Liberty House has reviewed the status of internet freedom in Artheria, and has assessed an Internet Freedom Score of 93. The primary issue found was the ease in which the government can surveil their citizens, requiring only a simple request. A lower importance concern is the complete ban of pornagraphy, beyond just that which exploits minors.

[Toin]

Freedom in the Multiverse
Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: Democratic States of Toin
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? Yes.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Yes.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? Yes.
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? Yes.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? Yes.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? Yes.
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? No. Only registered voters may vote. Registered voters have to be citizens and cannot be incarcerated or convicted of a felony at the time of election. To get registered, there usually is no prejudice by voting staff or volunteers, but generally more rural or older staffers or volunteers may hold a prejudice in places of Toin - the rule generally is the more rural the more frequent. To the average citizen, though, prejudice is not often encountered in the voting sphere. Once registered, the "no" becomes a "yes"
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? Yes, but don't necessarily carry it out. The Cabinet carries the policy and legislation out.
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? Yes, but it's not perfect. Cases slip through occasionally.
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? Yes, with certain exceptions. Documents that have the potential of being a threat to national security are not freely available, regardless of where they came from, but if someone makes a Freedom of Information Act request, chances are they will receive the document.
D1. Are there free and independent media? Yes. There is also public media that is owned by the state, but it is no different than private media.
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? Yes. Historically, the clerk of Parliament invited members to join in a moment of silent prayer before the session started. Since 2012, the clerk invites members to join in a moment of silent meditation instead.
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? Yes.
D4. Are individuals free to express their personal views on political or other sensitive topics without fear of surveillance or retribution? Usually. Extremist views, such as calling for a Nazi-esque regime or an Islamic government that organizations such as ISIS are actively trying to implement will most likely call for you being placed on a surveillance list, but most anything else flies.
E1. Is there freedom of assembly? No.
E2. Is there freedom for non governmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work? Yes.
E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? Yes.
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? Yes.
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? Yes.
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? The former: yes. The latter: all male residents over the age of 20 must register for the draft to enable them to be called up for service should it be absolutely necessary. Thus, there is no "freedom from war." However, Toin has not used the draft since World War II and follows a pacifist military policy when it comes to foreign engagements, so effectively this is an archane law.
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population? Yes. There is always prejudice, but it is not frequently encountered, especially in denser areas.
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? No.
G2. Are individuals able to exercise the right to own property and establish private businesses without undue interference from state or nonstate actors? Yes.
G3. Do individuals enjoy personal social freedoms, including choice of marriage partner and size of family, protection from domestic violence, and control over appearance? Yes.
G4. Do individuals enjoy equality of opportunity and freedom from economic exploitation? Yes.

A3. Does the government exercise technical or legal control over internet infrastructure for the purposes of restricting connectivity?
Given the development of the internet in my country, called the 'combinet' and based more on Project Xanadu's ideas for the world wide web, there is some centralized control but not enough to deter people from getting on the web.

No, aside from the growing oligopoly of service providers in the NAU.

My nation's version of the internet has built-in micropayment systems for content, so content creators are far less dependent on advertisers. And prices are not prohibitively expensive.
B7. Does the online information landscape lack diversity?
No, there is wide diversity thanks to the interconnected backwards attribution to all created documents, leading people to past documents and ongoing discussions. Copyright is somewhat strong but still reasonable.

Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings?- Yes.

