outsider slave;
Age Of Consent: 16
Freedom of Religion/Conscience:
only for creeds and ideologies that don't conflict with our traditional ways, and that narrows it down quite a bit


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

Section 4: Society

Politicians: neutral; with the ultimate power in hands of the Emperor, they don't really have that much say to earn a negative reputation;
Musicians: neutral
Art: neutral
Military: Hell yeah! Our entire adult population has at some point in their lives served in the army
Religion: neutral; Marians aren't very religious these days, but respect the traditional religions of our region as part of our history and culture
Freedom: our citizens cherish their freedom, but their understanding of the word is somewhat different than what most outsiders would think;
The Clergy: neutral; viewed as somewhat akin to practitioners of folklore
Your Leader: The Emperor is the best! Long live the Emperor!
Entertainment: depends on your definition of entertainment; Marians love quality music and films, love outdoor activities, good food and to have a decent drink from time to time; and likewise they hate these shallow and lame outsider TV reality shows and the abhorrent noise some consider "popular music";
Happiness: depends on the definition; for a true Marian, happiness means to be a productive and respectable citizen of his glorious nation, to fulfill his duty as a citizen
Love: not that important; duty comes first, though it's great if there's still room left for love;
Government: generally positive; they do their job, and for now our citizens can't generally complain they'd do it poorly
Environmentalism: positive
Animal Liberation: only an outsider can think up something this stupid; animals are non-sentient beings and therefore cannot understand their "rights" to exercise them; we are, however, strongly against animal abuse - non-sapient creatures are unworthy of our wrath anyway
Industrialism: positive - it keeps our nation going, after all;
Work Ethic: It is said that Devil makes work for idle hands... Industrious people are upheld as examples to others, while the lazy are looked down upon and ridiculed
Oil/Natural Gas: neutral; we work to replace their use with more sustainable resources
Green Energy: positive; otherwise, ain't much use of all the saved money if you have choked to death on your own pollution, right?
Freedom of Press: as said before, there just are things that no true Marian will write or read
Freedom of Assembly: yes, but there are people with whom no true Marian will associate or wish to be associated with
Freedom to own Guns: obviously, yes; If you think stealing a cub from a mother bear is dangerous, try parting a Marian from his guns...
Freedom of Religion: only of religions historically found in our lands; we want none of outsider idolatry here;
Universal Human Rights: outsider nonsense; Marians cherish their rights and freedoms, but in their own way; We don't believe in the concept of inherent rights - something given for free has no value, so a right must be earned, in this case by not breaking the law; Break the law, lose the rights - that's all there is to it here;
Feminism: outsider nonsense; Ever since some of our fine women got this bullcrap in their heads, the sales of wife-beating sticks have skyrocketed. Since we don't approve of domestic abuse, we have to fight the source of the problem
Homosexuality: vile and disgusting, not to mention unproductive; The outsiders may ream all the ass they want, but we will keep this depraved filth out of our society. And no, our men don't fap to lesbian porn either.
The Elderly: Venerated and respected, as is proper and fitting;
Social Support/Welfare: negative; it is the duty of family to provide for the old and infirm, so state welfare is reserved only to those with no relatives to provide for them;
Illegal Immigration: illegal immigrants are shot on sight as outsider spies, and the bleeding-heart hippie liberals can can go screw a goat if they have a problem with that
War of Intervention:
we aren't much into outsider quarrels - let them kill each other to their heart's content, as long as our commerce doesn't suffer; mess with our economy, however, and we might just consider sending a few Panzer-divisions to remind why it's not wise to trifle with our special interests.


How does your nation view Strebedia?
Somewhat coolly - Left-leaning College State sounds very much like an outsider way of saying "Liberal Commie Scum"
Would you consider an alliance with Strebedia?
Probably not, unless things improve with the way your people think
Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia?
Yes. Pecunia non olet, as one wise king of old put it.

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.

