National Standards Questionaire

[Gynocracy]

National Standards - a list of questions about certain Standards & Legalities for your nation- far more defining than the three NS standards:

The Queendom of Gynocracy

1 - What is the legal drinking age?

For Females, there is no minimum age at which they may be permitted to consume alcohol.

For males, the minimum legal drinking age is 40.

2 - Driving age?

The minimum age at which Females are permitted to drive is set at 12.

The minimum age at which males are permitted to drive is set at 25.

3 - Age of sexual consent?

We interpret 'consent' in our own unique way in Gynocracy.

A Female, being a member of the Superior Sex, does not 'consent' to sexual activity; She instructs a male that She wishes to engage in sex.

A male is not permitted to initiate sexual overtures as that would be a violation of the laws against sexual harassment for which the punishment would of course be death.

In terms of the minimum age at which a Female may initiate sexual approaches to a male, the law (which is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court following an appeal case filed by an 11-year old girl) currently permits it to commence at the age of 12.

4 - Voting age?

Females are permitted to vote from the age of 12 in local and national elections.

They are also permitted to vote in some minor civic areas from the age of 8.

By contrast, males are not permitted to vote at any age.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? -

The legal age of majority for Females is set at 12 (though this is being reviewed by the Legislative Commission).

A male, by contrast, NEVER attains the age of majority or the status of adulthood.

2 - Driving age?

Traditionally 16.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)?
16, surprisingly.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal?
There are no drug laws in any chidarian society. It is rather social norms than laws that restrict drug use to holidays and clan events.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called?
“Thahaj Vhutarmĭzû Chidarethû” (can be translated as “the common jurisdiction of the Chidarian union”) or just “Chidarun”. Chidarians are called... ehm... Chidarians. In our language “chidar” is a chidarian woman or man, “chidareth” is the name of the chidarian people.

9 - Do you have the death penalty?
No.

10 - What is the speed limit?
Never heard of.

11 - What types of religions are permitted or restricted?
Since Chidarun is ethnically very homogenuous, people mostly follow one of the many traditions of the majaram (“Spirituality, Philosophy”), a very old system that arised from an archaic sun cult. The Majaram is not a prosyletizing system, though. Chidarians usually do not really care about a foreigner’s religion. So there are no restrictions.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - legal

13-Prostitution – legal

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory – not illegal, but unknown.

15-Homosexuality – allowed, widely respected, but also discriminated in some regions and under some Majaram-Traditions

16-Stem cell research - legal.

27-What system do you have for taxes?
Depends on the regions. Mostly there is a flat tax and a small income tax. Small sales taxes exist, too.

28-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen?
Speaking the chidarian language properly and having lived in Chidarian lands for 5 years at least.

29-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country?
There are no specific laws who may visit Chidarun and who may not.

30-What type of government are you?
Chidarun is a Federal Republic holding subsidiarity very dear.

31-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media?
Not at all.

32-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? For example –
...do not refuse an invitation if you don’t have a really good excuse. This is perceived as very offensive.
...be generous. If you have, you give. If you don’t have, don’t take over the top, but don’t feel bad taking.
...pregnant women in the 6th month or at the latest in the 8th month are kind of sacrosanct. They must not work, enjoy helpful treatment wherever they go. Chidarians would never sit if this means a pregnant woman has to stand or let her wait in a line, just to mention two examples from alldays life what Chidarians feel obliged to do. The “Holiness” of pregnancy is deeply embedded in the Majaram and thus part of a Chidarians way of thinking and feeling.
...Chidarians love specific music events called Churu, where people sit down on carpets and pillows and drink tea and gath (a heavy drink) around a round stage, listening to the hours-long chants of traditional singers called Vharaja. Inviting your heart throb to a Churu is considerd to be quite intimate and meaning it seriously. Chidarians use to pop the question on Churus.

4 - [b]Voting age? 16 for Party members. 18 for non-Party citizens. All candidates are Party members, so it doesn't matter much, anyway.

5 - [b]At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? 18, though exemptions are granted for those who have completed their service with the Communist Youth League.

6 - [b]What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? none, though in many cases, trusted Party members can get off with the proverbial slap on the wrist because of their known loyalty and quality.

[b]-Pot - banned and punishable by 5 years of imprisonment at hard labor...Party members are often given special treatment, of course. Connections improve one's chances in general.

- Tobacco - legal only when sold by heavily taxed, state-run "vice" stores. Tobacco racketeering and illegal use are punishable by 5 years of hard labor.

- Cocaine - completely banned and punishable by 10 years of imprisonment at hard labor. Considered especially taboo, even for Party members, because of its traditional association with the upper class/former elite.