A4. Are there legal, regulatory, or economic obstacles that restrict the diversity of service providers?- No, the Empirian Government is quick to break up companies that take up a high percentage of the market share and ensure competition in this regard. The Government does offer internet connectivity to residences that cannot afford the subsidized internet prices offered by providers.
A5. Do national regulatory bodies that oversee service providers and digital technology fail to operate in a free, fair, and independent manner?- No, the government only very rarely acts on things placed on the internet unless it breaks a law and the person is currently within Indian Empire's borders.
B1. Does the state block or filter, or compel service providers to block or filter, internet content?- Very rarely, and it most often occurs in regards to high level officials who call for violence against groups of people, which is prohibited in Empirian Law. However, this is very rare, and the Government has filed less than five of these requests over the past 20 years.
B2. Do state or nonstate actors employ legal, administrative, or other means to force publishers, content hosts, or digital platforms to delete content?- No, though similar to above, occassionally requests may be made- but are never followed up with such action by ISP's.
B3. Do restrictions on the internet and digital content lack transparency, proportionality to the stated aims, or an independent appeals process?- No. In the very rare occassion that content has been filtered, a notice is attached explaining what provisions of Empirian law the post violates and a link is provided to the related law.
B4. Do online journalists, commentators, and ordinary users practice self-censorship?- Empirian users on the internet do not self-censor.
B5. Are online sources of information controlled or manipulated by the government or other powerful actors to advance a particular political interest?- No.
B6. Are there economic or regulatory constraints that negatively affect users’ ability to publish content online?- No.
B7. Does the online information landscape lack diversity?- No, you can often find a wide variety of opinions.
B8. Do conditions impede users’ ability to mobilize, form communities, and campaign, particularly on political and social issues?- No, and plenty of organizations that mobilize within Indian Empire on certain issues or topics exist online.
C1. Do the constitution or other laws fail to protect rights such as freedom of expression, access to information, and press freedom, including on the internet, and are they enforced by a judiciary that lacks independence?- The Empirian Constitiution protects freedom of the press, access to the information, and freedom of expression (outside of calls for violence as stated earlier). They are upheld by a judiciary that is non-partisan and requires the approval of all party leaders in parliament in order to get confirmed.
C2. Are there laws that assign criminal penalties or civil liability for online activities?- Not as a set in stone law, but it has largely been decided that laws in Indian Empire do also apply to conduct on the internet within Indian Empire's borders, with any set penalties the same as established in the law broken.
C3. Are individuals penalized for online activities?- As mentioned above, they can be if they are within Indian Empire's jurisdiction and break a law within said jurisdiction.
C4. Does the government place restrictions on anonymous communication or encryption?- No.
C5. Does state surveillance of internet activities infringe on users’ right to privacy?- No, the government does not engage in surveillance of Empirians.
C6. Are service providers and other technology companies required to aid the government in monitoring the communications of their users?- Only to a degree. The government is not interested in every search, but is interested in knowing about Empirians searching items related to terroristic or violent activities.
C7. Are individuals subject to extralegal intimidation or physical violence by state authorities or any other actor in retribution for their online activities?- No.

[Aryax]

