Is Your Nation Moral?

[The Rapture Republic]

No. This is Rapture, since when is the scientist censored by morality?

[The Land of the Ephyral]

This is entirely subjective.

There is no such thing as universally moral.

[Danceria]

Hmm... we're sort of a "pre-WWII" sort of morality. Quite nationalistic, with a libertarian monarchy. Our country values the ancient traditions and our religion, but politically, we're pretty liberitarian. We're down with fascism in most sense, as it was the transitional govt between the old Telcontar dynasty to the current House of Elurin (Roughly 40 years), and even then, Dancerian fascism is rather...liberal.

To those who inhabit the top right (authoritarian-conservative), we're "aight", but the local govts often have more sway over the day to day lives of the citizens rather than the King. The Libertarians don't like our roads, mild mixed markets, and slight nationalism, but we have guns...

However, the left think we're varying degrees of hitler.

[Isola Serenissima]

If by "moral" you mean socially conservative, not at all. You'd be hard-pressed to find another nation as liberal on drugs and sex as we are.

[Coconut Palm Island]

We are "immoral" in that we allow drug use, abortion, and don't have a national religion. However, we believe that letting people make their own choices is the right and moral thing do.

However, we consider ourselves moral. We accept any and all refugees who come to our shores, try to help other countries, and try to create a safety net so that no one goes without things like food, water, and housing.

Our government is not "moral" because we force our citizens to do what some people believe is right. We are moral because we lead by example.

[New Emeline]

Not by your standards certainly.

[Victorious Decepticons]

"It all depends on how you define 'moral'..." *Leader Megatron's eyes glow with...mischief? Malice? An impending connive? It's hard to tell.*

"In some cultures, 'morality' is a matter of restraining your sexual desires, dressing in ways meant to avoid triggering the biological reproductive drive, not cursing, avoiding intoxication, avoiding homosexual acts, being humble, and things like that. By THAT definition, we are - with the exception of cursing, and our complete lack of humility - probably one of the most 'moral' nations you'll find. After all, as asexual robots, we never have to worry about sexual 'sins' of any sort."

"Then again, there are those other cultures. Where 'morality' is about being non-conniving, charitable, merciful, non-aggressive, and in a word - DIMWITTED and WEAK! If that is your definition, then you would think we were the most immoral nation around!"

"Of course, OUR definition of morality is neither of those. WE believe that it is immoral to pass up the opportunity to defeat an opponent in a battle of wits, so we praise the conniver, the counterfeiter, the battle strategist, and the tactician, all with great gusto and without condemnation. We're a warrior's society, so non-aggression is anathema to us too, and promoting pacifism is outright considered treason and rightly carries the death penalty. We have no prisons, because here, disputes are settled by battle, as is proper in a warrior culture!"

"We also believe that humble people are that way for the simple reason that they have nothing to brag about. Needless to say, that makes it very moral for a Decepticon to brag, for who wants others to think they have nothing about themselves worthy of boasting of - or even worse, that the entire Decepticon Race and its Nation are nothing to brag about?! We never trust a humble bot, for behind his meekly-downturned faceplate lies a traitor to the Decepticon Way itself!"

"Patriotism, nationalism, and speciesism are all considered Good in our view as well. These things naturally result from being the best nation and the best species in the universe. To think of our great Nation and Species as things not worthy of extreme pride, confidence and boasts is outright ideological treason! It is also a sign of mental deficiency, to the point that if we catch someone spouting anti-national or egalitarian nonsense, we will often have them examined for glitches at Debugging before passing a judgment of treason against them. It is just that obvious that we are the best that you'd have to have errors to not see it, especially if you are one of us and therefore have nothing to gain by denying it. Still, if no errors are found even by the experts, then saying that we are no better than other nations and peoples is Cultural Treason and you will be dealt with accordingly by being dropped into the nearest smelting pit so that your Metal can be reused by PROPER Decepticons."

"I'm sure you can guess that with this cultural basis, we also think it is good to constantly expand our empire. We are very imperialistic, and that is how it *should* be. We are the superiors, as proven by our conquest, so it just stands to reason that the conquered must obey us. Anything else would be illogical."

"So. We believe that we are quite moral. Hardly anyone in our Nation refuses the Decepticon Way. I have the feeling that you might not agree that this is moral, but that's fine. People who believe in non-aggression, humility, and related things are weak and easy to conquer, so go on thinking that way if you want to..." *Megatron grins menacingly* "And I'm sure you'll understand why I will never let such weakness-inducing ideas take root in MY nation."

"Then again, maybe you are the first type of moralist, who is only concerned with matters of sex and other traits that are basically irrelevant to us. In that case, you would likely see our culture as a great example of how to live - and in return be allowed to visit Cybertron - though you may be offended by the number of people who will tell you to get your priorities right and stop worrying about biological reproduction so much. It does, after all, run just fine on its own, as evidenced by your non-endangered status as a species."