-Alcohol - legal to use, especially for Party members; drunk driving, however, is a capital offense. Moderately taxed.

- Caffeine - perfectly legal as a "productive" drug, though only available in state-sanctioned/run cafes. Moderately taxed.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - only state-approved, censored smut sold at "vice" stores is legal; depictions of pedophilia, rape, BDSM, bestiality, cross-dressing, incest, and male homosexuality are banned, but the black market often gets around the law when it has the protection of certain Party members.

13-Prostitution - legal in special districts through state-sanctioned "waivers" and "contracts", but the Party whitewashes the practice through euphemisms and placing approved brothels in out-of-the-way sectors that the state-controlled media and press don't inquire about. Black market prostitution is also common, but equally discreet. The Party is embarrassed more by the commercial aspects of prostitution than by any supposed moral taboos.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - the marital form is illegal, but many men have mistresses, especially top Party officials. The practice is winked at by the state, of course.

18-Cock Fighting? formally banned, though there are rumors of secret cock-fighting clubs winked at by the authorities.

[Macureus]

[quote="Tanaara";p="1582"]National Standards - a list of questions about certain Standards & Legalities for your nation- far more defining than the three NS standards:

4 - Voting age? none, since there are no elections

What are people of your nation called: Macureans.

9 - [b]Do you have the death penalty? Yes

10 - What is the speed limit? differs, depending on the traffic zones, though Macureans are very fond of mass transit and use it whenever possible anyway

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? religion is legal, but unofficially shunned as being irrational. The vast majority of Macureans are militant atheists and proud of it...the State likes it that way.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - images of pedophillia & rape are illegal...and that's it. Everything else is perfectly legal.

13-Prostitution - Heavily regulated and lightly taxed. Private brothels must meet basic standards and their owners pass psychological exams to gain and keep licenses.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - open marriage is far more common than either monogamy or polygamy, since Macureans prefer marriages of convenience and regularly engage in casual, promiscuous sex, regardless of marital status.

15-Homosexuality - perfectly legal, as Macureans have no qualms about it.

16-Stem cell research - normal and respected scientific research is always acceptable and legal.

17-Human Cloning - Regulated, oversighted and clones have full legal rights, not often done.

20-Hunting? when practical and there is no shortage of game

21-Fishing - when practical and there is no shortage of marine life

25-Suicide? - when necessary and practical, it is acceptable...when a sign of mental illness, it must be stopped to allow time for recovery and/or treatment

27-Abortion - banned except when truly necessary to save the mother, such as ectopic pregnancy.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ? rape, pedophilia, bestiality, and necrophilia (the latter two more on sanitary grounds than any moral qualms).

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? very much optional, except that in the harsh Macurean winter, it is deemed irrational to go nude.

30-Do you have obscenity laws? no obscenity laws, since obscenity is not a concept which concerns or troubles Macureans.

31-[b]What system do you have for taxes?
- Income tax? income taxes fluctuate as necessary for government revenue

32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? besides being born into Macurean society, anyone who expresses an interest, is willing to obey our laws, and passes the necessary psychological evaluations is a candidate for immigration and naturalization...provided that they don't pose a security risk in some way. Their visas and work permits depend on their specialties and skills.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? those who do not present a security risk to us. Impractical concern with "rights" are seen as unreasonable.

34-What type of government are you? philosopher-scientist-technocratic oligarchy

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? When it is deemed a security risk of more harm than any damage caused by censorship. When it is logical or reasonable to do so.

36-[b]Aside from laws - Macureans are very focused on logic, reason, and science. Intellectual curiosity is deemed good. Religious piety is deemed bad. Psychological examinations are common and even de rigeur for promotion and hiring, especially in key positions. Prudery is viewed as a sentimental nonsense, but germophobia is the one fear that Macureans all embrace without question.

[New Olwe]

1 - What is the legal drinking age? 15. They're going to do it anyway, might as well make it legal. Besides, legal adulthood (age of sexual consent) is determined by biophysical development, so people start having sex before they start drinking.

2 - Driving age? 15, though cars are rather unpopular as a method of transport in most areas (people prefer horses or, in the case of magic-users, teleportation).

3 - Age of sexual consent? Varies wildly between 11 and 16, depending on how quickly the person in question achieves the biophysical markers of sexual maturity. Once a person reaches an animal state of adulthood, they are also recognized as being legal adults.

4 - Voting age? Anyone who has been declared a legal adult can vote (see age of sexual consent). We do not impose arbitrary numerical limits unless it is absolutely necessary.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? - Depends on species, and on how quickly individuals of that species develop. Humans have achieved this at as young as 10.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? - Any that are not smoked. Smoking in any form is illegal, as it pollutes the air and contributes to the degradation of the environment.

