Yes. All major religious texts are available from communal centres and libraries, or requisionable from such.

9) How well-educated or knowledgeable would you say your country's citizens are on talmudic scripture?

Most would have a base knowledge of Judaic texts and practices (i.e. know the story behind holidays such as Hannukah) and those who elect to do religious studies in highschool might even read some Judaic texts.

Yes.

11) Is Judaism a protected religious belief system by your country's legal system or constitution?

Just as much as any other.

12) Does your country's educational institutions offer courses on Judaism as literature or as part of theology majors?

As an abrahamic religion, it is first covered in first-year religious studies. Courses in specifically Judaism are offered in tertiary education and one can major in Judaic Theology. Rabbinic apprenticeships are offered to Judaic people and one can elect to pursue employment as a Judaic chaplain during Civil Service and in the military. Naturally, Judaic scripture also appears commonly in Hebrew courses.

13) How well-received is the religion of Judaism taken by members of the Jewish communities within your country?

Most adherents to Judaism in Australia would be described as belonging to groups within the bracket of Reform Judaism, with a minority of Conservative Judaism and Karaites. Messianic Judaics and Nazarenes are generally counted as Christians.

14) How well-received is the religion of Judaism taken by members of the gentile (non-Jewish) communities within your country?

One's choices of spirituality or religion, of any kind, are generally respected. anti-Semitism is rare.

15) Are there any openly Jewish worshippers in your country's government, military, police forces, or emergency first-responders?

Judaic communities in Australia work with international Judaic organisations, such as the WUPJ.

No.

Jewish Ethnicity
1) Are there any racial Jews in your country?

Yes.

3) Are racial Jews a demographic majority or minority within your country?

Very much a minority.

4) Are your country's citizens, especially gentile (non-Jewish) citizens, familar with the different types of Jews that exist? (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Hasidic, Ethiopian, Mizrahi, etc.)

Generally speaking, yes.

5) How well-received is the ethnicity of the Jewish people taken by members of the gentile population in your country?

One's ethnicity in Australia is generally well received in any case.

6) What is the native term for "a racial Jew" in your country's language?

The catch-all is 'Hebrew', but otherwise the normal English terms are used.

7) Are racial Jews a protected people by your country's legal system or constitution?

Just as much as any racial minorities, yes.

8) How many of each division of racial Jews exist in your country?

Most Australic Judaics are Ashkenazim (~60-75%), whilst the remainder are almost all Sephardim and Mizrahim (percentages vary based on definition, but together ~17-24%) and Hasidim (~11-16%). Teimanim and Italkim are the only other statistically significant groups, though each accounts for only about 1-2% of Australic Judaics.

9) Are there any all-Jewish schools, gyms, campgrounds, social clubs, and so forth in your country?

As aforementioned, segregated schools and other services are illegal. Some groups, such as Judaic culture clubs and groups associated with synagogues, are by nature made up entirely of Judaic membership. There is a famous theatre in Melbourne which screens only Judaic films, television, plays, and documentaries, and every major Judaic community operates its own radio and newspaper. Judaic children generally have the option to attend extracurricular religious classes at their local synagogue which are also generally all-Judaic.

10) Are there any Jewish-only schools, gyms, campgrounds, social clubs, and so forth in your country?

As above.

11) Does your country feature any racial Jews in social media promotions, radio broadcasts, television advertisements, or email marketing campaigns?

Social media is not well developed in Australia, but Judaic people can be found in broadcast media.

12) How much does the average Jewish person in your country know about the ethnic history of the Jewish race?

The courses for Judaic children, and most will undertake this aforementioned extracurricular education, are self-regulated by Rabbis comprising a special committee within each state's State Consolidated Syndicate for Academics, which reports back to the states' C.S.A. General Assemblies. As such, the subject matter and depth - especially being an extracurricular course - are varying depenging on what the Rabbis want to teach, or are asked to teach by parents.

13) How much does the average gentile person in your country know about the ethnic history of the Jewish race?

Those who study ancient history or religion in secondary and tertiary education will generally know a decent amount about pre-Christian Judaic history. Mediaeval and Modern history students may chose to study the Judaic history of these periods.

14) On average, are the racial Jews in your country broke, poor, working-class, or rich?

Income equality is very high in Australia, and there are few to no capitalistic class distinctions in its society.

15) Are there any racial Jews in your country's government, military, police forces, or emergency first-responders?

