Hresejnen wrote:Full Nation Name: The Tribal Confederate of Hresejnen
Government Type: Representative Direct Democracy
WA Category: Left-Leaning College State
Civil Rights: Superb
Economy: Good
Political Rights: Excellent

How do you view...

War: Necessary for defense and occasionally for an economic boost, but total war is not considered an option, and war frightens most citizens as opposed to galvanizing them.
Diplomacy: Hresejnen has a long history of trade, considering its original barrenness due to overworking land in past centuries. Is now more self-sufficient, but carries on its diplomatic traditions.
Planned economy: Only indirectly, ie funding schools that would produce the necessary specialists.
Militarism: Hresejnen has few but well-trained and -funded of specialists as its "official" army, but citizens are traditionally trained to handle firearms, which are customarily held on a person at all times, serving as formidable militia in the case of war at home.
Xenophobia: We are quite nationalistic, but in the same breath have a keen interest in foreign cultures. Xenophobia at home isn't really an issue due to a lack of immigration.
Religion: No official religion, but Norse paganism is the custom for nearly all citizens and is deeply integrated into our culture. Other groups, including Christians, Muslims and Buddhists exist, but are just slight (though sometimes quite loud) minorities.
Multiculturalism: Official stance of multiculturalism, though realistically there is just one overbearing culture spiced with a few tiny minorities.
Drugs: Legal in the privacy of one's home, though generally looked down upon due to stereotypes surrounding the lack of ambition and work ethic of drug users.
Firearms: Individuals are trained to use various firearms and all keep at least one weapon on their person at all times.
LGBT individuals: Not considered an identity, but rather a choice. Those who are exclusively homosexual are regarded with mild suspicion, but it is not persecuted and such individuals are usually able to make up for their lifestyle, socially, by excelling in other areas. Transsexuals are nearly unheard of due to stigma.

Your opinion on political systems such as...

Monarchy: Hresejnen has a king, but his power is mainly symbolic. He does, however, retain the power to alter the system of government, allocating more real power to himself, but such an act in an unnecessary circumstance has in the past caused popular revolt and a swift reversion to more democratic government.
Fascism: The people are very freedom-loving. Most would take to arms against the state before accepting military rule.
Liberal democracy: Hresejnen prizes its democracy.
Socialism: So-called "equal opportunity" is high on the government's agenda, ensuring that all individuals, despite their heritage and economic circumstances, are able to go where they wish in life. The people have a greater respect for an individual's ambition and past contributions to society than they do for money.
Communism: Some of the smaller and more conservative regions, often those in our few fertile areas used for producing food, could be considered communist, as money and property is shared among individuals and considered to be that of the region. Most regions, however, place more on individual worth.
Minarchism: Due to the varying interests of Hresejnen's politically divided regions, as well as interests in equality, we require a large government. The decision-making process is done directly in ridings consisting of about a thousand people each, but varying by land size as well, which are then given equal weighting. Large councils are held often in each area, usually unofficially, to discuss matters to be brought "to the king", though these are actually routed through the "real" government automatically to all other areas after being designated numbers. People can choose to cast a vote for a matter or withdraw it at any time. When a matter has a majority, it is put into action by the real government, and is canceled if it loses this majority. The government itself controls a sizable police force to monitor the people as the people monitor it, the aforementioned small military, and merely routes taxes to the necessary institutions in exchange for a low or nonexistent direct cost to the public.
Junta: See Fascism.
National-socialism: ...See Fascism.
Anarchy: Considered a possibility, but nationalistic and interregional concerns keep it from becoming a reality.

Which one of these is legal ?

Protests: Legal, though rare. Only those who have a problem with the government system itself, which by its nature cannot be altered democratically, protest, though they are generally ignored by the government and sneered at by the majority at present.
Drugs: Legal, but individuals who are visibly drug users are frowned upon by society.
Alcohol: Legal for all ages. Considered an essential part of our culture.
Smoking: Legal, albeit not in public.
Gay Marriage: Marriage is more of a legal institution than anything else, for property rights and availability of certain services. People are expected to marry, for the nation's stability. Official gay marriage is illegal, though most religious and other institutions will perform such marriages off the record.
Gay Pride: Something rarely seen, as homosexuality is rarely, if ever, considered a part of an individual's identity.
Religious attire: Gothar wear symbols of their faith, and usually appropriate robes, in their day to day life. Regular individuals can also occasionally be seen to wear the occasional symbol. Symbols of minority religions are legal, even encouraged officially, and most individuals are more curious of them than suspicious.

Your view on Hypparchia: You're one of those nations whom our citizens point to and say, "SEE? This is what will happen if we continue raising our taxes!" You are, however, a likely trade partner.

