Postby Beringovia » Sun Dec 18, 2011 10:44 pm

Beringovia has a generally positive opinion towars Kynlin, though we are not quite as libertarian in are politics.


Nation name: Empire of Beringovia
Parties in you nation and their views (in order of size):
Liberal Democratic Party: Centrist, pro business, somewhat left of center on social issues
Motherland Party- Center right
Social Democratic Party: Left of center, moderately socialst
Christian democratic party: Emphasizes social issues, in which it it is right of center, but tends to be somewhat left of center on economic issues
Green Party: Leftist with an environmentalist emphasis
Social Justice Party: Broke away from the Christian demcrats due do disagreements on social issues. Left wing on religious grounds

Government type: constitutional monarch/parliamentary democracy

National Religion: The Beringovian Orthodox Church is the established church of the Imperial Court, but the rest of the state operates on a basically secular basis. Orthodox Christianity is the religion of a majority of the population, though there is a significant protestant minority

Opinion on...
Socialism:
generally unpopular, though a minority are moderate socialists
Communism: Beringvoia broke away form Russia as a result of the Bolsevik revolution, so we are very strongly anti-communist.
Liberalism: good, as long as it is balanced by a sense of personal and social responsibility
Conservatism: depends upon how it is defined. Beringovians tend to be conservative on social issues, and to favor free trade, free enterprise and limited government, so they tend to be very close to American conservatives in their outlook.
Capitalism: Very positive
Monarchy: We are one, though the Tsarista has only a ceremonial role
Authoritarianism: Negative
Anarchy: Absolutely incompatable with any sort of civilized society
Theocracy: Generally viewed negatively, though our system still retains some theocratic vestages
Imperialism: Negative. We call ourselves an empire, but don't really practice imperialism
Democracy: Positive

Gay Marriage: Not legally recognized
Abortion: Legal only in cases of rape, incest, or "medical necessity."
Capital Punishment: We don't have it, but don't look down upon nations which do apply to for truly heinous crimes
Martial Law: Appropriate only in extreme cases
Freedom of Religion: Considered a fundamental human right
Homosexual couple adopting: Legal, though this is not the preferred arrangement
Environmentalism: A balance needs to be struck between economic development and protecting the natural environment
Global Warming: A real phinominon, though there is a great deal of uncertainty about how serious it is and what is causing it, despite the scientific dogmatism which surrounds it. Needs further study
Protectionism in trade: Since commodity exports make up a large proportion of our economy, we are against protectionism
Illegal Immigration: Illegal (duh)
Racism: Wrong, and not socially acceptable
Sexism: Generally wrong and not socially acceptable, though there are some instances where it is justifiable to treat the sexes differently
Healthcare: Universal access to healthcare is considered a lauditory goal, but not a right
Social Security: Provided, but not as generous as more socialized countries
Welfare: A social safety net is necessary, but generally people should be encouraged to help themselves whenever possible
Firearm/weapons: Legal, subject to some restrictions. An important part of Beringovian culture
Drug use: Most recreational drugs, except alcohol, nicotine and caffine, are Illegal
Alcohol: Legal drinking age is 19, though it is not generally not enforced for drinking in a family setting. An huge part of the culture of the majority Slavic population, though the indiginous population tends to view it negatively, and some native villages enforce prohibition at the local level.
Tobacco: Legal but officially discouraged and heavily taxed and regulated.
Age of Consent: 17, subject to a close-in-age exception
Prostitution: Illegal

Religion in general: Practiced by a majority of the population
Atheism: Tolerated, though militant or snarky atheists tend to be disliked
Agnosticism: Tolerated
Hinduism: Neutral
Christianity: Considered an important part of Beringovias Culture (especially Eastern Orthodoxy, though there is a significant protestant minority)
Buddhism: Neutral
Judaism: Neutral. There is some history of anti-semitism, though that is no longer considered socially acceptable
Islam: There is some anti-Islamic sentiment, though for the most part moderate Islam is tolerated.
Paganism: Generally tolerated, though there is a somewhat widespread perception that equates it to "Devil worship."

