Section One - Legally Enforcable Rights
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to marry or form civil unions with those of the same sex?
Yes. No universal legally-recognized concept of marriage, but generally all legal contracts between willing parties are permitted given no other abrogating contract. For example, if one has willingly signed away his right for same-sex marriage per their agreement with entities that insured them for compensatory legal liabilities, then such contract will be accordingly enforced as long as the individual is bound to the insurers in question. The same applies for all other entries below. Therefore details will be added on whether non-universal, private restrictions on such rights are common.

2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children?
Yes. In general restrictions in such aspect is scarce.

3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation?
No. Hate speech might be regulated by certain public order ordinances in some Core settlements, or subjected through neurocensorship (braimod implants that isolated and tuned out unpleasant auditory/visual input). Anti-discrimination laws are rare, but places that discriminate individuals for "unreasonable" reasons are generally penalized by reputation markets.

4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people?
Yes. Private entities are free to deny customers for any reasons and such disputes with individual service/good providers are to be referred only to internal structures of private entities affiliated with those individuals in question. Generally such discrimination is penalized by reputation markets.

5/ Do citizens who are gender transitioning have the right to alter their legal name(s) and documents? If so, how difficult is this process?
(Technically) Yes. Documentation in most Darussalami settlements tend to involve encrypted immutable identification tied to an individual alongside dynamically-updated traits and affiliations of the individual in question if necessary. Generally manual document alteration is hardly necessary in the first place. Consider, however, that many of these documentations might (depending on situations) focus on addressing and recording visible physical traits than mental identities, and are therefore adjusted accordingly.

6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation?
In the sense of rights advocacy groups, then no, as LGBT rights are not particularly prominent or salient political issue (set aside that Darussalamis typically frown upon political advocacies in the first place). Most major cultural and political organizations are broadly in favor of the status quo, and there are many subcultures and phyles that accept if not outright oriented around "nonstandard" (non-cisheterosexual) identities.

7/ If yes, do these groups and the individuals associated with them have the right to free assembly and/or public protest?
Generally protests and political assemblies in the meatspace are limited to certain pre-designated available spaces in most Core Darussalami settlements. Naturally, this doesn't apply to the noospheric cyberspace where most of such things happen if at all. Other, perhaps freer, arrangements might exist in more anarchic parts of the subcontinent.

8/ Do your nation's LGBT+ individuals and groups have the right to free speech both in person and online?
Generally yes (the same applies to all individuals).

9/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected from discrimination in the workplace, during education, and while using public services?
Typically no direct protection from discrimination, although such matter might be waived through consumer associations, labor unions, and various other affiliated organizations surrounding one's employment. Typically such discrimination is penalized by reputation markets.

10/ Are your nation's trans citizens specifically banned from participating in sporting activities based on their preferred gender identity?
No such ban exists. Owing to all-pervasive presence of various physical modifications through Mesovalkia, such events in the first place are not necessarily separated by genders, but by other means.

Section Two - Government Stances on LGBT+ Issues
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are LGBT+ topics covered in your nation's education system? Please give details.
Darussalami "education system" is fundamentally decentralized in nature without universally-applicable curricula, and extremely diverse in method, style, materials, and intended outcome. Sex education might cover same-sex relationships, education pertaining bodily modification might entail possible instructions for gender implants, but in general the question is not particularly applicable.

2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system?
Laws aren't being "developed and debated" in the Abode of Peace. An universal standard commercial protocol exists, axiomatically grounded on individual sovereignty (and choice-diversity) as well as property rights, that allow individuals to elect whichever laws they agreed upon to be imposed on them on them alone, on individual basis (typically through an agreement with one's legal insurers). Such protocol is inviolable, at least in theory. What is frequently considered as the realm's "parliament", the Imperial Durbar, is a voluntary ledger-forum that pools resources and mediates consensus between hundreds of thousands of diverse quasi-sovereign interests in the Abode of Peace and functions as de jure Darussalami government as recognized by most foreign polities, and does not "pass laws". It does have representations from many non-cisheterosexual individuals, if that's applicable.