Hresejnen is, by our standarts, a somewhat unusual nation. We are appaled by the freedoms you provide to LGBT individuals as well as your ultra-liberal drug laws, but in the same time we are quite impressed with the unity of your society in a democratic framework. There seems to be an effective self-management mentality in your people, which is something rare, and good. Our opinion is neutral at the moment mostly because the relatively weak government control in your country, but it seems like our nations could cooperate in various areas.

Your reasonable laws on drugs and religious attire, at least to an extent, compensate for the apparently ultra-free economy and negative perceptions on militarism. We could also be worried by your prejudices on alcohol and tobacco usage, although this is a rather minor issue. We are neutral in our views towards your nation.

Without doubt, this could be one of the most awkward nations we have ever encountered. A dinosaur fascist republic seems like a really mind-boggling creation to us. We are glad to know that you are against drugs, you do not view everyone as equal, and do not give much rights to LGBTs, and your strong government control is a really good thing. We are further entertained by your nation's name. In one of Hypparchia's main languages, namely Bulgarian, this word is pronounced pretty much the same way as one would pronounce "shove it [up your ...]" in that language. In any case, your nation's views impress us, and we consider you friendly.

We are truly shocked by the excessive amount of freedoms your citizens have. It seems that your nation makes no difference between human rights and abuse of freedom, and the government appears to have little control over the economy. A society such as yours could corrupt our people, and we consider you a potentially hostile nation.

by **Hypparchia** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 7:36 am

We approve your understanding that the people should have a say in politics, as well as your moderate political positions. There is some concern over your ban on smoking and in the same time lack of such on gay marriage, but we believe your society could work closely with ours. At this point, we see no reason not to think of you as a friendly nation.

Kreanoltha looks like a powerful galactic age nation with a rather conservative society. A source of worries would be your government, which seems to be a bit too democratic for your size, but your large military could probably compensate for that. We're friendly towards you, although as an Earth nation we could be of little value as a trading or a diplomatic partner.

Eldar Ulthwe is a nation somewhat distant from our understandings. We do not really communicate with races, such as those present in your nation, due to uncertainty over their...abilities. However, there seems to be a sound political system in place, although your economy seems to be incompatible to trade with ours. As such, we regard you as a neutral nation.

by **Pickled Tinkistan** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 8:02 am

I'm really bored so I may as well:

Full Nation Name: The Dominion of Pickled Tinkistan
Government Type: Independant Military. (Not sure how to elaborate beyond that)
WA Category: Psychotic Dictatorship
Civil Rights: Few
Economy: Imploded
Political Rights: Unheard Of (Getting it back to Outlawed)

How do you view...

War: A fine means of getting foreigners off our lands. Stick your foot across our border and we'll blow it off.
Diplomacy: Boring. It is more amusing to shoot foreigners than to speak with them.
Planned economy: What is this "economy" of which you speak?
Militarism: A good thing and something people of all ages are behind. Our child soldiers are the finest you will find.
Xenophobia: The only foreigner you will ever meet in this nation is either a slave, an invader, or dead.
Religion: Inconvenient and stupid. We have outgrown such silly superstition.
Multiculturalism: There is one culture. Ours. Barbarians beyond our borders might have something, but we neither know nor care.
Drugs: Culturally opposed to taking them. We prefer to see the world as it is, and taking painkillers is seen as a weakness, even in combat.
Firearms: Mandatory
LGBT individuals: Are just as good at doing anything as well as anyone else.

Your opinion on political systems such as...

Monarchy: Rank is earned, not awarded by birth.
Fascism: Appealing and undertandable. Fairly sensible.
Liberal democracy: A fine way for the numerous stupid to drag down and destroy a strong nation
Socialism: Also appealing. Again, Sensible.
Communism: A wise choice for any government
Minarchism: A small government is weak and ineffectual. This is almost the height of stupidity
Junta: Military in charge? Why, what a good idea

National-socialism: Not for us.
Anarchy: Self defeating codswallop

Which one of these is legal ?

Protests: You get shot for this. Often by schoolchildren before the military police can arrive.
Drugs: Being under the influence on duty is an offense (Exception, painkillers).
Alcohol: As above.
Smoking: Illegal
Gay Marriage: Perfectly acceptable.
Gay Pride: Meh. People are people. There is a great deal of pride in being of our great nation.
Religious attire: Clothing is illegal.

Your view on Hypparchia: You live a long way away. As far as we are concerned, you do not exist.

by **Andorianus** » Sat Aug 07, 2010 8:10 am

Full Nation Name: The community of Andorianus.
Government Type: Sensible.
WA Category: Liberal Democratic Socialists (We're a wannabe civil rights lovefest.)
Civil Rights: Excellent.
Economy: Good.
Political Rights: Superb.

How do you view...