-Pot - Legal only in non-smoked form (pot brownies, etc.)

- Tobacco - Chewing tobacco is legal but extremely unpopular... smoking tobacco is illegal.

- Cocaine - Snorting and shooting are legal, smoking isn't.

-Alcohol - Legal, though if you drive drunk you are indentured to the automobile manufacturing industry for use as a crash test dummy

- LSD - Legal, quite popular

- Caffeine - Legal, but restricted in areas with dense Elf/Sidhe populations since it is toxic to them

- Heroin - Legal, but not very popular due to its side effects

- Other? - Ecstasy is the drug of choice in New Olwe. Several other drugs are legal as well. Crack and meth are illegal, since you have to smoke them.

7 - Can people have guns? Not unless they've been in the military... if you serve your country you get to keep your gear, as well as whatever you take off of the bodies of your enemies. But ordinary citizens have to make do with swords, knives and axes, which are all readily available to them.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called? Formal: The Grand Duchy of New Olwe// Informal: Olwe or New Olwe / Citizens: Olweans

9 - Do you have the death penalty? Yes

10 - What is the speed limit? There is none, although severe penalties exist for reckless driving (darting in and out of lanes, turning without a signal, texting/phoning while driving, etc.).

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? All are permitted, and the government is officially pantheistic.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - Not only legal, but one of our largest industries.

13-Prostitution - Our other major industry. We have a theme park modeled after Gomorrah.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - Far more common than monogamy- Polyamory makes up some 90% of all Unions in New Olwe

15-Homosexuality - Since about 70% of the population is bi, I'd say homosexuality is legal.

16-Stem cell research - Legal, but regulated to prevent Frankensteinesque mishaps.

17-Human Cloning - Technically legal, but never done. We aren't quite there yet technologically.

18-Cock Fighting? Falls under animal cruelty statutes, meaning that people who engage in it are fed to the animals they've been cruel to (in other words, illegal).

19-Slavery? - Illegal, even in the form of marriage... marriages have to be open in order to be officially recognized by our government, because monogamy entails the treatment of another human being as property.

20-Hunting? Done humanely and only for food. Heavily regulated.

21-Fishing - See above.

22-Eating meat? Legal, though about half of the population is vegetarian/vegan.

23-Littering? Considered high treason, carries the death penalty.

24-Unisex bathrooms? Is there another variety?

25-Suicide? - Legal, but doesn't happen very often. Euthanasia is far more common, and also legal.

26 - Gay marriage? - Legal, but most gays really don't see the point since the existing marriage laws encourage polyamory.

27-Abortion - Legal.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal? Rape, pedophilia.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? Optional.

30-Do you have obscenity laws? If so - how would you define "obscene". - No. Obscenity is an outdated Christian concept that has no place in the modern world.

31-What system do you have for taxes? No income tax on citizens, residents pay what they can afford (the wealthy are taxed higher), foreign nationals fall under their own country's tax code

31aSales tax? No sales tax on food or other necessities (since clothing is optional, it is not considered a necessity), flat 15% sales tax on everything else.

31bImport/Export tax? Varies on the product and where it is going to or coming from.

32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? Anyone born here is granted citizenship, anyone from another country must pass the citizenship exam.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? Any, but be warned that discrimination -- including attempts to proselytize our citizens -- is punishable by exile. If you won't tolerate us, we're not about to tolerate you.

34-What type of government are you? Liberal, semi-socialist autocracy

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? Censorship violates our constitution, is considered treason, and is punishable by death. Nobody, not even the national leader, may censor the media. That being said, freedom of the press has its limits and Princess Di-style harassment is punished very harshly.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? There are no civil courts in New Olwe... citizens settle their disputes honorably on the field of battle in moderated duels. It is not technically illegal to decline a challenge to a duel, but the stigma of cowardice will follow you for a long time if you do so. Also, it is the traditional method of greeting in New Olwe to passionately kiss strangers when meeting them for the first time. Kisses between relatives or other people who know each other well need not involve tongue, as they are just a formality... however, most people still use the French variety of kissing even for family members. Offering a handshake instead of a kiss is considered the height of rudeness and prudery, and shaking the label of "prude" is extremely difficult in New Olwe. Also, breast milk is sacred and people regularly drink it.

1 - What is the legal drinking age? There is no legal drinking age, however anyone found to be endangering a minor (minors become adults when emancipated by their guardians or at age 16, whichever is first) is open to legal/civil action from the guardians of the minor and this includes serving alcohol until the minor is drunk.

