Polygamy in your nation?

Postby The Sentenial Empire » Sun Oct 10, 2010 11:21 pm

Just what the title says, please post IC only.

In Sentenia polygamy is legal and considered practical within households. Even homes with monogomy a second figure usually resides as a member of the family most often taking care of children or housekeeping (no particular gender bias as both men and women practice this)

Polygamy is legal in Waterlords. As a naval country, our troops often create new families in each territories they deployed. They can bring their families to the Waterlords as long as they are productive, loyal and good-looking people.

it's illegal and most women in our country oppose the idea strongly. A Socialist Maolandian woman is very strong and independent.

It is legal as the government does not intrude into the bedrooms of its citizenry, although it is not widely practiced.

Polygamy in Wa no Kuni is legal, but is not practiced by a majority of the populace. It is an ancient tradition that is practiced mainly in more rural areas.

There is no such thing as marriage in my nation, so there is no real polygamy either. All hives are ruled by a single Hive Queen (check out the Beauty Pageant thread) and consist of thousands of male drones.

Legal and common for both genders. It is not uncommon for Genomitan citizens who are amrried to the same person to also have relationships with each other, wether with a member of the same or the other gender. This is not viewed as adultery, as it helps to strengthen the bonds between all people involved.

theoretically legal but it is still extremely rare and seen as extremely dishonorable by the Imerians while in some realms as Erathia is it more common as the people only consider marriage a political thing without sex as both genders have their own harems.

Legal, but is very rare and often looked down upon, even by mainstream practicers of Gran Hidorisan Paganism.

As Gran Hidorisa is an archipelago, it is typically only practiced in the far south western islands.

It's not illegal - we don't recognize marriages, but we do recognize relationships and if that relationship happens to be polygamous in nature it's no concern of ours. Civil unions and monogamy in general isn't all that common here.

There are no marriages in ostroeuropa.
If you wish to register your partner and yourself as officially united for welfare purposes, please take form 30BF and fill it in before sending it to the department of redundancy department, then you will be added to the queue.
You may fill this form out indefinately, though the welfare will only apply to one union and is dependent on the number of citizen units you and your partner produce.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.