As answered regarding religious Judaics.

16) What percentage of your country's gentiles have befriended a racial Jew before?

The government does not track friendships as part of its census.

17) What percentage of your country's Jews have befriended a fellow racial or religious Jew before?

As above, but presemably a higher rate than Judaics and Gentiles.

18) What are the typical political beliefs of your country's racial Jews?

Judaic voters tend to lean towards the Labor Party, rather than the Industrial Socialist Party or Country Party, out of the three main parties. Surprisingly, perhaps, the second most popular party are the Christian Social Democrats, followed by the I.S.P. and then the Green Party.

19) What do racial Jews typically look like in your country? (Eye color, hair color, height, weight, etc.)

This would differ between the various ethnic divisions, of course, and would be congruent with the average in reality.

20) Is your country's leader a racial Jew?

One of the Prime Minister's Great-Great-Great Grandparents was Ashkenazim, but that wouldn't likely qualify him as a 'racial Judaic'.

21) Is your country's leader friendly, neutral, or hostile to racial Jews?

The Prime Minister is assuredly not a racist.

22) What kind of job does the typical racial Jew have in your country?

Most Judaics work in urban occupations, such as in administrative and educational positions, as most Jewish communities are quite close to their metropolitan centres. The jobs with the highest number of Judaics are (in order) clerks, storepersons, bus drivers, judicians, teachers, musicians, writers, tradespersons, militia, and restauranteurs.

23) What kind of lifestyle does the typical racial Jew have in your country?

Most Judaics live quite close to their metropolitan centre, and as such would tend to live an urban lifestyle.

24) Does your country's government or private citizens work with Jewish civil rights organizations abroad?

This is quite likely.

25) Does your country do much research on racial Jews as a distinct group?

Perhaps in a medical-genetic sense, but otherwise not really.

26) Is there anything else notable that you'd like to add in regards to racial Jews and your country?

No.

No. Generally, hate speech is prosecuted.

3) If the answer to Question #1 is No, can you describe what the possible punishments are that exist in your country for general hate speech?

Our criminal justice system is primarily rehabilitative so the sanction would generally be some form of corrective education, restitutional public service, and the social stigma of being prosecuted for being vitriolic.

4) If the answer to Question #2 is No, can you describe what the possible punishments are that exist in your country for specifically antisemitic hate speech?

There are no specific differences in punishment for anti-Semitic hate speech, though the input of local Judaics may play into the sanction.

5) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country support laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech?

Federal free speech laws are ubiquitously supported in their current 'speak your mind within reason, but don't complain if you are derrided for having a bad take or making unsubstantiated claims' sense, and the reduction of protections against hate speech would be disfavored by an absolute majority of citizens, including Judaic citizens.

6) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country oppose laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech?

As above.

7) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country support laws that restrict freedom of speech, including general hate speech?

Almost always.

20) Amongst Questions 13-18, how often are such incidents violent?

As above.

21) How does/do your country's leader/leaders usually respond to these incidents?

1

23) On a scale of 1-10, how antisemitic would you describe your country's subservient leaders? (1 = Not Antisemitic, 10 = Extremely Antisemitic)

1-2

24) Does your country have an infamous reputation for having had antisemitic ideologies, philosophy, activities, etc. in the past?

There was once a fascist party, though that never gained very much traction, and some early (pre-federation to revolution-era) political and cultural personalities were known to hold anti-Semitic beliefs.

25) Does your country have an infamous reputation for having antisemitic ideologies, philosophy, activities, etc. in the present?

No.

26) Is your country's society familiar with major antisemitic events that have happened throughout world history, such as the Crusades, Pogroms of 1391, the Holocaust, etc.?

Such anti-Semitic historical events are well known and understood through the lens of class warfare. The Holocaust never happened in our history, as it diverges during the Great War.

27) Speaking of antisemitic events, is Holocaust-denial or unacceptance of any other related events common or does it even occur in your country?

The Holocaust, as mentioned above, did not occur in our timeline, and generally denial of anti-Semitism runs counter to the nation's ideology.

28) If the answer to Question #27 applies, can you explain such an incidence that has happened or would happen?

-

29) Is antisemitism the most prominent form of prejudice that takes place in your country?

No. Whilst discrimination is rare, the most common discrimination occurs against Indonesiatic, Filipino, and other East-Asiatic peoples, and Americans. Transphobia is also reported more commonly than anti-Semitism.

