This nation reflects some of my political views but not all of them.
I guess I use NSStats for some stuff, however my own thoughts take priority.

Does your nation's constitution and/or current law protect the following human rights?

The Kiravian constitution (Fundamental Statute) addresses only the structure and powers of the federal government. A separate instrument, the Statute of Liberties, describes the civil liberties enjoyed by the people. Individual states have their own Statutes of Liberties, which generally resemble the federal version, but often include additional rights or differ in wording or points of detail.

Freedom of information: No
Right to bear arms: Upheld by current law and practice, and protected by state Statutes of Liberties in 67 states.
Freedom of speech: Yes
Freedom of association: Yes
Freedom of movement: Current law upholds the right of Kiravian nationals to travel freely between Kiravian states.
Freedom of assembly: Yes
Freedom from arbitrary arrest: Yes
Freedom of religion: Yes
Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment: Yes, the SL prohibits "disproportionate, retributive, or debilitating punishment".
Freedom of thought: Yes, this is the first right listed in the SL.
Right of self-defense: Upheld by Kulskiálda, the body of legal customs, principles, and maxims that underlie Kiravian law.
Right to food: No
Right to form a labor union: Covered under freedom of association and assembly.
Right to clothing: No
Right of asylum: No
Right to housing: No
Right to internet access: No
Right to work: Upheld in practice
Right to property: Yes
Freedom from discrimination: No
Freedom from exile: No. Banishment remains an available, if rarely used, penalty for certain crimes.
Freedom from slavery: Yes.
Right to die: No. Voluntary euthanasia is banned throughout the Federacy.
Right to water: Some state constitutions do address water rights, but most do not.
Right to a fair trial: Yes
Right to a lawyer: Yes
Right to life: Yes
Right to refuse medical treatment: Strongly upheld by kulskiálda and practice, but not explicitly addressed.
Right to petition: Upheld in practice, but not explicitly addressed. Some jurists believe it is covered under freedom of expression.
Right to protest: Covered under freedom of expression and assembly.
Right to privacy: There is no blanket right to privacy under Kiravian law. There are, however, legal norms under kulskiálda that establish respect for privacy as a general principle. The Statute of Liberties protects persons, buildings, and documents (including digital files) from unwarranted search, seizure, and intrusion. Almost all states now have explicit rights to genetic and medical privacy, and a proposal to add genetic privacy to the federal Statute of Liberties is in the works.

As a good liberal capitalist democracy, the Constitution of the League of the Six Free Peoples guarantees each of the above mentioned rights and freedoms. However, in practice the situation is quite different, as the League government is not the real power, but rather the neckbeard cartel La Cosa Fedora is the true rulers, guiding the progress of political and economic events from the shadows, or sometimes not even hidden in the shadows.
Ask us anything!

Join MENINFORM today! Or that's not your style, issue a formal condemnation!

Our state, the League of the Six Free Peoples, is actually controlled by a cartel of neckbeards known as La Cosa Fedora. Members of the cartel are known as Honorable Gentlesirs. Citizens who are not members are known as normies.

Our armed forces are armies of the radicalized romanceless.

Do you fear us yet? If not, have some anti-neckbeard propaganda!

The Eternal Empire Of The Ephyral Race

Ael Khālanī - Ael Rēlāmaerkys - Ael Ascanda


Issue of Dispute: Does your nation's constitution and/or current law protect the following human rights?




This questionnaire has been adapted into the official documentation of the Ephyral Empire by the Pyramid of External Affairs via the Ministry of National Information.

  • Freedom of information: ❖ The Government reserves the right to refrain from disclosing information it believes may cause a national disturbance. National security is placed higher than public interest, backed by the generalisation that the public have little interest.

  • Right to bear arms: ❖ It is illegal for Freeholders of the Eternal Empire of Ephyra to own firearms.

  • Freedom of speech: ❖ With regulation, a Freeholder is free to say whatever s/he desires. However, personal slander, defamation or verbal assault against the Imperial Family, high level nobility or members of Government will be prosecuted.

  • Freedom of association: ❖ As long as the association is not branded a terrorist organisation, then yes. Otherwise associates are subject to arrest.

  • Freedom of movement: ❖ It is currently illegal for average citizens of most foreign nations, and Freeholders of the Empire, to travel to and from Ephyra. All but one nation that the Empire shares a land border with is hostile to the Empire; and their peoples branded as enemies of the throne.

  • Freedom of assembly: ❖ Regulated, but otherwise legal.

  • Freedom from arbitrary arrest: ❖ Depends on the state of unrest the region you are arrested in is. Typically no, but in uncertain times such as war or civil unrest, police are warranted to perform such arrests.

  • Freedom of religion: ❖ All practising members of religions that are not the Red Faith of Issalor must pay an aversion tax which is used on public works. Refusal to pay this tax and continuing to worship will brand an individual as a heretic, to which the Inquisition will arrest, try and execute them for heresy.

  • Freedom from cruel and unusual punishment: ❖ On the contrary, 'cruel and unusual' punishment is the standard for Ephyral justice. The belief is that swift, physical justice is more effective than being locked away. Thieves have hands removed, adulterers are publicly shamed, male rapists are castrated without anaesthetic and female rapists are raped themselves as but a few examples of Ephyral punishment.

  • Freedom of thought: ❖ Evidently. Ephyra has no mean to regulate thought, thus this clause is not even in our equivalent of the constitution.

