Federal subjects abroad

[Tappahannock]

No on the other hand refusing your people to own property is not only limiting their given rights but it is also as stated socialism. On the other hand only because you own someone does that not mean you have to treat them bad, on the other hand so is treating your slaves actually encouraged as a happy slave is a hard working and loyal slave.

A free man works even harder, because his earnings are not given to somebody else before he can even see them.

Tappans own property. We just don't own people. People are not legally recognized as property here, and thus, can not be owned. As we have said, if you want them back, come here and take them back.

I do indeed hope our siblings stand up for the inferior creatures in your nation despite the danger that poses to them and that they might get your people to see things a bit more correctly.

Yeah, they are so awesome, we especially liked it when one of them told a successful non-human businessman that he was inferior to the bum who lives in the cardboard box in front of his home. Perhaps someday our citizens will become more enlightened, Imerians tend to be very...vocal about their political beliefs so who knows.

And if a slave does not work so will he not get food all in all it works on the same principles really!

but for taking them back; why not, sound like fun actually!

Not all men can be successful and that non-human where surely getting help otherwise so would it surely be on the street, but I do also hope that you can see the error of your ways!

They're so amusing too, aren't they?

Indeed we are, after all what people do not enjoy a jolly good fun?

Well it is good to hear that they do still act properly and making them swear allegiance to their new queen would of course be expected as they are her royal highness subjects after all, what I on the other hand cannot figure out is why they would want t veto their queen as her royal highness is after all their queen!

snip

And I take it they walk around naked and are too busy dancing and what not to focus on important things? that is after all common for your kind is it not?

snip

I am most happy to hear that they still is loyal to their old king as well as their new empress, after all that would be the proper thing to do!

snip

Not treating halfbreads proper are you now? Well I do hope that your Imerians show them more proper behaviour and enlighten them about their civilized sides ways.

Hardly surprising, after all if you yanks would have a chance in war so would you have to at least prepare eons before to be successful!

Glad to know you have a good sense of humor, friends.

What people do not?

[Greater Rhodes]

1. How many Imerians live in your nation?
5 750 Rhodians either claim partial Imerian heritage or are immigrant Imerians

2. How many of them can say that they do have a noble linage?
65, however whether these claims are true or not is debatable

3. How much contact do the Imerians in your nation have with their brothers and sisters back home
As much as they want, we have no restrictions on citizens wanting to visit Imeriata or stay in touch with the Imerians

4.Do those people still speak proper Imerian?
Some do, although we have found most Imerian citizens prefer to adopt Italian, and English if they have not already done so.

5. Do the Imerians inhabit enclaves where the greater Imerian high culture can shine above your own?
We have no enclaves in our nation, most cultures mix with each other and the Imerians who choose to live in Greater Rhodes do the same.

6. How many of them are still followers of the holy chronicles?
Less than 5%

7.Is there active discriminations against the Imerian population for whatever reasons?
None whatsoever, although people of course may have problems with specific Imerians, but that is their business.

8. How is the Imerian population in your nation looked at by the general population and what kind of trades do the federal subjects often work in?
We look upon Imerians neutrally, although many Rhodians are put off by their cultural rejection of the belief that LGBT Rhodians have the same rights to marry as straight Rhodians. Imerians can often be found working in middle and lower-middle class jobs, mostly in service industries.

9. How long have there been an active Imerian population living in your nation?
Imerian peoples have been present in Greater Rhodes since the mid-20th century.

10. Do they still maintain the proper and gentlemanly behaviour that can be expected from proper federal subjects?
Yes, honour is an ideal shared by both Imerian and Rhodian cultures, and they have for the most part been quick to accept our nation's perspective on the subject

11. Are the Imerians living in your lands still concerned about such important things as titles, social class and linage?
This varies from person to person, although generally not as much.

12. Are they still loyal and respectful against their true king despite the distance and separation by national borders?
This also varies from person to person, but Rhodians of Imerian heritage and Imerian immigrants find a connection more to our own King Johannes than to the Imerian monarch

14. Does your government take active oppressive actions that targets specifically the Imerian population living in your nation? and if so for what reasons?
No.

15. Do anyone of Imerian heritage currently serve as part of your government or have there at any time been someone from the federation in your government?

What's lineage and what's its significance? scratches head in confusion*

[Wallenbergia]

