Gloria Regis Feminist Cultural Revolution

Postby Gloria Regis » Fri Jan 29, 2016 12:12 pm

OOC: This is to develop my country more. I will welcome comments but i'd like to ask that they be in character--questions from journalists, diplomats, citizens writing to a government website and so on. Please try to put these in an email or letter format. Thanks very much. If you would like to roleplay with my nation in some other way please let me know. I will gladly join or start another thread with you.

IC: The Vice-Protector of Gloria Regis, Dr. Servilia Aemlianus, has introduced and had accepted a new proposal for living arrangements for women in Gloria Regis. It is hoped that this will encourage women to prosper and be safe, encourage men to give up patriarchal control over society and also encourage many positive interactions with other countries. It should be clear that the reforms proposed as this part of the Cultural Revolution are entirely voluntary.

Preamble: Inspired by the brave people of Esperantujo 2, the Council of Guardians has proposed to the Assembly that they should consider mandating a radical and exciting shift to policy about lifestyle that will help move our Cultural Revolution forward.

Lesbianism in Esperantujo 2 is a fascinating document, a look at life in another country that has inspired a new movement and political proposal that may change the lives of citizens in Gloria Regis for the better. The Assembly has generally agreed that this should become publicly funded and that a joint committee of the Council of Guardians and the Assembly will oversee its welfare.

General Proposal: This is a modification of the Esperantujo concept more suitable to the people of Gloria Regis.

1. Qualifications: The minimum age for joining is 13, but most women join much later, after leaving school. Candidates' sexual orientation is independently tested, in the Women’s Health Center in Heraclea. Women who join must be accepting of female sexual fluidity—the notion that women may at any time choose their own sexual inclinations.
2. Locations: The Comunes' main centers will be in Heraclea, Iphigenia and at Isis-Urania University Campus, because these cities have the best rail, road and air access.
3. Men: Men will allowed into the centers only for the purposes of procreation. We have no truck with artificial insemination. Even the least lesbian woman on the review committee has accepted that that the natural way is more biologically sound. The men are not allowed to enter the center from the station at the upper or ground levels. They have to use the underground entrance. Would-be mothers have to post an announcement that they are expecting a male visitor. If women, particularly when pregnant, like to be in the nude when indoors, and the announcement serves to warn them to put on clothes, as well as celebrating a new stage in the couple's relationship. This relationship is never an exclusive one.
4. Children: Male children are not subject to the restrictions on adult men. They are regarded as honorary females. The boys may remain in the Commune until their 13th birthday, when they must leave. Some, but not all of them go to live with their natural fathers. There will be an arrangement with the School Students Union to find suitable accomodation. When these boys grow into adults, women find them very desirable romantic partners. Because they have spent so long in the company of women, they are believed to be particularly sensitive to women's desires.
Daughters are allowed to stay until they reach 21. They also often attain eminence outside the collective.
The maximum number of children permitted is four per couple.
5. Education: The centers have their own schools, for children aged 5 to 7. At age 8 they go to outside schools.

Dear Dr Servilia Aemlianus,

It has come to my, and the rest of Nortend's attention that there is occuring a 'Cultural Revolution' within Gloria Regis. Within our country, there have been protests at the horrid life these women are living, with barriers to the natural world, living in sin and promoting the most abominable acts and relations. I convey the message of the Nortan public, the House of Lords and the Government of the Kingdom of Nortend, Cardoby and Hoebrideland when I say we think it most vulgar. The Government are looking into this ideological cult and I would like to inform you that from to-day, the 30th of Janurary, in the Year of Our Lord Two-thousand-and-Sixteen, travel from or to Gloria Regis, to or from the Kingdom is henceforth prohibited under the Act to ensure the safety of His Majesty's subjects, 2016.'

Should you have any questions or wish further information, please do not hesitate to telegram or write to me.