Freedom in the Multiverse
Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: the People's Republic of Aryax
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? The National President is both head of state and head of government, and it is elected by the People's Assembly, according to constitutional procedure. The National President then chooses a Cabinet, which forms the executive branch. Stanislav Tyrankov, who is serving a five-year term, firmly dominates the People's Revolutionary Movement (PRM), the sole legal party. Elections for the People's Assembly are tightly controlled as is the selection of a new National President, with positions being decided in advance in intraparty congresses.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? The People's Assembly is elected every five years. All candidates are preselected by the PRM and run unopposed. Every citizen aged 18 or more is eligible to vote. Turnouts are typically very high, at over 90%, but voting is mandatory.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? There is a clear legal framework to conduct elections, but it is carefully tailored to deny any genuine alternative to the PRM. Voting is mandatory, and the government closely tracks voting behavior - rejection of its preferred candidates leads to harsh persecution. Subnational delegates and councils are appointed vertically by the national government; similarly, mayors and municipal councils are appointed by the respective provincial council.
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? Aryax is a one-party state where the ruling PRM holds a legal and practical monopoly on political power and does not tolerate any opposition or deviation from the official line.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? The current political elite took power by force. Any dissent is outlawed and results in extreme punishments. Tyrankov continues to expand its already firm control over the PRM to prevent intraparty challenges, and benefits from a growing cult of personality.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? Political participation outside the PRM is largely impossible, and citizens in general can not influence governmental decisions. A small elite increasingly centered around Tyrankov dominates the PRM and controls all institutions. Purges in these political structures often take place, removing all officials that may be a threat to the leadership.
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? No segment of the population enjoys any political rights. In practice, the interests of women are not addressed by the political system. The LGBT collective and religious groups are subject to extremely severe repression and can not organize politically.
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? No officials are freely elected at any level. The People's Assembly plays a minimal role in crafting policies, which are all set backstage by Tyrankov and his close allies and then rubber-stamped. Free debate within the PRM is impeded by a growing cult of personality around Tyrankov.
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? Corruption is pervasive and may sap as much as 20% of the national GDP. The few anticorruption efforts in place are heavily politicized, and often used as an excuse for purging PRM elites and increasing popular support in key moments. In fact, selective government tolerance of corruption is used to reward elite loyalty.
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? The government is not accountable to the public. Even basic information about institutional operations is treated as a state secret. Official figures are known to be distorted to match the regime's ideological goals.
D1. Are there free and independent media? The state holds a legal monopoly on all domestic media outlets, which are heavily censored. Foreign broadcasts are barely accessible from within the country, and consumption of foreign media can be met with serious consequences. Private outlets do not exist even on the national intranet, while the global internet is subject to a government-controlled whitelist that denies any access to foreign media or content-creation platforms.
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? Intense state indoctrination precludes freedom of religion. Vaguely worded laws allow the state to crack down on any unauthorized religious activity; none are tolerated in practice. Thousands of religious believers are thought to have been killed by the state through mass internment in specialized prison camps for immediate execution. Proselytizing foreigners can face execution too.
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? The state must approve all curriculums and controls all educational institutions. The education system in general is marred by corruption, political indoctrination, discriminatory curricula and bureaucratic obstacles. Other intrusive controls include the use of informants.
D4. Are individuals free to express their personal views on political or other sensitive topics without fear of surveillance or retribution? A climate of fear surrounds private discussion and much of everyday life. The state operates an enormous surveillance apparatus that includes a huge number of informants, supported by the tagging of the population with unique ID chips. These chips support a Social Credit System that ranks citizens according to their political and non-political behavior. All communications are strictly monitored and isolated from global networks.
E1. Is there freedom of assembly? Freedom of assembly does not exist. The police and security services routinely break up unauthorized groups of more than three people and arrest participants. Organizing protests is extremely difficult and even spontaneous ones are almost non-existant in the face of overwhelming police and security presences and severe penalties.
E2. Is there freedom for non governmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work? All organizations must be created by the state or the PRM. No true NGOs operate in Aryax.
E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? Strikes, collective bargaining, or any organized labor activity is illegal.
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? The judiciary is controlled by the government both in law and in practice.
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? The rule of law is virtually non-existant. Vague offenses such as "anticonstitutional activities" criminalize an enormous range of activities and are enforced arbitrarily. Almost all detentions are carried abduction-style in conditions that amount to forced disappearences. Up to 1% of the population (70,000 people) may be imprisoned or in labor camps for political reasons. The powerful Ministry of State Security (MGB), the secret and political police, readily uses extralegal tactics to crush dissent. The state maintains a system of labor camps, located underground to avoid satellite imagery. Some have allegedly been transformed into extermination centres where detainees, mostly religious believers and LGBT people, are secretly executed upon arrival.
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? Aryax is free from war and insurgencies and the crime rate is extremely low, but state actors commit atrocities with absolute impunity. Torture, forced labor, starvation and other gruesome abuses are routine in labor camps. The state often carries public, private and extralegal executions.
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population? Harsh discrimination is prevalent throughout daily life, and it is mainly based on political reliability and ideological conformity. Citizens are classified according to their behavior through a Social Credit System. The state actively seeks to destroy religious groups and dismantle the LGBT community. Women do not enjoy legal equality and face widespread discrimination: article 14 of the Constitution calls for gender equality only "within the limits of basic biology", and laws banning "gender supremacy", "false reporting of a crime" and "anticonstitutional activities" compound the problem.
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? There are multiple draconian restrictions on freedom of movement. A citizen's Social Credit score affects his or her place of residence, employment and educational opportunities, and access to medical facilities and stores. Furthermore, changing place of residence, employment or education requires state approval, which largely depends on said Social Credit score. The state imposes a nationwide curfew and private motorized vehicles are banned, ostensibly for environmental reasons. Forced resettlement is also common. Internal travel requires prior explicit authorization and foreign travel is strictly controlled through a draconian exit visa system. Regulations define "illegal emigration" as treason.
G2. Are individuals able to exercise the right to own property and establish private businesses without undue interference from state or nonstate actors? Private property is not recognized, and the state owns all land and legally controls all economic activity.
G3. Do individuals enjoy personal social freedoms, including choice of marriage partner and size of family, protection from domestic violence, and control over appearance? Social freedoms are limited. Same-sexual activity is illegal, and state permission is required to marry a foreign citizen. Objectification and sexual harassment of women are rife. Women are also disproportionately affected by laws governing dress codes.
G4. Do individuals enjoy equality of opportunity and freedom from economic exploitation? Forced labor is common in detention camps and mass mobilization programs, even for children. A command economy and rampant corruption further diminish equality of opportunity.

