Postby Merni » Wed Feb 08, 2017 4:33 am

Demographics:
Common Name of Nation: Merni
Full Name of Nation: The Democracy of Merni
Type of Government: direct democracy with executive branch and deliberative assembly. Description in spoiler below
The Central Government
The head of state and government is the Emperor, who is elected by the people for life upon the death, abdication or removal of the previous emperor. The Emperor appoints the members of the Council for Chancelleries, which appoints Chancellors of State (heads for particular departments of the Central Government), who last for six years. The main powers of the Emperor with regard to the Central Government are:
1. To dissolve the National Assembly (below) and call for fresh elections for members.
2. To issue an Imperial Order, which is functionally the same as an act of law. These must be based on petitions. (also below)
3. To repeal acts passed by the National Assembly.

The National Assembly (NA) is the deliberative body of the nation. It has 320 members. 160 of these members are elected by the 16 Provincial Assemblies and 160 by the people. The members serve six-year terms. The NA's function is to debate issues raised in petitions, and if a petition is approved by the NA it goes to popular vote as detailed below. Political parties do not exist in the nation, but unofficial factions do.

The lawmaking process is as follows:
1. A petition is drafted for some change in law. The petitioner gets at least 1,000 signatures for the petition and submits it to the Petition Office.
2. The Petition Office reviews the petitions and sends the ones that are fit for consideration (feasible, well-written and clear) to the NA, without looking at the political issues.
3. The NA then debates and votes on the petition. If a majority votes for it, it is sent to vote.
4. Eight days in a year are set apart for voting and declared public holidays (four for NA petitions, four for provincial ones). All the approved petitions are set before the people and voted upon. The petitions which get a majority 'yes' vote become law.

Note:
A Petition to dissolve NA must be approved by the Emperor and all the Provincial Governors, but not the NA.
Provincial Government
The Provincial Government is headed by a Governor elected by the people for six years. The governor has the same powers as the emperor over the province.

Provincial assemblies are elected by the people. The number of members is proportional to population. They have the same powers as the NA, but for province only.

In the judiciaries, the Chief Justice and Provincial Chief Justices are popularly elected and the rest appointed by him.

Anything else you would like to add: No.

Civil Liberties:
Does your nation grant its people the right to own guns?: Firearms are outlawed.
Does your nation have freedom of religion?: No.
Does your nation have freedom from religion?: Yes.
Does your nation grant its people the right to a fair trial?: No.
Does your nation have the right to privacy?: Rights are not a concept by Ephyral culture, but the government allows privacy regardless.
Does your nation have the right to unemployment?: There are unemployed people, they have no right to it as no one has a right to anything.
Is adultery a crime in your nation?: Yes.
Is fornication a crime in your nation?: No.
Does your nation recognise LGBTQ rights?: No.
Are abortions allowed? Under circumstances, yes.
Is Polygamy allowed?: Yes.
Is incest Legal?: As part of a bid for genetic purity, breeding between siblings and cousins are permitted. All other incestuous relationships are banned.
Is Bestiality Legal?: No.
Is Birth Control Legal?: Yes.
Is cannibalism allowed?: It is not disallowed. The nobility are known to consume human blood on occasion, though the practise of devouring other humans has not existed for several centuries due to increases in prion diseases. The medical sector is currently researching such diseases to denote whether specific humans are consumable.
Is public nudity allowed? Yes.
Is slavery Legal?: Over 50% of all who live in Ephyra are enslaved to an individual, a corporation or the empire itself.
Is the Internet, Newspapers, or other media sources censored?: Yes.
Is pornography legal?: Yes.
Is prostitution legal?: Yes. There are two recognised forms; voluntary prostitution is the standard type where mainly women (though some men also) engage in sexual acts in return for money. These prostitutes are either 'freelance', working in a brothel or a pleasure house. Involuntary prostitution is the sexual exploitation of predominantly female slaves that are usually owned by brothels or pleasure houses, with the money earned going to the establishment rather than the worker.
Is Racial and/or Religious discrimination legal?" The empire holds a fanatical devotion to a pantheon of bloodthirsty and enraged gods (stemming from religious beliefs of the war these gods fight against the other gods of the world), thus worshippers of other deities are wise to stay out of Empyral reach. The Inquisition launches hunts to capture suspected heretics, placing them on trial and determining their guilt. If guilty, they are sacrificed to the gods by burning. Atheists are not targeted for cultural reasons. Blood and racial purity is also a predominant concept in the empire, with the purest Ephyral ranking highest in society. Therefore it is not just legal but acceptable and even commonplace to look down upon those who are deemed 'impure'. With that in mind however, those that may be deemed 'impure' stay away from Ephyra, whilst those living there likely have low living standards or are enslaved.
Are Arranged Marriages Legal?: Yes. These take place primarily between noble families who want to pair two pure individuals together.
Are public sexual displays allowed? Yes. The empire treats sex to be as common an activity as having a drink, and whether or not someone is seen doing either is of no consequence.
Is Marijuana Legal? If medical, yes.
Are LSD and other soft drugs legal? No.
Are Krokodil and other hard drugs legal? No.
Does your nation practice...
Capital Punishment: Yes.
Eugenics: Yes.
Genocide: Not currently, though it has done in the past and has never declared a cease of it.
Torture: Knowledge that Ephyra uses torture is widespread.
"Mysterious Disappearances": Yes.
Any of the things Conspiracy theorists accuse governments of doing: Thus far the Empyral government has been accused of; communicating with aliens, experimenting on aliens, trying to unlock immortality for the social elite, mind-control, creating and weaponising new diseases and much more. The Empyral government neither denies nor confirms these theories, as commenting is seen to legitimise the inquiry.

Status of Copyright law: An individual has copyright over the material they create.

Age of...
Consent: Fourteen for males, first menstruation for females.
Majority: Same as above.
Right to Vote: N/A
Right to Drive: Sixteen.
Right to Marriage Same as consent and majority.

Anything else you would like to add:Regarding what the empire practises, human experimentation is often performed when researching medicinal cures and treatments, but also when studying the effects of diseases, biological weaponry and chemical weaponry. Experiments are typically performed on criminals.

From 1 to 10, how much land is protected as a natural reserve or state park?: 1.