Yours faithfully,

Martin Fitzgerald,

The Right Honourable, Earl of Hamberwick, The Lord Chancellor

To The Right Honourable Martin Fitzgerald, Earl of Hamberwick, The Lord Chancellor

It is too bad that you have leaped to such a huge conclusion about Gloria Regis. Maybe you could send an envoy and see how peaceful and happy a society this is. However if your government is so narrow minded that your leadership cannot see fit to actually undertake diplomacy rather than rash actions, that is your unfortunate issue. We are open to peacefula nd friendly negotiations any time.

sincerely,

Dr. Servilia Aemlianus

Name of Nation: The Enlightened Matriarchy of the Shrailleeni Empire
Leader: Her Enlightened Majesty the Mother Empress Chella Resyanna fe Shrailleen
How Feminist/matriarchal/gynocratic is your Nation? (briefly in no more than a paragraph): The Shrailleeni Empire has roots in ancient matriarchal traditions that have continued in various forms into the present day. The Empire adheres to principles referred to as "Enlightened Matriarchy," and maintains a matriarchal form of government and culture that exalts motherhood both literally and spiritually.
Why do you want to support our cultural revolution? (briefly, in no more than a paragraph): The Imperial government must publicly be cautious in its support of the cultural revolution due to its various political ties and agreements. However, various private individuals and organizations are openly supportive of the cultural revolution. This reasons for this support are divided into three broad categories: The hope that Gloria Regis can provide a living example of how to successfully transform a patriarchal culture into a matriarchal one; The hope that a culturally transforming Gloria Regis will be highly receptive of broad conversions to Mother Goddess Worship; The sincere belief that matriarchal societies are more just and humane than patriarchal or egalitarian ones.
Financial Grant (note please be realistic, no one send billions or trillions of dollars!): The Sisters of Light, a Temple order which practices all-female seclusion, sends a grant of $3,476 converted shicks. The Temple of the Moon, whose priestesshood consists only of female-female couples, sends a grant of $10,455 converted shicks. Various private sources, including individuals, have been cleared for a total transfer of $500,600 converted shicks.
Public Declarations of Support Y/N: Y (officially in terms of supporting right to cultural expression)
Popular Media Support (please briefly describe—celebrities, activism, etc): Several Temple orders have voiced strong public support, displays of student support raising awareness and collecting aid funds exist in several traditional universities.
Trade Agreement Imports:The Empire currently allows free import trade from Gloria Regis.
Trade Agreement Exports (briefly describe): Oil, coffee, cocoa, sugar, spices, perhaps machinery and automotive parts/vehicles, perhaps textiles and hardwoods.
Expert Support (educators, technical advisers, etc; please no military advisers except from matriarchal or gynocratic nations)
Educators, Matriarchal Sociologists, Military Advisors

Heraclea, Gloria Regis

"I believe that Gloria Regis' Cultural Revolution is going to bring the woman-leading nations of the worl d together at last," said Theodora Ferrovius to shining eyed Student Union leaders at a speech at Bountiful Park. Ever since the revolution had begun, this open air beautiful rather natural looking park, with its large old trees, grass lined pathways, herb gardens, sundials, fountains and pools and picnicking areas, its open air theater and streams had been a gathering place for those who believe in the nation's independence and its future. Philosophers, poets, musicians, scholars of the law gathered there; political leaders made speeches from it, and following the Anathaat tradition athletes sometimes wrestled, danced, practiced with blunted weapons and engaged in other contests there.

As the Guardian of Justice, an athletic woman with the features of a classic statue, stepped down to enthusiastic applause, a presentation began. The Student Union, led by the vibrant and passionate young Chloe Lokris (I am a spokeswoamn, we have no leaders in the patrirachal sense) spoke of men's rights in Islas sagradas.

Male Rights in Islas Sagradas
-All males must have a female guardian, if a male is without a guardian he becomes a ward of the state. Wards of the state are usually sent to labor camps or forced to join the military.

-Males cannot study, travel or work without the permission of their guardian.

-Females can be married to more than one male, but males cannot be married to more than one female.

-Same-sex marriage is allowed for females, but not for males.

-Males are not allowed to own property.

-Males are not allowed to drive.

-Males are not allowed to be clergy.

-Males are not allowed to hold supervisor positions in their place of employment.


