NOTE: In the "Stance on:" categories, some of these have two opposing ideals. These can be considered a spectrum; somewhere in between the two is perfectly acceptable and normal.

Government type: Constitutional Federal Republic
WA Category: Corporate Bordello
WA Civil Rights rating: Excellent
WA Economic rating: Frightening

WA Civil Rights rating: Good
WA Economic rating: Strong
WA Political Rights rating: Very Good

Capitalism <--> Socialism: Slightly more towards socialism
Monarchy <--> Republic: 100% Republic
Centralism <--> Federalism: Federalist

Universal suffrage: Of course
Gender equality: Absolutely. One of our special forces teams is entirely female.

Alcohol and Drugs: Only legal drugs are alcohol, tobacco, and weed.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: This has no bearing on how a person is viewed in Emmirea
Freedom of Speech: As long as you're not being a dick about it. (I.E. no nazi rallies, or protests at military funerals)
Right to Bear Arms: Every citizen is issued an assault rifle upon entry into the armed forces at 18 and are expected to keep it for life, unless they commit a felony. Felons are not allowed to own guns. Other than that anyone can buy what they can afford.
Racism and Xenophobia: What?
What is your nation best known for? Our pristine beaches, gently rolling hills, and lush mountainside jungles. Also we're kinda the "Last stop gas station" of the pacific shipping industry.

[The Nuclear Fist]

Full Name of Nation: The Communist Federal Republic of the Nuclear Fist
Government type: Benevolent Titoist-Trotskyist Dictatorship
WA Category: Father Knows Best State
WA Civil Rights rating: Good
WA Economic rating: Strong
WA Political Rights rating: Unheard Of
Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? No, as it [Civil Rights] was rated as superb, but do to highly biased issues this was reduced signifcantly without any hint of such a thing happening. However, I RP my nation as having exceptional civil rights. Also, my Economic Rights ranking was All Consuming, but after I nationalized my industry, it was severely reduced. Again, quite biased. As nationalization [under Titoist Yugoslavia(which my nation is based off of)] deeply improved their economy. See factbook in sig for more info.
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? A benevolent dictatorship(of the people) who truly wants to bring peace.

Stance on:
Government: Needed. Without government, the people suffer.
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Closer to authoritarian, although the government mostly stays out of peoples' personal lives.
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Socialism. To be specific, Titoist National Communism(see factbook).
Monarchy <--> Republic: Republic.
Centralism <--> Federalism: Federalism.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Limited autocracy.
Militarism <--> Pacifism: We prefer militant pacifism.
Society: Uh...
Religion <--> Atheism: Atheism
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: Progressivism
Universal suffrage: All citizens(provided they are at least 15) are allowed to vote.
Gender equality: All are equal, and shall be treated as such.
Species equality: Animals are not equal to man, although they must not be abused. Not to mention that hunting is illegal in most places in the Nuclear Fist.
Slavery: We only practice penal slavery.
Environmentalism: Good, as long as it does not end up dismantling your nation.
Alcohol and Drugs: Legal to all above the age of 17.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: None of the government's buisness.
Freedom of Speech: All speech is legal, as long as it is not direct threats against the government.
Right to Bear Arms: It is illegal to own anything above a 9mm handgun in the Nuclear Fist.
Racism and Xenophobia: Enemy og progress, and thus enemy of the Nuclear Fist.
What is your nation best known for? The fact that we will ally ourselves with anyone, as long as their people are not oppressed. We do not judge based on ideology. Oh, and the fact that all major information is held in storage as actual documents, not as computer files.
Any other relevant information? Unfinished MT factbook in sig.

[Inutoland]

Qualah
Foreign Service Advisory: Cultural Caution
Inutolanders travelling to Qualah are advised to use caution. This nation is not classified as dangerous, but extreme cultural differences make this a difficult place for Inutolanders to visit. Be aware that Qualah is an Islamic autocracy implementing Shari'a law, and that the partial and complete public nudity which is fully acceptable in Inutoland are forbidden under pain of extreme sanction. Nandahi and Puruhi humans should be aware that Homo sapiens is the only recognised species of human in the nation, and should not travel to Qualah unless extremely necessary.
On the other hand, business travellers will find the centralised government a refreshing change from the multi-layered confederation of home, and recognise the wisdom of their mixed economy.
On the whole, travellers to Qualah who are willing to work with the culture rather than against it will find the typical Islamic hospitality as warm as that of home.

