OOC


Based on the spartacus Gay Travel Index. Inspired in part by Numorland's Tourism Friendliness Index. It's a restructuring of the previous questionnaire I had, which was on for a spectacular 3 days before I both burnt out from answering everyone, partly due to how I'd done it, and was bummed out by the lack of cohesive thought put toward it. I hope that this version is slightly more coherently put together.

All nations that have successfully filled out their forms, with no problems at all, will, first and foremost, be categorised into two separate groups of nations: Nations with governments and nations without.

The reasoning for that is very simple: It was a notable flaw in a test drive* of the questionnaire's current state that nations with governments would, very obviously, attain a much higher score than nations without. As a nation that falls into the latter category, it was a proverbial shot in the foot for us, which was why we felt like we had to fix the mistake pronto.

As per our test drive, all nations in either groups will be put into one of the following ratings, put together by our lovely founder, Kitacho Honsa.

Hostile; Points < -10 points - Do NOT go to these places if you even so much as blink at a gay or bisexual person, you will be tracked to no end from such an environment. It may very well be a tourist hotspot, but unless you plan to go in with a new identity, our experts at the Kitacho Institute recommend ticking this off of your bucket list of places to visit.
Unfriendly; -10 points to -6 points - Not the best place to go if you're a gay or bisexual person: Perhaps you'll be looked down on by the locals. Maybe get snubbed by a waitress. But if you're not open about your sexuality to strangers and just like the attractions, give these places a go.
Neutral; -5 points to 5 points - These places may not give a shit. Not at all. They don't care and we don't care that they don't care; our experts sure as hell say it's a heck of a lot better than any of the above categories.
Friendly; 6 points to 10 points - Take note travellers: These are the places of warmth for the homosexual at heart. Possibly out of the lack of discrimination by the government or from the sheer level of equality given to everyone under the law, or perhaps even from the tourist-friendliness of the location, these are the countries that you will be welcomed in with open arms.
Fabulous; 10 points < Points - Congratulations: If you're a tourist that is even so much as stranded in one of these nations and is LGBT, then these are the countries that are willing to go through thick and thin to get you back on your feet, no matter whether the country in question is a mostly inhospitable wasteland.


Hostile; Points < -7 points - Do NOT go to these places if you even so much as blink at a gay or bisexual person, you will be tracked to no end from such an environment. It may very well be a tourist hotspot, but unless you plan to go in with a new identity, our experts at the Kitacho Institute recommend ticking this off of your bucket list of places to visit.
Unfriendly; -7 points to -4 points - Not the best place to go if you're a gay or bisexual person: Perhaps you'll be looked down on by the locals. Maybe get snubbed by a waitress. But if you're not open about your sexuality to strangers and just like the attractions, give these places a go.
Neutral; -3 points to 3 points - These places may not give a shit. Not at all. They don't care and we don't care that they don't care; our experts sure as hell say it's a heck of a lot better than any of the above categories.
Friendly; 4 points to 7 points - Take note travellers: These are the places of warmth for the homosexual at heart. Possibly out of the lack of discrimination by the government or from the sheer level of equality given to everyone under the law, or perhaps even from the tourist-friendliness of the location, these are the countries that you will be welcomed in with open arms.
Fabulous; 7 points < Points - Congratulations: If you're a tourist that is even so much as stranded in one of these nations and is LGBT, then these are the countries that are willing to go through thick and thin to get you back on your feet, no matter whether the country in question is a mostly inhospitable wasteland.


Please do take into consideration that, while we have had a test drive questionnaire, both questionnaires in question are very different in tone and style, which may cause the ratings listed here to change from time to time in terms of what scores are appropriate. We apologise for the inconvenience that it may cause.

RATINGS FOR NATIONS W/ GOVERNMENT



Avdrea/Vladimir Ivanovich/-15 points/LINK

N/a



Nocturnalis/Ministerium of Social Development/-12 points/LINK

People who are in a sexual minority should take note of the derogatory term 'lecher' being used in reference to them. On the upside, there's a rarely enforced law that illegitimises gay sex which will be repealed soon.



