Is the following thing canon in BN? [II]

[Sybira]

The neutral movement was slightly stronger than in OTL, but other than that, no.

---

BN's political parties are unable to compromise with each other.

[Great Vonteris]

Non-canon, but because we are basically a one-party state.

---

BN's parliamentary opposition sits on the opposite side of the coalition government.

[Redeemed Britannia]

Yes. The ruling coalition and the loyal opposition sit in front of each other a la Westminster system

The BN's naval infantry units are in a separate branch from its general naval or ground forces (i.e. US Marines)

[Celestial American Republic]

Yes. The ruling coalition and the loyal opposition sit in front of each other a la Westminster system

The BN's naval infantry units are in a separate branch from its general naval or ground forces (i.e. US Marines)

Canon, the US Marines still exist albeit somewhat different.

BN is a global leader in civil rights

[Zohiania]

Canon.

BN has rewritten or changed their entire Constitution multiple times

[Continental Free States]

We've amended it 22 times, but never rewritten it from the ground up.

The BN does not have a codified constitution

[Kors]

Uncanon

The BN has Antitrust laws

[Free Ravensburg]

Yeah. Canadian and American law injections can do that to ya.

BL “adopts” kids from parents.

[Wiolgopomorska]

No, of course not. The only thing that could come close is the case of the loss of custody by the parents without any other relatives.

BN has more than 10 parties with seats in its parliament

[Airden Cartel]

No, of course not. The only thing that could come close is the case of the loss of custody by the parents without any other relatives.

BN has more than 10 parties with seats in its parliament

Not canon. We neither have political parties nor a parliament. There are two reasons for this. The first of which is that we are not a state, we are a VNSA. The second is that the concept of democracy and voting does not exist in our 'verse; even if we were a state, we still would not have parties or parliament.

Gambling (legal or otherwise) is commonplace in BN.

[The African Emirates]

No. It exists, but very little of it occurs. Mostly only among newly Uploaded citizens, as logic is an important value here, and gambling is anything but logical.

---

Facebook or a Facebook equivalent exists in BN.

[Airden Cartel]

Yes, but very little of it occurs. Mostly only among newly Uploaded citizens, as logic is an important value here, and gambling is anything but logical.

My bad, I forgot that I was illiterate.

/stillme

[Sybira]

Yes, but very little of it occurs. Mostly only among newly Uploaded citizens, as logic is an important value here, and gambling is anything but logical.

Facebook - not Meta - does.

---

Anime is one of the mainstream forms of media in BN

[Pulsroth]

Not canon. It's a fairly niche interest here considering we're in Asia.

BN is currently undergoing an economic boom.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Lakan economy is essentially always in a near-stagnant state with state policies being aimed at maintaining this status because it allows for near-endless military buildup. Also this happens because there is pretty much no limits to executive power and foreign investors are not really keen on investing into this place due to which Laka relies on exploiting their colonies (and Rhodesia which basically had to ally with Laka because everyone else hated them) to maintain the economy. So anything but a boom

No it’s bicameral.

[Sybira]

Yes, we have a fully nationalised healthcare system.

BN's Government is widely seen as corrupt by the electorate.

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Nah- if it would’ve been that the government would be busy eviscerating themselves

Military suicides are not a problem in BN’ military

[Shantung Clique]

The term "military suicide" can be interpreted in a number of ways. If it refers to the common soldiery committing suicide—out of free will—for whatever reason, then canon, it is indeed not a problem. If it refers to aforesaid soldiery often being forced to partake in operations considered extremely risky that these may be described as "suicidal", then the opposite is true.

---

BN has suffered a significant military defeat in the last 10 years.

[Cominsol]

No, but the Cominsol hasn't actually fought a war since it was established, so it hasn't had any victories either.

---

BN has a negative income tax.

[Continental Free States]

America doesn't have an income tax in general for it to be negative or positive.

The main source of the BN's income is not through taxation

[Great Brytain and Ireland]

Nay.

---

The BN, despite no longer being a colonial power, is nonetheless proud of its history and colonial achievements.