Ponyism (Just throwing that out there ): Not widely known or practiced in Beringovia. Would most likely be tolerated as peaceful

We approve of the above nation of Zottistan for the most part, but we dislike your neutrality of religion. But we can accept that you are not actively endorsing it. No realy complaints though.

Nation name: The Exalted Monarchy of Episarta
Parties in you nation and their views: No parties. It is an absolute monarchy. Any political rabble rousers will be dealt with
Government type: Absolute Monarchy
National Religion: No religion (atheism)

Opinion on...
Socialism: Can be good if used correctly and doesn't get out of hand.
Communism: A failure and not realistically attainable.
Liberalism: Social liberalism is the logical way of viewing things. Economic liberalism is a bit trickier.
Conservatism: Social conservatism is barbaric and illogical. No reason to restric people in such a way. Economic conservatism is tricky, just like economic liberalism.
Capitalism: Can work in cases. But the corporations and businesses need people keeping them in check, lest they take over the country and destroy the environment.
Monarchy: Supportive.
Authoritarianism: Support. Do not let the uneducated masses into the political system, but do not completely control their everyday lives.
Anarchy: A failure that leads to nothing but chaos.
Theocracy: Absolutely disgusting. No group of people should be controlled by the religious (and illogical) mindset of a few.
Imperialism: Supportive of.
Democracy: Despised. The masses can't be trusted with the power to choose the leader. And it may turn into a tyranny by the majority.

Gay Marriage: Supportive in all cases.
Abortion: Supportive. State enforced abortion of those screened to have severe physical and mental defects so as to not allow them to waste time, resources, and corrupt the gene pool.
Capital Punishment: Supportive in certain situations. Extreme political dissent, terrorism, certain forms of murder or rape cases, traitors, and some others.
Martial Law: Depends on the situation
Freedom of Religion: All religion is suppressed and the religious are deported, executed, or moved to ghettos and sterilized. Those that do have children have their children taken from them.
Homosexual couple adopting: Support
Environmentalism: Support as much as reasnably possible
Global Warming: Our ban on most automobiles is us trying to help the environment and slow down the effects of global warming.
Protectionism in trade: Depends.
Illegal Immigration: All illegal immigrants are detained and deported or executed. Some may be allowed to stay, depending on their background
Racism: The Episartan Race is the purest of all races. All others are lesser than our own. But, we do not actively support the genocide or discrimination of other races. Most are passively accepted. The majority of the country (a good 97%) are Episartan in race.
Sexism: Against
Healthcare: A national system as long as those that recieve it work, go to school, or have some excuse for not doing either. Laziness is no excuse, illness and disabilities (war injuries, falls, etc.) are.
Social Security: Supportive
Welfare: Supportive for those who can't help themselves. (look at healthcare)
Free Speech: Most speech is allowed. Religious speech, unless it is of the allowed few religions, is not tolerated. And even if it is of the allowed religions, it is scorned and should be kept to certain areas. Speech against the government is not liked and is looked down upon. But it is mostly allowed in harmless circumstances. But the person may be watched. No preeching hate speech against minorities...usually.
Firearm/weapons: People are allowed to have weapons but they have thorough background checks performed and must go to classes to learn proper use.
Drug use: Allowed but people are mandatorially educated on the possible and likely negative effects of the drug. Also heavely taxed and regulated.
Alcohol: Same as drug
Tobacco: Same as drug
Age of Consent: 14 with leniancy
Prostitution: Allowed, regulated, taxed. Made a business with mandatory disease tests.

Religion in general: Despised.
Atheism: Approved (extreme anti-theism)
Agnosticism: Allowed but ignored
Hinduism: Allowed in minimal numbers, but is heavely watched. Kept to certain ares, nicer than the ghettos though.
Christianity: Persecuted and deported, segregated into ghettos, or executed
Buddhism: Allowed, moreso than hinduism, but treated rather similarly
Judaism: Same as Christians
Islam: Same as Christians
Paganism: Depends.

Ponyism (Just throwing that out there ): Tolerated and somewhat enjoyed for the sparkly colours.
Extra topics/opinions?: Meh, people are left to their own devices is everyday life, except for religion and certain other things. But for the most part the government lets you do as you please.
Economic Left/Right: -7.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -3.79
By the pricking of our thumbs, something wicked this way comes.