Yes.

39) In your country, are there such things as Affirmative Action, multicultural programs, or diversity quotas that may give Jews an advantage in gaining positions of power and influence, which may cause resentment or backlash?

No. Affirmative action is seen as a poor solution for addressing generational inequity, compared to others, and would be largely redundant in the present day anyway. It is banned as a form of discrimination.

40) If there are any such things as mentioned from Question #39 in your country, are the Jewish and non-Jewish communities mostly supportive, neutral, or against them?

-

— Is there anything else you would like to mention, detail, or admit? Antisemitism is interpreted as prejudice and/or hostility against Jewish people. The government does not support Israel in its conflict with Palestine and condemns its violence against Palestinian civilians. Many citizens are also not supportive of the Israeli government. None of these are considered antisemitism.

The Teimanim, Mizrahim, Sephardim, Ashkenazim, Kalim, Ethiopian, Cochinim, and even the tiny Lita'im all have their rabbi-led communities scattered about, however the dominant Jewish group, the Pinonim reject the position of the rabbi similar to the Karaim.

One of the five - the tiebreaker, is mandated to be a Doshidin priest, but only votes after consultation with the parliamentary leader of each of the autonomous region, including the Jewish one - who is usually a practicing Jew.

OOC- Any other states presenting themselves as representing all or part of the nation of Tropico from the series of City Builders are not operated by me nor are they canon to Estado de Tropico's lore. The existence of such states as have been founded on or after the 18th of October 2021, seemingly in response to my activity, have done so without my consent, but are permitted to do so by virtue of Tropico as a general country not being the unique and original intellectual property of any NS player. Nonetheless, their existence, being conflicting with my own, should be interpreted as taking place in a separate universe, as Nation States is multiversal, and no claims of accomplishing or attempting secession or other seizure of power from or by Estado de Tropico are true.

Postby Victorious Decepticons » Sat Nov 06, 2021 6:27 pm

Your Nation: The Empire of Victorious Decepticons
Current Leader: Megatron
Type of Leadership: Dictator
Government Type: Autocratic Military Dictatorship
Economic System: Mixed - 95% Capitalism
Unit System: Other - Cybertronian
Date Founded: Decepticon Year 1 (953 years ago)
State Religion: Megatronism

General
1) How culturally diverse or homogenous would you say your country is? 100 homogenous. We are all Decepticons. Any other creatures living here, such as humans, are slaves and not counted as citizens
2) How ethnically and/or racially diverse or homogenous would you say your country is? 100% homogenous; if you are not a Decepticon robot, you are not of our country (though you may be owned by a citizen thereof).
3) Is your country's society more individualist or collectivist? Individualist!
4) What are the core values of your country's people and national identity? Decepticons are the Ultimate Lifeform, destined to someday rule the universe; might makes right, and among other things, this means that it's our right to raid other planets of their resources; weakness is not to be coddled, but destroyed; if you can come up with a con that works, it means you're smarter than the other guy - and that's a good thing; mental weakness is as bad as physical weakness; everyone must support the Nation at all times (so, we are fervently patriotic as well as nationalistic); and of course it's normal and legal to blast those who piss you off. Among many other things!
5) How would you rate the percentages of overall inclusiveness and exclusiveness for your people?
– (Inclusiveness) .01%
– (Exclusiveness) 99.999%, and we're going to get that glitched guy who's the .01 and either delete him or take him to Debugging!
6) How does the citizen population view foreigners, immigration, multiculturalism, and the global community? Foreigners are inferior and so are their cultures. Immigration requires risking one's life, not only to prove that you're serious, but to ensure that we don't let any weaklings in! We also make would-be immigrants take multiple psych tests to prove that they are Decepticons-in-Spirit, because we are NOT wrecking our glorious culture with any "multiculturalism" trash. Finally, you must be mind-transferred to a real Decepticon body to complete your immigration. If you're not willing to do that, go away or we'll enslave you. Either you become a Decepticon both in body and in mind, or you GTFO. Assuming you're lucky enough to GTFO, to somewhere other than a mine.

Also, we think any culture that thinks there is a "global" community, indicating a focus on just one planet (and on having to work with other nations because they are too puny or lily-livered to do things on their own), is primitive - and therefore, an excellent raid target!