This was compared by political philosophers and legal theorists to the Doctrine of Thrallism from Gloria Regis' ally, The Feminist Empire of Deadora:
Thrallism has been the defining feature of political thought in Deadora for well over a century, and so has come to touch every aspect of the culture, from the way language is structured to body language and style of dress. Central is the idea of social order, which can be captured by the saying "Women over Men". This concept is the foundation upon which the entire ideology, and thus society, has been built upon. Everything, every word spoken and action taken, must contribute to building up the social order. Crimes against the Social Order are judged worse than any other, and the punishment is often execution, preceded by lengthy torture. It is important to note that men can almost never be victims of a crime against Social Order. A man can not be raped, assaulted, or lawfully murdered by a woman. "Victimhood" is, for all intents and purposes, legally denied to men.

Thrallism identifies that men are inherently violent and that women are inherently civilized, and reasons that a strong, pervasive, and female state is needed in order to control men and to protect women. Since rehabilitative justice is ineffective when applied to men, more base punishments must be embraced. Castration, torture, and execution are the most common punishment for men who commit crimes against the Social Order, particularly for the crimes of rape and murder when committed against a woman. Methods vary throughout the Empire and its provinces, but most cities and towns in Deadora still have a gallows or guillotine for public execution. Crimes that warrant this reaction are officially referred to as 'Crimes of Destabilization', because they destabilize the very foundations of Deadoran society.

However, this response presents two problems: men, being the sex best suited for war, cannot have their natural violent inclination curbed if they are expected to serve in the military; and crimes that go against Social Order, but are not so severe enough that they warrant execution or castration, such as assault, theft, and stalking of a woman. The solution to these two issues is the same: allow the military to serve as the police, and reward soldiers who serve in this capacity to rape men who commit these minor crimes, officially classified as 'Crimes of Oppression', because they are an attempt to reestablish patriarchal oppression within Deadora. Women are punished similarly for Crimes of Oppression, and then interned in a rehabilitative facility to undo the internalization of patriarchal ideals that caused them to commit such a crime.

There is a whole spectrum of activities that are not prohibited by law that are, nonetheless, heavily stigmatized by social taboos. Men are not expected to hold a woman's gaze, interrupt her while she is speaking, or presume to have knowledge that a woman does not. Men are expected to avoid bright or bold colours while dressing, as to do so suggest social dominance. Language has been restructured in such a way to emphasize female importance to society. It was only within the last decade that speaking in a patriarchal fashion was removed from the list of Crimes of Oppression.


Further discussions were expected, but it was noticed that Islas Sagradas' laws about males were those of a nation that perhaps had not had to deal with being under the thumb of the Patriarchy in many generations; by contrast deadora had had its own liberation in the 19th Century from under the Late Roman Empire. Moderates such as the protector, Livia Barberina, still talked about equality, but some legal theorists were already saying that this was impossible in a Patriarchy.

"The Women's Communes are just the beginning," said Chloe Lokris at the end of hte panel discussions on foreign legal theories for men.

However just then there were screams and shouts at the edge of the park (which was large, covering an area of several city blocks in all four directions) and a number of people were seen running panic, men shouting as they tried to protect women from other men who were tearing up signs, throwing gas grenades, wearing masks and then jumping into trucks and driving off. Spray painted on walls nearby the park at the market buildings that surrounded the park area were things like REAL FREEDOM FOR GLORIA REGIS! REMEMBER THE MEN! NO THRALLDOM FOR GLORIA REGIS!

"It's so ironic," said Theodora Ferrovius sadly to colleagues as she looked, later. "Our measures are peaceful and fair, and yet these people cannot see it. We don't want to oppress anyone, quite the opposite. it's like they're trying to push us to the way of Deadora or Islas Sagradas, isn't it?"

Name of Nation: Federal Republic of Wispy Sands
Leader: President Doba
How Feminist/matriarchal/gynocratic is your Nation? (briefly in no more than a paragraph): We stay away from the 3rd wave definition of feminism (ie. matriarchy), but we have managed to make a nation more akin to the 1st or 2nd wave's definition. We uphold values of total equality and frown upon things that strongly favor one side or the other.
Why do you want to support our cultural revolution? (briefly, in no more tan a paragraph): We want the people of Gloria Regis to live through the same experience that we did and taste both side of the blade before settling at total equality with us. We could always use more neighbors here!
Financial Grant : RWS $25 million ($10 million)
Public Declarations of Support Y/N: Yes
Popular Media Support: Famous actresses Arella Montesano and Elisa Holm already expressed support of the cultural revolution, along with General Daniel Lane and President Doba
Trade Agreement Imports: We can discuss this at a future time
Trade Agreement Exports (briefly describe): We can discuss this at a future time
Expert Support: We can probably spare a little of anyone you need

We would also like to send an envoy to strengthen our nations ties.