Gothex/Gothexian tourism guild/-9 points/LINK

Lesbians, bisexuals and gays are generally seen as non-existant until you remind people of your existence, which is when they start flaunting their religion in your face. Transexuals face far worse: They're generally seen as having a mental illness and are forced through treatment, upon which they are allowed to have 'pride parades' around their 'cure'.



Albagaria/Ministry of Tourism/-8 points/LINK

Any public expression of homosexuality can land you into forced labour. Beware of this if you have to come visit this nation.



newne Carriebean2/axle/- 6 points/LINK

A horrible museum dubbed the 'LGBT Pride Atrocities Museum for the Straight and curly' exists somewhere in this nation. You may visit the attraction at your own risk, if only to disgust yourselves over the existence of this.



Tanzhiye/National Survey Institute/-6 points/LINK

N/a



Drubenia/Ivan Borzov/-5 points/LINK

Do NOT go here. In spite of this rating, the one notable thing about this nation is their propensity for lynch mobs.



Crumb-Cashew/Oilo Cannellini/0 points/LINK

N/a



Egypt/Kiya/1 point/LINK

A nation of extremes: Go to Aswan or Cairo as a part of a sexual minority and you could potentially see yourself getting beheaded. Go to Alexandria or Giza, however, and see a wonderfully tolerant society and culture. Either way, don't ever go to Aswan or Cairo if your part of a sexual minority, it's just- it's not safe.



Anollasia/Anollasian Tourism Organization /5 points/LINK

N/a


Korchayk/Korchayki Social Development Ministry/5 points/LINK

Pride parades are usually incredibly heavily policed and regulated and are only allowed to be held monthly in each district. Do take note of this when you decide to travel there for those.



Wolfenia/National Agency of Culture, Tourism Division/8 points/LINK

LGBT tourists are advised not to travel to the northern regions of the nation, for there is a greater prevalence of homophobia there than there is in the southern regions. On this note, though, most tourist attractions seem to be in the southern regions already, so you should be alright.



KwaDai/Ahmed bin Jur al Amman/9 points/LINK

Cities like Tripoli, Benghazi and Yafran are generally where an LGBT-open mood will be present. Most other places seem tolerant of sexual minorities, however, so you should be fine travelling elsewhere too.



Gardevoirland/Miyoko Corporation/9 points/LINK

N/a



Icrum/Icrum/9 points/LINK

Pride parades in this nation are notable for the lack of eccentric attire that participants wear to such gatherings. This is a perfect side activity for either Pusatians living outside of Libertine City or for LGBT tourists who are not fans of usual pride parade fanfare.



Tyrandel/Teris Everikk/10 points/LINK

The majority religion, Orthodox Triunism, makes no comment on romance or sex in general, but it has condemned its heretics who are anti-LGBT in nature. However, the nation is dangerous to tourists in general, so beware.


Jute/Stan Dard/10 points/LINK

N/a



Themiclesia/Allen Corning/10 points/LINK

The law officially states that anything outside of othrodox sexual activity is counted as 'sexual intercourse'. As such, while the official age of consent is 21, since homosexual acts count outside of this, there is no real age of consent in this nation, meaning the reverse of your expectations: It's technically legal to have sex with someone of the same sex as you at any age. (Though this is a VERY unadvisable action for those who haven't hit sexual maturity yet for VERY obvious reasons)



Ammerinia/Allen Rodivick/11 points/LINK

Don't try to adopt any children in Ammerinia, regardless of sexual orientation, unless you wish to attract a great deal of scorn from the people around you. Also, unless you're unspecific in the list of tourist attractions you wish to go to, it's advised to stick around in cities like Vertway, New Rougeport and Hurlock.



Tyrandel/Teris Everikk/10 points/LINK

The majority religion, Orthodox Triunism, makes no comment on romance or sex in general, but it has condemned its heretics who are anti-LGBT in nature. However, the nation is dangerous to tourists in general, so beware.