---

Mount Shavano
Foreign Service Advisory: Christian Democracy
The first thing that will strike visitors to Mount Shavano is the prevalence of the marginal Inutolander religion Christianity. Be aware that visitors to the country will find their native polytheism continually questioned and conversion attempts will be made.
Having said that, Mount Shavano is ideologically fairly similar to Inutoland, with the exception that the nation is considerably more capitalist. Visitors should also take note that the right to bear arms is considered to be paramount, and that all natives are to be presumed armed and capable of using said weaponry.
Business travellers will find the small government and open business policies pleasant, though this is a nation of Homo sapiens alone, and Nandahi (H. neanderthalensis) should be aware of this.

---

Emmirea
Foreign Service Advisory: Armed but Welcoming
Aside from its small size, republican government and openness to alternate expressions of sexuality, Emmirea is very similar to Inutoland. The only caveat that the Foreign service give concerns the Emmirean policy regarding firearms. Citizens travelling to Emmirea should be aware that all Emmireans have access to assault weapons. However, hospitality is as prized her as it is in Inutoland, and this nation makes its money from tourists, so Inutolanders should feel completely safe here, despite the weaponised locals.

---

The Nuclear Fist
Foreign Service Advisory: Mostly-Benevolent Dictatorship
The combination of nationalism and communism practiced in The Nuclear Fist sounds a lot more offputting than its actual expression in the nation. Inutolanders should be aware that this is a dictatorship, though a socially progressive one which allows a much larger amount of freedom to its citizens than might appear from its form of government. The Nuclear Fist operates a system of penal slavery, which most will find abhorrent. The politically astute will also find The Nuclear Fists blindness to ideology in its selection of allies somewhat confusing, though others will find the lack of ideological tests refreshingly pragmatic.
All in all, the Foreign Service is not sure what to make of The Nuclear Fist. Travellers should proceed with caution.

[The Nuclear Fist]

It should be noted that by penal slavery, we mean we do not have a normal prison system. Instead of criminals sitting around in prisons, they are put to work in labour camps for a time.

[Wolohanistan]

Full Name of Nation: The Armed Republic of Wolohanistan
Government type: Tribal social democratic republic
WA Category: Left-Wing utopia
WA Civil Rights rating: Superb
WA Economic rating: Good

Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? They're fairly accurate
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? A highly militarised state of 22 united tribes that holds tradition and ancient honour codes above all else.

Stance on:
Government: A meeting point for the representatives of each tribe so that they may discuss the needs of their tribes
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Libertarianism
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Socialism
Monarchy <--> Republic: Republic
Centralism <--> Federalism: Federalism
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Democracy
Militarism <--> Pacifism: Militarism, though we do not look for war. We simply prepare for potential invasion
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: Atheism, the state is secular
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: This one is difficult. Wolohanistani's follow tradition to the letter but the nation itself is very progressive.
Universal suffrage: Every Wolohanistani citizen has the right to vote.
Gender equality: All genders are equal
Species equality: All sentient species are equal
Slavery: Dishonourable and disgusting, illegal

Freedom of Speech: A very important right.
Right to Bear Arms: A major part of Wolohanistani society. Everyone is armed.
Racism and Xenophobia: Almost non-existent. We're just a little cautious around foreigners.
What is your nation best known for? The complex tribal system, extreme landscapes and arms manufacturing
Any other relevant information? Not anything I can think of, feel free to search though my posts of you need more info.

