[The Land of the Ephyral]

❖ The Eternal Empire Of The Ephyral Race ❖

❖ Ael Khālanī - Ael Rēlāmaerkys - Ael Ascanda ❖

---

❖ Issue of Dispute: Global Safety Rating Survey ❖

---

This survey has been adapted into the official Ephyral documentation containing non-biased and exact answers by the Pyramid of External Affairs via the Ministry of National Information under Her Excelleny, Aeskyā Haelicya sie Nohaleos.

• Full Nation Name: ❖ The Eternal Empire of the Ephyral Race.

• Government Type: ❖ Absolute Monarchy / Slavocratic Aristocracy / Senatorial Council.

• Head of State: ❖ Her Seraphic Illustriousness, the Khālanī Alyrya I vie Sāhvīīshār.

• Head of Government: ❖ His High Excellency, Lord-Chancellor Viselarys say Aglaeron.

• Economic System: ❖ Capitalist free-market.

• Are elections held? ❖ Elections are held for regions of the Empire to nominate a member of their community to the Senate of the Freeholders every five years.

• Are elections run by independent candidates, or by party candidates? ❖ Independent candidates. The Eternal Empire outlaws political parties as a vessel of corruption.

• Can individuals or organizations pledge financial support to a politician's campaign? ❖ No.

• Is the military a part of the government? ❖ Yes. The military is co-orchestrated by the Pyramid of Military Offence, the Pyramid of Military Defence and the Pyramid of Military Strategy.

• Is the government secular or theocratic? ❖ De jure secular. As with most nobility, Her Seraphic Illustriousness does not hold the national religion to heart, seeing their God as more of a cultural metaphor than an actual deity. However, since the national religion declares that all monarchs are chosen by their God, Alyrya becomes the de facto theocratic will of their God.

• Is the legislative body a separate part of the government? ❖ The legislative body is represented by the Senate of the Freeholders.

• Is the Supreme Court a separate part of the government? ❖ The judiciary body is represented by the Tribunal, the term of all courts. There is no such thing as a Supreme Court in Ephyra.

• Do you have government agencies? ❖ A substantial amount, yes.

• Are politicians subject to the law? ❖ Naturally. Any Senator who is deemed to be purposely hindering the progress of the Empire, in an attempt to smear or slander a personal rival may find themselves arrested by the Inquisition of the Red Conviction, for causing an internal disturbance and threat to the Imperial people. Depending on the severity of their infraction, they may be dismissed, imprisoned or executed as a traitor to the Empire.

• Is the media state-run? ❖ Yes.

• Do you have an official police force? ❖ Yes. The official police force handles low-level, region-to-region crime, whilst larger scale crime and religious heresy is handled by the Inquisition of the Red Conviction.

• Is your police force militarised? ❖ Yes.

• Do you have a secret police? ❖ The Inquisition acts as an equivalent of a 'secret police'. Internal intelligence agencies would sum up the rest of this.

• Does your police force undergo sensitivity training? ❖ No.

• Do you have the death penalty? ❖ Yes. The death penalty is the punishment for crimes such as; high-degree rape (either raping a noblewo/man, a slave raping a mistress, or committing serial rape), third or fourth degree adultery, murder (from killing a Freeholder to regicide), treason, most infractions caused by slaves and more.

• Do you have prisons? ❖ Yes.

• Do you have maximum security prisons? ❖ These are the majority of prisons. Since most crimes in Ephyra are met with swift, physical justice such as mutilation, maiming or death, few crimes result in imprisonment, which is alternatively a worse option. Prisoners are not protected by the law, thus prisoners sentenced to life may be experimented on for medical science, killed or raped by fellow inmates or guards and otherwise likely never see outside again.

• Are you a police state? ❖ Effectively no. The populace is loyal enough to the monarchy and the government that such a label does not define how Ephyra acts regarding monitoring.

• Do you monitor web searches? ❖ Only in times of perceived threat.

• Do you tap phone calls? ❖ Only with probable cause.

• Is top-notch security available for purchase by the populace? ❖ No.

• Can civilians arrest criminals? ❖ Yes, as long as the criminal is taken either immediately to the Inquisition or the police.

• Is vigilantism legal? ❖ No.

• Can criminals be detained indefinitely? ❖ Yes.

• Can criminals be denied legal counsel? ❖ Yes, but this rarely happens.

• Is the nation militarised? ❖ Yes.

• Do you have an official armed forces? ❖ Yes, the EKO (Ephyral Kormēyrīovekītīs).

• Is your military up-to-date? ❖ Yes.

• Can military servicemen arrest criminals? ❖ Yes.

• Is the military subject to the law? ❖ Usually yes, exceptions can be made however.

• Does the military have it's own courts? ❖ The Military Tribunal, yes.

• Are military courts independent of civilian law? ❖ Partially.

• Are civilian laws active on military installations? ❖ With modifications, yes.

• Can military equipment and weapons be purchased by civilians? ❖ No.

• Can civilians own firearms? ❖ No.

• Are pharmaceutical drugs legal? ❖ Yes.

• Are non-pharmaceutical drugs legal? ❖ No.

• Can pharmaceutical drugs be used for non-pharmaceutical reasons? ❖ No.

• Do you have freedom of speech? ❖ To an extent (you can disagree with government decisions, but you cannot slander the reigning monarch).

• Do you have freedom of press? ❖ No.

• Do you have freedom of thought? ❖ Yes (thought cannot be measured).

• Do you have freedom of assembly? ❖ To an extent.

• Are protests legal? ❖ As long as they are not violent, yes.

• Are sit-ins legal? ❖ No.

• Are strikes legal? ❖ No.

• Are corporations above the law? ❖ No.
