Are humans the majority species in your nation?
If you count out the various bacteria, Insects, and rodents that are within the nation; then yes.

How are humans treated in your nation? Do they serve in positions of power?
Humans are the dominant species when it comes to society. However, ponies and some anthromorphs are present in the nation. Humans have a total control over the government.

There are a lot of Humans, but not exactly a "majority" because my nation is set in a world where "fictional" creatures live beside us.

How are humans treated in your nation? Do they get to serve in positions of power? Do they get more rights than other species?
Every species is treated equally in Xironia and Humans aren't the only ones who can servein positions of power. Both Humans and "fictional" creatures get the same rights.

There will be war, there will be rebellion,
It's only part of the world we live in,
But we shall always fight for our rights,
and we shall always hold up our chins!
So we will fight for peace,
and all war, we shall cease!

No. In fact, we have enslaved all humans and put them to work in the military.

Very badly. We make them forge our weapons, work in labor camps, and fight for us.

Not even close. There are more bacteria on the head of a pin than there are humans in the world. However, humans are the only sapient species.

How are humans treated in your nation?
Pretty well, thank you. They get the usual seven meals a day.

Do they get to serve in positions of power?
There are no positions of "power". However, all government positions are held by humans, except for the Presidency which is currently held by a fish.

Do they get more rights than other species?
Only humans have rights. (It is debatable whether the current President has any rights. There have been claims that he has already been eatn and replaced several times.)

Are humans the majority species in your nation?
Humans comprise eighty percent of the population of the Usean Federation and are the majority. They are followed by the Draconis who comprise ten percent and the silicates who make up five percent of our population.

How are humans treated in your nation? Do they get to serve in positions of power? Do they get more rights than other species?
Humans bar groups from two Genevian countries are accorded every right enshrined within the Usean constitution as are all other species. As the majority species they serve in every branch of government and are the majority with the exception of the Imperial family.

Humans are the majority species in Olwe, but only by a slim margin (actually, Olwe technically has a nonhuman majority but there are so many different species involved that each one standing on its own doesn't have as big a population as Humans do).

Since discrimination is illegal, all species are treated equally. The Olwean Emperor is Human... his wife, who wields political power equal to his, is not.

No, in fact there are not a single human citizen or permanent resident in Neritucal. Officially at least, when it comes to the latter. The few humans who do appear in the Matriarchy are only there temporarily, working at embassies or the space port.

How are humans treated?
Well, they should be prepared for being stared out for being so strange and probably be insulted a lot for their inability to understand the language, not to mention being unused to the typically very loud climate of any room with more than two Colythwans in. But otherwise they'd be mostly left alone, we're not monsters who hunt sentient beings for sport.

We treat their bodies as a source of raw materials, much the way other nations treat forests or underground mineral deposits.

Are humans the majority species in your nation?: No.

How are humans treated in your nation?: They generally don't come. They can't exactly survive the conditions of our planets without copious amounts of aid.

Do they get to serve in positions of power? No. They don't. Not out of being barred, but more out of not being able to completely fulfill the criterias.

Do they get more rights than other species?: No. All species have equal rights.

Postby Imperium Sidhicum » Fri Oct 24, 2014 3:40 am

Although humans make up almost a quarter of the Imperium's population, they are also heavily discriminated against. The extent of discrimination varies between worlds - generally, the more developed a world is, the more humans are discriminated against there. Human settlement on the core worlds is forbidden altogether, save for human slaves accompanying their Sidh masters. On secondary and tertiary worlds, humans live in strict segregation from Sidhae that is strictly enforced. Anti-human laws and sentiments are generally the weakest on Frontier worlds, where humans and Sidhae often live and work side by side peacefully, at times even entering romantic relationships, something unthinkable on more civilized Imperial worlds. Asides from a lack of political rights (which Sidhae who haven't served in the military lack too), humans in Frontier colonies aren't generally discriminated otherwise.