Societal Awareness
1) How knowledgeable are your country's citizens on races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, and lifestyles that differ from their own? We know that aliens are generally helpless when giant 100-foot-tall war robots from space land on them and either raid them or take over their planets, and that many species make decent slave laborers. That's all most of us are interested in learning about inferiors.
2) What is the average level of education amongst your citizens? Very high, just not about puny alien species. As sapient robots, we know that having high technological knowledge is essential to survival and reproduction, and many of us have other interests, as well. When you can become a genius just by installing enough CPUs and RAM modules, there is really no reason to be ignorant about things of interest (other than the cost of the most-advanced Educational Data Packs).
3) Does international travel and tourism interest your citizens very much? We're always going to other planets! We're not usually going for tourism, though. We go offworld to raid their oil.
4) What percentage of your citizens regularly travel as tourists abroad? 1% or so. Maybe 10% intend to just be tourists, but when they see the refineries only "defended" by a few puny humans (or similar species) that have pistols at best, temptation gets the better of them and then it's just another raid!
5) What percentage of your citizens have never traveled or toured outside their native country? ...(*whispers to an aide* How many kids are here?) We don't know, but every adult has been off of this planet to raid at least once. It's a rite of passage for social adulthood!
6) From which source does your people get the most information about different places in the world? "THE" world?!? *Peals of mocking laughter erupt* Perhaps we should invade you - then you'll realize the importance of at least some of the other planets that are all around you!

(Knowledge about the multi-world Decepticon Empire is included in the installed Standard Educational Data Pack, which is installed just prior to activation.)
7) What percentage of your citizens know 1 or more foreign languages? 5% at best. We can communicate with aliens easily enough by pointing our blasters at them with one arm, and gesticulating with the other hand.
8) What is the most practiced religion in your country amongst its citizens? Megatronism. It's mandatory.
9) Are the people in your country more open or closed to new experiences? It depends on the category of experiences!
10) How much of the citizen population regularly consumes foreign foods, enjoys foreign media, and listens to foreign music? Maybe 1% of the few immigrants we let in are not yet fully assimilated.

Judaism
1) Is the Jewish faith practiced in your country? No
2) How many, if there are any, Jewish communities exist within your country? None.
3) How common is it to see synagogues around your country's cities? Unheard of.
4) What percentage of your country's citizens have visited a synagogue? Less than 1%. A few hear about some sort of special lamp oil (the oil from the Hanukkah story) and try to raid a synagogue due to mistaking it for CRUDE oil. Some poor terrified rabbi then has to convince them that the temple is not a refinery.
5) What percentage of your country's citizens have never been to a synagogue? 99.999%
6) Are Jewish holidays such as Passover and Hannukah celebrated in your country? No.
7) Are there any Jewish hospitals, schools, gated residences, libraries, or temples in your country? No. The only gated residences here have rich guys or politicians in them. If it's politicians, watch out for the SAMs.
8) Does your country have the Talmud available in whichever language the people read, write, and speak? You'd have to do a whole lot of looking to find any non-Megatronist religious texts here!!! It could be seen as blasphemy against Megatronism if it seems like your interest is more than stuffy scholarship (same goes for any non-Megatronist teachings or holy books) But this IS Victorious Decepticons, so if you have the right connections...
9) How well-educated or knowledgeable would you say your country's citizens are on talmudic scripture? Not at all. It's just another foreign religion. A few might manage to connect it with Earth, from before we took over that planet.
10) Are there any practicing rabbis in your country? No.
11) Is Judaism a protected religious belief system by your country's legal system or constitution? NO. Only Megatronism is protected.
12) Does your country's educational institutions offer courses on Judaism as literature or as part of theology majors? No. We don't allow "theology majors" except for Megatronism.
13) How well-received is the religion of Judaism taken by members of the Jewish communities within your country? We don't allow separate "communities" within our country. There is but one community, and that is the Decepticon Nation.
14) How well-received is the religion of Judaism taken by members of the gentile (non-Jewish) communities within your country? Like all other religions practiced by puny humans, it is not regarded well.
15) Are there any openly Jewish worshippers in your country's government, military, police forces, or emergency first-responders? No. It is illegal to openly worship any other than Divine Leader Megatron.
16) Is your country's leader a practicing Jew? No, he's a Megatronist!
17) Is your country's leader supportive, neutral, or opposed to Judaism? Megatron opposes all competition.
18) Does your country's government or private citizens work with Jewish religious organizations abroad? The government, no. Our "fine businesspeople" (syndicates) and other enterprising sorts? Maybe, it depends on whether there's any money in it!
19) Does your country recognize Israel or any other supposed Jewish state that may exist? There are no such things in our timeline. When we took over Earth, we took over ALL OF IT.
20) Is there anything else notable that you'd like to add in regards to Judaism and your country?