3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity?
There is open border immigration policy restricted by private property rights (i.e. property-owners have the right to allow or refuse access to individuals into their property for whatever reasons) which generally entails restriction of entrance from administrations of Core Darussalami settlements. The Core, as general rule, does not permit or even recognize the concept of refugees - but it allows immigrants for a multitude other reasons or even lack thereof given ability to self-provide. Refugees do live en masse across the more anarchic, decentralized Sprawl settlements.

4/ Does your nation's armed forces (or equivalent) allow LGBT+ people entry?
Yes, there's no restriction regarding such entry.

5/ If yes, are they permitted to be open about their gender or sexual identity?
Generally yes.

6/ Does your government recognise "X" or an equivalent non-binary gender identity on official documentation?
See previous answer re:documentation. Explicit gender identification is typically not necessary but wherever they are, generally there are a range of gender identities recognized.

7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid?
Murder/assault is typically considered acceptable only in self-defense. Charges of fraudulent contracts or such are to be addressed to available legal courses.

8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies?
No such thing is recognized in Darussalami mainstream cultural milieu, and only relevant banners are hoisted in events and ceremonies, rarely any other.

9/ Does your government allow discussion and debate of LGBT+ issues within its legislature?
See previous answer re:legal system. In short: not applicable.

10/ Does your government recognise LGBT+ charities as valid and allow tax-deductable donations?
Charity organizations are generally not considered distinct from any other private organizations. In contexts where they are considered distinct then there's no LGBT-based discrimination regarding the nature or purpose of said charities in the first place.

Section Three - Healthcare:
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Do your nation's LGBT+ citizens have access to specialist sexual health services?
Yes. Healthcare system is private and decentralized, no universal public subsidy exists (but such resource pools might be provided by private agents), but healthcare is generally far more comprehensive, advanced, and accessible than such services in most nation-states.

2/ (If applicable) Which aspects of gender transition are covered by your nation's healthcare system?
All applicable aspects are available through private providers (if not self-provision through decentralized Noospheric-assisted surgery and medisystems) at relatively affordable cost for median Darussalami individual relative to most other polities. Generally gender transition is considered as not particularly not different from multitude of operations that similarly involve neuropsychological and physical biomodifications in the Abode of Peace.

3/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or sexual reassignment surgery (SRS)?
Yes, see above.

4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment?
Such matter depends on decisions of the individual's healthcare provider in question, and the policy of a regulating quality board it's accountable to, if one exists.

5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?
Yes, no such restrictions exist.

6/ What your nation's age of majority when making decisions regarding HRT and SRS?
Such matter depends on decisions of the individual's healthcare provider in question, and the policy of a regulating quality board it's accountable to, if one exists.

7/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to puberty blockers? If so, from what age are they available?
Yes, see previous answers re:age of majority.

8/ Is pre and post-transition physical and mental healthcare available to your nation's trans citizens?
Yes, see previous answers re:access.

9/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to other gender-affirming healthcare and resources?
Yes, see previous answers re:access.

10/ Are medical professionals or teaching staff required to "out" LGBT youth to their parents if they are below the age of majority?
See previous answers re:age of majority.

Section Four - Societal Attitudes
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support same-sex marriage?
Perhaps around >80% if "support" is defined as "not privately opposed to".

2/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support same-sex adoption?
Perhaps around >80% if "support" is defined as "not privately opposed to".

3/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support peoples' right to transition?
Perhaps around >80% if "support" is defined as "not privately opposed to".

4/ Is there a taboo or stigma surrounding the discussion of LGBT+ issues in your nation?
None in particular.

5/ Are LGBT+ citizens in your nation commonly subjected to discrimination online and/or in person?
Rarely such.

6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance?
"Pride parades" rarely exist in the first place, marches and demonstrations rarely exist in the first place and therefore the same applies for the counter-marches.

7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition?
Generally yes. More conservative communities in the Abode of Peace resort to binary pronouns in their linguistic standards. Other linguistic standards exist with various other pronoun modes.

8/ Are the major religious groups within your nation generally accepting of LGBT+ people and their lifestyles?
It's complicated. Mainline Darussalami Muslims, the most politically and culturally prominent religious group in the Abode of Peace, is typically accepting on such identities and orientations, and the same applies for virtually all "elite" religious groups typically considered "core Darussalami". Certain expressions or lifestyles might be frowned upon, especially by more conservative groups such as the Negentropists. At another end, although decisively a minority, are religious groups fervently opposed to most, if not all, expressions that deviate even the slightest from appropriate, traditional view on sexuality.