To President Doba,

We are very grateful for the help, cultural exchange, support and trade with your country and would like to discuss trade when your people are ready to do it. Gloria Regis is largely a country that produces fruits, vegetables, dairy products and some fish products, as ell as arts and crafts. We would gladly entertain a trade envoy. We are also grateful for the support of actresses Arella Montesano and Elisa Holm General Daniel Lane and of course yourself.

I would like to emphasize that while some see us as man hating people, we are not. We are just trying to help people get away from the overwhelming emphasis and indoctrination of a toxic system of oppression. Our system is voluntary and yet to be honest economically on a personal and community level is very enticing, we hope, to women trying to get away from patriarchy. Ultimately this will benefit men too as they are freed from the socially constructed self oppression of need for dominance and will be able to become fully fruitful and free human beings.


In gratitude and friendship,

Livia Barberina

Name of Nation: The Republic of Kalaron
Leader: The Archon
How Feminist/matriarchal/gynocratic is your Nation? (briefly in no more than a paragraph): Kalaron has always strived for Equality, and as such is inline with the goal of first wave feminism.
Why do you want to support our cultural revolution? (briefly, in no more tan a paragraph): No. The fact that your "Revolution" seems to support stripping many -if not most- of the rights of men away from their nation makes it quite repugnant to me and my nation.
In fact, Your nation seems to strive for less than the lofty goal of equality and instead for a return to America's past, merely swapping the roles played by Men and women.
If this is so, than you seek to install a matriarchy that would be just as bad, if not worse than a similar Patriarchy
Financial Grant (note please be realistic, no one send billions or trillions of dollars!): My fair nation will be spending zero (0) Kubricks for your cause, due to the previous issues mentioned.
Public Declarations of Support Y/N: No
Popular Media Support (please briefly describe—celebrities, activism, etc): There is no popular support from any of the men or women of Kalaron.
Trade Agreement Imports: None of the people of Kalaron would support a state warring against Women's rights, and in similar nature will not support a state warring on against men.
Trade Agreement Exports (briefly describe): See previous.
Expert Support (educators, technical advisers, etc; please no military advisers except from matriarchal or gynocratic nations) Provided a notable difference is achieved between the current goals of your state and those of Equality, the people of Kalaron may one day decided to support you.

I feel the need to also note the severe repulsion traveling through my nation at your revolution.
Any men within your nation who are so offended may travel to Kalaron to have their Human rights properly observed.
As far as I can see, this revolution is naught but a goal sprung from the thing of nightmares, and I am being urged by my Secretary of Correspondence that the goal you strive for is "Insane, untenable, and based in the foolish belief that one part of a specie can be better than the other."
I hope that your cause falls more inline with that of Egalitarian nations, and wish you a good day.
--The Archon of Kalaron.

To: Livia Barberina, Protector of Gloria Regis.
From: Georgios Demertzis, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Herodas.

Protector Barberina,
Herodas has heard of the new cultural viewpoint of Gloria Regis and while the Government of the Federal Republic does not agree with a very few details, we wish you much luck and the best of winds on your new course.
I am quite sure, that you will meet people, who will offer you more support and more praise, acknowledgement and might even consider to take your model to a nation-wide level, but you will also meet people, who will threaten you with slavery and death.
I, for one, would love to welcome you and your ideas on the international stage.

I would also love to offer you an exchange of Embassies with the Federal Republic (this would also act as an Guarantee of Independence and Territorial Integrety, defended, if needed, by the strength of Herodan Arms), as well as the abolishment of certain migration limits, to make it easier for Herodans to move to Gloria Regis and join the communes, as well as vice versa.
If wished, we can organize a state visit to Herodas at your earliest convinience.

Signed,
Georgios Demertzis
Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Herodas.