Jewish Ethnicity
1) Are there any racial Jews in your country? We don't know. Are they good at survivalism? Because we do have a few tiny groups of 10-20 "wild" humans on Decepticon Earth who managed to evade our attempts to genetically engineer them into Human 2.0 through 5.0. However, we never surveyed what kind these humans are, beyond noticing that some groups are different colors than others.
2) Are racial Jews a demographic majority or minority within your country? Minority. The only place they might even exist is somewhere on Decepticon Earth, in the forests where we don't bother to chase them.
3) Are your country's citizens, especially gentile (non-Jewish) citizens, familar with the different types of Jews that exist? (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Hasidic, Ethiopian, Mizrahi, etc.) No, not unless the immigrated from Earth just after we invaded it.
4) How well-received is the ethnicity of the Jewish people taken by members of the gentile population in your country? We wouldn't recognize a Jew if he was wearing a yarmulke. All we'd see is that it's a puny human. If said puny human isn't already a slave, and it comes out where we can easily get it, we'll grab it up and THEN it'll be a slave.
5) What is the native term for "a racial Jew" in your country's language? "Some kinda puny human."
6) Are racial Jews a protected people by your country's legal system or constitution? Lawl, no! Humans of all sorts officially have zero rights in our legal system!
7) How many of each division of racial Jews exist in your country? We don't even know if there are any at all! Like we said, any humans we got ahold of were genetically engineered all the way to Human 5.0. Human 5.0 isn't any pre-existing ethnicity, but a constructed genome that uses Human 1.0 (baseline) only as a foundation. You could consider our humans to be a "constructed race," if you'd like. They are constructed to be excellent, obedient slaves. They're also made to look the same, so we don't have to deal with this ethnic/racial strife bullshit that was so vexing and energy-consuming to Human 1.0.
8) Are there any all-Jewish schools, gyms, campgrounds, social clubs, and so forth in your country? No. We'd never allow any of our subjects to segregate themselves like that.
9) Are there any Jewish-only schools, gyms, campgrounds, social clubs, and so forth in your country? No; same reason as above.
10) Does your country feature any racial Jews in social media promotions, radio broadcasts, television advertisements, or email marketing campaigns? Of course not. Decepticons don't want to see puny humans in ads!
11) How much does the average Jewish person in your country know about the ethnic history of the Jewish race? N/A
12) How much does the average gentile person in your country know about the ethnic history of the Jewish race? Most of us don't know one kind of human from another, let alone their history.
13) On average, are the racial Jews in your country broke, poor, working-class, or rich? Woods-dwelling human populations are all primitive to the point that money no longer even applies to them. We don't know if any are Jewish or not.
14) Are there any racial Jews in your country's government, military, police forces, or emergency first-responders? Only Decepticon robots are allowed in any positions of authority, so no!
15) What percentage of your country's gentiles have befriended a racial Jew before? Incalculably small, because most of us have never met one! The few who have, have befriended a few at some point, but they are the ones who immigrated when we invaded Earth. No native Decepticon has ever cared enough about humans to know what version they were, before throwing them into the mines in chains!
16) What percentage of your country's Jews have befriended a fellow racial or religious Jew before? N/A
17) What are the typical political beliefs of your country's racial Jews? N/A
18) What do racial Jews typically look like in your country? N/A
19) Is your country's leader a racial Jew? NO, he's a robot from Planet Cybertron!
20) Is your country's leader friendly, neutral, or hostile to racial Jews? He couldn't care less what kind of inferior, some inferior human is.
21) What kind of job does the typical racial Jew have in your country? Humans are slaves here.
22) What kind of lifestyle does the typical racial Jew have in your country? N/A Slaves don't get to be "racial." Any new captures that still have a race are GMO'd up to Human 5.0 without any background investigation whatsoever.
23) Does your country's government or private citizens work with Jewish civil rights organizations abroad? No. "Rights" organizations are, as far as we know, all anti-dictatorial, so we return the sentiment.
24) Does your country do much research on racial Jews as a distinct group? Surprisingly, yes, mostly because we want to avoid making the same mistakes as that one Earthian guy who tried to delete 'em all and ended up deleting his own empire instead.