Wow, that may be the shortest response I've ever seen. It's a good thing most of us filled the majority of these out from the questionare by The Merchant Republics.
Communalist, Social Ecologist, Bioregionalist,
Sex-Positive Feminist, Queer, Trans-woman, Polyamorous

This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

If we've been friendly in the past and you want to keep in touch, shoot me a telegram

General Information
Nation Title: Kingdom of Beringovia
Form of Government: Constituional Monarchy
National Leader(s): His Royal Highness Tsar Nickolai; Prime Minister Olga Andropova
Political Orientation: Centrist
Economic Orientation: Free market

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: Since the end of World War II the nations government has been founded on democratic principles, and the large majority of people look favorably on democracy.

Representative Democracy: Beringovia is a representative democracy.

Direct Democracy: Sometimes employed at the local level. Not considered practical beyond that.

Monarchy: Beringovia is a Monarchy.

Absolute: Not looked favorably upon
Constitutional: We are one. The Tsars powers are severly circumscribed, though he is not a mere figurehead.

Oligarchy: Not looked favorably upon.
Republicanism: Although a Monarchy, Beringovia respects the traditions of countries which have a republican heritage. Though the monarchy is popular, a minority of Berinovians favor the establishment of a republic.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Fascism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Anarchism: Looked upon very unfavorably, except by some rebellious adolescents.

Anarcho-Capitalism: The "Anarcho" part at least is looked upon unfavorably.
Anarcho-Mutualism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Anarcho-Communism: All forms of communism looked upon very unfavorably, since Beringovia was founded as a refuge for opponents of the Bolseviks.

Socialist Vanguard State: Looked upon very unfavorably. Our nation was founded by people excaping from one of these.
Theocracy: Generaly looked upon unfavorably. Though the Orthodox Church is the official religion of the Royal court, the rest of the state is run on basically secular terms.
Secularism: Generaly looked upon favorably, as long as it isn't perceived as hostle to religion.
Authoritarianism: Looked upon unfavorably.
Libertarianism: Looked upon favorably by a certain segment of the population, though a majority would say that libertarians put too much emphasis on limited government.
Conservatism: American-style conservatism (i.e. social conservatism combined with economic liberalism) is generaly looked upon favorably.
Progressivism: Considered a respectable political position, but not one held by the majority.
Militarism: Most Beringovian's are against militarism in principle, but recognize that a strong military is necessary in the world we live in.
Pacifism: Generally perceived as a noble but unrealistic position. There is a strong pacifist strain among certain religious minorities, and these are generally tolerated.
Nationalism: Perceived positively to the extent that it is not disrepectful of other nations. Beringovians also respect the right of citizens of other countiries to be proud of their nations.
Internationalism: Depending upon how it is defined it can be perceived positively, as with nations cooperating to meet common problems, or negatively, as a threat to national soverignty.
Individualism: Generally perceived positively. Beringovians tend to perceive themselves as very individualistic, though this has to be balanced against the common good.
Collectivism: See above. Forced collectivism, at least, is perceived negatively.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: Perceived positively, if only because it is perceived as the opposite of communism.
Communism: Anti-communism is deeply rooted in Beringovia's national identity because it was founded as a refuge for White Russians and other anti-bolsheviks following the Russian revolution. However, since the end of the cold war it has become fashionable to keep a few communists around as a source of amusement.
Socialism: Generally viewed negatively
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Free market economics are generally viewed positively, but most Berinogians recognize that some degree of government involvement in the economy is necessary.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Generally viewed negatively as "socialism lite," but not as negatively as full-blown socialism.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Generally viewed very negatively.
Gift Economics: Generally viewed as not a realistic basis for an economic system
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Some indiginous peoples practice traditional lifestyles, and their right to do so is generally respected.
Agrarianism: For the most part, the geography of Beringovia is not well suited to widespread agriculture. However, there is a strong agricultural sector, centered on family farms in the south-central region of the country.
Corporatism: Viewed positively, is long as it isn't perceived as a threat to personal freedom.
Welfarism: Beringovians consider themselves rugged individualists and generally take a dim view of public welfare, though most recognize that some sort of social saftey net is necessary.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Generally viewed negatively due to the infiltration of communists into trade unions early in Beringovia's history
Globalization: Generally viewed very positively.
Free Trade: Viewed positively. Beringovias economy relies heavily on the export of commodities, and we want to maintain markets to sell our products.
Fair Trade: Most Beringovians agree with fair trade in principle, in spite of the fact that its strongest supporters as are perceived as overly idealistic long-haired hippies.
Protectionism: Viewed negatively. Beringovia has relatively few domestic manufacuring industries to protect anyway.
Feudalism: Viewed as a historical anachronism by those who bother to think of it at all
Environmentalism: Most Beringovians believe that we must strike a balance between protection of the natural environment, and exploitation of our enormous natural resources for economic development. Just where that balance should be struck is currently a defining feature of Beringovian politics.
Consumerism: Most Beringovian's don't want to see themselves as crash consumerists, though to many outsiders that is what they are.
Racism: Currently viewed very negatively, though there is an unfortunate history of mistreatment of the countries indiginous population, and even now there are occasional allegations of discrimination.
Multiculturalism: Generally viewed positively. During the last couple of decades most Beringovians have embraced the idea that multiculturalism is a defining national characteristic.


