Q2- What is your opinion on Socialism?
Q3- What is the meaning behind your flag?
1. My opinion regarding capitalism is...conflicted. I am of the opinion that completely unchecked and unregulated capitalism is responsible for the inequality we see in other countries. However, when it is properly regulated and checked, it can help create innovate and prosperous nations and people while simultaneously making sure no one is left in the dust.
2. Socialism is an ideology I can neither say I am for or against. I feel very conflicted when it comes to it. Gandoor is, after all, officially a socialist nation although we have practiced European-style social market capitalism since the mid-80's. (Just to prevent any misunderstandings, Gandoor has existed as a socialist nation long before nations like the USSR came around with their centrally planned economies, socialism in our nation was always market socialism and capitalism was never officially outlawed, we just began to loosen economic restrictions in the late 70's and early '80s) And our economic policies, most of which are in the goal of transitioning to socialism in the future, are responsible for our strong stances towards income equality, welfare, among others. Conversely however, I will admit that many nations implementation of socialism was responsible for much suffering in this world. In that sense, that is why I feel conflicted regarding socialism, it can do good (as our nation shows) but other nations, such as the USSR, show that unforgivable things can be done in the name of socialism.
3. The red represents our official ideology of democratic socialism, the eight stars arranged in a circle represent our eight yons, and the central eight pointed star represents the central government. Despite the fact that our flag has stars representing our administrative divisions, do keep in mind that we are a unitary state, not a federation.

If the cult is harmless, I see no issue with it. If it is a dangerous cult, both to their members and nonmembers, then they should be dealt with but not in a way that can affect the freedom of others.

That is an interesting question, as almost all other nations with parliamentary systems of government have separate heads of state and heads of government. The simple answer as to why we don't is because the founders of the Democratic Republic did not want it. The writers of our modern constitution during the start of the 20th century wanted it to be that the Prime Minister would be viewed as the representative for the new Gandoor and its people, they had no desire to create a separate head of state, something that most of them felt would become outdated as the century went on.