9/ How prevalent are gender-neutral bathrooms/restrooms in your nation?
Relatively prevalent, more so than median nation-state polity.

10/ What are the opinions on LGBT+ issues from your nation's academia?
Generally regarded as foreign culture war of little relevance for the Darussalamis. Generally individuals do not hold strong opinions on such issues except as downstream of more commonly-disputed priors.

Section Five - Media and Political Representation
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are there prominent pro-LGBT+ media figures in your nation's news and entertainment sphere? If so, how popular are they?
LGBT issues rarely became salient object-level political issue in Darussalam, to say nothing of the rarity of Darussalami popular figures that might be deemed explicitly "political" in manner comprehensible to average foreign observer (an average "political" Darussalami popular figure might be wrongly perceived as akin to an entertainer-idol for foreign observers). Therefore no, it's probably a rare and niche zone, largely composed perhaps of xenophobic "watchdog" figures that exposed more bioreactionary, typically immigrant, communities in Darussalam or gung-ho jingoists that denounced such practices abroad.

2/ Are there prominent anti-LGBT+ media figures in your nation's news and entertainment sphere? If so, how popular are they?
The same answer applies as above.

3/ Are there prominent LGBT+ role models for young people displayed in your nation's media?
There are a hundred thousands if not more, mass-assembled freely-manufactured even custom-made "role model" figures for a wide range of identity and subcultural identification throughout the Abode of Peace thanks to vast advancement in entertainment and neurotechnology, so perhaps, yes.

4/ Are LGBT+ people able to see relateable characters in your nation's prominent works of fiction?
Yes, there's no taboo for depictions of such behaviors or lifestyles in fiction.

5/ Does support for LGBT+ people vary greatly depending on the region/state you live in? Do laws differ greatly?
Yes, although the variation is less on regional/state basis and more on one's affiliated overarching legal structure, either distributed or centralized/territorial in nature. Core settlements of the Abode of Peace, hosting around 1/3 of Darussalami population, are generally much less variative - there's generally a broad range of personal/social freedom (if limited political agency), while there's broader range of available legal arrangements in the Sprawl region. Choice to exit a certain legal arrangement is nonetheless universal as a meta-legal framework.

6/ Do explicitly pro-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have?
Not applicable due to the political structure of the Abode of Peace, however a majority of existing cultural-political memetic vectors, chiefly mainstream ones, are broadly "pro-LGBT" in a sense.

7/ Do explicitly anti-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have?
Various bioreactionary or archreligious movements are perhaps the most likely. Support level for such movements are difficult to estimate due to botswarm phenomenon common in such memetic movements. Negentropist sects have more traction among the elites, but with broadly more subdued opposition to certain aspects, aesthetics, or lifestyle approaches instead of broad-based opposition to all "degenerate behaviors".

8/ Are there prominent politicians or public servants who are openly LGBT+?
Most public Darussalami figures generally maintain their personal life in extreme privacy, so there's little public confirmation regarding their relationships and identities in general. That being said, there are plenty of figures widely speculated to be in such relationships, and these generally do not negatively affect them.

9/ Are there prominent pro-LGBT+ voices within your nation's ruling party?
See answers above.

10/ Are LGBT+ people permitted to run for election or your nation's equivalent political process? Are they permitted to lead the nation?
Not applicable - but in the closest sense of applicability, e.g. membership in the Durbar or rulership of the Peacock Throne, yes.

(OPTIONAL) - More information
We would appreciate filling in as much of this information as possible. However, this is not required to receive a complete score, and filling this information out will not change your score in any way. This information may be used by us for research and other survey-wide analysis purposes.
What is the approximate ethnic makeup of your nation? (in percentages)
Difficult to properly account for, Darussalami identities diverge into many vectors and may contain multitudes. What were once older Darussalami ethnic groups have been remolded into hundreds if not thousands of diverse subcultures.

How many official languages are there in your nation? What are these?
Four major trade languages exist: Northern Bazaari, Southern Bazaari, OSLS (Open-Source Linguistic Standard), and MetaLang. These are not "official" languages but rather standardized linguistic systems with widespread use in commercial context.

