Capitalism: much better than the alternatives (fascism/Marxism)

Feminism: this is a highly patriarchal society, as it should be....the femmes should be glad they are allowed jobs these days
Greed: a fact of life, like tornadoes and depression
Homosexuality: we're learning to live and let live on that subject (it hasn't been easy, with so many homophobic rulers in our past)
Pollution and environmentalism: scratch a Green, find a Red, as the Chileans say
Religion: has its place....recent estimates indicate that we (the average Tryphalians) are probably Christians or Muslims, with a decent Jewish minority as well....but we're sort of lukewarm (don't tell Jesus or Allah, okay?)
Socialism: not impressed

Homosexuality: fine with us, but don't tell the clergy
Pollution and environmentalism: a Communist plot to bring down the economy, or at least that's our current response

Atheism: Religion is pretty central to our society, so...
Capitalism: Unrestrained greed can lead to great advancement, but also to atrocity. A moderate approach is the way to go.

Feminism: We belive the genders should be equal and that focusing on one or the other leads to inequality.

Drugs: Hard drugs are illegal. The rest are legal but regulated.
Feminism: Speech advocating the dominence of gender over the other is suppresed, as is most speech critising the government (like a lot of feminist speech) as well as anything wierd (such as the vagina monolouges).
Homosexuality: Totally legal. Gay people can marry, adopt children and join the military.
Pollution and environmentalism: Extensive envirmental protection laws are in place.

Korintar wrote:Nation name: Free Confederated Peoples of Korintar
Government type:Demarchy
Economic system:Participatory Economics

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Pro choice, although most encourage alternatives whenever possible
Animal rights: Oppose unnecessary cruelty in farming methods and neglect of pets, as any sensible person would
Atheism: Atheists are deranged
Capitalism: No
Capital punishment: Last resort, a very last resort
Drugs: it's their body, and as long as they don't hurt anyone, whatever.
Feminism: Support
Greed: Yuck, greed is one the worst sins of all
Homosexuality: Meh, don't like it, but it is a free country last time I checked
Pollution and environmentalism: Called to be good stewards of God's creation, are we not?
Religion: Positive, we are predominantly Christian and Jewish
Socialism: Positive, although it does tend towards authoritarianism in some forms and just as severe corruption as capitalism in others- we prefer syndicalism or mutualism.
Veganism: Some monastics engage in this, but most Korintaris don't mind a little meat in their diet. They prefer the real thing to soy, more natural in their mind.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: No laws beyond informed consent, which is standard for any medical procedure.
Animal rights: There are some animal protection laws- mistreatment and abuse of animals may result in caning the guilty party/parties.
Atheism: Whatever
Capitalism: No
Capital punishment: Last resort, very last resort!
Drugs: Few laws, except for regulations concerning purity (mostly externalised by industry standards), some drugs require a prescription. Only a small handful are actually banned/heavily restricted, but that does not mean medicinal research can not be done with them.
Feminism: support
Homosexuality: nationally, same rights as everybody else; locally, getting better, but it still depends on where in Korintar one goes- federal government's presence is not really felt in the rural regions
Pollution and environmentalism: A healthy environment today means a healthy economy tomorrow.
Religion: no state religion, but the Church has been a quite a powerful check on state power and quite resistant against tyranny throughout history. People are perfectly free to publicly practice whatever beliefs they hold and to engage in evangelism if their faith commands or encourages it.
Socialism: We are syndicalists/trade unionists


Overall, the Free Confederated Peoples of Korintar is in line with the morals of Tfelistan. Though they could be a little more fervent in their beliefs, there is nothing wrong with them.