25) Is there anything else notable that you'd like to add in regards to racial Jews and your country? Seriously, we haven't had humans divided by races in hundreds of years! When we say there may be small tribes, we mean groups of 10-20 humans sporadically existing in forests, at best. If any group gets bigger, they also make a clearing big enough for one of us to land, and once that happens, we do land. Then we capture the oversized group and sell it into slavery. None of us have ANY idea if these humans call themselves Jews or anything else. They're just little alien slave creatures that are worth 500 Energon Cubes a pop, and a slave-hunter doesn't think about it any more than that!

Antisemitism
1) Does your country's constitution guarantee freedom of speech, including hate speech? NO. "Freedom of speech" lets anti-government types try to undermine the Nation. It is totally forbidden. But we couldn't care less about "hate speech." If "hate speech" bothers someone, we advise that they get a "thicker housing" patch at Debugging.
2) Does your country's constitution guarantee freedom from prosecution of hate speech, including antisemitic hate speech? NO
3) If the answer to Question #1 is No, can you describe what the possible punishments are that exist in your country for general hate speech? There are no such punishments. The lack of freedom of speech refers almost entirely to political speech. Anyone mad about what you might call "racist" speech can go and physically fight the speaker. The speaker, of course, will fight back. Whoever loses has to suck it up.
4) If the answer to Question #2 is No, can you describe what the possible punishments are that exist in your country for specifically antisemitic hate speech? None. Just because Megatron didn't mention this in his Speech at the Founding of the Nation, which is the closest we have to a "constitution," doesn't mean that we have (or ever will have) any punishments for dissing some small group of puny humants. It's simply that Megatron does not make decrees about things that, here, have approximately zero chance of ever being an issue.

5) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country support laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech? N/A
6) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country oppose laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech? N/A
7) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country support laws that restrict freedom of speech, including general hate speech? N/A
8) What percentage of the religious and/or racial Jews in your country oppose laws that restrict freedom of speech, including general hate speech? N/A
9) What percentage of the non-Jews in your country support laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech? To us, those are two separate categories. Freedom of speech in general is not supported. Being able to diss humans, for any or no reason, IS supported.
10) What percentage of the non-Jews in your country oppose laws that protect freedom of speech, including general hate speech? To us, those are two separate categories. Freedom of speech in general is not supported. Being able to diss humans, for any or no reason, IS supported.
11) What percentage of the non-Jews in your country support laws that restrict freedom of speech, including general hate speech? To us, those are two separate categories. Freedom of speech in general is not supported. Being able to diss humans, for any or no reason, IS supported.
12) What percentage of the non-Jews in your country oppose laws that restrict freedom of speech, including general hate speech? To us, those are two separate categories. Freedom of speech in general is not supported. Being able to diss humans, for any or no reason, IS supported.
13) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's government? N/A
14) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's military? N/A
15) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's prison system? We don't have a prison system.
16) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's educational institutions? N/A, if you are not physically able to install Educational Data Packs, you will not encounter our educational institutions.
17) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's healthcare system? N/A, our Debugging system also requires you to be able to be fixed through software patches. Humans cannot be Debugged in this way, so they do not encounter this system. A mechanic is unlikely to care what kind of a human one is, if they manage to get to Cybertron and get into the shop. But it's a mechanic, not a doctor, so going to one for your body's problems might not yield good results! He probably could figure out how to do you a cast, though, as long as he knows that pouring one on you out of molten steel is a bad idea.
18) How common are antisemitic incidents in your country's religious dwellings? Unheard of. What would be the point of doing something antisemitic in a Temple of Megatron (the only religious buildings allowed)?
19) Amongst Questions 13-18, how often are such incidents nonviolent? N/A
20) Amongst Questions 13-18, how often are such incidents violent? N/A
21) How does/do your country's leader/leaders usually respond to these incidents? N/A
22) On a scale of 1-10, how antisemitic would you describe your country's main leader? 1. Megatron really does not care - at all - about what kind of a puny human someone is.
23) On a scale of 1-10, how antisemitic would you describe your country's subservient leaders? 1. They don't care about those aliens on Resource World #1, AKA Decepticon Earth, either, other than to be glad they're not stuck way out there on that mudball.
24) Does your country have an infamous reputation for having had antisemitic ideologies, philosophy, activities, etc. in the past? No. We are equal opportunity raiders, invaders, and genociders.
25) Does your country have an infamous reputation for having antisemitic ideologies, philosophy, activities, etc. in the present? Same as above.
26) Is your country's society familiar with major antisemitic events that have happened throughout world history, such as the Crusades, Pogroms of 1391, the Holocaust, etc.? The Decepticon Military, especially the Genocide Battalion, is very knowledgeable about the Holocaust, and how Hitler was a total n00b who did everything all wrong, ending up not only losing his empire but NOT deleting his targets enough to even cause a prolonged dip in their numbers, and had an army full of weenies who didn't have the stomach to shoot their targets in the street. Soldiers are also somewhat knowledgeable about the Crusades, but thought those were mostly against Muslims. They do not know about the Pogroms of 1391, but if they did, they'd probably not think too much about it because the Decepticon Military likes to go whole hog when it decides to wipe out a population.