What is the political position of your nation's ruling Government?
Neo-Reactionary Liberal Market Anarchism (as status quo), Religious Extropian Posthumanism (as public cult)

What type of Government does your country have?
Voluntaryist meta-rational contract-based polycentric market anarchy with public infrastructure mediated through sovereign corporate entities

What percentage of the population is estimated to be LGBT+?
Probably larger than the average nation-state: aside from general queer gender identities and sexual orientations, taking into account also widespread cultural bisexuality, various nonbinary/nonconforming identities emergent from infomorph (code-based) entities, advanced neurotechnology allowing individuals composed of multi-identity conscious beings or the reverse. In general there's stronger preference towards the opposite sex, but exclusive preference is a lot less universal than in most other polities.

(OOC) Which real life nation would you describe yours as being most similar to?
None applicable, the aesthetics borrow from the Gunpowder Empires (Ottoman, Mughal, Safavid Empires) as well as earlier caliphates, East Asian culture, posthuman/transhuman science fiction, cyberpunk fiction, and anarcho-capitalist hypothetical utopias.

END
Are you satisfied with this index? Sure
Any suggestions or comments on how to improve? Probably toning down on default assumption of the existence of normal modern political structures (political parties, parliaments, etc) although OTOH this is probably applicable for >99% of existing applicants so take this with a grain of salt.

Section One - Legally Enforcable Rights
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to marry or form civil unions with those of the same sex? Yes. This has been legislatively enshrined since 2009 and constitutionally enshrined since 2017.
2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? Yes, in fact, top preference in adoption is usually given to younger couples who are unable to have children, so LGBTQ couples seeking to adopt have some advantages in that sense.
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? Yes, and have been since 2009.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? No, this is viewed as trampling on the rights of others.

This usually requires a court hearing and thus can be somewhat slow depending on the backlog, but the process is overall cheap, easy to access, and relatively quick.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? Yes, both private and public organizations.
7/ If yes, do these groups and the individuals associated with them have the right to free assembly and/or public protest? Yes, provided it is a peaceful protest. This is the same standard applied to all protests nationally.
8/ Do your nation's LGBT+ individuals and groups have the right to free speech both in person and online? Yes, provided they aren't advocating for violence or participating in hate speech. This is the same freedom of speech standard that is applied nationally.
9/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected from discrimination in the workplace, during education, and while using public services? Yes, and have been since 2009.
10/ Are your nation's trans citizens specifically banned from participating in sporting activities based on their preferred gender identity?

Section Two - Government Stances on LGBT+ Issues
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are LGBT+ topics covered in your nation's education system? Please give details. Yes.

2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system? Yes, especially so when the legislation pertains to LGBTQ people.
3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? Yes, and this is probably the easiest way to gain residency in Indian Empire. The government will go out of its way to bring persecuted LGBTQ individuals into the country, up to the point of transporting them out of the country. This is also available for youths who are eligible for emancipation under Empirian Law, and they may also bring a partner and any siblings they have.
4/ Does your nation's armed forces (or equivalent) allow LGBT+ people entry? We don't have an armed forces, but LGBTQ individuals would be permitted to enter if we did.

Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.

3/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or sexual reassignment surgery (SRS)? Yes, though there are hurdles to clear to actually receiving these treatments
4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment? Only to certain forms of treatment. This practice is called "social transition" and a time period of 6-12 months of this is required before a trans citizen may access HRT, Puberty Blockers,or SRS. But things such as therapy or gender affirming pronouns/clothing aren't restricted and can be attempted without real life experience.
5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? Technically yes, but this is rare because you're only allowed to import drugs approved by the health administration's office.
6/ What your nation's age of majority when making decisions regarding HRT and SRS? 13 for Emancipated Minors, 13 with Parental Consent, 16 otherwise (though if a parent won't consent usually they will face legal difficulties, especially if a court rules it to be medically necessary)
7/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to puberty blockers? If so, from what age are they available? Yes, they are usually available around age 10 in theory, but due to the diagnostic hurdles it tends to take longer to get on them. Sometimes, the diagnostic process is started before then.