South New Caledonia/Ministry of Tourism and Promotion/12 points/LINK

This nation seems very open to sexual minorities in general, in spite of the comparitvely lower score to its counterparts: The cantons of Noumea and Liaki both have a wonderful atmosphere for sexual minorities, with both cantons hosting a greater density of gay clubs, bars and so forth. Noumea generally has more pride parades than anywhere else in the nation, along with a sense of hospitality from its people to its tourists, while Liaki has the Diana Akberg's Monument.

Just... don't go to Neu Graz canton. It seems far less receptive than most other cantons in general are and it has been reported that a murder based on sexual orientation happens once every decade.



Gíarda/LGBC Alliance of Gíarda/12 points/LINK

If you're travelling to the nation to give a donation of any part of your body, you'll have to take note of a specific law: Anyone who is a sexual minority and has had sex within a year before the donation cannot give blood, tissue or organs.



New Matawan/Pierre Lombard/13 points/LINK

N/a



Galmarch/Stefan Junker/13 points/LINK

For LGBT foreigners wishing to get married in Galmarch, do take note that there are certain regions that have not officially legalised same sex marriage yet, though virtually all regions have civil unions.



Gandoor/The Gandoorese Ministry of Foreign Affairs/14 points/LINK

N/a



Alosteko/Government of the USRA/14 points/LINK

N/a



Aikoland/Aikoland Ministry of Tourism/14 points/LINK

Foreigners who wish to get married in Aikoland may only do so if they are marrying into the nation. I.e, they're marrying to a citizen of Aikoland.



Fanosolia/Government of Fanosolia/14 points/LINK

Pride parades there usually take place on either mardi gras, which is on the second Tuesday of February, or during spring.



Alosteko/Government of Alosteko/14 points/LINK



Equalism/Aein-Sori Yokoshiro/15 points/LINK

If you ever wish to visit this nation, you have GOT to visit Setiqualium, where pride parades likely happen around the clock or something to that nature. They've also got an official Gay Pride Day there, too, and a statue, plus picture, of notable gay women on display in their nation somewhere.

Do not go to Eastern Aquadeca, however, unless you wish to be pelted by... stones, maybe. Or, at the least, hissed at.


Wolfbenz/Leiv Stoppelbein/15 points/LINK

N/a



Ashane/Ashanese Travel Bureau/16 points/LINK

There's a tourist attraction there called 'The Unity Stone'. You can check it out.


Davinhia/James O'Reilly/17 points/LINK

There is a flexible law regarding sexual consent in which the lower age of consent between nations is taken into account: If Nation A has an age of consent of none for gays, then Davinhia's age of consent of 13 is in effect. If Nation B has an age of consent of 10 for straight couples... for somehow, then Davinhia's age of consent of 15 for straight couples no longer applies and instead, Nation's B age of consent will take precedence.



The Pentarchy/Office of Information Release/17 points/LINK

N/a



Kelinfort/Kelinfort Institute of Tourism/17 points/LINK

For those who are incredibly fearful of any possibility of persecution or death, Southern Judah's rural areas are where you are advised to avoid.



Elejamie/Welcome Home/18 points/LINK

Davenport Pride Parade and Aventry Pride Parade, held on the second Sunday of August and the third Saturday of June respectively, are apparently noteworthy enough pride parades to be mentioned. There is also an alarmingly high frequency of gay clubs, bars and et cetera: Even in generally conservative areas.


RATINGS FOR NATIONS W/O GOVERNMENT

NOTABLE EXCEPTIONS TO THE POINT SYSTEM



Sidhae/Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs/0 points/LINK

It is a nation completely filled with cybernatic beings that just does not give a damn about the fact that you have a certain sexual orientation, just the fact that you do. Incredibly fascinating in itself for any organic beings, but do not expect any warmth to be given to you, sexual minority or otherwise.



The Nexus of Man/PURELIGHT Strategic Biological Command/-20 points/LINK

Daily lynch mobs, government sanctioned exeuction, purely objectively driven hatred towards sexual minorities, alongside with the already large influence from most religions that are present in the nation and you get a hotbed that no one who even dares to identify a tiny bit with the LGBT community should touch with any length of stick. Ever.