1. How many Imerians live in your nation?
Approximately 34,380 individuals in the Kingdom of Wallenbergia are of fully Imerian ethnicity.
2. How many of them can say that they do have a noble lineage?
Nearly 1/20 of the Imerians in our nation are of noble lineage.
3. How much contact do the Imerians in your nation have with their brothers, and sisters back home?
Some of our Imerians do make regular journey to the lands controlled by Imeriata, though most have only visited a few times, if they have actually went there. Besides that, the only other contact method really utilized by our Imerians is the mail system.
4. Do those people still speak proper Imerian?
A number of them do have some knowledge of their ancestor's language, though only a small group still speak fluently the Imerian language.
5. Do the Imerians inhabit enclaves where the greater Imerian high culture can shine above your own?
Most of the Imerians in our nation do live in the South-Western parts of Wallenbergia, in what could be considered to be enclaves, though it is actually just because those areas are where the jobs that they tend to work in are located.
6. How many of them are still followers of the Holy Chronicles?
Many of our Imerians have converted to the native religion since living here, though a good number do still follow the Holy Chronicles.
7. Is there active discrimination against the Imerian population for whatever reasons?
There is not now, nor has there ever been, any sort of discrimination against our Imerians. Even during the time of Konung Olaaf de Faasansfuol (King Olaaf the Terrible), the Imerians in our nation managed not only to avoid persecution, but to make gains, by taking over where the now persecuted could not keep up.
8. How is the Imerian population in your nation looked at by the general population, and what kind of trades do the federal subjects often work in?
The Imerian people of our nation at least, are looked upon mostly the same as any other citizen, though the more recent immigrants are often considered to be a little bit rude, due to the many differences in the mannerisms, and customs of our 2 peoples. A very large portion of the Imerians in our nation are farmers, or work in a factory somewhere in Wallenbergia. A notable portion of our business-owning Imerians own hat, or shoe shops.
9. How long has there been an active Imerian population living in your nation?
An active Imerian population was only established 467 years ago, and a rather large portion of our Imerians today do descend from those who first came to our nation long ago. This was not the first time Imerians have settled in our nation however, as a steady flow of very small groups of Imerians had been coming periodically since the year 1362, and a less steady one for hundreds of years before that.
10. Do they still maintain the proper, and gentlemanly behaviour that can be expected from proper federal subjects?
Mostly so, though our Imerians do vary somewhat in their behavior from those in the lands of Imeriata.
11. Are the Imerians living in your lands still concerned about such important things as titles, social class, and lineage?
They're not any more concerned about these things than the other citizens of Wallenbergia. That meaning, those things are of particularly high concern.
12. Are they still loyal, and respectful against their true king despite the distance, and separation by national borders?
Though the more recent Imerian immigrants do still respect their old king, and revere their former lands, all of the Imerians in our nation have pledged their loyalty to our King.
14. Does your government take active oppressive actions that targets specifically the Imerian population living in your nation? And if so, for what reasons?
No, nor has this ever occurred.
15. Does anyone of Imerian heritage currently serve as part of your government, or have there at any time been someone from the federation in your government?
Vice Chancellor, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ulvrik Nebel is of partial Imerian descent through his great-great-grandmother.

While their lack of allegiance to the king of their blood is a bit disturbing so am I happy to hear that they at least follow their new king as they should be. I would also point out that if their behaviour vary from that back home so would that hardly be proper and gentlemanly behaviour now would it?

[The Batorys]

OOC: Thanks for bolding each question.

1. How many Imerians live in your nation?
Uncertain. Perhaps several thousand. Ethnic statistics in the Empire are always a bit hazy.

2. How many of them can say that they do have a noble linage?
A few have claimed such. Most don't after they hear what happens to nobles when the Batorys conquer new land. The few that did, after learning this piece of information, were horrified and frightened. They seem surprised that the same was not done to them. It was then explained that they were safe, as they made no claim upon the lands the Empress feels is hers.

3. How much contact do the Imerians in your nation have with their brothers and sisters back home
Uncertain, there are some letters sent back and forth, however. What percentage of the Imerians are sending these letters is not known.

4.Do those people still speak proper Imerian?
The ones sending the letters do, at least. At least, it seems so from the routine screening of post that the mail service does.

5. Do the Imerians inhabit enclaves where the greater Imerian high culture can shine above your own?
Some. Others have intermingled with enthusiasm. We suspect that getting away from the supposedly greater Imerian culture was the latter's reason for immigrating in the first place.

6. How many of them are still followers of the holy chronicles?
A few, mostly the ones who claim to be nobles. Others have abandoned such, it appears. Part of getting away, it would seem. Statistics on religion are ever difficult in the Empire.

7.Is there active discriminations against the Imerian population for whatever reasons?
Most people think the ones who prance around saying that they're nobles are incredibly silly and an object of amusement. Otherwise there might be a little discrimination, but no more than with any other uncivilized foreigners.

8. How is the Imerian population in your nation looked at by the general population and what kind of trades do the federal subjects often work in?
Mostly regular jobs. The nobles mostly seem to borrow money, and are surprised that the entire financial system doesn't exist to serve them and that no one cares about them when they squander their wealth. The rest work in all sorts of jobs, anything from factory work to restaurant ownership, etc.

9. How long have there been an active Imerian population living in your nation?
Several years. Long enough that at least one generation has been raised here, at least in most cases. There are a few older groups, but they have mostly blended in.

10. Do they still maintain the proper and gentlemanly behaviour that can be expected from proper federal subjects?
The nobles try, but are continually confused that their behavior is often considered quite rude in the Empire, and they cause fights sometimes by getting angry over perfectly normal behavior in the Empire. The others have adapted much better to local customs and civilized manners.

11. Are the Imerians living in your lands still concerned about such important things as titles, social class and linage?
Only the nobles. The rest seem to have embraced the Empire's relative lack of class distinction beyond the Imperial family, and many have taken especially enthusiastically to the meritocratic government administration. They seem gleeful at the prospect of being considered for positions more on the basis of their talent than on the basis of who their parents were and how much land they own. Many have also married into the local population and had children, so they don't seem all that concerned about lineage.

12. Are they still loyal and respectful against their true king despite the distance and separation by national borders?
Some of the nobles are. These ones have to watch their step, as the Empire doesn't take kindly to foreign agents. Most of the others are more loyal to the Empress these days, even though many admit that the Batory clan strikes them as very strange and alien.

14. Do your government take active oppressive actions that targets specifically the Imerian population living in your nation? and if so for what reasons?
No, the Empire does not care where its residents are from as long as they follow the laws and pay their taxes.

15. Do anyone of Imerian heritage currently serve as part of your government or have there at any time been someone from the federation in your government?
A few non-nobles have gotten into some of the middle levels of civil service, yes. Their morale is generally exemplary. Probably due to the Empire caring more about how good a job they do than their parents' lack of titles.