Name of Nation:
Leader: President Panagis Maximos.
How Feminist/matriarchal/gynocratic is your Nation?:
    Men and women are equal before the law and in society, can serve in the Federal Armed Forces under equal requirements (and both have to perform compulsory military service unless declared unfit for duty) and hold high political and social offices. Women have the same duties on the job and earn the same amounts of money as their male colleagues. While many of the older families are traditionally headed by the oldest male, it is the oldest female, who keeps it running.
Why do you want to support our cultural revolution?:
    It is the right of free choice of any nation to choose their own path, politically and culturally. As the Revolution in Gloria Regis does not seem to act against basic tenants of human rights and decency, we do not see any problem with supporting Gloria Regis in this undertaking - or protecting them, if things turn sour.
Financial Grant: None.
Public Declarations of Support Y/N: Yes.
Popular Media Support:
    Several artists and famous people, as well as two politicians, have declared their support for Gloria Regis' new course.
Trade Agreement Imports (to Herodas):
    Depends on what there is to offer.
Trade Agreement Exports (from Herodas):
    Arms and military equipment, computer equipment, heavy machienery.
Expert Support:
    Teachers, students, architects and, with your permission, an ambassadorial mission.

Candidates' sexual orientation is independently tested, in the Women’s Health Center in Heraclea. Women who join must be accepting of female sexual fluidity—the notion that women may at any time choose their own sexual inclinations.
2. Locations: The Comunes' main centers will be in Heraclea, Iphigenia and at Isis-Urania University Campus, because these cities have the best rail, road and air access.
3. Men: Men will allowed into the centers only for the purposes of procreation. We have no truck with artificial insemination. Even the least lesbian woman on the review committee has accepted that that the natural way is more biologically sound. The men are not allowed to enter the center from the station at the upper or ground levels. They have to use the underground entrance. Would-be mothers have to post an announcement that they are expecting a male visitor. If women, particularly when pregnant, like to be in the nude when indoors, and the announcement serves to warn them to put on clothes, as well as celebrating a new stage in the couple's relationship. This relationship is never an exclusive one.
4. Children: Male children are not subject to the restrictions on adult men. They are regarded as honorary females. The boys may remain in the Commune until their 13th birthday, when they must leave. Some, but not all of them go to live with their natural fathers. There will be an arrangement with the School Students Union to find suitable accomodation. When these boys grow into adults, women find them very desirable romantic partners. Because they have spent so long in the company of women, they are believed to be particularly sensitive to women's desires.
Daughters are allowed to stay until they reach 21. They also often attain eminence outside the collective.
The maximum number of children permitted is four per couple.
5. Education: The centers have their own schools, for children aged 5 to 7. At age 8 they go to outside schools.

To the Honorable Protector Livia Barberina of Gloria Regis,

The project that you and your Sisters are undertaking to accomplish is in truth a source of great inspiration for me. It is my hope that the structure of your democracy, through based in part on your past experience with it, may provide a path for we who have never before attempted it on a national scale. Many of my people look to your nation with minds hopeful for our own future, and for this I am grateful to you.

I am pleased to announce to you and to our Sisters and Brothers in Gloria Regis that Imperial Decree has established in the Shrailleeni Empire a Gloria Regian Scholarship Fund. Those among your people who have demonstrated great scholastic ability, an interest in the fields of the humanities, and financial need will now be eligible to apply through the Shrailleeni embassy to participate in centers of higher education in the empire with free tuition and a stipend for expenses. Eligibility shall not be restricted by age, occupation, or gender, however, male applicants will be asked to complete an additional form asking about their background and views toward feminism and matriarchy.

I know from my own experience and from the experience of my mother and grandmother that many ignorant national leaders will be displeased with your efforts, and that many patriarchal leaders may respond with outright hostility, if they have not already. I hope that you will rest somewhat more easily in the knowledge that the Shrailleeni people are ready to lay down their lives for the peace and security of your nation, as it has been.

With the Love of the Mother of All, may She forever smile upon us,

Her Enlightened Majesty the Mother Empress Chella Resyanna fe Shrailleen,
In Her Own Hand

IC: The Vice-Protector of Gloria Regis, Dr. Servilia Aemlianus, has introduced and had accepted a new proposal for living arrangements for women in Gloria Regis. It is hoped that this will encourage women to prosper and be safe, encourage men to give up patriarchal control over society and also encourage many positive interactions with other countries. It should be clear that the reforms proposed as this part of the Cultural Revolution are entirely voluntary.