Promisance wrote:Nation name: The Empire of Promisance
Government type: Corporate Police State
Economic system: See Government Type

Average citizen's opinion on
It doesn't mater what the average citizen thinks; it only what the government tells them to think.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: No. An aborted life is one less life available for the labor pool.
Animal rights: hahahahaha what rights?
Atheism: Atheists exist, sure.
Capitalism: Absolutely.
Capital punishment: Yes. When one's actions have consequences that effect the smooth flow of business (i.e. murder, rape, assault) then it is deemed their meager contribution to the labor pool no longer outweighs the detriment caused by their actions.
Drugs: Pharmaceuticals. Recreational drugs hurts productivity.
Feminism: Women are afforded the same rights as men, and are encouraged to be proud of their femininity, but are given no special laws or privileges not given to men.
Homosexuality: Homosexuals exist, sure. Allowed civil unions if they so desire.
Pollution and environmentalism: It is important to take care of natural resources, but not at the expense of the economy, urban development, or national expansion. Pro-Environmental policies are often encouraged through green-businesses and subsequent green marketing.
Religion: It is the privilege of every man, woman, or child to pick whatever religion they like. Followers of religion are afforded no special laws or treatment that supersedes established law.
Socialism: The government understands that it will profit best when its people profit best, and their people profit best when they are allowed to succeed or fail on their own merit.


The Empire of Promisance is far too capitalist and far too controlling in regards to what its citizens can and can't do with their own bodies. However, you do earn some points for your civil unions for gays, as well as your pro-environmentalist stance.

Feminism: whats that?

Feminism: non-existant. why bother when everybody is equal?
Homosexuality: so what? why is it any business of anybody elses?
Pollution and environmentalism: no extremes
Religion: legal
Socialism: not illegal, but laughed off quite frequently as a failed doctrine.


Though we applaud your legalization of abortion, homosexuality, we still find your prohibition of drugs to be too controlling and your love of capitalism to be dangerous. We are also a bit wary of your suspicion of socialism, as we feel that all people should be equal.

Economic system: Either communist or monopolistic capitalist, depending on how you lok at it

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Somewhat frowned upon, but not stigmatized

Atheism: The Machine is god. To deny the Machine is to deny existence
Capitalism: Dangerous
Capital punishment: Only for extreme cases
Drugs: Irresponsible
Feminism: Unheard of; Deus in Machina has always been egalitarian
Greed: The greatest sin
Homosexuality:
Pollution and environmentalism: Once again, pffffffft
Religion: There are no gods but the Machine
Socialism: The most sensible option
Veganism: Meh, eat wat you want

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: Not officially sanctioned, but not restriced either
Animal rights: Animal what now?
Atheism: Illegal
Capitalism: There is no free market. The Machine regulates all trade.
Capital punishment: A waste of good human resource. Many violent criminals can still be useful in certain fields
Drugs: Illegal
Feminism: Unheard of
Homosexuality: Indifferent
Pollution and environmentalism: Don't make me laugh
Religion: All non-Mechanist religions are banned
Socialism: Workers must be taken care of


Deus in Machina is a fairly agreeable socialist nation without any traditional religion, it loses some points for lacking care for the environment. It's a bit of a vanilla nation, but we certainly don't mind your views too much.

Nation name: The Kingdom of Greater Rhodes
Government type: Democratic Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy
Economic system: Pro-Market Mixed Economy

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: People should be more careful in sex, but If it must be done, it should be done early on in the pregnancy (first trimester preferably)
Animal rights: Animals shouldn't be disrespected
Atheism: You can't really prove it, but you can't really disprove it. The most rational position is agnosticism.
Capitalism: Beneficial if its moderated
Capital punishment: Doesn't make sense to me
Drugs: Wanna get high?
Feminism: Why? Men and women are already equal
Greed: Not cool, man
Homosexuality: Cool, man.
Pollution and environmentalism: I'm not really a fan of pollution.
Religion: See atheism
Socialism: Socialist democratic policies are nice
Veganism: I'm not super into meat, but I just don't think I could commit to veganism

Government's policies regarding

Atheism: Greater Rhodes is officially secular
Capitalism: We are somewhat pro-market, but regulate some aspects of capitalism scrupulously

Nation name: The Democratic Syndicates of Threlizdun
Government type: Social Anarchy
Economic system: Free market socialism with participatory economics, syndicalism, and a gift market.

