What is the role/status of women in your nation?
The third Decree set down by the Huskari Central Soviet* as part of the new law system after its establishment, all female members of society were granted allowance to participate in any area of work including the military.In this Decree was also the law that all women are to be treated as equals alongside men with the same rights, qualification acceptance and opinions on various matters. Women are also allowed to take active positions in the regional and central governing bodies of the country, the Soviets.

What is socially/legally acceptable in your nation?
As long as it doesnt infringe on someones personal privacy, health and wellbeing and is categorised as safe it may be conducted.

Also what is your societies view on pre-marital sex?
Pre Marital sex is not frowned upon in this society. Both men and women can participate in it the same as they would in a marital life.

Gender roles have always been of little importance in the Wolohannic Free Territories. It is the responsibility of every individual to provide for their family and in turn their Clan.

For the most part, the sexes are equal in Englar, with several exceptions:

Women are not allowed to rule Englar. A queen can only rule temporarily, until a prince comes of age, or if there is no legal heir, until a king can be appointed by the High Council.

Though there are many women in the military, they aren't allowed in front-line combat.

Though women are allowed in police or fire-fighting, they are a minority, simply because much fewer women can pass the physical requirements for those jobs.

Kawaiian society is very sex-segregated, with separate spheres of "women's work" and "men's work". That said, Kawaiian women are fully equal to men in the eyes of the law. We have a ritual, known as "Men's Time" and "Women's Time", where husbands and wives trade responsibilities for being the "leader of the household" for the various religious duties expected of the Kawaiian family. (The ritual is scheduled by the movements of the planet Venus. Venus recently transitioned from being the Evening Star to being the Morning Star, which marked the beginning of "Men's Time". "Women's Time" will begin again when Venus transitions back to being the Evening Star, around next March.)

As for pre-marital sex, it is taboo among Kawaiians. Cohabitation and anything that suggests it are illegal, as is having children out of wedlock.

Postby Nortoapoco » Sat Aug 11, 2012 4:02 pm

In Nortoapoco, we believe in natural, divinely-ordained gender roles. That means that women in Nortoapoco stop working after they get married. Their job is to keep the household clean and to serve their husband's needs. The average Nortoapocan woman has more than 10 children in her lifetime, as birth control is unheard of in our nation and Nortoapocans are taught to be fruitful and multiply. In the home, the husband is the head of household and has the final say on everything. It is illegal for a man to "hit" his wife excessive (meaning permanent damage) or when he knows or should know that he doesn't have cause to do so. It is illegal for a wife to refuse to fulfill her husband's carnal needs and a man may compel his wife to do her duty with force if necessary.

Women are unable to attain skilled employment, which is exclusive to men. Girls usually start working part-time in their early adolescent years (like boys), although some children start working earlier (if that is the wish of their parents). Parents have control over the earnings of minors (around 95% of Nortoapocan women marry before reaching the age of majority for unmarried persons, which is 25).

Only 1 person may vote per household. To be eligible, voters must pass a citizenship test and be over the age of 25. The Head of Household is the first choice to exercise this right, although a woman may vote if she is eligible to vote and no man in the household is eligible to vote (or if no man in the household is able to make it to the polls). Around 7% of the votes in Nortoapocan elections are cast by women. Women can theoretically be elected to political office, but it is unthinkable for a woman to run for office, much less be elected. The vast majority of Nortoapocans, including most of our women, would never vote for a female politician.

Cross-dressing is illegal in Nortoapoco. This includes both men wearing women's clothing and women wearing men's clothing. This law also applies to hairstyles.

Basically, Nortoapoco wholly rejects the "women's rights" movement that has poisoned many foreign (leftist) nations. When we experienced individual suffrage protests like those other nations experienced, we suppressed the protests and put the women back in their place and that effectively ended that wicked movement in our nation.