Preamble: Inspired by the brave people of Esperantujo 2, the Council of Guardians has proposed to the Assembly that they should consider mandating a radical and exciting shift to policy about lifestyle that will help move our Cultural Revolution forward.

Lesbianism in Esperantujo 2 is a fascinating document, a look at life in another country that has inspired a new movement and political proposal that may change the lives of citizens in Gloria Regis for the better. The Assembly has generally agreed that this should become publicly funded and that a joint committee of the Council of Guardians and the Assembly will oversee its welfare.

General Proposal: This is a modification of the Esperantujo concept more suitable to the people of Gloria Regis.

1. Qualifications: The minimum age for joining is 13, but most women join much later, after leaving school. Candidates' sexual orientation is independently tested, in the Women’s Health Center in Heraclea. Women who join must be accepting of female sexual fluidity—the notion that women may at any time choose their own sexual inclinations.
2. Locations: The Comunes' main centers will be in Heraclea, Iphigenia and at Isis-Urania University Campus, because these cities have the best rail, road and air access.
3. Men: Men will allowed into the centers only for the purposes of procreation. We have no truck with artificial insemination. Even the least lesbian woman on the review committee has accepted that that the natural way is more biologically sound. The men are not allowed to enter the center from the station at the upper or ground levels. They have to use the underground entrance. Would-be mothers have to post an announcement that they are expecting a male visitor. If women, particularly when pregnant, like to be in the nude when indoors, and the announcement serves to warn them to put on clothes, as well as celebrating a new stage in the couple's relationship. This relationship is never an exclusive one.
4. Children: Male children are not subject to the restrictions on adult men. They are regarded as honorary females. The boys may remain in the Commune until their 13th birthday, when they must leave. Some, but not all of them go to live with their natural fathers. There will be an arrangement with the School Students Union to find suitable accomodation. When these boys grow into adults, women find them very desirable romantic partners. Because they have spent so long in the company of women, they are believed to be particularly sensitive to women's desires.
Daughters are allowed to stay until they reach 21. They also often attain eminence outside the collective.
The maximum number of children permitted is four per couple.
5. Education: The centers have their own schools, for children aged 5 to 7. At age 8 they go to outside schools.

OOC: To the couple of posters here who have written in this manner, and others lke them: this is a ROLEPLAYING FORUM. Not General. I will ask mods to remove posts like this in future. This thread doesn't represent my actual views on how a government should be run; it's a fantasy, like a story. Either post here in character (if you want your nation to oppose what I'm doing or not) or don't.

A public announcement from The Corporate Theocratic Kingdom of The Hairy Men of God relating to the revolution.

"We the Hairy men of God would like to welcome and extend our hands to any men who would like refugee status away from the vile feminists and their degenerate revolution within gloria regis.

In our great nation the man is the head of the household, women are property to be sold by their fathers and to work without stopping. Just as a son is slave to his father.

We are a religious nation and a rich one at that, we shall pay for all expenses to expedite your arrival and to help you understand our culture we shall give daily educational lessons.

Income tax is 0, the fruits of your labor are your own. No need to worry about things like revolution, democracy and "equality"

Come home manly man, in this land you are free to be yourself and to work with a job of your choosing to your heart's desire.

If you wish to make something of yourself you will achieve greatness if that is in your worth, if you are a criminal you shall be dealt with harshly.

Come home religious man, worker man and manly man. We shall accept you." - The King Ba'al Abramelin Emeth V-Emeth.
"It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity."

"Modern morality and manners suppress all natural instincts, keep people ignorant of the facts of nature and make them fighting drunk on bogey tales"

To Georgios Demertzis, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Republic of Herodas

Thank you very much for your support, offers of assistance and of a trade mission exchange. I would be very honored to receive your envoys and to talk further with your leadership. I am glad that a foreign national leader sees our cultural revolution as not threatening to men. It is the farthest thing from our intention to simply threaten or bully men; we only want equality.

sincerely,
Livia Barberina
Protector of Gloria Regis

HER COURT OF BRELLACH

ImageImageImageImageImage




Brightest blessings;

It is my great honour to convey to you and yours the words of the Magnificent and Beautiful, Wise and Powerful, Perfect and Almighty, Avatar of the Divine Glory, Queen Lyta of Brellach, Her horses swift and Her blade true. She does seek to express Her most profound despair that Those of the Other Place of Gloria Regis have seen it needed to separate themselves in this manner, for though She and Her Divine Glory made women in Her image, it was never Her desire for Her children to live apart. All are equally beloved in Her Creation, and all must love equally - to do otherwise brings sadness to Her.

