Tanaara wrote:National Standards - a list of questions about certain Standards & Legalities for your nation- far more defining than the three NS standards:
The Domination of Tanaara.
1 - What is the legal drinking age? Classifications as an Adult, can lose the privilege relatively easily.
2 - Driving age? Depends on mental age - One can test for a license at age 16 (human/ species equivalent) but the younger one is the harder the test is, and the more sternly one is graded and the easier it is to lose the privilege. Most cities have AI assisted auto drive systems, that take in vehicle driving out of 'in vehicle' - and while ‘linking in’ to such a system is not mandatory, vehicular interaction (read wrecks) when the vehicle is under the control of a in- vehicle driver are treated very seriously. Also given that in all cities, Transportal stations are found every couple of blocks, most people prefer to ’Port and walk / ’Port and take the also ubiquitous slide walks. Also walking five to ten miles a day is habitual to most and not even commented upon.
3 - Age of sexual consent? Classification as an Adult - except in those cases when the mentality is not present to give informed, knowing consent. That is then considered the equivalent of rape and is prosecuted accordingly. STD's -, transmission there of- is a whole nother matter.. Lack of Mentality also comprises being under the influence of drugs and or alcohol.
4 - Voting age? Classification as an an adult ,but can lose the privilege. There are certain elections & public polls where it is mandatory to vote and not voting (except under certain exemptions) will garner criminal charges, that could cost one one's citizenship..
5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? - Depends on species, humans -generally 17-19 but can go earlier or later, and is possible at any age to end up as a Ward of the Crown.
6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? - Any - However any and all drug use is predecated on the user being Clssified as an Adult, and using the drugs responsibility. Any crime commited under the influence of drugs will be punished with the utmost harshness.
-Pot - legal and popular, but not in public, and operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
- Tobacco - genetically modified, true low tar and nicotine - legal, moderately popular / ungenetically modified, 'wild' legal, relatively unpopular and heavily taxed.
- Cocaine - legal and virtually unknown, there are other drugs in the Domination that produce better highs without the side effects- Heavily taxed - but not in public, and operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
-Alcohol - legal, moderately popular- but operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
- LSD - legal, but like cocaine, virtually unknown for the same reasons - heavily taxed -but not in public, and operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
- Caffeine - legal, popular - except for within the Elvin/ Sidhe population where it is a mostly fatal toxin and is illegal to sell to them
- Heroin - legal and virtually unknown, there are other drugs in the Domination that produce better highs without the side effects - heavily taxed - but not in public, and operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
- Other? Many - legal, how popular varies and some are illegal - mostly heavily taxed and but generaly not done in public, and operating under the influence is a heavily punished crime. Hard time
7 - Can people have guns? Ownership is a Legal Requirement for Citizens -An armed society is a polite society, and thusly “YES!”, save for those whom have lost the privilege, or those who are not mentally competent. Non Citizen Residents may apply for license. Temporary visa holders and visitors must apply before entering the country, may not buy while in country unless License aplication has been approved and License recieved.
8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called Formal: The Interstellar Domination of Tanaara// Informal: Tanaara or The Domination / Citizens: Tanaarans
9 - Do you have the death penalty? Yes
10 - What is the speed limit? on the Throughways there are minimums, on surface streets tend not to have limits save in certain areas - the whole of the nation operates under the concept of driving in an non hazzardous manner.
11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? All are permitted, all are restricted -All are taxed unless 75% of all donations recieved are used directly by formal registered charities.
Which of the following are be legal: ALL Are Legal
12- Porn - images of pediphillia & rape are illegal
13-Prostitution - Heavily regulated and taxed, popular in some areas of the nation unpopular in others.
14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - Far more common than monogamy- Polyamory makes up some 75% of all Unions in the Domination
15-Homosexuality - legislate ones sexual identity? Say what?
16-Stem cell research -The Domination is far past this old, proven technology, not used any longer, save for teaching purposes.
17-Human Cloning - Regulated, oversighted and clones have full legal rights, not often done.
18-Cock Fighting? There are no laws against it specifically, but Animal Mistreatment laws are Very harsh.
19-Slavery? -Penal Slavery is legal, debit slavery is legal, but they are closely regulated and over watched by the judiciary.
20-Hunting? Very popular -Eat & use as completely as possible what one hunts, no waste! Non kill 'slap hunting' is very popular and is considered a rite of passage into adulthood in some portions of the Domination
21-Fishing - see above
22-Eating meat? Carnivores R Us, save for those who are Vegan to one degree or another. Veganism is highly unpopular, less than 1% of the Citzens, and less than 5 % of Residents are Vegan.
23-Littering? No laws against but is so unnatural and uncommon
24-Unisex bathrooms ? Say what?
25-Suicide? - Very Rare - Euthanasia / Right to Death with Diginity - legal
26 - Gay marriage? - Any one can join into a Union Contract as long as they are mentally competent. And there are as many different forms of Marriage as there are people. Marriage is the private affair of those getting married.
27-Abortion - Happens Very, Very Rarely, mostly for medical/ therapeutic reasons. But most medical problems can be dealt with by the Dominations highly advanced medical technology.
28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ? Again “?blink?” except for Rape and pediophilia which can carry the Death Penalty. What consenting adults do is their own business.
29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? Very much Optional, it is worn for practical purposes and for ornamentation but varies by culture. And also by climated and the presence of large numbers of tourists - Tanaarans are raised to be considerate of others sensibilities.
30-Do you have obscenity laws? If so - how would you define "obscene". - Again “?Blink?”
31-What system do you have for taxes?
- Income tax? Citizens pay no income tax, residents pay a flat 15%; resident citizens of another nationality pay 20%
31aSales tax? Thank you C’Tan for putting this so well…An esoteric business tax system graded towards non-essential products. Similar to VAT, but considerably more sophisticated in its deployment.
31bImport/Export tax? Varies on the product and where it is going to or coming from.
32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? You must perform Federal Service and, if not native born, pass the Citizenship Exam.
33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? Any but we reserve the tight to either deport with prejudice or execute any visitors found violating the few laws that have a death penalty. The Dominationre does not extradite those who violate death penalty laws back to their nation of residence/ legal citizenship
34-What type of government are you? Modified Elected Autocracy /Dictatorship**
35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? When it comes to ‘of interest to the Domination’ the Crown retains the right of absolute censorship.
36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? For example – Considering that the Domination has counted in it’s census such species ( & an even wider parade of cultures within species ) as :Humans, Therianthopes, Elves, Dragons, Xa’ Cz’inni, and other races, the cultural rules are as varied as the Stars and as hard to get a grip on. However there are some generally agreed on customs/ traditions –
Don’t eat other sentient beings without prior permission.
Sex in public is generally over the top, but if it does happen, just ignore it and go about your day.
Be responsible; take ownership of your words, deeds, and actions.
Don’t go waving your weapons around in public. If some one is waving a weapon around in public, take a moment to ascertain why they are doing so and then act responsibly.