9/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to other gender-affirming healthcare and resources? Yes, organizations are available to consult if you are confused or are looking for a specific service. You can also do this through the healthcare system through a referral from your therapist.

4/ Is there a taboo or stigma surrounding the discussion of LGBT+ issues in your nation? Depends on the context. The more "sexual" aspects aren't usually discussed around young children, for example. But usually, if an LGBTQ subject comes up in childhood or in school, it is addressed in an age-appropriate way. (ie, if a five year old sees a gay couple in a movie, they'll be aware of the existance of men who love men, but none of the specific terminology/more in-depth stuff)
5/ Are LGBT+ citizens in your nation commonly subjected to discrimination online and/or in person? No, not usually. There are always those weird few people who discriminate against LGBTQ individuals, but they are hard to find.
6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? Sometimes there are small counter marches, especially in bigger cities. But the two never directly interact and any interaction between the two is peaceful.
7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition? Yes, though using new pronouns for someone takes time to learn, so it isn't always immediate that the person is gendered correctly. But the people important in the person's life get it right after a short time period, and anyone who misgenders someone generally does so on accident.
8/ Are the major religious groups within your nation generally accepting of LGBT+ people and their lifestyles? Yes, even if the religious interpretation doesn't agree they don't preach that everyone follow the same values as them.
9/ How prevalent are gender-neutral bathrooms/restrooms in your nation? You can find them in some places. Smaller businesses or parks tend to have one gender neutral bathroom. Larger businesses tend to have genered bathrooms and sometimes gender-neutral "family" restrooms. While not required, these are fairly common. In the event a gender neutral bathroom isn't present, transgender individuals should use the bathroom of the gender they identify with.
10/ What are the opinions on LGBT+ issues from your nation's academia? LGBT rights, along with Gender Dysphoria, are generally accepted as valid in academia and are largely believed to be genetic factors. Though for the sake of the protection of the community, no research is done into this. The main debate over academia is about what requirements should be in place for Trans athletes to participate in sports and at what age access to HRT/SRS should be accessible.

5/ Does support for LGBT+ people vary greatly depending on the region/state you live in? Do laws differ greatly? To some degree public support differs. Every province widely supports LGBTQ rights, but this support is slightly lower in northern, rural provinces than urban ones. However, laws don't really vary by province on this issue.
6/ Do explicitly pro-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? Yes, both major parties (which make up ~97% of the vote) are pro-LGBT rights.

5/ Do citizens who are gender transitioning have the right to alter their legal name(s) and documents? If so, how difficult is this process? Name changes and gender transitions are fully supported for by the government, and it's an easy process. However, in order to ensure that the census is running well and to track who's who, it does take a day or two to be approved. Mind, it's not so much to remind the trans folks of who they used to be, but more of documents to ensure that we don't lose track of someone completely.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? Yes, in order to make folks coming from other dimensions to be aware of this. Technically, given Val Z's stance, protests and awareness groups are present, just not for internal national awareness.

8/ Do your nation's LGBT+ individuals and groups have the right to free speech both in person and online? Yes.
9/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected from discrimination in the workplace, during education, and while using public services? Yes.

Section Two - Government Stances on LGBT+ Issues
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are LGBT+ topics covered in your nation's education system? Please give details. Yes, from the days before the pre-Valentian Era, to how they are to be accepted and are valid just as any other person. The topics were introduced once the kids hit 13 in the education system, though of course, the parents are more than welcome to slowly introduce them to the concepts of relationship, and how heterosexuality and homosexuality are different but still equally as valid.

7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid? Given the violent nature of it, not really, no.

8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? Yes.

5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

It's not to discourage; just to make sure it's safe for you.
6/ What your nation's age of majority when making decisions regarding HRT and SRS? 13+ is acceptable, but typically we will ask them to wait until 18.
7/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to puberty blockers? If so, from what age are they available? Yes, at 13, typically. Or whenever their puberty starts, case-to-case basis.
8/ Is pre and post-transition physical and mental healthcare available to your nation's trans citizens? Yes, at little to no cost just like with other healthcare treatments.
9/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to other gender-affirming healthcare and resources? Yes.
10/ Are medical professionals or teaching staff required to "out" LGBT youth to their parents if they are below the age of majority? They are allowed to keep it to themselves, so no. Valentian parents are also okay with LGBT youths, so there is that.