[Saurisia]

Full Name of Nation: The United Dinosaur States of Saurisia
Government type: Single-Party Authoritarian Libertarian Right-Wing Republic
WA Category: Father Knows Best State
WA Civil Rights rating: Some
WA Economic rating: Frightening
WA Political Rights rating: Few
Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? Hell no!
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? Saurisia is an immense nation populated mostly by sapient (and some Athro) talking Dinosaurs whose government is largely distrustful of Humans.

Stance on:
Government:
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: We prefer Libertarianism
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Capitalism all the way!
Monarchy <--> Republic: Republic's better, though Monarchy's okay...
Centralism <--> Federalism: Federalism, anything else is tyranny!
Democracy <--> Autocracy: We're an odd mix of both, so...
Militarism <--> Pacifism: MILITARISM, FUCK YEAH!
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: Eh, tolerate both
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: Both, we progress to the future (a Dinosaur-dominated future), but also hold onto the good of the past (the Mesozoic era)
Universal suffrage: We're for both genders voting and getting jobs
Gender equality: Again, we don't mind this, though many females still prefer taking care of their kids
Species equality: Equality's a lie, Reptiles are better because we've been here far longer and have ruled the Earth longer than Mammals have
Slavery: When limited, it's good
Environmentalism: We Dinosaurs are the true caretakers of the environment
Alcohol and Drugs: Alcohol, okay, Drugs (unless it's nicotine in cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and chewable tobacco) is a no-no
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: YUCK!
Freedom of Speech: Great
Right to Bear Arms: Also great!
Racism and Xenophobia: Unless it's xenophobia against Humans by Reptiles, it's a no-no
What is your nation best known for? Being full of talking Prehistoric Reptiles?
Any other relevant information? Nah...

[Inutoland]

Wolohanistan
Foreign Service Advisory: Mostly Welcoming
The Armed Republic of Wolohanistan is a federal republic of 22 tribes, with complex relationships between them. In this, it is similar to the Inuto lineage-based nobility system. The libertarian socialist-leaning government grants a great deal of freedom to its citizens, and Wolohanistan accepts all sentient species as equal. The two caveats the Foreign Service advises for Inutolander travellers is that Wolohanistan is highly militarised and all Wolohanistanis should be presumed armed, and that the inhabitants of the nation are somewhat cautious in making friends with foreigners.

---

Saurisia
Foreign Service Advisory: AVOID
The United Dinosaur States of Saurisia is an extreme right-wing autocracy that stops short of outright tyranny by the virtue of its government being "democratically" elected (though the Foreign Service has some questions over the legitimacy of elections in a single-party state). Potential travellers tshould be aware that Saurisia is run by mutated sapient dinosaurs. Mammalian species, and humans in particular, are systematically discriminated against and their rights denied. Given its history, some of this can be understood, but the Saurisian government is not interested in repairing relations with the genus Homo. The country is extremely militaristic and is run by an alliance of capitalist/fascist interests, and the human population seem to be either brainwashed dinosaur-lovers who actually subscribe to the government's ideology of "Reptilian Supremacy", or little better than slaves of the sapient reptiles. All Inutolanders are warned that entry into Saurisia is NOT recommended.

Full Name of Nation: The Town-State of Paradasea
Government type: Representative democracy with capitalism and some socialism
WA Category: Civil rights lovefest
WA Civil Rights rating: Superb

Full Name of Nation: The Fourth Reich of Herminia
Government type: Single-Party National Socialist Dictatorship, with some elections held
WA Category: Father Knows Best State
WA Civil Rights rating: Some
WA Economic rating: Good
WA Political Rights rating: Unheard of
Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? Ja, pretty much
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? Herminia is a massive mult-climate National Socialist state, who follows various forms of Socialism, Environmentalism, and Militarism, and is xenophobic towards ethnicties not designated "Superior" as well as sentient non-Humans as a whole, often enslaving them (espcially the non-Humans)

Stance on:
Government:
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Authoritarianism
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Socialism is best!
Monarchy <--> Republic: Neither, Dictatorship's best!

