Section One - Legally Enforcable Rights
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.

2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? Yes.
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? It's illegal to discriminate, but there are no hate speech laws here. Freedom of speech is paramount.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? No. Well they can, but not just because they're LGB, they have to have done something objectionable to be refused service like anyone else.
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? Legal names can be changed, but not the sex listed on documents.

There currently are no trans or non-binary people in Aichoghnu. If there were any, they would be allowed to compete in the category for their biological sex, as long as they had not surgically transitioned or undergone HRT. So no.

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. Children are taught about same-sex relationships and sex, and their significance in traditional culture (many traditional societies in Aichoghnu consider same-sex relationships to be sacred.) Children are taught about the Western gender system, and about transgender people. Note that gender does not exist as a concept in Aichoghnu, so the only transgender or non binary people in the country would be immigrants. However, many people in Aichoghnu would probably be considered to be like this based on Western gender norms, as here men and women have the freedom to act as they wish.
2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system? Yes.
3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? Yes, Aichoghnu is well known as a welcoming place for all refugees.

10/ Does your government recognise LGBT+ charities as valid and allow tax-deductible donations? Only LGB charities. Charities such as Mermaids are banned.

2/ (If applicable) Which aspects of gender transition are covered by your nation's healthcare system? None of them.
3/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or sexual reassignment surgery (SRS)? Yes, but they'd have to go abroad to get it.
4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment? It depends on the regulations in the country they went to to get treatment.

9/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to other gender-affirming healthcare and resources? No.
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 prohibited from doing that.

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? 82%. Most of those who disagree disagree because they disagree with the Western concept of marriage, not because they don't support same-sex couples. 100% of citizens support same-sex couples.
2/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support same-sex adoption? 100%.
3/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support peoples' right to transition? 0.2%.
4/ Is there a taboo or stigma surrounding the discussion of LGBT+ issues in your nation? No, they're a pretty hot topic at the moment, and there are many face to face and online groups dedicated to it.

6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? No.

Trans people are accepted with as much love as anyone else, but as members of their biological sex. Aichoghnu's academia only really discusses gender as an interesting but negative anthropological concept.

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? Pro LGB media figures are prominent and popular, but pro-trans figures are somewhat fringe, though not disliked.
2/ Are there prominent anti-LGBT+ media figures in your nation's news and entertainment sphere? If so, how popular are they? There aren't any, apart from a podcast documenting the pervasive rise of gender theory in world politics, which is quite popular. However it's not anti-trans, whatever its critics may say, instead explicitly supporting people with actual gender dysphoria who through whatever circumstances transitioned. It and many feminists from Aichoghnu have been lambasted on social media for being 'TERFs'.
3/ Are there prominent LGBT+ role models for young people displayed in your nation's media? Yes, many.
4/ Are LGBT+ people able to see relatable characters in your nation's prominent works of fiction? Yes, many.

AAPI: 1%
Black: 1%
Arab: 1%
Other: 1%
How many official languages are there in your nation? What are these? 42 according to the constitution, but the real number is very difficult to ascertain because of the 8 close-knit dialect continuums and the countless mixed languages and possibly extinct languages, and recently lost mutual intelligibility languages and recently gained mutual intelligibility languages and etcetera.
What is the political position of your nation's ruling Government? N/A, practically impossible to classify.
What type of Government does your country have? Direct democracy run by a leader elected once every 4 years by referendum (like everything else in Aichoghnu)

END
Are you satisfied with this index? Ish.
Any suggestions or comments on how to improve? I do think it's biased towards certain views about gender, but I know that's your opinion and it probably won't change. However, I'm going to go ahead and assume that there are some countries with incredible LGB rights that have been placed further down the list because they don't follow restrictive Western concepts of gender and I think that should be accounted for.

Section One - Legally Enforcable Rights
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.

2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? No.
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? No. Hate speech legislation is considered by the courts to be a blatant infringement on the constitutionally enshrined right to free expression.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? Yes. Individuals and businesses have the right to choose with whom they do business, just as they have the right to choose where to exercise their patronage of a business.