Zhouran/Zhouranese Patriotic Liberation Front/-19 points/LINK

Zhouran is a nation that you just flat-out do not want to visit, regardless of your sexual orientation. Should you have to go to the nation, however, it is advised NEVER to reveal your sexual orientation under ANY circumstances: It is a notable nation for having amassed a high body count with regards to executions of sexual minorities in the 1980s in the Gregorian Calander, to the point that none seem to exist today. You will also be whisked off into nothingness in this nation if you choose to reveal yourself. In spite of the score not being as low as The Nexus of Man, this nation currently stuns us the most.



Ozgaard/Daimon Kek/8 points/LINK

Would you like to see the free market at work? Go to Sibirsky, The Anarchist Planet, Diztruzio, The Merchant Republics and et cetera.

What's that? Want a personification of it? And with the stereotypes that are tagged along with it? Well, then, this is the perfect nation to be at! Come right now and, soon enough, their sex tourism, gay catering industries and landmarks will start popping up everywhere, all the while they try to prevent you from adopting their children!


If you have any questions regarding the nature of the questionnaire, please file your queries at the 'Updates and Questions' page on the website.

Pro-LGBT Tourism Index Questionnaire*

*All questions assume activities are taking place in your own nation, as opposed to them happening in their origin nation.

Official Information

Name of person/organisation taking questionnaire: Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Name of nation: Imperium of Sidhae
Form of government: monarchy/stratocracy
Population: hundreds of billions
Tech level of nation: FT
How prevalent is tourism in your nation? Somewhat uncommon, mostly domestic. The Imperium has historically never been on the best of terms with it's neighbors, and the infrastructure of most Imperial worlds isn't suited to tourism.



Positive*
*Ignore questions on your own discretion based on the answers given in the other section(s).
**Ignore these section(s) if a lack of government exists in your nation.


Legislation**:
1a) Does legislation exist protecting sexual minorities? No. The Imperial government does not recognize the very concept of "minority", there being only Sidhae and everyone else in legal terms. Imperial laws pertain to and protect mostly Sidhae, very little legislation of any kind applying to non-Sidhae.
b) How extensively do these laws go into protecting them? See above.
c) Do such laws apply to tourists? Foreign visitors are allowed to practice their ways as long as it doesn't breach any existing Imperial laws, or involve propagating those ways or soliciting Sidhae into partaking.
2a) Are civil unions between people of the same gender legal? No, and neither is any other kind of civil unions. The institution of marriage and civil union itself has been abolished on grounds of obsolescence in Sidh society. The closest thing to a civil union that Sidhae know is a "contract of cohabitation", which enables two or more Sidhae to legally share the same residence. This contract, however, isn't exclusive to Sidhae sharing a romantic involvement, and may be entered by Sidhae of any sex and personal involvement for a variety of reasons.
b) Are gay marriages legal? See above.
c) Can foreigners get married? No, the Imperial law has no provisions for marriage of any kind. Married couples of foreign visitors are recognized as a family unit though, the law again specifying nothing about their sex.
3a) Are gay couples able to adopt? No. Sidhae are cyborgs - they don't have children to begin with. Visitors with adopted children are recognized as a family unit, and the law makes no mention of specific sex requirements in their case.
b) Are the conditions required for gay couples to adopt different from that of straight couples? See above.
c) Are foreigners able to adopt children? No, because Sidhae have no children. Even provided they did, the answer would still be a firm "no" - giving away children to be adopted abroad would be seen as selling out the nation's future.
4a) Age of consent for straight couples: As soon as you leave the progenitory. Being cyborgs, Sidhae are manufactured/grown to adult size and capacity, rendering "age of consent" obsolete.
b) Age of consent for gay couples: See above.
c) Do such laws apply to tourists? No. The Imperial authorities do not really care about the sexual lives of foreigners, as long as no Sidhae are involved. Theoretically, a paedophile could freely walk about Imperial cities with his 12-year-old victim, Sidh authorities not caring in the least simply because neither of them is Sidh.