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Pro Choice
Animal rights: We have several laws protecting both wild and domesticated animal rights. Meat eating is legal, though factory farming is not. All meat products are either hunted or raised locally.
Atheism: Perfectly acceptable
Capitalism: We dissagree with the concept of money, class division, and employer-worker relations, though we don't strongly oppose it if it has some regulation
Capital punishment: We dissagree with it
Drugs: All are legal, though we are starting to question whether only soft drugs should be legal. The legal age is 18.
Feminism: Women, men, genderqueer, or any others are all treated equally.
Greed: Wrong. This is our main problem with capitalism. Most religions actually have started teaching socialism as a necessary belief to prevent greed.
Homosexuality: Perfectly acceptable. All consensual sexual relations above the age of consent (15) are legal. Almost everyone is fine with them, and all but the most radical of religions willingly wed them and accept them.
Pollution and environmentalism: We have heavy regulation on industry, reuse or recycle almost all of our waste, outlaw the use of harmful pesticides and other such products, and use only clean energy sources.
Religion: Full religious freedom. Like most faiths, when settling in new areas, religions had to adopt some of the local beliefs to convert others. Ancient tribal beliefs revolved around a universal spirit, pacifism, respect for nature, tolerance of others, animism, and the need to assist others. Therefore, religion has never really been intolerant of social change. Most citizens actually do still believe in the ancient tribal elements, though they are modernized. Being a home for refugees worldwide, you can find any faith here, though most native born citizens don't follow an organized religion.
Socialism: Almost everyone here is an anarcho-syndicalist communist.
Veganism: Just a little bit under half of the population are vegetarians. A fair amount are vegans too. Those that do eat meat, don't do it in excess though.

Government's policies regarding
None. No government exists anymore.
Communalist, Social Ecologist, Bioregionalist,
Sex-Positive Feminist, Queer, Trans-woman, Polyamorous

This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

Nation name: The Empire of Victorious Decepticons
Government type: Autocratic Military Dictatorship
Economic system: Wild-West Capitalism

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Meh - it's a biological thing. We're just glad WE can't have "surprise" or otherwise unwanted offspring so never have to worry about such things!
Animal rights: Rights?! Ha ha ha! But it's pretty pathetic to abuse something so puny and nonthreatening.
Atheism: Most think it seems more logical than Machinism.
Capitalism: Profit is good!
Capital punishment: Great. Traitors need to be deleted.
Drugs: Can't understand what humans think is so great about them.
Feminism: The social problems that arise from multiple genders makes us glad robots don't have ANY!
Greed: Greed is Good. It's a universal motivator and a common denominator everyone can understand.
Homosexuality: It's a biological thing. Meh.
Pollution and environmentalism: It's logical to keep one's environment within the parameters optimal for the functioning of one's own species.
Religion: Generally Decepticons are physically-centered and not religious. A Decepticon's Maker is another Decepticon, who built them from their base code to their body. Nothing mysterious or miraculous about it. Some, however, ARE religious and believe that there is a mystical reason that they are sapient and not just "regular" machines.
Socialism: Forget it. What I raid is mine, and what you raid is yours. Until someone else raids it away.
Veganism: Definitely a glitch. Humans are supposed to have a more varied fuel source.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: None; it doesn't apply to our citizens
Animal rights: None. Cybertron has no animals, so the entire concept is very new.
Atheism: None
Capitalism: All for it. We even direct raiding activity through capitalistic incentive!
Capital punishment: It's a great! Because of it, traitors have a ZERO recidivism rate!
Drugs: We're glad our people can't get addicted to them. They sometimes make useful trade goods for Foreign Intelligence to pay bribes with.
Feminism: Feminism, masculinism...bah. A biological is a biological.
Homosexuality: Who cares!
Pollution and environmentalism: Depends what you consider pollution. Some of it is a great way to keep biologicals from even trying to infest our planet. Of course, we don't consider THOSE substances to be pollution!
Religion: Anyone proclaiming any entity to be higher than Megatron had better be prepared to have said entity duel for the title in single combat, or STFU. And we won't accept proxy "champions," either - jihadis and crusaders alike will be summarily blasted!
Socialism: Hah! The only thing we give for free is a swim in the slag! Oh, and Debugging. Can't have a bunch of armed nutballs running around here.