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: protected under the law
Freedom of Speech: guaranteed by the constitution
Freedom of Association: guaranteed by the constitution
Gun Ownership: guaranteed by the constition "for normal sporting and self defense purposes." Possession by minors and convicted criminals is restricted.
Abortion: Technically illegal except in case of rape, incest or "medical necessessity." In practice the "medical necessity" exception is very broadly defined, and doctors are virtually never prosecuted for illegally certifying an abortion as "medically necessary."
Gay Marriage: Not legally recognized.
Alcohol: Drinking age is 18. Must be 21 to buy hard liquor for off-premisis consumption. Hard liquor is taxed and regulated much more severly then beer or wine. Local communities may ban the sale or even possession of alcohol within their borders. Virtually all communities which have done so have a predominantly indiginous population.
Tobacco: Legal for those 18 or over but officially discouraged. Not commonly used except by foreigners.
Drugs: Except for alcohol, tobacco and caffene recreational drugs are generally illegal.

Cannabis: Illegal
"Soft Drugs": Illegal
"Hard Drugs": Illegal

Censorship: The constitution prohibits government censorship except "to protect the moral welfare of minors." Thus criticism of the government is allowed, but depictions of sex and violence in the media is restricted.
Prostitution: Illegal. A recent change in public policy is to treat prostitutes as victims rather than criminals.
Slavery: Has never existed in Beringovia since it was founded as a nation, though historically native peoples were sometimes treated as slaves during the colonial period. The government is currently cracking down on all forms of human trafficking.
Age Of Consent: 16. Persons may not be prosecuted for statutory rape of an underage person if they come within the "close-in-age" exception. The close-in-age exception is 60 months if the underaged person is 14 or 15 years olds, 48 months if 12 or 13 years old, or 36 months for if under the age of 12. If the older party does not come within the close-in-age exception he can be charged with statory rape even if he is himself below the age of consent. Thus, a 15-year old can be charged with the statory rape of an 11-year old.
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: Guaranteed by the Constituion. The only exception is that the Tsar, and any person in line to suceed to the throne, must be a member of the Orthodox Church.

[--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Industrialism: Necessary for an advanced society.

The Elderly: Very highly respected
Social Support/Welfare: The welfare state is generally viewed negatively, though most Beringovians recognize that some sort of social safety net is necessary.
Illegal Immigration: Illegal anything is viewed negatively, though legal immigrants are viewed positively. We don't currently have much immigration though.
War of Intervention: Only justified in extreme cases, and then as a last resort.


How does your nation view Strebedia? We seem to have some things in common, though we are not as socially liberal as you. More worrysome, though, is your semfi-official endorsement of atheism.

Would you consider a trade agreement Strebedia? Yes