Freedom of Speech: Don't speak out against the Party, schweinhund!
Right to Bear Arms: Somewhat have, guns are largely restricted

[Saurisia]

[quote="Inutoland";p="3498343](though the Foreign Service has some questions over the legitimacy of elections in a single-party state).[/quote]

They're perfectly legit, just that only the Dinoist Party can participate in elections.

the human population seem to be either brainwashed dinosaur-lovers who actually subscribe to the government's ideology of "Reptilian Supremacy", or little better than slaves of the sapient reptiles.

They're not slaves, they're just apathetic, and could care less if they're oppressed or not.

By the way, we dislike you too, and don't expect any Saurisian tourists to visit your pitiful state!

[Inutoland]

Paradasea
Foreign Service Advisory: Basically Welcoming
The small town-sized state of Paradasea is one of those tiny "blink and you miss it" places. A libertarian government and high civil and political rights combine with a positive attitude to environmentalism make this a pleasant place to visit, should the Inutolander traveller have reason to.

---

Herminia
Foreign Service Advisory: Extreme Caution/Avoid
The Fourth Reich of Herminia is a national socialist single-party dictatorship which persecutes humans it deems "inferior" and enslaves non-Homo sapiens. Inutolanders of the two minority species should avoid travel to Herminia, and even Homo sapiens Inutolanders should exercise extreme caution. Herminians truly believe in the ideology of "Aryan supremacy", meaning that the Asiatic-like Inuto racial type is one of those deemed "inferior" and subject to systematic persecution. Avoid if possible.

---

New Freedomstan
Foreign Service Advisory: Caution Required
New Freedomstan is a socialist state which manages nonetheless to avoid the corruption usually associated with such. It should be noted that those of its citizens deemed to be "Bourgeois" are barred from voting, and a sizeable paramilitary police/propaganda agency keeps people in line. The state grants a lot of individual autonomy in non-political matters, but the political arena is strictly controlled. State atheism is practiced, so religious Inutos should exercise discretion in the practice of their religious beliefs. As foreign travellers, Inutolanders are instructed NOT to comment on New Freedomstan's politics in anything but fully positive terms, even when asked directly. Failure to follow this advisory may result in unpredictable consequences for the individual traveller.

[Ramsetia]

Full Name of Nation: The Imperial Territories of the Ramset People (Imperial Territories of Ramsetia, or just Ramsetia)
Government type: Absolute Elective Monarchy, self-styled as an empire.
OOC note; I do not roleplay according to the WA feed page at all, aside from minor inspirations from issue outcomes.

WA Civil Rights rating: Not a WA member. (Superb)
WA Economic rating: Not a WA member. (Very Strong)
WA Political Rights rating: Not a WA member. (Rare)
Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? Wouldn't know. No communications with WA. (well, civil rights and economics, yes. Nation type no, and political rights no.)
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? Ramsetia is a nation with a harsh, arid climate and a people who would rather ask 'why not?' than 'why?', leading to an air of uniqueness about them.

Stance on:
Government: As small as possible, minimal interference in civil life.
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Closer to Lib, but still in the middle
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Middle.
Monarchy <--> Republic: Monarchy. One voice, one vision.
Centralism <--> Federalism: Middle.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Autocracy.
Militarism <--> Pacifism: Middle.
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: middle.

Alcohol and Drugs: go ahead, just don't hurt anyone else.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: see above.
Freedom of Speech: complete.
Right to Bear Arms: After thorough education on the risks and responsibilities. Just don't go arming bears.
Racism and Xenophobia: an alien concept
What is your nation best known for? Flipping the bird to the aerodynamics gods.

[Inutoland]

Ramsetia
Foreign Service Advisory: Climate Advisory
The Imperial Territories of Ramsetia is an absolutist elective monarchy, sharing a form of government with the early Inuto states that formed the Alliance. The tendency of people to ask "why not?" rather than "why?" makes Ramset science and technology an adventurous and forward-looking discipline, and Inutolander travellers should prepare for interesting uses of existing technology. The basically centrist government ideology is similar to Inutoland, and the high values given to sustainable environmentalism and inter-species equality of sapient species is considered a model to the world. Ramsetia can be considered a friendly nation, sharing values and outlook with Inutoland.
The one caution the Foreign Service have for Inutolander travellers concerns the Ramsetian climate, which is almost unbelievably arid and harsh. Travellers should minimise exposure to the unfamiliar dry climate as much as possible.

