Anything else you would like to add: Ziegenhain is a single-party fascist dictatorship where the ruling political elite rules with an iron fist through an impressive and incredibly totalitarian secret police and domestic intelligence system that roots out any dissent within party ranks and the general populace. The military is given extraordinary powers to act as a police force and detain anyone who is suspected of anti-ideological criminal activities, and the party paramilitary forces patrol clean and orderly streets through the use of fear and force. State surveillance is everywhere and propaganda loudspeakers, TVs, and radios are constantly played in the streets so that the message of the State can be heard everywhere. Nothing is sacred in Ziegenhain. What is made to be a wonderful paradise of order, honor, and nation is a brutal apocalyptic hellhole of racial supremacy, totalitarian militarism, and political repression.

by **Laudine** » Fri Jan 16, 2015 10:36 pm

Demographics:
Common Name of Nation: Laudine
Full Name of Nation: The Kingdom of Laudine
Type of Government: Crowned Republic (Constitutional Monarchy/Presidential Republic)
National Leader(s): President Willard Laurden, King Archibald
State Religion(s): The Church of Laudine (nominally - state is functionally secular)

Political Liberties:
Does your nation have a separate Legislative Branch?: Yes
Are members of said branch elected democratically?: Yes
Does your nation have a separate Executive Branch?: Yes
Are members of said branch elected democratically?: Yes (some may be appointed by the president or approved by the legislature, but both of these are democratically elected)
Does your nation have a separate Judicial Branch?: Yes
Are members of said branch elected or appointed?: Appointed nationally, elected locally
If appointed, by whom are they appointed?: Nominated by the President, confirmed by the legislature
Does your nation have fair, free, and open elections?: Yes
Does your nation allow all of its people to vote?: All citizens above the age of 17 who are not currently serving a felony sentence may vote.
Does your nation allow political harrassment, gerrymandering, or have non-secret ballots?: No - all illegal by constitutional provisions
How many major parties does your nation have?: 3 dominant coalitions, each containing its own dominant party, with many others represented
Does the government control any of these parties?: No
Does your nation grant its people freedom of speech?: Yes, Laudine has almost no restrictions on freedom of speech.
Does your nation grant its people freedom of thought?: Yes
Does your nation grant its people freedom of association?: Yes
Does your nation grant its people freedom of petition?: Yes
Does your nation grant its people freedom of assembly?: Yes
Does your nation have term limits on government positions?: Many (office of president; many local judiciary, mayor, and governor positions have term limits, but these are imposed by local constitutions)
Does your nation use Propaganda?: Ostensibly not - the state does not have a formal relationship with the media, but there are many social critics who believe that the media serves the interests of the state indirectly (in much the same way as media in all liberal democracies is posed to bias), that schools indoctrinate children, etc. The degree to which this is "propagandistic" is no different from that in other Western republics.
Are any political ideologies or parties outlawed?: No
Anything else you would like to add: N/A

