Residential Output

This is the output of the residents within your nation, and covers topics like individual recycling, how efficient are they with lighting and do they buy disposable or reusable products in stores.

What is the population of your nation? Current in-game figures state that there are 1.9 billion Crucilandians. As of MT we were only 5 million. As of PMT we were 1 billion. As of FT we are 2 billion. (FT time is current RP date) As of PFT we are 10 billion.
Where do most people live in your nation? (Skyscrapers, hi-rises and etc) Super-tall, compact megacities.
Where do most people put their trash? (Compost, recycling, garbage bags and etc) They burn it for energy, or recycle it to cut down on harvesting more resources.
Do most people use disposable or long-lasting products? A lot of items used are made to last to the end of time. We love durability and hate it when our products decay.
How many cars per person; what is the most common fuel source for a car? For every person, there are about 2 cars. These cars run on nuclear, antimatter, or perpetual motion; depending on the tech level.
What type of lighting does an average person use; and how long a day do they use it for? [color=#0000FF]Most people use bright lights that expel high concentrations of electromagnetic radiation for us to absorb. In the canopy-level of our cities, they run about 8 hours a day. In the branches, 12 hours. In the lower branches and below, 24 hours.[/color]
What is most commonly used to heat a home? Normally nuclear power or whatever trash we decide to burn.
How efficient (energy-conserving) are your people with everyday tasks; what are some things your people do that is efficient? We have to consume a lot of energy, so thus we produce a lot as well. We do our ebst to cut corners and be as energy-efficient as possible like vehicle-drifting and turning off unused electronics, but some things cannot be helped.
Do your people emphasize needs or wants more? In a 1st-world nation, our needs are easily met; wants are our main focus.
How much water do your people use on an average day? On Nationstates, a Crucilandians' body corrodes on contact, so thus we do not use much water. Outside Nationstates and other forums where we do not need any handicaps, water is used freely and excessively; there is so much of it.
Do your people actively help environmental causes like planting forests? We have giant indoor terrariums for naturalists to enjoy, so progress can keep expanding without the environment to get in the way.

Government/Corporate Output

This is the output directly or indirectly caused by the government and corporations. It covers direct carbon topics like power, carbon offsets, banning diesel vehicles and indirect ones like fuel taxes, carbon credits and making corporations liable for their outputs economically.

Largest producer of energy? (Solar, Coal and etc) As of MT/PMT, nuclear. As of FT, antimatter. As of PFT, perpetual motion.
Does your nation utilize carbon capture and storing or direct air capture? The buildings are designed to absorb it. From there, we convert it to a form we need.
Does your government encourage carpooling, bicycling or public transit? We have more efficient ways of traveling that can also keep our streets free of traffic jams, like 3D highways. Public transportation is thus completely redundant and unnecessary.
How strictly does your government regulate industrial pollution/waste? None whatsoever. There is no point in stopping progress.
How does your government dispose of it's waste/garbage? It burns it, for the most part, into energy.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent? No, not really.
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use? As of MT, air travel is quite common. As of all the other tech levels, air travel is a transportation staple. They use the fuel sources mentioned above.
Does your government utilize carbon credits; do they apply to corporations? No.
Does your nation use ocean fertilization, bio-charcoal or enhanced weathering to mitigate carbon? We use bio-petroleum so we never run out...
Internationally, how active is your nation in environmental talks? Never participates.
Has your government made reforestation or afforestation attempts? No, unless if you mean like building terrariums.
How safely is hazardous material disposed of? We chemically destroy them so they do not pose a threat.
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? 1-2. The amount of chemical cleaners effectively eliminates pollution, in case if we need pure water for something.
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them. No.
How much mining is done by your nation? Quite a lot, seeing how many metals our nation needs.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste? It hardly ever has to.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%); how much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%); how much for industrial use(%)? Commercial is 30%. Urban/residential is 30%. Industrial is 40%.

How does your government dispose of it's waste/garbage? It is collected and sailed far away from the Empire borders; to either sea or to distant island (which are technically part of the empire). It is dumped there.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent? Not unless scientific advisers to government state that it has potential for future development (due to medicinal purposes or near extinct animals, plants etc)
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use? It is highly common and accepted as normal means of transport.
Does your government utilize carbon credits; do they apply to corporations? No. There is no carbon limit on corporation: provided it is pumped to local collection centre; from where it is pumped to sea outside Empire's territorial waters.
Does your nation use ocean fertilization, bio-charcoal or enhanced weathering to mitigate carbon? No.
Internationally, how active is your nation in environmental talks? It is not a participant in any environment talks.
Has your government made reforestation or afforestation attempts? No.
How safely is hazardous material disposed of? Depends on your definition of safety. Like with other wastes; it is collected and dumped in far off island: when pile gets too high - usually it falls into the ocean due to gravity.
On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? 1
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them. No
How much mining is done by your nation? Heavy mining is done in colonies; which are away from the mainland of the empire. Within main territories of empire: mining is not carried out.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste? As stated above, as long as all of it is brought to local collection centre (government pays them for pipe line etc): we dont care. If company is found to not be following the law and sending at least 99% of waste to collection centre; responsible personnels within company are charged with attempted murder.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%) 25%
How much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%) 46%
How much for industrial use(%)10%

Do your people actively help environmental causes like planting forests? We are a city state; the main environmental activity is looking after national parks and public green spaces.

Government/Corporate Output

This is the output directly or indirectly caused by the government and corporations. It covers direct carbon topics like power, carbon offsets, banning diesel vehicles and indirect ones like fuel taxes, carbon credits and making corporations liable for their outputs economically.

Largest producer of energy? (Solar, Coal and etc) Nuclear power (around three-quarters)
Does your nation utilize carbon capture and storing or direct air capture? The technology is currently impractical, so no.
Does your government encourage carpooling, bicycling or public transit? Mass transit is subsidised and owning a car is relatively highly taxed.
How strictly does your government regulate industrial pollution/waste? Corporations are required to process any toxic or harmful waste they produce above certain limits, and factories must adhere to pollution standards.
How does your government dispose of its waste/garbage? Predominantly recycling, landfill and export.
Does your government preserve forests; If so, what percent? Phing Phong is mostly urbanised, and all remaining forests within National Park areas are preserved. This equates to around 10% of total area.
How frequently is air travel used; what fuel do most of your planes use? Only to travel abroad, most people fly less than once a year, but more than once every four years. Planes run on kerosene.

On a scale of 1-10 (1 is least polluted, 10 is toxic,) how polluted are your nation's water supplies? 3
Have any fuel taxes or similar laws been enacted; if so, state all of them. Petrol and diesel are taxed at a variable rate. Cars must meet emissions standards, and mass transit is subsidised.
How much mining is done by your nation? No mining, though we use offshore oil rigs and gas wells.
How strictly does your government regulate corporate pollution/waste? Quite strictly.
How much land is devoted to commercial use (%); how much land is devoted to urban/residential use (%); how much for industrial use(%)? We do not make use of national zoning, so are unable to provide these figures.

Note

There are no questions on eating habits and diet, which have a major impact on emissions. We request that Phing Phong's compulsory vegetarianism, and consequent reduced emissions compared with an equivalent non-vegetarian country, is taken into account. This policy is for religious reasons, however, and was not adopted as an environmental measure - it predates environmentalism as a modern movement.