Society:
1. Is the attitude of most people towards sexual minorities positive? It is neutral. Sexual deviances are seen as just that - deviances, inconvenient if otherwise harmless afflictions that should be cured since they confer no advantages. Unorthodox sexuality is somewhat unusual in Sidh eyes, but certainly no grounds for discrimination and contempt, not anymore than lisp or near-sightedness.
2. Is the attitude of most people towards the concept of gay marriage/civil unions between people of the same gender positive? Sidhae regard the institution of marriage/civil union as obsolete, which is indeed the case in their society, as something that outsiders do. It sparks no feelings, positive or negative, since it is simply something not practiced in Sidh society. Marriage has a slight negative connotation of being associated with humans, long-standing rivals of Sidhae, but is seen as normal within the context of their society.
3. Is the attitude of most people towards the concept of foreigners getting hitched in their nation positive? Sidhae are generally cautious and suspicious around foreigners. Not that many of them come to the Imperium in peace, really, the ones that do being mostly smugglers, mercenaries or diplomatic dignitaries.

Atmosphere:
1a) Are pride parades legal in your nation? No. These parades are meant to promote a deviance, a flaw, as something to be proud of rather than something to be cured, an act which is itself un-Sidh. Furthermore, these parades peddle a certain set of un-Sidh political beliefs. Promotion of such ideas is expressly forbidden by law in any form. Parading one's sexuality in any form would also offend Sidh sensibilities, most believing that it is a thing to be kept private, putting it out for everyone to see being a gross and vulgar indiscretion. Should any homosexuals have the mind to attempt organizing such a parade, they would likely be seen as exhibitionists and met with hostility, further aggravated by the political implications.
b) Are pride parades a common occurance? See above.
2. Are gay clubs/bars/any other type of location geared towards sexual minorities common? Entertainment establishments within Sidh premises are geared towards specific professions or musical tastes. There are likely preferred homosexual hangouts in the human ghettos, but Imperial authorities make no effort to account for them.
3a) Are there any media outlets specifically geared towards sexual minorities? No. Not anymore than there are media for people with lisp or near-sightedness.
b) Is the media sympathetic to sexual minorities in general? The media, like society at large, is neutral about this matter. What a Sidh does in his bedroom is his own private business, but both society and the media expect that it stay private.
4. Are gay marriages/civil unions a common sight? No. As said before, marriage of any kind is non-existent within the Imperium, save maybe among humans, whose ways are of no concern to Imperial authorities.
5. Are there companies in the tourism industry that cater specifically to sexual minorities? The few tourism enterprises in the Imperium cater to certain professions (industrial workers, military, etc.) rather than sort customers by other criteria.
6. If the answer to question 1. is yes, are such positive feelings publicly shown? See question No.1
7. Are there any landmarks specifically geared towards sexual minorities? No. How can you even gear a whole landmark towards sexual minorities, by the way?



Neutral*
*Ignore questions on your own discretion based on the answers given in the other section(s).
**Ignore these section(s) if a lack of government exists in your nation.


Legislation**:

1a) Are foreigners infected with HIV/AIDS allowed to travel into the country's borders? Sidh augmented immune systems are robust enough to handle considerably nastier pathogens than HIV, so visitors with HIV infection aren't deemed a risk - especially because the likelihood of a Sidh citizen engaging in sex, blood transfusion or IV drug use with these visitors is next to none.
b) Are offenders who travel in or out of the country punishiable by anything more than deportation under the law? There are certain regulations pertaining to diseases which Sidh immune systems cannot handle. Most of them, however, are virulent and deadly enough to kill most non-augmented infected long before they can reach other worlds, and those infected with ones survivable enough to be spread are likely to be quarantined (or terminated, if less extreme containment measures fail) before their illness can cause any serious trouble.
2a) Does the nation have a state religion? Not in the traditional sense. The Way is a compilation of philosophical teachings and tenets that define proper Sidh way of life, somewhat akin to Confucianism. While there are zealots who have elevated the personality cult of the Emperor (and to a lesser degree, of the Empress) to almost religious level, it is not officially endorsed by the state, and while teachings of the Way affect Sidh life and Imperial legislation throughout, the Imperial government is a secular one by all practical means.
b) Does it condemn or condone actions done by sexual minorities? The Way touches very little on the matters of sexuality, only stating that it is the ability to master one's base urges and desires, not indulge them that differs a sapient being (i.e., a Sidh) from a mindless animal who acts on instinct. The Way teaches that discretion in private matters is a virtue, since it requires one to exercise restraint. Also, the Way states that to be Sidh means to constantly strive for improvement, to seek remedy to one's flaws and shortcomings both mentally and physically. Because of these three tenets, it is the general consensus of Sidh society that deviant sexuality is a flaw that must be remedied, a view supported by science which recognizes it as a multi-spectral disorder. Consequently, while no Sidh will be condemned, discriminated or hated solely on the grounds of being homosexual, there will be a certain social expectation for him to seek a cure (which is well within possibilities of Sidh medical science), or at least be discreet about his unusual preferences should he choose not to.
c) Does the connection between the state and this religion affect the legislation made regarding sexual minorities? Considering how Imperial authorities have plenty of more important things to do than legislate the intimate lives of their subjects (such as running an interstellar empire embroiled in a war on several fronts), there is very little legislation of any kind pertaining to sex or sexuality. The existing conventions are largely based in generally-accepted custom rather than codified law.