Citizens may change their legal name upon request for whatever reason, however certain documents such as birth certificates, criminal records, citizen identifying numbers and service records may not be altered.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? No. Smaller fringe organizations exist, but they are exceedingly unpopular among the general public.

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. Very briefly. The education curriculum reflects the government position on them as being mentally ill sexual deviants, and gives a short description on members and activities of the aforementioned group in order to inform and warn pupils about their presence and potential dangers.
2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system? No.
3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? No.

6/ Does your government recognise "X" or an equivalent non-binary gender identity on official documentation? No.
7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid? No legislation on the Realm explicitly mentions the aforementioned defence. Unsolicited and aggressive sexual innuendo may however, regardless of the orientational dynamics, be construed to constitute sufficient grounds for the use of force. In any case, a jury is quite likely to acquit a defendant who credibly demonstrates that they were being persistently harassed by a sexual deviant.
8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? No.
9/ Does your government allow discussion and debate of LGBT+ issues within its legislature? Yes.

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? I don't quite understand what is meant by 'specialist sexual health services' here, but assuming you mean urologist, endocrinologists, gynecologists and the like, then yes.
2/ (If applicable) Which aspects of gender transition are covered by your nation's healthcare system? None.
3/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or sexual reassignment surgery (SRS)? No. The aforementioned procedures are not recognized nor authorized by the State medical boards, and thus medical personnel are prohibited from performing them on patients.
4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment? N/A
5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? No. While their possession is not regulated, importing and exporting said material is regulated.

9/ How prevalent are gender-neutral bathrooms/restrooms in your nation? Very rare.
10/ What are the opinions on LGBT+ issues from your nation's academia? The general consensus view on the matter is that the LGBT movement is a self-interested group of severely mentally ill sexual deviants trying to force their delusions to the general public via deception and taking advantage of the empathetic but naive members of society. The movement is also viewed as a foreign-funded national security threat propped up by hostile foreign governments and NGO's in order to destabilize the society and rule of law of the Realm, with considerable amounts of evidence supporting this view.
Section Five - Media and Political Representation
Expanding on answers past "yes/no" is appreciated where possible/applicable.

Yes, all citizens have the right to form civil unions with those of the same sex (with no further financial or legal privilege bound to this status), although marriage is prohibited for all in Almadriana since April 12th, 2024.
Change (04/11/2024): Marriage Abolishion Act (ALMA-A-SocP-1): although considering the cultural importance of marriage today, Almadriana decided to abolish marriage as an institution of one-sided (legal and financial) privilege, mostly furthering inequality and discrimination in many forms.
2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children?
Yes, they are permitted to adopt and raise children. In case of adoption, both queer and non-queer citizens are required to participate in an assessment procedure to ensure that they can provide a secure and good-enough upbringing of the adopted child or children and to check if former criminal charges do not conflict with this prerequisite. All parents have access to further aid, support and information.
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation?
Yes, LGBT+ citizens (from now on: queer citizens) are protected from hate speech and discrimination just as every non-queer citizen is protected from discrimination and hate speech.

The identification via the Almadriana Personal Identity Card (ALPID) is necessary for every application, request (and official processes with a strict identification condition) by every citizen in the country.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation?
Yes, there is a larger, LGBT+ supportive national group called "ALMAQUEESO" acting as an umbrella organisation of smaller regional queer support groups (3 groups in total of 17 regions). In rural regions of Almadriana the support is significantly less pronounced than in the capital city Almorana.

Generally, every citizen is protected against most discriminatory practices including restrictions of access to these services and their proper functioning.