Civil Liberties:
Does your nation grant its people the right to own guns?: Yes, though subject to restrictions (handguns must be registered, felons are not permitted to own handguns, civilians may not own automatic weapons, etc.)
Does your nation have freedom of religion?: Yes
Does your nation have freedom from religion?: Yes
Does your nation grant its people the right to a fair trial?: Yes - both foreigners and citizens are granted a right to a trial
Does your nation have the right to privacy?: No such right is legally enumerated, but Laudine law functionally respects this right.
Does your nation have the right to unemployment?: No
Is adultery a crime in your nation?: No
Is fornication a crime in your nation?: No
Does your nation recognize LGBTQ rights?: Yes
Are abortions allowed? Yes (subject to certain restrictions - generally only within the first trimester of a pregnancy)
Is Polygamy allowed?: Marriage is not a legal institution in Laudine - civil unions, however, are legally enshrined, but are limited to two persons. So polygamous arrangements are not recognized, and there are no polygamous civil unions.
Is incest Legal?: Yes - incestuous civil unions, however, are not.
Is Bestiality Legal?: No
Is Birth Control Legal?: Yes
Is cannibalism allowed?: No
Is public nudity allowed? Circumstantially (there are, for example, nude beaches that are publicly owned and designated as such; nudity is not permitted in public when not designated, however)
Is Slavery Legal?: No
Is the Internet, Newspapers, or other media sources censored?: No
Is pornography legal?: Yes
Is prostitution legal?: Prostitution may be legally practiced at a regulated and licensed brothel within designated districts of a city. Streetwalking or private contracting prostitution are not legal, nor is child prostitution, and prostitutes are required to undergo monthly medical examination.
Is Racial and/or Religious discrimination legal?: This is a broad term - there are laws against specific manifestations of such discrimination (in, for example, housing and hiring practices), but "discrimination" in the abstract isn't outlawed.
Are Arranged Marriages Legal?: Civil unions require the joint consent of both parties, who must be at least 18. Prior to the age of 18 - even with parental permission -, they may not enter a civil union.
Are public sexual displays allowed? This is another broad term - public sexual acts are not legal. What exactly constitutes a "sexual display" is up for debate, as this is not a term of art in Laudine's legal code. Artwork that is sexual in nature, for example, may be displayed publicly without restriction. Interpersonal sexual contact (even if not tantamount to sex itself) is not.
Is Marijuana Legal? Possession, transportation and consumption are legal and decriminalized. Production, sale, and distribution, however, are only decriminalized.
Are LSD and other soft drugs legal? No, but they are decriminalized in many counties.
Are Krokodil and other hard drugs legal? No.
Does your nation practice:
Capital Punishment: No
Eugenics: No
Genocide: No
Torture: No
"Mysterious Disappearences": No
Any of the things Conspiracy theorists accuse governments of doing: Yes - Laudine has an interventionist foreign policy that has led it to interfere covertly in other nation's domestic politics (though financing political parties and resistance groups, organizing and executing assassinations, etc.)

Status of Copyright law: In line with that of most Western nations.

Age of:
Consent: 16
Majority: 18
Right to Vote: 18
Right to Drive: 16
Right to Marriage: 18

Anything else you would like to add: Laudine operates based on civil law, not common law. Certain principles - like the "right to privacy" - may not be explicitly enumerated in the civil law, and the law does not operate on the basis of interpreting legal precedents, but these principles are a de facto result of the civil law nonetheless.

Economic Liberties:
(Disclaimer: if your nation is Communist, skip the next section. Your nation will be exempt. If your nation is Socialist, please answer all the questions.)
Does your nation make use of tariffs?: Yes
Does your nation make use of subsidies?: Yes
From 1 to 10, how much does your nation regulate its economic activity?: 3
Does your nation practice forced membership in Unions?: Not legally mandated, though oftentimes a contractual obligation of employers.
Does your nation actively support workplace democracy?: No
Is workplace democracy widely practiced?: No
From 1 to 10, how much does the working class control the means of production?: 2 (Laudine is a developed, capitalist market economy. Most capital is concentrated in the hands of a capital class, which is a broad segment of the population, but are not 'laborers')
Does your nation redistribute wealth through taxes?: Yes
Does your nation use tax income to create a "welfare net"?: Yes
From 1 to 10, how heavily do you tax corporations?: 3

Does your nation make use of Tax Shelters?: Yes - wealthy Laudines frequently move overseas to avoid the nation's relatively high personal income taxes.
Does your nation have a Progressive or Flat Tax?: Progressive
In 1-5 words, how would you describe your nations economic policy?: Ordoliberal, free-to-mixed market capitalism
Are roads privatized?: No (though there are private roads)
Is law Privatized?: No (though there is private law - contract law, etc.)
Is the government Privatized?: No
Is education Privatized?: No (though there are private schools)
Is Welfare and healthcare Privatized? No (though there is private charity and private healthcare)
Anything else you would like to add: In the above cases, the government provides essential services and subsidizes the private provision of these services. It should be noted that the fact that these services exist privately alongside the state does not mean that the industry "is privatized" - in the case of law, for instance, private dispute arbitration is common in settling property disputes, corporate disputes, divorce cases, etc., yet the state has a criminal justice system all the same.
