In Luzyica, we never followed Sharia. Until 1982, in the North and 1934 in the South (note they split until 1997 due to differing ideologies), the Bible and until 1976, the Christianity Act, 1864 was our de-facto constitution, and it was pretty much like Sharia Law, with Spanish Inquistion-esque punishments including burning at the stake. Combine it with isolation and it is pretty much hard to get in.

Now, with the act repealed and an actual constitution, we are now secular.

Is Sharia law implemented in your nation?
No, it is not. The United States is a predominately Catholic nation founded on Catholic values; and while we tolerate religious freedom we will not live our lives based on such a debased religion.

If so, at what level is it implemented?

Amerikan Muslims follow Sharia law as much as they can, in accordance of parallel to the laws of the United States, but it is not enforced upon them and strictly traditional.

Not implemented. The official religion of The Gregorach is Eaglais na h-Alba, which is essentially Presbyterian. Other Trinitarian Christian groups are tolerated, but heretics and pagans are banned. Hence, the subject of sharia has never come up.

No, Shari'a is not implemented in Inutoland, and it's not likely to be any time soon. Almost all of our citizens, including many of our tiny minority of Muslims, would find many of Shari'a's provisions anathema.

We'd be more likely to become Nazis or Communists, to be honest.

No, we sort of blatantly oppress Muslims, and you think we'd follow their heathen laws? Who in the hell expects to call for the extermination of all those not of them and have their laws respected? That's madness.

Generally religious people are a minority in Jakaragua so no, they keep their belief to themselves as well.

Muslims are almost non-existent here.

Sharia law is neither banned, nor encouraged in Upchucabawa, but many people practice because of our high population of Muslim immigrants.

Sharia law in Nate Land is not implemented. But, as a catholic nation, they frown upon islam. The government also treats muslims with no respect and usually doesn't fix their needs. That's why many muslims live in shanty towns near the coast.

The constitution of Purpelia guarantees its citizens Freedom From Religion. As such, all religions are illegal and all religious laws are considered abominations upon the world. Anyone attempting to live by them is considered a subversive terrorist element bent on undermining and destroying the nation of Purpelia and dealt with as such.

This part of the constitution was among many that were included on demand by the Purpelian people when the document was first drafted by the venerable Arch Duke Felix, a forefather of the current Arch Duke.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.



The above post contains hyperbole, metaphoric language, embellishment and exaggeration. It may also include badly translated figures of speech and misused idioms. Analyze accordingly.

While respecting the Muslims that do live on/in Druidville, Sharia Laws have no legal standing at all. If there is a conflict, the laws of the Grand Druid are supreme. This renders Sharia Law the legal force of a quaint custom. The rights of all beings are important.

Well it ain't exactly banned, but what fun is a traveling caravan of music-playin', top hat-wearin', spirit-drinkin' undead if they can't play music, wear top hats or drink spirits? None, is the answer I'd relay.

ALL Religion except the Cult Mechanicus is banned from the Mechanicum, so no, we don't use those laws.