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 to both. Though, as marriage is a religious union, religious figures who are permitted to perform marriages reserve the right to refuse to marry same-sex couples if they believe it goes against their religious beliefs. The state does not compel them to perform such ceremonies as it would go against the Wylish interpretation of the Freedom of Religion.
2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? Yes
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? Wyland does not have hate speech laws. LGBT+ people enjoys the same legal protections from discrimination as everyone else.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? Citizens, in a private capacity, have the right to withhold goods and/or services from anybody, not just LGBT+ people. In a business capacity, such as refusing service in a restaurant, then a good reason must be provided (refusal to pay, being belligerent, asking a religious family-owned bakery to make a pride cake etc).

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

6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? Yes, though it is routine for the police to keep the crowds separated so such parallel demonstrations rarely turn violent. Heated words and obnoxious chanting from both sides are common though.
7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition? While one cannot legally transition in Wyland, and 'trans' is generally not recognised as a legitimate status by either the government or the average citizen, personal pronouns are generally respected by most Wylish people in the spirit of politeness and expediency.
8/ Are the major religious groups within your nation generally accepting of LGBT+ people and their lifestyles? Yes. The established Church of Wyland, the largest religious organisation by far, generally conforms with the national mainstream views on LGBT+ people though there remains a large minority of members who are hostile to any suggestions of reform.

5/ Does support for LGBT+ people vary greatly depending on the region/state you live in? Do laws differ greatly? Yes. Support for LGBT+ issues is generally higher in urban areas whereas rural areas are generally more socially conservative. As a unitary state, laws are the same throughout Wyland.
6/ Do explicitly pro-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? Yes, the 'Everyone's Party' campaigns on an explicitly pro-LGBT+ platform. While relatively minor, it is by far the largest of such parties in Wylish politics and claims to represent the majority of the politically-active LGBT+ community.
7/ Do explicitly anti-LGBT+ parties exist in your nation's political sphere? If so, what support do they have? No, some parties advocate for policies that are sometimes described as 'anti-LGBT+' though they would never openly describe them as such and ofttimes such accusations are rather subjective and/or politically motivated.

Additionally, cases regarding threats and violence are considered in context, based on factors like risk, perceived threat, and legitimacy.

Would you like to receive a TG updating you when your nation has been scored? Sure!
Please confirm you are a human nation! Done.
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.

4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? N
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?

N, with the new implementation of some laws, banning trans citizens from particpating in sporting activities based on their preferred gender identity is illegal. This took quite a long time to implement and was met with some resistance in the government and some slight backlash from private sporting committees and their fans, but the change has been overwhelmingly positive and has sparked a new movement within the trans community.

8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? N, as this is not always applicable in these scenarios.

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?
It's slightly complicated, due to planetary laws, but if we're talking about the main planet, then it's quite simple.

Yes.

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 was legalized in January 1916 (2982) by King Gerontius the Old just after his 16th birthday. He took Pope Hecate V's counsel on the matter, but despite her opposition, legalized same-sex civil unions and marriages. Adoption rights became available five years later in December 1921 (2987), followed by legalized genderqueer marriages and adoptions in 1973 (3039) and 1979 (3045) respectively
2/ Are persons in same-sex relationships permitted to adopt or otherwise raise children? See above
3/ Are your nation's LGBT+ citizens protected by hate speech and general anti-discrimination legislation? Yes; King Gerontius promoted policies to fight against hate speech as a whole, but it was his son, King Rorimac IV, who ultimately passed legislation in 2015 (3081) ending hate speech against queer people, in addition to generalized discrimination.
4/ Do your nation's citizens have the right to withhold goods and/or services from LGBT+ people? No; King Gerontius's policies hastened the development of policies to prevent this, meaning it rarely if ever happened.
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; citizens go to their county clerk (or nearest equivalent) and fill out a form which is then sent to the Department of Minority Concerns & Issues to be processed. Citizens will then receive updated passports, licenses, etc free-of-charge with a signed note from the current monarch apologizing for any discrimination a person may have faced and a few sentences congratulating them on taking this step in their transition. Such has been the standard since King Michael II took the throne from his uncle Rorimac IV in 2016 (3082); prior to this, there was no official process.
6/ Are there large national and/or regional pro-LGBT+ groups within your nation? Yes, namely the Society for Queer Belecthorians, the Clementine LGBTQ+ Association, and the Belecthorian Queers Association.
7/ If yes, do these groups and the individuals associated with them have the right to free assembly and/or public protest? Yes, as are afforded all such groups.
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.
10/ Are your nation's trans citizens specifically banned from participating in sporting activities based on their preferred gender identity? No, due to legislation passed by the Senate shortly after its establishment in 2019 (3085)