On an average Imperial world, humans are forbidden from residing in the Sidh quarters of Imperium's cities, being relegated to overcrowded and unsanitary undercity slums, colloquially known as the human ghettos. Humans are forbidden from settling outside the ghetto or leaving it without special permit. Such permits are generally only issued to humans employed in the Sidh quarters (most often in some menial job involving dirty, dangerous and degrading manual labour), and even then the holders are restricted to areas specified in the permit. Being caught outside these areas without a valid permit by the authorities will more than likely result in a severe beating and revocation of one's permit - potentially disastrous for a slum-dweller with a family to feed, considering how a job in Sidh quarters is one of the few legitimate ways to earn a living in the ghetto. Slaves are exempt from this rule, living with their master in the Sidh quarters and being free to roam them on their master's errands.

The permit is a bright yellow card containing a picture and written and digital personal information about the holder. Some locales require the human holding one must wear it in a visible place on one's clothes at all times while on Sidh premises to prevent him from accidentally being mistaken for a Sidh, although this rule is not universal, given how humans already stand out among Sidhae, appearing scrawnier, more intimidated and poorly dressed compared to Sidh folk. A human slave can be recognized from wearing an often-ornate collar containing personal information of him and his master. A human caught on Sidh premises without a valid document identifying him either as a labourer or slave can be subject to summary termination as an enemy spy, although the authorities usually don't get as drastic and contend themselves with delivering a good beating to the offending human.

According to the Imperial law, humans have no legal rights. That doesn't necessarily mean humans are being killed or otherwise abused at whim, it simply means humans lack the legal protections and guarantees extended to Sidh citizens. Still, while a Sidh can legally kill a human without legal repercussion, it does not necessarily mean there will be no repercussion at all - while the Sidh will not be charged with murder as he would be if another Sidh had been unlawfully killed, this Sidh can still be charged with disturbing public peace and instigating a riot (something that tends to happen in such cases), not to mention that humans aren't forbidden to defend themselves, although self-defense with a lethal outcome occasionally tends to result in a revenge massacre, the friends of the slain Sidh killing a few dozen or hundred humans in retribution afterwards.

While humans have no legal protection, neither do they have any legal obligations besides staying in their ghetto and observing the segregation rules. They aren't required to serve in the Imperial army or follow any of the myriad of laws and customs that rigidly regulate Sidh lives, so asides from their confinement to the ghetto, humans enjoy considerably greater personal freedom than Sidhae. For example, nobody will care about humans pursuing deviant lifestyles, indulging in pleasures forbidden to Sidhae or fundamentally criticizing the Imperial government, as long as these activities do not begin to involve Sidh citizens. In fact, on many worlds the Sidh authorities will actively encourage practices they deem decadent and degenerate among the human populace to make it easier to control it through manipulating their desires and addictions, and to set the humans as negative examples to the rest of Sidh society. The ghettos hence often bustle with diverse forms of entertainment and activity not found elsewhere in the Imperium, attracting many Sidh patrons as well as fellow humans.

Despite the existence of circles of human intellectuals who pursue art, music and literature, intellectualism is not a desired activity among humans by the Imperial authorities, and intelligent humans with the potential to become leaders of a human resistance often tend to die in suspicious accidents or simply disappear if they refuse to convert and become Sidhae. The rest of the human populace is deliberately kept interested only in basest forms of entertainment - alcohol, drugs, pornography, prostitution, junk food, spectator sports, gambling, toilet humor and low-grade popular music to name a few examples. While intended to keep the humans distracted, the toleration and subtle promotion of such things in the ghettos does tend to backfire, however, since many Sidhae are also attracted try out various forms of "degenerate entertainment" by it's novelty. Imperial authorities generally look the other way, recognizing that citizens need to indulge their curiousity, as long as their attraction to these forbidden pleasures doesn't become a problem.