8/ Are the major religious groups within your nation generally accepting of LGBT+ people and their lifestyles? Yes.
9/ How prevalent are gender-neutral bathrooms/restrooms in your nation? Valentine Z toilets are all built to be unisex since 2031. It was, admittedly, a difficult decision at first, but hey, with sexual assaults and harassment on the lowest, and the Valentians just being generally abiding, it was time for unisex toilets!
10/ What are the opinions on LGBT+ issues from your nation's academia? Accepted and encouraged, with quite a lot of theses being written about LGBT+ issues from the Pre-Valentian Eras, to even in the early Valentian Eras when the world was just starting to heal itself.

7/ Do explicitly anti-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? N/A.
8/ Are there prominent politicians or public servants who are openly LGBT+? If you count Valkyrie Valentijn Samantha Constantine and Clarissa Alanis Star Samantha, yes! The former's transition (though via magic) may have meant that Val Z is lead by a lesbian woman, and a lesbian robot.
9/ Are there prominent pro-LGBT+ voices within your nation's ruling party? Yes.
10/ Are LGBT+ people permitted to run for election or your nation's equivalent political process? Are they permitted to lead the nation? Well, yes! Although... with the oligarchic nature of it, the ruling may be difficult for both the heteros and homos.

Any suggestions or comments on how to improve? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[The Land of the Ephyral]

Your nation's name as you'd like it to appear on the index (usually does not include pretitle) Sacred League or Ephyra is fine
Your nation's current year 2025
Your nation's IC population 56.3 million
Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored? Yes.
Please confirm you are a human nation! We are.
You may request a breakdown of your score via TG once it is processed. Note that any requests for breakdowns or additional information are only processed when the queue of submissions is empty.

Section One - Legally Enforcable Rights
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to marry or form civil unions with those of the same sex? No. Marriages in Ephyra are traditionally arranged by the two families involved and, with the additional benefits of familial alliance in a society that operates systems of patronage, is primarily intended to facilitate reproduction. As a result there's just no situation in which a marriage between two men or two women could occur. There is no such thing as a 'civil union' in Ephyra.
2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? No. Leaving aside the established fact that there are no official same-sex relationships in Ephyra, adoption in the Sacred League is substantially different from the concept of it employed in the West. Suffice to say, as above, there is effectively no instance in which this situation would possibly arise.
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? No. I will use this question to make clear a fact that may or may not impede your ability or inclination to grade this response. Ephyrian sexuality is comparable to the models of ancient Rome or Greece, or indeed much of the ancient Mediterranean, in that there are no terms for nor self-identification on the basis of heterosexuality or homosexuality, or any other degree of this. Ephyrian sexuality instead is expressed on a dominant-penetrative / submissive-penetrated paradigm that emphasises physical position and social status as opposed to anything resembling modern Western sexual identification. As a result there are no people in Ephyra who would identify with the label LGBT even if outside viewers would deduce them to be members via observation of their sexual behaviour. Whilst there are no doubt Ephyrians who prefer members of their own sex as sexual partners, neither they nor Ephyrian society at large are given to believing this constitutes any kind of identity. Same-sex sexual behaviour is largely tolerated on situational bases, mostly in the context of male-male sexuality where the man who is doing the penetrating is seen as normal whilst the man who prefers to be penetrated is viewed as abnormal and worthy of scorn. So, to properly answer this question, no, LGBT+ citizens are not protected by hate speech legislation because no one in Ephyra has a concept of "LGBT+ citizens" that even need to be protected. This will form the basis for a lot of answers.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? No, for the same reason as above.
5/ Do citizens who are gender transitioning have the right to alter their legal name(s) and documents? If so, how difficult is this process? Citizens cannot gender transition and there is no recognition of this concept.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? No, by virtue of the response to question 3.
7/ If yes, do these groups and the individuals associated with them have the right to free assembly and/or public protest? N/A
8/ Do your nation's LGBT+ individuals and groups have the right to free speech both in person and online? The Sacred League doesn't celebrate free speech to begin with, let alone deny it to a non-existent category of citizens.
9/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected from discrimination in the workplace, during education, and while using public services? No, by virtue of the response to question 3.
10/ Are your nation's trans citizens specifically banned from participating in sporting activities based on their preferred gender identity? There is no transgenderism in Ephyra. Only men compete in male sporting activities and only women compete in female sporting activities.