2 - Driving age? This varies from road/transport corporation to corporation. The three largest private road companies require all vehicle operators to be at least 14 years of age and pass a driving test administered by the Standards and Practices Corporation.

3 - Age of sexual consent? Classification as an adult or consent of the minor's legal guardians. This consent must be notarized prior to any sexual act to have any legal validity.

4 - Voting age? Classification as an an adult; anyone who is currently in prison or serving a work sentence forfeits his or her voting privileges until such sentence has been completed.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? A person of age 16 is considered an adult, however if both parents/guardians and child agree, the child may become emancipated at any age.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? All, however the use of recreational drugs is generally shunned by society and almost every employer refuses to hire those who cannot pass a drug test. Again, giving recreational drugs to a minor without the guardians' notarized consent is an act open to legal action.

7 - Can people have guns? Gun ownership is encouraged and widespread. While the nation has a small, elite defence force, the majority of the country's military is based on local militias. Lower ranking militamen/militiawomen practice shooting and warfare in their spare time, while higher ranking officials are often local celebrities, sponsored by their respective communities and often make a living testing and endorsing various weapons and weapon systems.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called? Formal: The Unified States of the Free Republic of Borinata. Informal: Borinata. Citizen name: Borinatans

9 - Do you have the death penalty? No.

Drivers are responsible for all damaged caused by the operation and failure of their motor vehicles.

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? All are permitted. The government does not tax any religious organization as this would give preferential treatment to atheist organizations.

12- Porn - Any image that reasonably shows an act of rape or non-consentual paedophilia constitutes legal proof of such an act and as such, images of this nature are not found in public.

13-Prostitution - Undoubtedly occurs, but the government has no position on the subject.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - The government does give any legal recognition to any union of two or more people. Marriages of all types occur but are either unregulated or governed by the religious body to which the members of the union belong. Any two (but only two) persons may be the legal guardians of a minor.

15-Homosexuality- Undoubtedly occurs, but the government has no position on the subject.

16-Stem cell research - In the Charter of the Unified States of the Free Republic of Borinata, Amendment 37, life is defined as biological matter with distinct genetic material. Since an embryo/foetus meets this burden, stem cell research utilizing fertilized embryos is prohibited as is the creation of thousands of such embryos with no intent of using them.

17-Human Cloning - Any person may consent to have his or her genetic material used to create a clone, however the clone is considered a person in his or her own right and not the property of any person, corporation, organization or government body.

18-Cock Fighting? Undoubtedly occurs, but the government has no position on the subject. Animals are always considered property and people are free to dispose of their property as they see fit.

19-Slavery? -Work sentencing is Borinata's term for what is essentially penal wage slavery. A similar form of servitude may be used to pay off debts, but must occur at the behest of the debtor.

20-Hunting? Hunting is very popular in Borinata. Entire corporations exist to maintain pristine environments for hunting. Unlike many other places, because wild animals on a corporate or private property are considered the property of the owner, fees for hunting a few endangered species are often utilized to preserve the species as a whole.

21-Fishing - Fishing is not a common pastime in Borinata due to its maritime past; recreational fishing is synonymous with recreational work. Fish make up an important part of the diet, however.

22-Eating meat? Extremely common. Meat is expensive due to the lack of agricultural space, however it is not prohibitively so.

23-Littering? Since all but a few buildings are private property, litterers are often charged exorbitant rates for "waste removal" from property owners. As such, littering is uncommon.

24-Unisex bathrooms ? Often occur, there is no government policy regarding their placement or use.

25-Suicide? - Very Rare - Euthanasia / Right to Death with Diginity - Illegal.

26 - Gay marriage? Undoubtedly occurs, as before, the government does not recognize any such union, regardless of the sex/orientation/number of members involved.

27-Abortion - Illegal.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ? Again, all non-consentual sex is illegal.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? Optional, however most road/sidewalk corporations will levy fines against the unclothed. There are private communities with their own nudist infrastructure where wearing clothing on others' private property is also "billable".

30-Do you have obscenity laws? No.

31-What system do you have for taxes? No income, property, corporate or sales tax. As there are only a few rather popular politicians, they spend much of their time raising money both for re-election and to enact/fund government programs.

31a) Sales tax? No.

31b) Import/Export tax? The Republic of Borinata will reciprocate import taxes if another nation imposes such taxes on businesses or products of Borinata; that said, no other such taxes exist.

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? None.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? General customs:

Public intercourse is uncommon, but persons who engage in it are often doused in water.

Most Borinatans own pets.

Persons who choose not to work are generally shunned and often starve to death.

That said, many people dedicate their lives to the care of the infirm and many religious or charitable orders compete to have the highest impact on those unable to care for themselves.