Seems like a pretty reasonable nation for a human one. Certainly more sensible than many others, at least. While we do not agree with everything the AN believes in or practices, it sure beats the ideas and practices of many others that are silly and/or downright self-destructive.


Nation name: Imperium of Sidhae
Parties in you nation and their views: none; A state should be run by it's citizenry as whole rather than small special interest groups that political parties are. Furthermore, different political parties serve to divide society according to interest groups they represent. Hence, there are none in the Imperium, and their creation is explicitly banned under the Statutes.
Government type: elective monarchy/stratocracy
National Religion: n/a; In principle, the Sidh lifestyle and philosophy known simply as the Way could be considered a national religion, though Sidhae themselves explicitly reject the label of "religion" to their ways.

[b]Opinion on...[/b]
Socialism: Favourable; it is seen as the state's duty to provide for the basic needs and necessities of it's citizens (in return for their unquestioning obedience)
Communism: Negative; it's been tried, and it has always devolved into little more than a tyranny by the basest
Liberalism: Very negative; excessive permissiveness and tolerance is a plague upon Mankind, one that the first Sidhae devoted themselves to combat
Conservatism: Strongly favourable; by strict adherence to their traditions and way of life, Sidhae retain national and ideological unity that would be absent in liberal societies
Capitalism: Very negative; capitalist societies are by definition exploitative, serving to enrich the few at the expense of many, and are also by definition unsustainable, relying on perpetual increase of consumption to sustain themselves, inevitably falling whenever the cycle of consumption can no longer sustain itself. Capitalism was another thing that very nearly destroyed Mankind back in the days of old Terra, and is hence explicitly rejected by Sidh society.
Monarchy: Positive. Imperium is a monarchy, after all, and most Sidhae find it preferable to have a single ruler trained in statecraft from early age over a bunch of upstart "representatives" likely to be more inclined to enrich themselves at state's expense than to actually care about the people.
Authoritarianism: Very positive. Being a highly-militaristic society that was founded mainly by soldiers, Sidhae have historically had a strong culture of discipline, hierarchy, conformity and obedience to authority (and most wouldn't have it any other way). Sidhae regard their leaders much the same way as soldiers regard their commanders (and most Sidh leaders are indeed military commanders, or have been such at some point) - to be obeyed without question. Traditional democracy is difficult to grasp for a Sidh, who is simply unable to understand why one would want weeks and months of heated debates over trivial issues that can be resolved straight away by carrying out a single order given by an authority figure.
Anarchy: Very negative. Anarchy runs contrary to everything the Imperium and the Sidh ways stand for. It embodies chaos, lawlesness and absence of state, as opposed to Sidh beliefs in strict order and state authority.
Theocracy: Negative. In Sidh eyes, a state ought to be run with pragmatic ideas rather than false superstitions in mind. Which is somewhat ironic, considering how the lot of them venerate the Imperium's founder, the first Emperor, as a demi-god.
Imperialism: Positive. Sidhae are pragmatic people and recognize the fact that peaceful coexistence with other powers is only possible for so long in a world of finite resources, and hence have no qualms about aggressively securing those resources for themselves in order to ensure that their nation outlasts it's competitors.
Democracy: Neutral. Contrary to popular opinion, Sidhae do not oppose democracy, and in fact have quite a few democratic processes included in their government system, including the election of monarch (for life, obviously). Rather, they reject forms of representative democracy that allow political parties, lobbying by interest groups, and parliamentary rule.