Whether it is fortunate for Jews, or unfortunate, we don't know - but we don't piss around looking at what kind of a human it is when we decide to blast out an entire area. Like we mentioned somewhere in the above long survey, we are equal-opportunity raiders, invaders...and genociders.

Other members of our society couldn't care less about any of these alien events that happened hundreds of light-years from us.

27) Speaking of antisemitic events, is Holocaust-denial or unacceptance of any other related events common or does it even occur in your country? No, nobody has an axe to grind about what happened on some other planet at a time when we didn't own it.
28) If the answer to Question #27 applies, can you explain such an incidence that has happened or would happen? N/A
29) Is antisemitism the most prominent form of prejudice that takes place in your country? No.
30) If the answer to Question #29 is No, then what is the most prominent form of prejudice? (Examples: Homophobia, Antigypsyism, Misogyny, etc.) Anti-Decepticon prejudice! If you're a biological, you're a weak and puny beta creature, and totally inferior. If you're a robot, but NOT a Decepticon, then you're a pile of junk with bad engineering, and also totally inferior. Basically, if you're not a Decepticon, you suck. And you should be our slave, if it's not easier to just blast you with energy fire instead.
31) Are there any anti-discrimination policies in your country that exist which forbid anti-Jewish bias with regard to hiring in the private sector? No! Humans are legally slaves. They don't have the privilege of being hired for pay at all.
32) Are there any anti-discrimination policies in your country that exist which forbid anti-Jewish bias with regard to hiring in the public sector? Absolutely not. In the public sector, all employees MUST be Decepticons.
33) May Jews serve in your country's government openly? NO. You have to be a Decepticon robot, and a Megatronist.
34) May Jews serve as soldiers in your country's military openly? NO. You have to be a Decepticon robot, and a Megatronist.
35) May Jews serve as cops in your country's police forces openly? There aren't any police forces.
36) May Jews serve as educators in your country's schools openly? there aren't any schools - only producers of Educational Data Packs. And, NO. You have to be a Decepticon robot, and a Megatronist.
37) May Jews serve as athletes in your country's sports teams? NO. Not only do you have to be a Decepticon robot, and a Megatronist, but you physically cannot compete unless you are. How would some human have a chance against an opponent who's 100 feet tall, metal, and can transform and fly? It'd be laughable for one to try.
38) May Jews serve as journalists, reporters, or editors in your country's media companies? NO. You have to be a Decepticon robot, and a Megatronist.
39) In your country, are there such things as Affirmative Action, multicultural programs, or diversity quotas that may give Jews an advantage in gaining positions of power and influence, which may cause resentment or backlash? There are NO PROGRAMS of that sort to benefit ANY subgroup. We will not countenance the idea of subgroups. You are either a Decepticon and a Megatronist, or you are not a citizen. If you are not a citizen, you are either a slave, or a tourist who several randoms will try to make into a slave.
40) If there are any such things as mentioned from Question #39 in your country, are the Jewish and non-Jewish communities mostly supportive, neutral, or against them?N/A
41) Are there any antisemitic celebrities in your country? We don't do "celebrities" in general. But among the few who have a higher-than-normal profile: Anyone who expressed ANY strong opinions about any kind of puny aliens from some planet light-years away, a planet which we have defeated no less, would be memory-holed really quick because such concerns are considered glitched.
42) Is antisemitic terrorism a phenomenon within your country? No
43) When was the last reported incidence of antisemitic activity within your country? N/A
44) Overall, has the level of antisemitism within your country increased, remained about the same, or decreased since the last 50 years? Unchanged
45) Does your country's leader have a habit of publicly making antisemitic jokes, perpetuating antisemitic stereotypes, propagating or creating antisemitic conspiracy theories, or establishing antisemitic accusations about certain problems? No. If Megatron tried blaming some puny aliens from some primitive planet for anything to do with Cybertron or his government, we would think he was coded out of glitches and start working to remove him.