This being said, She also wishes to convey Her hope that this measure is one that is not permanent, one to be used as a means to lift the shroud of darkness that has befallen the Other Place of Gloria Regis. Once you and yours are properly enlightened and again capable of mutual respect, it is Her wish that once more harmony can be restored, and that all of Her Children can live together in peace again.

But She cannot and will not endorse the idea that Those of the Other Place of Gloria Regis be separated in this way, and She cannot and will not authorise a boon of Her Queendom's resources for the support of this endeavour.

Her brightest blessings to you and yours in these darkened Times That Are Present which you all endure.




Most humbly,

Fellis Jessina
Most Devout Advisor of Her Court

Name of Nation: Kingdom of Caelestiam
Leader: King Mathias Andouin I and the Council of Lords
How Feminist/matriarchal/gynocratic is your Nation? (briefly in no more than a paragraph): In our reality we were the "OG Feminists" so to speak. During the Superstes Renascientia period of our history we had our first female head of state, introduced female rights and privileges into our country (something nobody else except maybe Japan was doing), and generally created a very forward-thinking civilization. Nowadays we are no longer "feminist" but "egalitarian" in the sense that we support both women's rights and men's rights, and strive for equilibrium while respecting the differences between man and woman (the things that make either gender unique and important). We offer some of the best treatment for women in our reality, especially for pregnant women, whom we practically worship.
Why do you want to support our cultural revolution? (briefly, in no more tan a paragraph): We do not wish to support this "revolution." It is a backwards, overambitious, vengeful movement that restricts the rights of men and ironically women. It is sexist and immature in the sense that in all honesty, it's really feels like a payback-scheme to replace a patriarchy with an equally terrible matriarchy. Like one poster said, it is essentially just a mirror-image of America in the 18th/19th centuries: Here, women are the dominant gender with all the rights, and men are just there to provide the sperm cells. It is supported by Isla Sagradas, who are disreputable in our nation. Therefore, no, we will not support this extremist devolution.
Financial Grant (note please be realistic, no one send billions or trillions of dollars!): No Chrysoes have been given.
Public Declarations of Support Y/N: No.
Popular Media Support (please briefly describe—celebrities, activism, etc): Very little support from the media. Tabloids and popular feminist YouTubers from Caelestiam have declared support but lack the resources to back those declarations and make them mean anything.
Trade Agreement Imports: Any male immigrants who wish to leave your society, along with their children and wives if their wives are opposed to the revolution.
Trade Agreement Exports (briefly describe): SHINOBI.
Expert Support (educators, technical advisers, etc; please no military advisers except from matriarchal or gynocratic nations) Our Ministresses of Defense, Science/Research, and Culture, are opposed to the revolution. Ministress of Culture Iola Kamuzu responded to word of the Revolution with an exasperated sigh, a hand to the face, and a moderately lengthy speech about how the core tenets that lead to the revolution "all men are privileged, therefore all men oppress women by existing" is complete and utter bullshit, and that they should just look at Caelestiam to see prove against their claims.

Given sour relations with Isla Sagradas, by extension this "revolution" makes us hostile, but nowhere near the verge of war. Do not try to stop any emigrants from leaving your country, or else we're going to have a bit of a problem that might involve the military or our intelligence agencies. Feel free to open up contact with our government at any time to discuss this matter, but you're going to have to be speaking with an oppressive male shitlord. Then again you can always demand to speak with one of the Ministresses in the Council. So hopefully you aren't opposed to non-humans, because we don't have any female humans in the Council.
I do NOT use NS STATS. Please refer to my factbooks here: http://www.nationstates.net/nation=caelestiam/detail=factbook for information.
