Condemn or Commend?

[Volnotov]

Commend!


In the State of Volnotov the syndicates and megacorporations enforce their own laws and have their own military sized private armies/militias.

[Venti Gen Italia]

Commend!

Commend. We are a corporate monarchy. You will find increased savings if you amalgamate the smaller armies into a joint controlled subdivision of your munitions corporations.

We do not believe in income tax of any sort.

[Machinarium]

Commend!

We do not believe in income tax of any sort.

Commend, rich people do not deserve to be taxed exorbitantly because of they had the brains and hard work to make money. We implement a progressive income tax with a maximum cap of 10%.
In Machinarium, factory farming is allowed as long as the food eventually produced is safe for human consumption. No cruelty laws are in place.

[Kreanoltha]

In Machinarium, factory farming is allowed as long as the food eventually produced is safe for human consumption. No cruelty laws are in place.

Commend. That's the smart way to do things.


In the IIRK the only tax the federal government may levy is a 10% flat-rate income tax.

Condemn, still too high.




If the State of Volnotov would be a person it would be a sociopathic, sadistic, psychopathic mass-murderer.

[Kreanoltha]

Condemn. That's probably a bad thing.


The IIRK doesn't adhere to any international law. We are in every sense of the word a fully autonomous nation.

Commend!

The Saurisian military has a huge stockpile of chemical, nuclear, and incendinary weapons because the High Command feels that, in war, anything goes.

[Kreanoltha]

The Saurisian military has a huge stockpile of chemical, nuclear, and incendinary weapons because the High Command feels that, in war, anything goes.

Commend. Once again that's the smart way to fight.


In the IIRK the use of lethal force in defense of both life and property is not only legal it is encouraged.

Condemn. In our country, we would lose wa-a-a-ay too many people.

In DTA there is no minimum age for alcohol consumption.

[Licana]

Commend, In certain circumstances, extreme force is a necessity...and it is always good to keep your options open.

In Licana, a public ID system is used. In this system, each citizen is given a specific and unique ID that denotes age, incarcerations, medical information, and other government information and documentation (like weapons permits, drivers licenses, and security clearances). They act very much like a credit card, slide the card through a machine and it reads the information sent from a small microchip in the card. These machines also can detect the composition of the card, and can detect most faked cards. These cards also contain no information on banking or monetary assets, to prevent any viable identity theft.

EDIT: my commendation was to Saurisa
Actors: Condemn, drugs that can cause such permanent damage should be heavily regulated, and should never reach the hands of a child.

Condemn. That is a massive invasion of privacy.


In the IIRK the government is only allowed to keep a list of names and phone numbers in order to keep track of its citizens. That information is in no way allowed to be used for any reason during peace times.

[The Adrian Empire]

Commend, though that seems somewhat impractical.

To continue on the identity theme, residents of the Adrian Empire are only obligated to fill out a small form so that the government can identify them, the form includes their physical profile (picture/height/weight), their name, their date of birth, their place of birth, and their parents. Citizens are given ID cards which they are recommended to carry at all times, mostly because it's a very handy form of personal identification.

However, the Ministry of Information has a particular love of finding random information (mostly for posting in FN&I), and giving them more comprehensive knowledge is always appreciated, though obviously not obligatory. More often then not they just collect data from consumer surveys.

Commend, This is actually quite reasonable.

(I realized just now that I had brought up ID cards in an earlier post. Ironically, Kreanoltha also condemned that for being invasion of privacy)

Instead of having several separate intelligence services for several different different purposes (i.e. in America, The FBI is operates more domestically, while the CIA tends work more on the international level) We have a single entity known as the Licana Intelligence Bureau, or LIB. The gather both military intelligence and assist domestic police in Licana. They tend to have near-unimpeded access to Licana's security systems (based on clearance of individual agents, of course), and have a fairly large staff and a large budget. Complete and thorough background checks are required for any moderate-level clearance assignments.

[New Balkaney]

Commend. Cutting out red tape and inter-agency wrangling is a good step to the security of the people and the nation's posterity.

In New Balkaney, all citizens are required, upon enrolling into compulsory educational systems, to receive at the time of their immunizations and physical, a surgically implanted and adaptive Neural Network Processor, or NNP, in order to almost permanent connect them to the Cross-Net employed by the Federation, as well as to serve as a personal computerized identification and life management system.

Those who fail for some moral or principle objection to receive an NNP are given a supplementary, external system and urged to comply or face extreme taxation and being ostracized from society at large, until they are legally forced to receive the upgrades upon enrollment in compulsory military service at age 17.

Condemn, governments are so backwards and outdated. We do commend the NNP wich connects people to the Cross-Net though. A similar system is in use in/at many Volnotovian corporations(The Volnotovian people do not mind having weird cybernetic devices being implanted into their bodies as the Volnotovian people are already fully intigrated with technology, to be exact - they could not survive without the numerous nano-, gene- and neurotechnological devices that enhance their bodies).

We've already condemned this.


In the IIRK we do not have an equivalent to the "FBI". The government contracts private firms in stead. We do however maintain the KIR, a combination of the US's CIA and NSA.

Condemn (I don't care if it's already been done, I'm doing it now and I have different reasons) - murderers who have no reason to do so, must be put down.

In Basementees, we put chips into every citizen's head, so that they can be prevented from committing criminal offences. The chip also allows us gain evidence for crimes as it records things.

In the State of Volnotov people are simply "designed" by their corporation or syndicate. Unmodified/Unenhanced people no longer exist. In case someone turns out to be a thief/murdered/ect. he/she will be dealt with(Incineration, forced labour, slavery, experimentation, organ haversting, ect).

Condemn. We do not believe national security should be left to private firms.

In light of the massive costs of lawsuits, La Arcata has legalized dueling.

In the State of Volnotov arena duels are common and people often fight to the death for eternal fame and glory.

National security? The FBI has nothing to do with national security. It's the federal government's detective agency. It makes perfect sense to privatize it.

@Volnotov: Commend. It makes perfect sense to legalize it. Dueling has a proud tradition.



In the IIRK it is illegal to nationalize anything not expressly declared in the Kreanolthan Constitution. Doing so is grounds for summary impeachment.

@Saurisia
Commend(for some reason).



In the Volnotov ethics, morality and "rights" are seen as backwards concepts and advocating such flawed "ideas" will end you up being send to a labour camp or executed.