  • Right of self-defence: ❖ Yes. If a man (or woman) is at risk of losing their life to an assailant, and the only method of survival is thereby ending the life of an attacker, Ephyral law permits you to take that life by any means at your disposal, recognising the life of the defendant as superior to that of the attacker. If however, the attacker was found to be just in their attack, and the defendant killed them, the defendant may face legal repercussions, but not that matching of murder.

  • Right to food: ❖ No. A man or woman has no more right to material sustenance than they are able to obtain.

  • Right to form a labor union: ❖ No. Such acts are considered to be the first step towards insurrection and corruption.

  • Right to clothing: ❖ No. Clothing is much more of a wealth and display statement than any actual desire to mask one's self. Due to the high temperature, the encouraged sexual promiscuity and the innate sexual appetites of your typical Ephyral, clothing is very much optional with many lower class members of society opting for total or partial nudity - nobility tend to wear clothes solely to show off the wealth of their family, though women still typically go bare breasted due to breasts being recognised only as an erotic part of the body and not a sexual organ. These include the women of the Imperial family. Slaves, barring those in a particular line of work, are typically nude so their brands and status as a slave are visible for all to see. No man, woman or child has an inherent right to articles of clothing in the Empire.

  • Right of asylum: ❖ No. Ephyra does not accept refugees or asylum seekers into its borders, which isn't deemed a problem because few would choose the Eternal Empire to escape to.

  • Right to housing: ❖ Again no. The ownership of a house or other dwelling is earned, not deserved. A typical Freeholder will own a House, nobles will have larger abodes. Slaves are expected to reside on their owner's property, but whether that is inside or outside the house itself depends on the owner. Those unable to afford a home can pay to spend the night in a brothel, or otherwise stay out on the streets.

  • Right to internet access: ❖ Not a right, but most people have it regardless.

  • Right to work (bars the government from forcing labor union participation): ❖ Slaves are forced to work, either for their owners or in certain professions. Everyone else has the right also. Those who don't work may be questioned as to why.

  • Right to property: ❖ As with housing, no.

  • Freedom from discrimination: ❖ No. Women should expect a certain level of discrimination and prejudice, being recognised as objects to slake sexual desire upon and look appealing. For noble Lady Freeholders, this isn't considered a problem. Their lives are simple, and they get to enjoy the finer aspects of life in return for occasionally appearing on their husbands arm and submitting to them in bed at the desire of their husband. For Freeholder women, it is more of an issue, as those who desire to achieve high positions in a business can do so, but will find it harder than a man to reach the top. There are also minimal laws protecting them from sexual harassment. In Ephyra there is a general ideology of if you can't defend yourself, why should the law. Women are educated as girls on their 'role' in society, and most grown women come to expect a little sexual harassment, and by the time they become knowledgeable of how things work, it isn't even considered harassment. On top of this, due to how it isn't illegal to use methods at your disposal to reach higher positions, some women are offered and accept proposals of higher positions in a corporation in return for sexual acts. Other individuals discriminated are foreigners, particularly women, and slaves. Foreigners are seen as little use (the term foreigner denotes anyone not of Ephyral or honorary Ephyral recognition), other than to work in the jobs too low for Ephyral, but too good for slaves. Foreign men may find that their highest ability of employment is waste disposal, or street cleaning, whilst women will be lucky to find anywhere other than a brothel willing to offer them employment. Slaves are discriminated against the most harshly for being weak.

  • Freedom from exile: ❖ No. Anyone from Ephyra may be 'exiled' at any time, though typically if such an offence has been committed, the individual or group may just be reduced to slavery.

  • Freedom from slavery: ❖ As evidence already no. Most slaves today are the descendants from previous slaves, mixed with those taken prisoner in war, those stripped of status and holdings, those found sympathising with terrorist organisations and more. No race is immune from slavery. Even the Ephyral who deem themselves superior may find themselves on the receiving end of the whip, forced to work in whatever their master orders them to. Ephyral slaves are the most expensive; men are often trained as gladiators and women as sex slaves, and often coupled to produce yet more Ephyral slaves. 2/3rds of all men, women and children residing within the Empire are property, owned by someone or something.

  • Right to die: ❖ Yes. Anyone may end their life legally by heading to a Temple of the Flame and engaging the services of a Daughter of Silence. A drink will be offered that numbs the body and slows the heart to a stop, allowing a peaceful and swift death.

  • Right to water: ❖ This is considered a right to all but slaves. Public fountains allow for drinking from by all members of society, so even the homeless and destitute may find refreshment.

  • Right to a fair trial: ❖ Not so much a right as a practice. The Ephyral are intelligent, and understand that the correct punishment cannot be handed out if the trial is biased. Therefore a fair trial is ensured as more of an honour policy than any sort of right on either the defendant's or the prosecutor's behalf.

  • Right to a lawyer: ❖ Yes. For the same reason as above, not so much a right as it is a practice.

  • Right to life: ❖ No. The Ephyral believe no person anywhere has the inherent right to live or exist.

  • Right to refuse medical treatment: ❖ Yes, though such a decisions is controversial and requires satisfactory justification.

  • Right to petition: ❖ Yes.

  • Right to protest: ❖ Peacefully, yes.

  • Right to privacy: ❖ Until that privacy is considered forfeit due to law violations, then yes.