Gay Marriage: Irrelevant. Marriage of any kind is a concept alien to Sidh society, no longer having any practical purposes to serve, and hence not being practiced for many centuries. Gay marriage in particular is merely something that humans do as far as Sidhae are concerned.
Abortion: Irrelevant. With Sidhae being cyborgs, who are manufactured (grown, to be technically correct) rather than born, and unable to conceive children on their own, abortion is a non-issue to them. As far as termination of faulty incomplete Sidhae goes, the closest equivalent to abortion in Sidh society, it is deemed not just acceptable but necessary.
Capital Punishment: Sidh authorities generally prefer more... imaginative punishments though, ones where death is often coincidental, but not necessarily inherent to the punishment. Outright execution is usually reserved for cases where more creative punishments are impractical or pose a security risk.
Martial Law: Considered the normal state of things on recently occupied or otherwise troublesome worlds. Humans tend to make a fuss about it, but certainly not Sidhae - if the local authorities have decided it is necessary, then it is necessary, period.
Freedom of Religion: There is only one philosophy/faith in the Imperium, and that is Sidh. Anything else is a false superstition with no place in Sidh society. Even if the religions themselves might not necessarily incite people to do anything wrong, the mere fact that they are not Sidh makes them a source of division and hence unwelcome in Sidh society.
Homosexual couple adopting: Irrelevant. With new Sidhae being grown to adult size in factory-like progenitories by a state eugenics program, adoption is a non-issue. Like marriage, adoption is exclusively a human thing, and equally alien to Sidhae.
Environmentalism: Positive. Sustainable economy is one of the cornerstones of the Sidh lifestyle, seeking to prevent environmental degradation of their worlds being enshrined in Imperial laws. Sidhae often like to contrast their own clean and pristine homeworlds to the toxic industrial wastelands populated by the majority of Mankind, citing them as an example of what unrestricted consumerism and capitalism, and liberal tolerance for both leads to.
Global Warming: Neutral. The Imperium has so many worlds that a trend of global warming on some doesn't elicit any opinions from the public. Where this warming is problematic, it can usually be overcome with geoengineering technologies, and if it can't, the residents can just resettle to another Imperial world.
Protectionism in trade: Positive. The economic interests of one's nation should always come first.
Illegal Immigration: Rabidly hostile. While few outsiders are desperate or deluded enough to even consider the Imperium as their end destination for illegal migration, these migrants are most likely going to be blasted out of the sky with extreme prejudice as enemy infiltrators upon detection by the nearest Navy patrol. In the unlikely event that these migrants would manage to make planetfall, they'd most probably be destined to a miserable life of squalor in a filthy crime-ridden human ghetto anyway.
Racism: Sidhae are about as xenophobic as they ever come, detesting humans and aliens with a passion, and this attitude is reflected in their laws as well. Non-Sidhae are not subject to the protection of Imperial laws (though neither are they expected to follow them), and basically exist at the mercy of the local authorities, the quality of their life depending solely on how much the said authorities are willing to tolerate their presence.
Sexism: Non-existent in the Sidh society, as far as Sidhae themselves are concerned. Perhaps outsiders might find otherwise, but Sidhae wouldn't be Sidhae if they cared in the least what outsiders think of them.
Healthcare: Universal, free and state-of the art, available to all citizens (i.e., Sidhae). Such a model is also a practical necessity in a society where genetic enhancement and cyber-augmentation is universal, requiring constant maintenance and tweaking.
Social Security: A Sidh who obeys the law and does his job without question and to the best of his efforts is guaranteed a shelter, a job, free education and healthcare, rations of basic commodities and three free meals a day. And an opportunity to keep what remains of his earnings after the costs of all the said have been deduced. Which means there are, nor ever will be, poor or destitute Sidhae with sub-standard living conditions.
Welfare: Negative. The state provides it's citizens with basic subsistence and an opportunity to advance in rank and standing in exchange for their unconditional obedience, but no more than that. Generous government handouts only breed lazy, complacent, entitled parasites, the very thing that Sidh society originally strived to avoid. The state's job is to ensure everyone starts on equal footing, their success or failure depending solely on themselves afterwards.
Free Speech: Depends on what you define as free speech. A Sidh is in fact free to voice constructive criticism of the authorities, and such feedback is indeed welcome. However, there is a line between constructive criticism and seditious and unpatriotic talk sowing discord and discontent in society. The authorities will not hesitate to step in and take necessary measures when that line is crossed.
Firearm/weapons: Every Sidh is required by law to have at least basic military skills and be able to defend himself in armed combat, so you won't find a single Sidh who wouldn't know how to use a firearm or some other weapon with reasonable proficiency. Most, however, do not own personal weapons out of a simple lack of necessity, the heavy presence of the authorities ensuring that crime is a rarity in most locales.
Drug use: Extremely negative. Not only is drug-induced reckless and foolish behaviour undignified and unbecoming of a proper Sidh, it is also poisoning one's body which represents a sizable investment by the state (i.e., other taxpayers) and putting otherwise avoidable strain on the national healthcare system. While some Sidhae do on occasion indulge in such un-Sidh behaviour, it is far from common, and the offenders do their utmost to keep discreet about their partaking in such forbidden pleasures.
Alcohol: Mildly negative. Alcohol use in moderation is accepted, but drunkenness and it's consequences are frowned upon. A proper Sidh is expected to exercise temperance in all things.
Tobacco: Negative. While alcohol at least has some nutritional value, smoking provides no benefits whatsoever and hence is regarded as unbecoming of a proper Sidh. That being said, Sidhae away from the prying eyes of general public still do smoke occasionally, soldiers who spend much of their time fighting on alien worlds being particularly prone to picking up bad habits from the natives.
Age of Consent: Irrelevant. Sidhae are grown to adult size, awakening as complete and capable adults of a biological age of 20.
Prostitution: A Sidh may use the services of prostitutes, but is forbidden to partake in prostitution or directly profit from it under penalty of losing one's Sidh status. Prostituting one's body is regarded as degrading and shameful, and unbecoming of a Sidh.