War: Never a good thing, it costs money and lives and therefore can never have a positive influence on the world.
Diplomacy: A much better alternative to war.
Planned economy: Negative. A planned economy sounds like it can not respond to emergency situations, and is difficult to intergrate in a global economy.
Militarism: Negative, since war is a bad thing, we don't need an army anyways.
Xenophobia: Fiercly negative, for obvious reasons.
Religion: Positve, religion is usally a good thing and everyone should have the right to worshi whatever they want.
Multiculturalism: Positive. Andorianus is probably the most multicultural society on the world, with people from nealy every nation on the world.
Drugs: Making drugs illegal would only make it a commodoty to sell, only increasing the foothold in the black market.
Firearms: Same as drugs.
LGBT individuals: They can still have a positive influence on the world, as long as you give them an oppertunity to do so.

Your opinion on political systems such as...

Monarchy: Negative.
Fascism: Negative.
Liberal democracy: Postive.
Socialism: Neutral.
Communism: Neutral.
Minarchism: Postive.
Junta: Negative.
National-socialism: Uber negative.
Anarchy: Negative.

Which one of these is legal ?

Protests: Legal.
Drugs: Legal.
Alcohol: Legal.
Smoking: Legal.
Gay Marriage: Legal.
Gay Pride: Legal.
Religious attire: Legal.

Your view on Hypparchia: An evil and opressive plutocratic single-party goverment, that only cares cares about its economic and military status quo. By suspressing the population and letting them work as slaves, which is even worse. However, we will stay neutral towards you.

Full Nation Name: The Armed Republic of Arylyx
Government Type: Federal representative republic of diversified departments / democratically elected constitutional monarchy
WA Category: Democratic Socialists
Civil Rights: Excellent
Economy: Imploded
Political Rights: Good

How do you view...

War: a necessary evil. Especially when there's a bigger evil to fight.
Diplomacy: preferable to war, but not always effective.
Planned economy: syndicalism - link
Militarism: every citizen is a soldier upon adulthood. That way every citizen has the means to defend themselves.
Xenophobia: we've been on the less pleasant end of that. We much prefer equality.
Religion: faith is okay. Forcing your ideology on everyone else is not.
Multiculturalism: the more the merrier.
Drugs: nothing wrong with it as long it's a personal decision that isn't being forced on anyone.
Firearms: When you're conscripted, we give you a gun. When you depart, we let you keep it.
LGBT individuals: nothing wrong with it.

Your opinion on political systems such as...

Monarchy: acceptable insofar as it is either elected or else powerless.
Fascism: blind patriotism plus state-owned economy equals nothing good.
Liberal democracy: With education and communication infrastructure to back it up, it's the best system you can get.
Socialism: Great for equalizing wealth, until the government decides it deserves more equality than everybody else.
Communism: Works on a small scale, but too reliant on word of honor.
Minarchism: There is such a thing as too much regulation, but there is also such a thing as not enough. Whether minarchism works depends on what it still has control of.
Junta: a bunch of people with guns ordering around a whole lot more people with nothing. Bad idea.
National-socialism: see Fascism.
Anarchy: would be the perfect society if people could be trusted not to hoard, lie, cheat, betray, rape and kill for their own personal gain.

Which one of these is legal ?

Protests: insofar as they are nonviolent.
Drugs: insofar as they are not forced and no one else is endangered by one's use of them.
Alcohol: is a drug.
Smoking: is a drug.
Gay Marriage: go ahead; it's not our job to tell you what you can and can't do in the privacy of your own life.
Gay Pride: no different from pride in anything else. Harmless if tempered.
Religious attire: you can wear it, but don't expect to be very popular. People around here view religion mostly with suspicion and paranoia.

Your view on Hypparchia: Not a big fan of your economic structure; it looks like people get worked to death, and a 100% tax rate is too much power for the state. Also not comfortable with the torture bit if I get accused of something I didn't do. I appreciate your dedication to defense, but I think I'll keep my country. We outrank you in the mining sector anyway.

How do you view...

War: War should only be used when diplomacy absolutely fails.
Diplomacy: Should always be Plans A-Z.
Planned economy: While they have their positives, we choose to use a market economy. Planned economies should be used by economically weak nations to strengthen their nations.
Militarism: We believe that we should maintain a military, but only to defend in times of war.
Xenophobia: While the Unified Republic is a nation of immigrants, their are older generations to fear the newer immigrants will steal their jobs.

Multiculturalism: It is great as it strengthens the nation combining all cultures to create the Bordeguesque culture.

Firearms: Only those who pass psychological tests and have a permit.
LGBT individuals: The Unified Republic does not discriminate against them. They are considered to be normal just as heterosexuals are.

Fascism: We find this to be one of the worst ideologies possible.
Liberal democracy: This is one of the best forms of democracy.
Socialism: Socialism, while not good by itself, is very good when balanced by capitalism.

Minarchism: We do not even consider this be a way to govern. It is similar to anarchy.
Junta: The military should not govern a country as its their job to defend the nation.
National-socialism: This ideology is the worst ideology possible that is used to govern a nation.