Veganism Easier to feed them than the meat-eaters and the oil drinkers. Megatron Energon wishes it could charge more for biofuel-based Energon, and some vegan Decepticons would kick up the demand nicely.

Economic system: Corporatism

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Not as a contraceptive.
Animal rights: Animals, while inferior to humans, are not to be tortured. Besides, torture lowers the quality of meat anyways.
Atheism: Don't try to force it on anyone, and we're OK. However, we've found most atheists to be pseudo-intellectual pricks.
Capitalism: Preferable to CommuSocialism, but still inferior.
Capital punishment: Government sometimes goes overboard, but those illegal gladiator fights I saw last week were AWESOME!
Drugs: Only for failures.
Feminism: Make me a sandwich, bitch!
Greed: What? I'm not greedy! I swear, I didn't swindle that hobo out of any of his money!
Homosexuality: Rather nasty, but so long as it's away from us it's fine.

Religion: A source of morality, and what's going to happen after we die. It's how things are.
Socialism: Evil.
Veganism: Rather pansylike.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: Not as a contraceptive. We confiscate unwanted and illegal babies for use by the State.
Animal rights: The worst cases of animal cruelty will earn you 15 years of labor (actual labor, this isn't counting time spent sleeping, eating, etc) on a Heavy Industry Line.
Atheism: Too many of them are Commie pricks. However, the government does not officially know what a religion is, so we don't have an opinion.
Capitalism: Inferior to Corporatism, but an ally against Communism.
Capital punishment: Necessary.
Drugs: Illegal. Dealing, smuggling, furnishing, producing them, and taking advantage of addicts is a capital offense.
Feminism: If they go Leftist, we'll treat them just like any other Commie.

Nation name: Purpepelia
Government type: Arch Duchy, Absolute dictatorship with a huge underlaying meritocratic bureaucracy (think something like corporate management applied to ministries)
Economic system: Hard Core Communist, no private enterprise is legal, no private ownership of real estate, no private money grabbing

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: It is a procedure like any other. About the same as say removing a tooth. Just that instead of teeth you are removing a baby and the doctor is poking around something else and not your mouth. But really, nothing to be spared much thought even. It's a completely normal and valid alternative to bothering with all sorts of pills and stuff.

Animal rights: Animals are property. Property deserves no rights. End of story.
Atheism: Religion is a disease, Atheism it's cure.
Capitalism: The worst thing to happen to man kind since religion.
Capital punishment: A good parent must some times be willing to spank his child. And at other times spanking just is not enough.
Drugs: - undefined -
Feminism: All genders are equal so much that our law does make no distinction between them. And this is the way it should be. And besides, you would not believe the money we save by using shared bathrooms and dressing rooms.

Greed: Of all the sins of man kind, greed is perhaps the worst.
Homosexuality: They could be mating with a goat or a baby or a baby goat for all I care.
Pollution and environmentalism: The environment is important but it is wrong to preserve it for environments sake. Nature must serve man, newer rule over him. Although keeping it in a good enough state to serve productively is a must.

Religion: What is religion?

It is a state of mind where a person willingly rejects reality as proven by science and experience and substitutes instead conjectures based on fictional stories that have been nether proven nor substantiated in any way shape or form.

It would be a lie that we do not have religious people here. We have people that believe in Christ just as we have those that believe they are Napoleon and that the Matrix is real. After all, when faced with the real world people often seek to escape reality and inhabit a dream land where they feel well. These people suffer from a psychoses and one that can be cured with relatively little effort.

Hence it is the duty of the state of Purpelia and in fact any state that cares for it's people to establish institutions and devote funds into curing these people and helping them accept the reality of life and become productive and fulfilled members of society.

And that is exactly what we in Purpelia do.

Socialism: The only just way to run a state.
Veganism: What is that even?