It should come as no surprise that pre-marital adultery is illegal in our nation. Men have the right to annul any marriage to a woman who is found to be impure. Those found guilty of pre-marital adultery are given an STD test and anybody they intend to marry in the future is informed of their infidelity. Anybody found to have an STD is barred from marrying. We also STD test rape victims and inform any potential husbands of their status as a rape victim. False accusers are considered to have admitted to pre-marital adultery, even if they are found to be a virgin and they are convicted under the pre-marital adultery statute (judges in Nortoapoco can sentence somebody to just about anything other than death for any crime other than murder, so judges usually impose the same sentence they would have given to the accused if he was guilty). Men falsely accused of rape are advised to deny engaging in any acts with that woman, as admitting that is an admission of pre-marital adultery (or if he's married, regular adultery). Women who have kids out of wedlock are considered convicted of premarital adultery once confirmed to be pregnant, spend their whole pregnancy in the hospital and the kid is put up for adoption upon birth (then the unwed mother serves out her sentence). The only way out is for the father of the kid to come forward and agree to marry her, which is done retroactively so that the child is officially conceived and born in wedlock.

They share equal status with the men in their class.

What is socially/legally acceptable in your nation.
A woman may do anything that a man of her class can do. Sex equality was achieved in o9ur society even before the foundation of our House.

Also what is your societies view on pre-marital sex?
Not an issue - although children produced by such actions are considered a taboo and usually aborted.

Women,men,and the intersexed are all equal, gender roles do not exist here. One may do whatever they want to gain pleasure as long as it doesn't harm others without their consent or infringe on their liberties. The concept of marriage doesn't exist here.

Most native Voerdish tribes relied on subsistence farming. In these cultures, women owned the land and the livestock and picked their husbands (sole exception being artisans, who were greatly respected and could choose virtually any woman). In few communities polyandry was allowed.

National government is dominated by men, but one cannot say that it's a result of some kind of a patriarchy. This situation rather reflects the old saying that "men think and talk, women act". While males actually make up the majority of members of the National Assembly and the Cabinet, the situation on lower tiers of the government or in broadly interpreted business activities is much different. Only 26% of national legislators are women, but the rate rises to 44% in regional assemblies, 51% in city councils and 68% in rural district councils (in one district, only one out of 17 councillors is a man). Financial sector of the economy is feminised almost as much as it is masculinised in many other countries.

Currently, our law is gender blind and an increasing number of people (especially in urban areas) considers gender roles an outdated concept.

Though women have equal rights in Hippostania, gender roles still exist and are very much respected. Women do usually work, but there are also housewives who don't. Nevertheless, it is believed that a woman shouldn't be allowed to be the high chancellor, prime minister of minister of foreign affairs, as these duties require extreme strength, bravery and capability to handle stress and to intimidate others, something which most Hippostanians believe that a woman can't do. Still, almost 30% of the MP's are women.

What is the role/status of women in your nation?

The same as the men; they enjoy the same equality and are allowed to choose their own careers and their role in the nation is towards the state and fellow Europeans. How they serve the nation is up to them, some women choose to be mothers and housewives for the nation (some men choose to be fathers and househusbands also), some choose the military, some choose retail, some even choose politics (I say "even" because it is really difficult to get involved in NSOE politics for either sex), etc.

What is socially/legally acceptable in your nation?

What is acceptable? What does this mean? I'll include the "Pre-Marital Sex" in this question as otherwise I don't understand the question:


It is normal for women to have pre-marital sex and it is rare that a woman is still a virgin when she marries. It is acceptable for women to be nude in public and female prostitution (authorised by the state e.g. brothels, and taxed) is acceptable.

Women traditionally occupy defensive roles in our nation, being generally the last line of defense against attack. They therefore tend to be found in jobs that keep them closer to to home: Machinegunners, radar operators, scientists, civil engineers, factory workers, and the like.

The Allied States of North America wrote:What is socially/legally acceptable in your nation.

Socially and legally, it is acceptable for the female to kill and eat her sexual opponent.