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, at an age-appropriate level. For example, in elementary schools, kids have access to stories wherein characters may be married to those of the same-sex or perhaps go by pronouns different than those assigned to their birth sex. When sexual education is taught in 7th and 8th grade, students are informed about sexual relations with the same and opposite sex, as well as how to make their partners comfortable when someone may identify as genderqueer or nonbinary and potentially experience gender dysphoria.
2/ Are LGBT+ voices taken into account when legislation is being developed and debated within your nation's legal system? Yes; in addition to aforementioned groups, the Senate has a group called the Queer Caucus, made up of queer individuals in the Senate; it's sister caucus for cis-het Senators is called the Allies Caucus, and they provide input and support as well.
3/ Does your nation take refugees from other countries who are persecuted on the basis of their sexual or gender identity? Yes, and they are rarely (if ever) rejected; in fact, Meretica searches them out to assist them whenever possible.
4/ Does your nation's armed forces (or equivalent) allow LGBT+ people entry? Yes
5/ If yes, are they permitted to be open about their gender or sexual identity? Yes
6/ Does your government recognise "X" or an equivalent non-binary gender identity on official documentation? Yes
7/ Does your nation's legal system recognise the "trans panic" and/or "gay panic" defence(s) as valid? No, and it has not since Gerontius first legalized same-sex relations.
8/ Does your government allow pride flags to be flown alongside the national flag at official events and ceremonies? Yes
9/ Does your government allow discussion and debate of LGBT+ issues within its legislature? Yes
10/ Does your government recognise LGBT+ charities as valid and allow tax-deductible donations? They are valid; tax-deductible donations do not exist.

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; there is an entire healthcare industry dedicated to queer issues, and given Meretica has universal healthcare, it comes at no cost to citizens.
2/ (If applicable) Which aspects of gender transition are covered by your nation's healthcare system? Everything, really--and when something isn't, it's typically been the case that it's been done pro bono and the Senate is informed of the need to update its laws.
3/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and/or sexual reassignment surgery (SRS)? Yes
4/ Are your nation's trans citizens required to go through "real life experience" (RLE) before having access to treatment? No, though many Traditionalists (conservatives) have pushed for it.
5/ Are your nation's citizens permitted to import their own medication for the purposes of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? No, but that is because Meretica manufactures almost all of its medication; any that are needed but not manufactured are requested by doctors and pharmacists, which are then bought by the government as needed.
6/ What your nation's age of majority when making decisions regarding HRT and SRS? 16
7/ Do your nation's trans citizens have access to puberty blockers? If so, from what age are they available? Yes, from ages 12 onwards
8/ Is pre and post-transition physical and mental healthcare available to your nation's trans citizens? Yes, as it is with all citizens
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? No; it is considered a violation of privacy and results in a small fine.

1/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support same-sex marriage? 96%
2/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support same-sex adoption? 88%
3/ What percentage of your nation's citizens support peoples' right to transition? 83%
4/ Is there a taboo or stigma surrounding the discussion of LGBT+ issues in your nation? Not outside of ultra-conservative circles
5/ Are LGBT+ citizens in your nation commonly subjected to discrimination online and/or in person? No; see previous answers on queer protections
6/ If pride parades or similar occur in your nation, are they met with counter-marches or other resistance? Occasionally, but not often; maybe once or twice per year.
7/ If applicable to your dialect(s), are your nation's citizens generally accepting of someone's pronouns when they transition? Yes; if nothing else, it is considered the socially acceptable thing to offer support