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: Legal 100% and at any time from the moment of conception to the moment the baby starts leaving the girl.
Animal rights: None what or ever. Animals are property like chairs or cars.
Atheism: Government enforced.
Capitalism: Baned in any and all way shape or form.
Capital punishment: It happens some times, but only if it is the last option. This is because we believe that a dead prisoner can not pay his dept to society through the usual regiment of forced labor and blood and organ donations that we practice in our prisons.

Drugs: - undefined as of yet -
Feminism: All genders are equal so much that our law does make no distinction between them unless absolutely necessary. In fact we go so far as to enforce the opposite like having public bathrooms and school dressing rooms be shared.

So I guess we are a feminist paradise.
Homosexuality: Not illegal, but male homosexual couples are not allowed to marry. Female couples are.
Pollution and environmentalism: Keep it clean, keep it beautiful.
Religion: It is officially classified as a mental illness to be cured via psychiatric treatment.
Socialism: The backbone of the nation as a whole. You do the math.

Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

Abortion: Only in cases of medical need, or when the baby was conceived in a criminal manner.
Animal rights: Non-existent, but one should still treat nature well, as Landvættir are liable to get pissed otherwise.
Atheism: Some people are. Some people aren't. It doesn't really matter, so long as everyone keeps to themselves.
Capitalism: It's awesome. Who knew Irskrmenn could fetch so much silver per body?
Capital punishment: Not state enforced, but certain crimes will lead to your being deemed non-human, and therefore free game.
Drugs: Medicinal? Fine. Occupationally required? Fine. Casual? Not so fine.
Feminism: Unnecessary. Women aren't oppressed in the first place, apart from some cultural expectations.
Greed: It happens. It's nothing worse than lust, or wrath.
Homosexuality: Meh.
Pollution and environmentalism: The former is generally a bad thing, though if necessary it should be brought to as low a level as possible.
Religion: It's part of most peoples' lives. What about it?
Socialism: It has no part in our lives.
Veganism: Stupid, and judging by our climate and food sources, irresponsible, especially when forced on others.

Nation name: The Grand Theocratic Empire of the Holy Marsh
Government type: Theocracy
Economic system: Government-run industry, free enterprise allowed outside of all areas not deemed vital to state and church survival.

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Most heartily disagree with it, preferring almost any other option.
Animal rights: Most believe in a respect for other life forms, but also share a belief that mankind is superior- consumption is much the same as in your average industrialized nation, though there is far more effecient and less torturous means of production that are used as standard practice. For non-human creatures with the ability to communicate via language(such as the Nekos), they are extended full, human rights.
Atheism: Disliked greatly, though as long as one does not advocate the destruction of the Theocracy, he or she is free to believe in anything.
Capitalism: Marshites take pride in their ability to innovate and take their place on the free market, but it is not considered something to strive for from birth- the needs of the Church and Flock supercede any and all other concerns. While the private sector follows the laws of capitalism, it is not the driving force of the economy or nation.
Capital punishment: Favored heavily from all corners.
Drugs: Light or recreational drug use is tightly regulated but perfectly legal
Feminism: Not really well known as most others know it, as there has been gender equality in the Theocracy for more than four thousand years. Instead, the term has come to mean those who believe in female supremacy. There is a Shrine, or way of belief, that believes females are superior. It currently holds fifteen million members, but remains the only group that currently has any meaning of the word for feminism. Outside of this group, 'feminism' is disagreed with as Marshites know it, as they believe in gender equality.
Greed: Considered extremely immoral, it is considered theft from one's fellow man and woman.
Homosexuality: Perfectly accepted and has been for thousands of years.
Pollution and environmentalism: Pollution is not truly an issue, as Marshite energy production is almost entirely via nuclear energy. Transportation is usually mass and pollution, while nominally high, is very low for a nation of its size. Where the environment does not block the needs of the state, it is considered safe.
Religion: Marshites are overwhelmingly, devastatingly religious zealots of the Marshite Faith.
Socialism: The Church provides many basic social services to the point that socialism, in terms of social programs, is considered natural.
Veganism: If one chooses to do it, the options exist. Not only that, but the real staples of the Marshite diet are specialized nutritional bread meals, meaning many Marshites already consume meat on a lower scale and thus could be conditioned to live without meat somewhat easily.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: Legal in many cases.
Animal rights: In place to respect the animal and protect non-humans like Nekos.
Atheism: Allowed, but heavily discouraged.
Capitalism: In the private sector.
Capital punishment: Liberally used.
Drugs: Regulated recreation, outlawed heavy drugs.
Feminism: No policy; the Female Supremacy Shrine(closest we have to any form of Feminism) is one of dozens of shrines of the Faith and is sanctioned.
Homosexuality: Perfectly legal and has been for thousands of years.
Pollution and environmentalism: Needs of the Church supercede nature; where Church and State needs are not in jeopardy, respect.
Religion: Theocracy, though with freedom of religion for all 'accepted faiths', which include all religions that are considered reputable.
Socialism: Where the Greater Good of the Church and Flock are threatened, the state will be in total control.