Endnote
— Is there anything else you would like to mention, detail, or admit?

Here, it's all about being the Strong. "We are the Strong, and the Strong shall rule." If you're a human, you are the Weak, because compared to a 100-foot-tall transforming sapient war robot, you ARE ridiculously weak and any arguments to the contrary are straight-up bullshit. You can be killed by being stepped on by one of us. No, as a culture, we don't bother to examine a human beyond that. A few biologists are curious enough to care about things like races and ethnicities, as well as how human bodies work in general. Slavers who have mines on organic worlds with oxygen-rich atmospheres like to use GMO'd human slaves to work them, because humans won't rust out in the humidity and rain, and if you get a few thousand of the little creatures on the worksite and make them obey, they can actually move a decent amount of ore. Neither of these groups thinks of humans as people, but instead, think of them about the same as humans thought of their own livestock prior to the Invasion. Of course, we don't eat humans, but instead, use them as beasts of labor.

To anyone else, which is to say, about 95% of us? A human is a tiny, bipedal mouse about 1/20th of our size, beneath further consideration.
No war RPs; no open RPs.

Jewish Ethnicity
1) Are there any racial Jews in your country? Yes
2) Are racial Jews a demographic majority or minority within your country? Minority (but the largest single minority of any kind)
3) Are your country's citizens, especially gentile (non-Jewish) citizens, familar with the different types of Jews that exist? (Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Hasidic, Ethiopian, Mizrahi, etc.) These Types are less known (almost all Lietuvan Jews are Ashkenazi), but the denominations (Orthodox, Masorti, Reform, Karaite, etc.) are commonly known.
4) How well-received is the ethnicity of the Jewish people taken by members of the gentile population in your country? Neutrally. Some elements are outright anti-Semitic on an ethnic blood level, but far less than are merely hostile to the religion.
5) What is the native term for "a racial Jew" in your country's language? žydas pagal kraują (A Jew by blood)
6) Are racial Jews a protected people by your country's legal system or constitution? Not specifically by name, but discrimination by blood or skin is unconstitutional.
7) How many of each division of racial Jews exist in your country? There are 3.4 million Jews by Blood in the Free State, Of these, only about 10,000 do not have a majority Ashkenazi heritage, these being primarily Juhurim (Caucasian Jewish) Karaites and Kochin (South Indian) Rabbinic Jews.

17) What are the typical political beliefs of your country's racial Jews?
18) What do racial Jews typically look like in your country? They tend towards a darker range of hair and eye colors than ethnic Lietuvans, but it remains a range, and most would be considered "white" in appearance. There is also perhaps a slightly greater tendency towards curly hair and downward-curving noses, but these traits are certainly not universal. Karaites, especially the Juruhim third of their community, on the other hand do have a higher likelihood to be seen as non-white in appearance, owing to very high frequency of black hair and olive skin.
20) Is your country's leader friendly, neutral, or hostile to racial Jews? Neutral (Actually neutral, this time)
21) What kind of job does the typical racial Jew have in your country? Operating kosher restaurants or groceries, being a rabbi, practicing medicine, psychology, or law, in the financial sector or as standard office workers, as well as warehouse workers, janitors, or manufacturing workers among lower economic strata. They are statistically less likely to work outdoors (Farmers, construction workers, etc.) than other ethnicities, but even then, some do.
22) What kind of lifestyle does the typical racial Jew have in your country? Most can afford comfortable dwellings and many are homeowners. They may eat well and are under little to no burden to violate their traditions to maintain or acquire this living standard.
23) Does your country's government or private citizens work with Jewish civil rights organizations abroad? No
24) Does your country do much research on racial Jews as a distinct group? Its considered better that they don't.