[Inutoland]

I think it's time to bump this.

Government type: multinational absolute monarchy
WA Category: Iron Fist Consumerists

Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: In a social sense, quite libertarian. All things considered, somewhere closer to the middle.
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Near the socialist end, with some appreciation for the free market.
Monarchy <--> Republic: Completely republican.
Centralism <--> Federalism: Not federated, although the central government has devolved some power into smaller subunits.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Completely democratic.
Militarism <--> Pacifism: Completely pacifist.
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: Very in favor of a secular state, though there is significant religious pluralism within the population (and many nonbelievers, as well).
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: Eh, both. More progressivism but many people tend to be stuck in their ways.
Universal suffrage: Voting rights for all who pass the citizenship test beyond age 14.
Gender equality: Yes.
Species equality: No. (Humans are the only sentient species.)
Slavery: Illegal and reprehensible.
Environmentalism: Necessary, should be a governmental priority.
Alcohol and Drugs: Banned, groups using them for religious worship can file for exemptions.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: Homo- and bi-sexuality are both legal and mostly tolerated with full civil rights. Individuals can identify as neither male nor female, but full-fledged transsexuality is stigmatized.
Freedom of Speech: Complete.
Right to Bear Arms: No. Unless you count crossbows and water guns...?
Racism and Xenophobia: Silly, backward, and wrong. The government can't do much to eliminate them in the unfortunate cases where they do exist, though.

WA Civil Rights rating: Average
WA Economic rating: Very Strong
WA Political Rights rating: Very Good

How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? Four nations that united to support their common heritage and spread their power across the globe.

Stance on:
Government:
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Authoritarianism, with a slight nudge towards the middle.
Capitalism <--> Socialism: Capitalism all the way
Monarchy <--> Republic: Absolutely monarchy
Centralism <--> Federalism: Around the middle, but more towards Federalism.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Autocracy absolutely! You can't trust simple peasants to know anything about ruling a nation!
Militarism <--> Pacifism: Militarism no doubt. A strong army is needed to protect our traditions.

Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: The more pious the better, we tend to say. Atheists exists, but they are usually looked upon with suspicion.
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: Without our traditions we are nothing!
Universal suffrage: No, we believe that everyone should do what they do best. Farmers are trained from birth to farm crops, and that's what they do. Nobles are educated to become rulers and therefore they rule. If we let farmers rule (through voting) things would go straight down the drain!
Gender equality: Men have their roles and women theirs, that's how it is. So no, they are not given equal opportunities or things like that.
Species equality: No. We don't want unhuman rabble in our lands. Human-like non-humans are accepted but generally discriminated.
Slavery: We believe in the basic freedom of all men, slavery is illegal within Valsir, as it always has been.
Environmentalism: The beautiful nature of Valsir must be preserved in all its glory, but we can't let our industrial might get too restricted.
Alcohol and Drugs: Everyone loves a little alcohol, and we have no restrictions on it, except only adults can buy it. Most drugs are not illegal but few have gotten any real foothold within Valsir.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: While homosexuality is frowned upon it's not made a deal of as long as it's handled discreetly. Transgender operations may not be performed within Valsir.
Freedom of Speech: Yes, but to a certain extent. Treasonous speech is punished.
Right to Bear Arms: All men in Valsir are expected to be trained in the use of weapons, and may carry handguns openly in public.
Racism and Xenophobia: Neither is well spread within Valsir, most people are good at integrating with and learning about other cultures and are not bothered by them.
What is your nation best known for? Our many emigrants that can be found in many nations around the world.

How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? A model of Leninist-Titoist principles, with both authoritarian and democratic aspects, both nationalist and internationalist attitudes, applied in a stable form on a country of baboon-lovers; scientific, progressive, militaristic, and very French Revolutionary / Napoléonic in many respects (guillotine included).

Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: We tend heavilly towars the Authoritarian end.

Centralism <--> Federalism: We are a mostly Centralized state, but two autonomous republics are joined to us in a federal way.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Here, we are greatly in favour of Democratic institutions binding our limitedly autocratic government: decisions are made by committee, the People's Soviets promulgate laws, and everyone, even the leader, is held accountable to the collective will.
Militarism <--> Pacifism: We are unabashedly Militaristic, though this is mainly to safeguard peace for us.
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: Atheism, 100%; religion is heavilly persecuted and suppressed.
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: Progress is our goal.
Universal suffrage: Necessary for a true people's democracy.
Gender equality: Absolutely adhered-to.
Species equality: As long as they are capable of reason and will, all sentient species are equally entitled to the franchise of 'person'.
Slavery: An evil blight; however, penal slavery near-identical to that of The Nuclear Fist is practiced (convicts serve time doing work, not rotting in a cell).
Environmentalism: Nature is ours to command ONLY if it serves the greater good of Nature in the end; we must preserve and encourage.
Alcohol and Drugs: Corrupting vices, that must be stomped out.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: Perfectly acceptable and healthy.
Freedom of Speech: 'Say what you will, do as we say'.
Right to Bear Arms: Restricted; only the state may utilize the means of lethal force.

[The Grand World Order]

Full Name of Nation: The Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order
Government type: Military-controlled Imperial-Italian Fascist Dictatorship
WA Category: Corporate Police State
WA Civil Rights rating: Few
WA Economic rating: Frightening
WA Political Rights rating: Outlawed
Do you think the WA's categorisation and ratings are accurate? To a point.
How would you characterise your nation in a single sentence? The GWO is a first-world, almost "zeroth world" nation led by a Fascist regime that promotes intellectualism, patriotism, and militarism/imperialism.

Stance on:
Government: Vital to all states. Where law ends, anarchy begins.
Libertarianism <--> Authoritarianism: Authoritarianism, by far. Some would call us totalitarian.
Capitalism <--> Socialism: We are dead smack in the middle, though of course we lean a little towards laissez-faire capitalism.
Monarchy <--> Republic: Monarchy is preferred to the disgusting sham known as a Republic.
Centralism <--> Federalism: Federalism.
Democracy <--> Autocracy: Autocracy- wait, isn't this virtually the same as the Monarchy comparison?
Militarism <--> Pacifism: Militarism is vital to our survival.
Society:
Religion <--> Atheism: The state is secular. However, we're very proud that most of our people are religious.
Progressivism <--> Traditionalism: We do not fit on this scale. We are for the splendor of old days, but our current world society condemns our revolutionary beliefs.
Universal suffrage: No. Mankind isn't ready for self rule yet.
Gender equality: Men are better at some things, women at others. That's just nature for you.
Species equality: What? If you mean animal rights, yes, we think animals should be treated fairly normally. If you mean subhuman mongrel science accidents trying to pass off as human, than no.
Slavery: Hurts our economy, the GWO worker is not to be replaced by a barely literate savage.
Environmentalism: It's nice to have an environment, but in the grand scheme of things, the environment means little compared to human progress.
Alcohol and Drugs: Alcohol requires a license to purchase. Most recreational drugs are banned, with the dealing/smuggling/unauthorized production/furnishing of them a capital crime.
Homo/Bi/Trans-sexuality: Transsexuals are disgusting. However, as long as homosexuals keep things to their own kind, we don't care.
Freedom of Speech: To a point. If you're provoking rebellion with lies and such, and seeking to cause another civil war, you will lose your privilege to free speech.
Right to Bear Arms: It's a nice civil defense bonus.
Racism and Xenophobia: Not always a bad thing. Generally, racism only goes as far as "of COURSE a damn nigger did it!" when a black man is convicted of a crime, and xenophobia is regulated to occasional odd looks from people and suspicion.
What is your nation best known for? Military prowess, economic strength, and the position of being a great/superpower.
Any other relevant information? We're hellbent on spreading Fascism by any means necessary.