Nation name: The Batory Empire
Government type: Take a wild guess. Absolute monarchy, meritocratic bureaucracy, semi-federalist with limited autonomy at the provincial level.
Economic system: Depends on your view. Practically, it's a mixed capitalist/socialist economy, though, since technically the Empire is the property of the Empress, you could just say she provides some services for her tenants.

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Varies wildly depending on the province. In more Christian and Muslim provinces, there are some restrictions, and it is looked down upon. However, in the core provinces, it is completely unregulated. An average citizen there would not really think it was any big deal, something that happens all the time. Fetuses aren't really considered 'people.' Even infants aren't, really. Generally one is considered a 'person' at about 6 months to 2 years of age.
Animal rights: The Empire isn't even big on recognizing that humans have rights. The average citizen is against unnecessary cruelty to animals, but has no problem eating them.
Atheism: The average citizen thinks it sounds a bit depressing.
Capitalism: Apathetic. Just how money works.
Capital punishment: A part of religion of many citizens in the core provinces.
Drugs: The average citizen probably uses a couple. Usually cannabis and alcohol.
Feminism: There's never been a need for feminism in the core provinces, as the culture is matriarchal. A typical subject would find it odd that in other countries, women needed to form political movements to be treated as well as men.
Greed: Generally regarded as somewhat immoral, especially in excess.
Homosexuality: No big deal.
Pollution and environmentalism: A very serious concern. Protection of the environment is quite important to most citizens in the core provinces.
Religion: Pick a citizen off the street and chances are, he/she's a pagan, at least in the core provinces. In the capital city, he/she's probably most devoted to the goddess Ithtyr (lust, earth/nature, moroii, vengeance, death).
Socialism: Nice for things like power, water, sanitation, gas, health care, schools, police, fire, the military, and public transportation.
Veganism: They probably wouldn't even know what this is.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: No laws about it in the Imperial Province or in other core provinces.
Animal rights: It is illegal to keep animals in unnecessarily cruel conditions or harm them in a way that is totally unnecessary for their use in making food and clothing.
Atheism: The government has no position on atheism. The Empress does not care if citizens choose not to pledge their souls to any gods.
Capitalism: Works well for consumer goods, with some regulation. Then again, you could argue that the Batory clan are the ultimate capitalists, with their matriarch owning an entire country as her property.
Capital punishment: The punishment for some crimes. Carried out by the clergy.
Drugs: Most are legal and regulated. Methamphetamine is illegal due to environmental damage. The Empress herself is an occasional opium user.
Feminism: Not really necessary in the Empire. Women enjoy equal rights, and in the Imperial province, superior rights, especially in marriage (polyandry is legal, but polygyny in most cases is not).
Homosexuality: The government has no position. The Empress really isn't concerned by who her citizens choose to have sex with and marry.
Pollution and environmentalism: Protection of the environment is a religious issue for the Empress, given her devotion to the goddess Ithtyr.
Religion: The Empress herself is a devout pagan worshiper of Ithtyr, a former priestess, in fact. However, she doesn't really care what gods her citizens worship, that's their own business.
Socialism: Batory tenants, also known as citizens and subjects, enjoy a few services in exchange for increased rent, also known as taxes, from their landlords the Batory clan. These are mentioned in the previous section.