Human ghettos are infamous for insufficient access to basic utilities and high criminality. The average lifespan of a human born in the ghetto is 30-35 years, humans commonly dying of disease or malnutrition provided they don't get murdered in a criminal encounter first. Imperial law enforcement takes no interest in the ghetto unless a crime happens to involve a Sidh victim, which usually results in several dozen summary executions and hundreds deported to labour camps. The closest semblance to law in the ghetto are criminal gangs, which often work in cahoots with the Imperial authorities, keeping the human populace in line in exchange of having their illicit activities tolerated.

In these conditions of lawlesness, everything can be sold and bought in the ghetto - from drugs and weapons to slaves and perverse sexual services. Special facilities that offer services of child prostitution and torture for paedophiles and sadists can operate semi-openly, discretion being required only to avoid retribution by families and relatives of the victims abused therein. Saloons, gambling dens and brothels adorn almost every block in the ghetto. All of these forbidden pleasures are also available to Sidhae who are willing to pay.

Despite having relegated humans to the role of an underclass of scavengers, menial labourers and criminals, Sidhae do offer the humans two ways out. One way is that of a slave. Most slaves in the Imperium are in fact volunteers, who have willingly entered a contract of indentured servitude with a Sidh master out of destitution. A slave has access to all the luxuries that his master does in the Sidh quarters, but at the cost of being subject to his master's whims, and never being able to become a Sidh - Sidhae believe firmly that someone who has chosen enslavement over death is undeserving of freedom and hence not worthy to become a Sidh. The other way is conversion, a long, arduous and painful process that requires one to meet certain pre-requisites to be considered eligible. Many who try die or become insane in the process, while those who survive and become Sidhae forget much about their human past. Either way, Sidh authorities believe their treatment of humans is just - they do, after all, have been given options of improving their condition.

Obviously, humans cannot occupy any position more powerful than a ghetto gang leader because of their disenfranchisement. However, a ghetto gang leader can still wield considerable political power, provided he knows when and where to apply it. Placing an embargo on black-market sales to Sidh customers, for example, can sway the Sidh populace to pressure the city government to relax or abolish some anti-human policies, as can a general strike by humans working in the Sidh premises, causing disruption by stopping to perform their simple yet necessary tasks that cannot for some reason be performed by robots. So while humans cannot partake in governing the Imperium directly, they still hold enough indirect power to influence it's decisions.

Evidently, few humans are willing to migrate to the Imperium because of the prevalent anti-human attitudes and policies, those who do being either defectors who intend to convert immediately, those extremely destitute and desperate, or those seeking to escape the law from elsewhere.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.

Humans are often seen as superior to other species, therefore they have the freedom to do these kinds of things.

Humans [Homosapien sapiens, Homosapien tiberius] are the native species of Sol III/Terra/Earth/That Insignificant Blue Dot. They are the majority species and can be found throughout the world, the United States is predictably, majority human as a result.

Homosapien tiberius, the newest homonid is the result of homosapien sapiens mutating due to exposure to tiberium, they are more well known as Mutants, Outcasts, The Forgotten and other less than flattering names, they live primarily on the borders of Red Zones, close to tiberium and far away from other humans as homosapiens do not consider them to be human anymore, and just another entry on the long log that is xeno-life.

Humans, as they make up the nation are spread throughout its government, and they are the Only Legitimate Species under the Law, it's not as they have more rights, it's that filthy xeno scum has no rights.

-> Are Humans the majority species in your nation?
No, they're about 8% of the population. The rest are anthro races. About 15% are canine anthros, 12% are vulpine anthros, 17% cervine anthros, 10% are anthros of other kinds, and 38% hybrid anthros from these ones, and about 8% are normal humans.
-> How are humans treated in your nation ?
As equal citizens like everyone else.
-> Do they get to serve in positions of power?
Yes, they do. Business, politics, military, academia, etc., there's a plenty of them everywhere, they're seen as just regular citizens, just as another race.
-> Do they get more rights than other species?
No, rights and duties are absolutely equal to everyone.