Section Two - Government Stances on LGBT+ Issues

1/ Are LGBT+ topics covered in your nation's education system? Please give details. No.

3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? No.
4/ Does your nation's armed forces (or equivalent) allow LGBT+ people entry? De facto yes by virtue of the response to question 3 in section 1.
5/ If yes, are they permitted to be open about their gender or sexual identity? This wouldn't occur.
6/ Does your government recognise "X" or an equivalent non-binary gender identity on official documentation? No. There is no such thing as "gender identity" in Ephyra, only male or female based on birth.
7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid? Too niche to possibly occur.
8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? No, for lack of recognition of the flag and opposition to flying any flag but that of the Sacred League and its constituent city-states.
9/ Does your government allow discussion and debate of LGBT+ issues within its legislature? It doesn't disallow it but it never happens.
10/ Does your government recognise LGBT+ charities as valid and allow tax-deductable donations? There are no LGBT charities in Ephyra.

People who have reached the age of majority can change their name freely, to anything they want, as long it is readable and reasonable. One must go to the LSiD Centre in its locality (it is usually at the town hall) and indicate the desire to change your name, providing a new name and a reasonable justification for it. "Gender reassignment" is the second most common reason for name change, second only to "change of surname after marriage". However, it should be noted that, to prevent abuse, you can freely make this change only once, and a court decision or crown permission is required for subsequent changes. In addition, the old name also remains registered.

6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? Pride parades are common in the biggest cities, where they get police support and protection. In those smaller northern cities, they wouldn't be that much respected, honestly.
7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition?The Lisander Academy of Sciences and Letters issued a note clarifying that the use of pronouns should be related to a person's gender, not necessarily to their biological sex, what was regarded as a victory for the LGBT+ population. On the other hand, the same measure also issued a recommendation against so-called "neutral pronouns", which were considered linguistic aberrations by the same entity, much to chagrin of non-binary people.

6/ Do explicitly pro-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? Lisander doesn't have permanent political parties. Candidates run individually, and group themselves in the Parliament itself. The ruling coalition, composed by various political groups, is highly supportive of LGBT+ causes.
7/ Do explicitly anti-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? The opposition, formed by most conservative parliamentarians, is known to try blocking pro-LGBT+ laws, in name of religion and morality.

1/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to marry or form civil unions with those of the same sex? Yes.

4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? No, this would be a violation, if it is on the grounds of them being LGBT+, of the law mentioned above.
5/ Do citizens who are gender transitioning have the right to alter their legal name(s) and documents? If so, how difficult is this process? Yes, it mostly consists of the same components as anyone else altering their legal name, though the documents have to be processed through a law firm before being approved. This process mostly runs smoothly, though.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? The World Identity Party, or the WIP, is a one-issue party in Scytharum which focuses on supporting LGBT+ people and minorities worldwide, hence the name, even at the expense of the nation or majorities.

8/ Do your nation's LGBT+ individuals and groups have the right to free speech both in person and online?

Section Two - Government Stances on LGBT+ Issues
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.

2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system? They are taken into account based on merit, just as anyone else would be. For example, during the passing of the Orson Act, an act which would decide whether LGBT+ immigrants would be accepted or not, five ministers spoke up, only one of them being LGBT+, yet each of them argued similarly.
3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? Yes, due to the above mentioned Orson Act of 2003, since it passed thanks especially to the five ministers' testimonies.
4/ Does your nation's armed forces (or equivalent) allow LGBT+ people entry? Yes, and the standards for their entry are not altered from the standard grading system, which is mostly universal.
5/ If yes, are they permitted to be open about their gender or sexual identity? Yes, but they are to keep their uniform standard, as usually a small patch of their pride flag is allowed somewhere fairly discreet on their uniform, usually on the thigh.
6/ Does your government recognise "X" or an equivalent non-binary gender identity on official documentation? Yes, simply labeled as, "I'd prefer not to say".
7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid? No, as the mental health of these individuals and their capabilities are evaluated on the same basis as any other individual.
8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? Not alongside the national flag, though individual events in Commonwealths or Duchies are allowed. This mostly doesn't occur though, as the Scythaic government believes it would be an embarassment on the world stage.
9/ Does your government allow discussion and debate of LGBT+ issues within its legislature? Yes, as they are regarded as equally important to any other issue, except when grifters try to use the movement to gain special privileges.
10/ Does your government recognise LGBT+ charities as valid and allow tax-deductable donations? Yes, the Oscar Project, this timeline's Trevor Project, is based out of Fairview, though it is banned in most of the world, except for the Americas.

Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.
1/ Do your nation's LGBT+ citizens have access to specialist sexual health services? Yes, but only adults do, as the general law is that reassignment surgery cannot be performed on anyone under 18.
2/ (If applicable) Which aspects of gender transition are covered by your nation's healthcare system? The Scythaic Healthcare system is fairly privatized, though the harsh competition due to the "trust regulating" the government has become known for keeps prices fairly low despite no coverage existing in this area.

4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment? Yes.
5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? No, as it is required that HRT must occur through legal channels, through a medical professional.
6/ What your nation's age of majority when making decisions regarding HRT and SRS? At least 18.
7/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to puberty blockers? If so, from what age are they available? No, as they are regarded as life-altering substances which can affect someone's body irreversibly before they become adults, hence before they know better.
8/ Is pre and post-transition physical and mental healthcare available to your nation's trans citizens? Yes, as about four separate providers compete in this area.
9/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to other gender-affirming healthcare and resources? Some products, such as supplements, are available mostly just for adults, but these products are screened before being widely distributed.
10/ Are medical professionals or teaching staff required to "out" LGBT youth to their parents if they are below the age of majority? This is a complicated matter. While these individuals are supposed to inform the parents of any abnormalities, them being LGBT by itself is not required to be informed, but if it is part of a wider mental health problem, then it is required to be told to a parent or parents.

4/ Is there a taboo or stigma surrounding the discussion of LGBT+ issues in your nation? Mostly no, as these issues are regarded as fairly normal to discuss.
5/ Are LGBT+ citizens in your nation commonly subjected to discrimination online and/or in person? No, as most individuals don't care that they are LGBT+.
6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? The LGBT+ community in the Scytharumverse doesn't deal in the maxim of pride but instead of "Solidarity", in which they wish to show that they are, in any other way, just ordinary people. Their actions, hence, are hardly ever met with opposition, though the Imperialist Party (IP) is known to allegedly support those who try to incite backlash.
7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition? This is a bit complicated, as many of our world's "neopronouns" aren't a thing in the Scytharumverse, though he/him and she/her being for transgender people is accepted, and they/them for "I'd prefer not to say".
8/ Are the major religious groups within your nation generally accepting of LGBT+ people and their lifestyles? The main branch, the Scythaic Catholic Church, is mostly apathetic towards them being LGBT+, seeing them as the same as everyone else, though some very small Protestant branches are opposed, alongside some Muslim and Orthodox groups.
9/ How prevalent are gender-neutral bathrooms/restrooms in your nation? They aren't all that common.
10/ What are the opinions on LGBT+ issues from your nation's academia? Scytharum's academia mostly regard the LGBT+ movement as one like any other civil rights group, and with the associated opinions of it. Some are very supportive, while others have allegedly been very against it.

4/ Are LGBT+ people able to see relateable characters in your nation's prominent works of fiction? Yes, mostly in Young Adult books.
5/ Does support for LGBT+ people vary greatly depending on the region/state you live in? Do laws differ greatly? Yes, as individual Commonwealths have very decentralized policies. Interestingly, the most pro-LGBT Commonwealth, Neuquén, is right to the north of the most anti-LGBT Commonwealth, Patagonia, though their policy isn't all too notably different.
6/ Do explicitly pro-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? Yes, the aforementioned World Identity Party is a very pro-LGBT party, and most see them as idealists who have a good cause but no way or plan to execute it.
7/ Do explicitly anti-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? Also yes, the aforementioned Imperialist Party is slightly less popular politically, but socially they are viewed as backwards "Amantes Alemanes", meaning German lovers.

In the German, Ottoman, Soviet, and even Indian and somewhat American allied spheres, LGBT+ people have very few rights and are frequently persecuted.