Religion in general: Regarded as obsolete superstition, even though Sidh own veneration of the Emperor has taken on many aspects of organized religion in an ironic twist. Traditional religions are deemed to be fit only for slaves who lack the courage and initiative to make their own heaven and prefer to passively obey commandments of their masters in hopes of a reward after death.
Atheism: While Sidhae do not explicitly deny the possibility of the existence of God or gods, neither do they care much about it.
Agnosticism: The closest to the Sidh majority's opinion towards religion. Most find it preferable to worship a mortal man, the Emperor, who has done more real, tangible things for his followers in the span of two centuries, than some supposedly-omnipotent deity that hasn't done anything for Mankind during it's entire history.
Hinduism: A bunch of crazy human cow-worshippers with strange superstitions and even stranger many-handed idols.
Christianity: A cult of masochists praying to an undead corpse-god to forgive their imaginary sins in hopes of attaining a place in an imaginary heaven.
Buddhism: Generally the most agreeable of human religions, more of a philosophy, but too pacifist for Sidh tastes. And most importantly, it is not Sidh.
Judaism: A cult of bearded men with strange locks and funny hats, full of silly superstitions and ludicrous restrictions.
Islam: A cult of desert-dwelling goat-humping misogynist fanatics with a death-wish who seem to be obsessed with the notion of martyrdom.
Paganism: A diverse set of ancient and not-so-ancient superstitions. Most of them silly, but at least not as boring and repressive as those of the major religions.

Ponyism (Just throwing that out there :D ): What in Emperor's name is "ponyism"? Sounds like some perverse sexual fetish...
Extra topics/opinions?:

Sidhae pride themselves on being products of science and deliberate engineering rather than natural randomness, derisively referring to unaugmented naturally born humans as "cunt-borns".

Humans and aliens are despised not so much out of inherent bigotry as for historical reasons and ongoing enmities.

While Sidhae do not generally care about an individual's sexual preferences and personal life, a Sidh is expected to remain discreet about them. It is, for example, poor form to openly introduce one's intimate partner as such, there being more subtle ways of hinting it. Discretion is likewise expected in other personal interactions. Gossiping is strongly frowned upon, to the point of it being impolite to speak of the personal affairs of someone not present. The idea is that it is improper to discuss another person's private affairs in his absence without him being able to dispel potential falsehoods and rumors, or demand vindiction should someone make disrespectful comments.

Duelling is allowed in the Imperium, and it is a citizen's legal right to defend one's honour in single combat according to a codified set of rules and regulations. It is seen as a proper and honourable way to resolve personal disputes without burdening the court system, and a good way to settle grudges in a controlled manner.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.