~Megatron, Leader of the Decepticons

[Rhodevus]

Rhodevus is moral when it suits us. We are recognized for being a friendly and compassionate nation, always helping the downtrodden, but we still have our fair share of immoral deeds.

[Radiatia]

Radiatians consider knowing the difference between your and you're a matter of morality.

In all seriousness, no, not at all - Radiatians value efficiency and morality is considered inefficient in extreme. Most Radiatians would happily step over their own mother's corpse if it meant getting ahead in life or meant getting rich.

[New Yeeia]

Considering how we drop Kill-Bots into third world countries, I'd say that's a no.

[Amboda]

Of course. Traditional morality is extremely important to the people of Amboda and we strive to maintain public decency at all costs. In fact details of the alleged immoral conduct of former NDP candidate for Governor Edward Nheme Phillips was enough to completely swing the election against him, resulting in the NLP candidate winning a landslide despite his previous disadvantages in the polls.

[Gospel Power]

Religion plays a huge part in our Fascist government

[Constitutional Technocracy of Minecraft]

By our (very socially liberal) standards, we're pretty moral.

By religious/socially conservative standards, we're very immoral (we're 92% irreligious)

By authoritarian standards, we're very immoral (well, we're a direct democracy)

[Pantopian Empire]

We don't have any state religion or morality structure, so by most standards no. However, we do generally follow the UN declaration of human rights.

[Fatatatutti]

Our morality is not dictated by gods or other alien overlords. We just try to treat other people as we would like them to treat us.

[Gig em Aggies]

We are most definitely immoral since we erase lesser civilizations from existence then we repopulate the planet with our own kind to expand the borders of our massive empire.

[The Greater Siriusian Domain]

I like to think we're one of the "good guy" nations. However, as an entirely secular society that doesn't officially recognize religions at all, some highly religious nations would argue otherwise. As an interstellar space-faring confederacy, some staunchly nationalistic independent world-nations might say otherwise. As a generally liberal-libertarian leaning nation, some more authoritarian conservative nations may say otherwise. And as a nation that maintains an active military and allows civilians to arm them selves for metaphoric polar bear to defend themselves when outside controlled areas, many staunchly pacifistic nations would say otherwise.

So, in a lot of ways, it's entirely subjective. But in the most basic "don't harm others except in self defense, and don't be an ass" definition of morality, the Greater Siriusian Domain definitely qualifies as moral.

[Ingensterra]

It depends on what you'd consider moral. Moral in humanitarian affairs? Yes. In civil and political rights? Yes. But we also have one of the larger black markets in existence and the government doesn't do much to stop it. So not always.

[Victorious Decepticons]

You should do like us. In our nation, immorality is a crime. So we lock up thieves, murders, sex offenders, etc. Some things we don't know what God the Highest or the other Gods feel about it, so the priests and priestess smoke marijuana to find out how God the Highest feels about it.

Divine Leader Megatron is much better found by bathing in the light of monitors or by expertly flying F-16s. Or you can just download a copy of An Introduction to the Decepticon Way [for Immigrants] to find out 99% of what he wants.

Better yet, become a vassal state of Victorious Decepticons, and you'll be all but part of our glorious Empire. You say that your god would abandon you if you were "immoral..." Divine Leader Megatron will gladly adopt you if you decide you've had enough of the sort of "morality" that is actually just wimpishness with PR on top.

[Incantata Phantasia]

Defining morality in general terms as "the existence of good and evil, and the preference of the first over the last", I would not say that Phantasia is moral.
The government does a lot of nice things around the world, but this is only their job and a lot of the top members of government actually are cynical about it, and work for their own personal purposes and honor. The nice things we do also are usually justified by pragmatic reasons, and we are not above hiring mercenaries behind the curtains to amend loose ends.
About the people, I do not think that they are much different from any other people of the world, in essence, both good and evil, but above all flawed and contradictory. Maybe we express and reason in our own chaotic way, but matters of good and evil are more likely to be defined by status quo and reciprocity than anything else.

[Mangahhan Super Region]

We are morally moral nation.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

There was a time when we were a moral and righteous nation.

That time has passed, dissolved in the fires of a brutal Civil War and the suspension of the Constitution. However, it will come back, we will again be moral and, eventually, there truly will be peace.

[Tinhampton]

HELL YEAH! (whilst downing a pint of 15% ABV Tinner's Brew and attempting to climb onto the shoulders of a random bloke)

[The Atlantean Islands]

Our nation has only the basic morals (e.g. respect the rights of others, do not kill) and a few advanced morals on its laws. Most of the advanced morals (e.g. on LGBT) are not applied, as it is for the individual, not the government, to be the judge of that.

We, however, see liberalism as moral and the opposite as mostly amoral.

[Sicaris]

I don't think a nation with superweapons and willingness to use chemical weapons is really moral, so to say, so probably not....