Society:
1a) What is the nation's majority religion, if any? The Way - but as said before, it is a philosophy rather than religion in the ordinary sense.
b) Does it condemn or condone actions done by sexual minorities? The attitude of Sidhae towards homosexuality is based in the Way, as explained above, but as said before, the teachings themselves practically do not address sexuality.
c) Do most followers take such heedings from the religion literally? Since the Way deals with lifestyle at large without focusing on particular aspects like sexuality, there isn't much to take literally or figuratively.



Negative*
*Ignore questions on your own discretion based on the answers given in the other section(s).
**Ignore these section(s) if a lack of government exists in your nation.


Legislation**:
1a) Does legislation exist discriminate sexual minorities? No. As said before, Sidhae see no point in discriminating someone simply on grounds of having a glitch in their reproductive instinct.
b) How extensively do these laws go into discriminating them? See above.
c) Do such laws apply to tourists? No, asides from a ban on promoting sexual deviances as desirable or soliciting Sidhae to partake in deviant (or any other) sexual acts.
2a) Does the death penalty apply to sexual minorities? Well, yes - under the same circumstances as anyone else.
b) How frequently did such executions occur? Depends on how often a member of sexual minorities commits a capital crime. His sexual preferences will obviously be irrelevant in the judicial process.

Society:
1. Is the attitude of most people towards sexual minorities negative? It is neutral.
2. Is the attitude of most people towards the concept of gay marriage/civil unions between people of the same gender negative? It is neutral, because marriage isn't practiced in Sidh society at all.
3. Is the attitude of most people towards the concept of foreigners getting hitched in their nation negative? Yes, Sidhae are suspicious towards foreigners in general.
4a) Have there been any acts of persecution against sexual minorities by the local population due to their sexual minority? No. If anyone gets persecuted, it's for more serious reasons than a rather trivial medical condition.
b) How frequently did such acts occur? See above.
5a) Have there been members of sexual minorities murdered due to their sexual minority? When people in the Imperium get killed, it is also for more serious reasons than solely for unorthodox sexual preferences.
b) How frequently did such murders occur? See above.

Atmosphere:
1. If the answer to 1b) in the 'Society' section under Neutral is that actions done by sexual minorities is condemned by the majority religion, do the religion's followers flaunt this fact publicly? No, because the Sidh "religion" is neutrally disposed towards homosexuality itself. Any hostility provoked by someone's sexual preferences is because that someone has been indiscreet about them rather than for the preferences themselves.
2a) Are there media outlets that flaunt the persecution of sexual minorities, state-sanctioned or not? No. Imperial state media has more important things to do (such as brainwash the citizens into fanatical patriotic devotion) than to counter-productively commit it's time and resources to incite hatred against a minority group that represents a negligible segment of the population to begin with.
b) Is the local media aggressive to sexual minorities in general? No. As said before, Sidhae don't really care to know or hear about other people's sexual lives and preferences, so if any media began to openly target sexual deviants, they themselves would be guilty of indiscretion and incite public ire for indiscreetly revealing the private lives of certain citizens.