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: It is okay as long as the child is not named.
Animal rights: animals are the reincarnation of souls with bad simu. Animal rights make no sense to most rejistanis given that the country does have a problem with human poverty.
Atheism: It is strange not to adhere to the traditions.
Capitalism: good idea
Capital punishment: it is cruel
Drugs: Pass the dutchie to the left-hand side! (in earnest, Rejistanis are not against drugs all that much. Some are seen as odious, but nothing is wrong with natural ones)
Feminism: it is accepted, but people violating the gender roles of society are still seen strangely.
Greed: Greed for yourself is not good, but if it is for the family, it is different
Homosexuality: Nothing is wrong with love between people of the same gender, but affection is not shown openly in rejistanian society even in heterosexual couples.
Pollution and environmentalism: A certain bit of sustainability is okay, but in general, the average rejistani will probably case very little for it apart from the projects of the temples.
Religion: Is very important for Rejistanis
Socialism: It was tried, it failed, if you want to try it again, go to Sumumusumu
Veganism: if wewere not supposed to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: legal until the foetus is named
Animal rights: Animal rights laws are largely nonexistant, except against the worst abuses.
Atheism: freedom of conscience.
Capitalism: Is encouraged
Capital punishment: outlawed
Drugs: maze of regional legislations, everything you create for your own consumptions is legal
Feminism: equality of genders
Homosexuality: nantical legislation is different depending on whether homosexuals can marry. But marriages in one nanti are accepted in all nantis
Pollution and environmentalism: there are laws against pollution, but the environment is not too highly regarded.

This site stresses me out, so I rarely come on here anymore. I'll try to be civil and respectful towards those I'm debating on here. If you don't extend the same courtesy then I'll probably just ignore you.

Nation name: Imperial State of Nashon
Government type: Merit-based autocracy
Economic system: State capitalism

Average citizen's opinion on

Abortion: Not all approve of it, but many see it as a necessary evil.
Animal rights: Pets should be protected, and livestock should have certain rights for the protection of human consumers.
Atheism: All Nashonjin are united under Kokutai. There are no deities.
Capitalism: An excellent system of economics that has made Nashon the strongest economy in the world.
Capital punishment: Regrettable, but somtimes necessary to the security of Nashon.
Drugs: Awful things designed to weaken the body and mind. Any Nashonjin that takes them is betraying their people and their state.
Feminism: Nashonjin make little distinction between the sexes.
Greed: Counterproductive to the interests of the Nashonjin. Wealth is not equated with greed, but the wealthy are expected to make a fair contribution to society in the form of taxation.
Homosexuality: Not against it, but the core of the family unit is always one male and one female, without question.
Pollution and environmentalism: Nashonjin keep their nation clean as a mark of their loyalty and devotion.
Religion: All Nashonjin are united under Kokutai. No other religious belief is practiced.
Socialism: An interesting theory, but incompatible with human needs and behavior.
Veganism: Most Nashonjin eat fish on a regular basis. Chicken, pork and beef are considered luxurious. Veganism is not condemned.

Government's policies regarding

Abortion: An effective method of population control when it is needed.
Animal rights: Registered pets have limited protections.
Atheism: Enforced.
Capitalism: Also enforced.
Capital punishment: Implemented in cases of murder, conspiracy against the state, and high treason.
Drugs: Forbidden in Nashon. Only caffeine that is naturally present in food and drink may be consumed.
Feminism: Ridiculous. A person's merit should be based on their ability and nothing more.
Homosexuality: Ignores it. The state has more important issues.
Pollution and environmentalism: The environment is protected, but not to the extent it runs contrary to the power of the empire.
Religion: Only foreigners living in Nashon are outside the jurisdiction of the state religion, and they must practice it entirely in private. Any hint of public display of faith or attempt to gain converts is dealt with severely.
Socialism: Illegal, and any nation using it is considered suspicious.
