Gazilland's location at the southeastern tip of Africa makes it have a majority 80% black and 23% Malay population. All are considered African when born on Gazillandi soil except for newer immigrants.

Immigrants from other African countries, regardless of white or black ethnicity are required to serve a 10 year term in the Gazillandi Army to be treated as a citizen.

Though there are only small numbers of them, blacks are proportianally more likely to be indentured, enslaved or at least work at menail labor for less than minimum wages in the Tiuraboan Dominion. This is as opposed to the mainly, (60%) white and partially, (25%) latino population. However, as may have been seen above, blacks are not soley allowed or generally forced into such positions, and other ethnic groups are not protected by any laws, only social stigmas.

Bovids have never been particularly strong mathematicians, given that the vast majority of them don't even know how to count, and so the census data from Gazilland only served to further confuse the issue. Many rumination circles convened through the hot sun and into the cool evenings debating whether or not a nation's ethnic populations could add up to 103%, with some arguing that, once you got over 100%, you reached a gazillion. Since gazillion sounds a lot like Gazilland, most accepted this explanation as logical.

Did you mean anyone from "Africa" or a specific group of "Africans" (white, asian, black?) All applicants to reside or live in Biotopia face the same process without initial discrimination.

Though they're a rather small minority since New Olwe (and Olwe before that) was never involved in the slave trade and therefore they were never shipped over in large numbers, the Africans who do live here enjoy the same rights as anybody else. You hardly ever see them because there are so few of them, but the ones who are here are fairly happy.
Magic-using nation here! I don't RP in MT.
I seem to have forgotten to post the part where my ambassador informs New Olwe's representative that we will help. I'll do that later, I hope. - Fortareata

What are Africans? we have Cruonians, Ming, Ohyayians, Kai. It sounds like Atlanteans a made up civilization from some fantasy novel just like those made up Americans or Brazilians.

There were 3,500 blacks at the last census (pop. 425 million) so they don't really get noticed, but government policy is to treat them as any other Kinitarian citizen.

Attitudes toward Africans in the Principality of Saxemberg are complex and influenced by questions of culture and religion as well as race.

Legally and officially, all Saxembergers are equal. Saxembergers are strong believers in meritocracy and "careers open to talent." As a consequence, any kind of discrimination on the basis of birth is illegal. The government does not even collect information on the race and ethnicity of the Prince's subjects.

Unofficially, there is a certain amount of prejudice against Africans--but this is directed mostly against "foreign" blacks, who are seen as followers of Abrahamic religions and worshippers of "the Other God."

Members of the small Afro-Saxemberg community, by contrast, who speak Saxembergish and practice Saxembergish Voodoo, are accepted as equals by the principality's majority European population.

Augarians are typically Caucasian. Until 2035, non-Augarians of every ethnicity (even non-Augarian Caucasians) were regularly killed, along with Jews, Catholics, Christians, and Muslims, in calculated genocide. Religious killings ended in 2013.

Capitalism is always the answer. Whenever there's a problem in capitalism, you just need some more capitalism. If the solution isn't capitalism, then it's not really a problem. If your capitalism gets damaged, you just need to throw some capitalism on it and get on with your life.

OOC: Wrong! This conclusion is based on posts that clearly state users' real-life views, mostly from the General forum or Forum 7 (yes, it's actually rather easy to find out people's real views in Forum 7).

P.S.: Let's try not to get this thread locked now.

There are no Africans in the Kiravian Empire, aside from the natives of one of our colonies, who are mostly left alone on reservations or given third-class citisenship.

Everyone in the Energy Empire of Africa (commonly Deaverland) are African (whether native African or descended from European colonists) save the Emperor himself and a few foreign technicians.
That being said, most Africans do not treat each other particularly well, nor does the term "African" (to mean native person of Africa) have any meaning outside Africa. In general, the loyalty of the government and the armed forces is to the country, and the loyalty of the peasants is to their particular tribe. Genocide among tribes is fairly common (cf. Rwanda) save where this activity is stamped out by the state or the UN. The Emperor of Energy (Derek I Deaver) has gone to great lengths to stamp out intertribal warfare, as well as the reburgeoning slave trade (centered in South Sudan) which had begun to operate within the borders of the states which became incorporated in Deaverland. To limit violence, no citizen is allowed to serve in the army, which is made up of robots (Unmanned Combat Ground Vehicles). Any problems you may have with a member of another tibe should be taken up with the Intertribal Harmony Council, a subdivision of the Human Resources Department.

African-Southern Yugoslavs are treated like any other race, and thanks to the Anti-Racism Act of 1993, racism has been eliminated from Southern Yugoslavia.

Excerpt from Anti-Racism Act of 1993:
Anyone seen or heard promoting racism against any race, nation, or region, must be reported to authorities at once. Convicted racists will recieve 10-30 years, or executed...

Law-abiding Africans do not get special treatment or lesser treatment than any other human being. Africans in prison have less rights than law abiding Africans, but the imprisoned Africans have the same rights as other prisoners.

We have equal treatment, but not special treatment. We have a black members in our Senate.