[New Goldman]

Freedom in the Multiverse
Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: Empire of New Goldman
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? 3/4. The Emperor (the overall head of state) is not elected. Things are different however for the Prime Minister, the #2 in the nation. He is elected to a 4 year term, with no term restrictions. The Emperor may even elongate his term when necessary.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? 4/4. This is true in our case. The Council of Representatives are elected directly by their respective regions, and the Council Speaker itself is elected directly. The Senate meanwhile also has their members elected respectively, but the Senate President is elected post general elections by the members.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? 4/4. The Empire of New Goldman has the typical electoral college vote of any other nation. The Commission of National Elections are the ones who manage it.
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? 3/4. Not entirely. Article 1 Section VII mandates that political parties are only allowed to be formed in the Prime Ministerial Elections. Any election outside that will be considered illegal. As an alternative, candidates may form "Party Lists" with their mates. This is done to avoid chaos among state governments.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? 4/4. They can. The problem is that the people doesn't like them too much. There was in fact a communist Prime Minister in the 70s who was elected democratically.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? 4/4.Law mandates that no external government is to interfere in any form with the elections. Goldmanians in foreign countries however may cast a foreign vote, which will be counted as a popular vote.
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? 4/4. Yes they may. Every citizen is obligated to vote in any elections, whatever their race, color or sex is.
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? 3/4. The Prime Minister is in charge of the National Assembly and the entire government, and oversees its affairs. The Emperor however is the overall supreme head and figure that retains absolute power over any law.
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? 3/4. Their fairly working, but not all the time it is always apprehended.
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? 4/4. Yes. Even with the Emperor, this is mandated. The Government must always be open to its people and be honest with its every act. Any violation is considered treason.
D1. Are there free and independent media? 4/4. This is implemented rigorously. The Press is not moderated in any form by the government.
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? 2/4. This is probably the only controlled thing in New Goldman. The Abrahamic Religions are constitutionally banned from the Empire, and any mention of it will result in imprisonment. The ARs are considered a bluff to take power and is therefore limited.
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? 4/4. This is of course a right for each student. The Government must have no indoctrination implemented in the education system
D4. Are individuals free to express their personal views on political or other sensitive topics without fear of surveillance or retribution? 4/4. Yes. As long as the views aren't hostile to a particular audience, politicians are allowed to share their views.
E1. Is there freedom of assembly? 4/4. Yes. This is also an essential right for a normal citizen.
E2. Is there freedom for non governmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work? 4/4. This is true. Private Industry in fact aids the government sometimes in these kinds of issues. The Prime Minister himself is a CEO.
E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? 3/4. The only allowed far right organization is the Communist Party of New Goldman. The other trade unions are mostly Center Left or Democratic Socialists, and even Greens.
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? 4/4. Yes. It is one of the 3 essential branches of the government, and the freedom for it to operate independently in some aspects is respected.
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? 4/4. Yes. This is Constitutional law, and must be complied with.
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? 4/4. New Goldman respects peace and negotiation to the extent of its ability, so this is true.
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population? 4/4. Racial and sexual equality, and basically any other treatment, is protected by various legislations to avoid the spread of racism and sexism.
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? 4/4. Yes. This is a benefit of the citizen.
G2. Are individuals able to exercise the right to own property and establish private businesses without undue interference from state or nonstate actors? 4/4. Of course, as long as it complies with business laws.
G3. Do individuals enjoy personal social freedoms, including choice of marriage partner and size of family, protection from domestic violence, and control over appearance? 4/4. There is no apparent reason in New Goldman to control the lives of people. They are free to form relationships with anyone they wish without government interference.
G4. Do individuals enjoy equality of opportunity and freedom from economic exploitation? 4/4. The worker and employer both gets necessary freedoms that a citizen must have, and they have the opportunity to do independent things.

[Wuchu]

Freedom in the Multiverse
Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: Wuchu
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? We don't actually have a 'head of government' because... well, there's no government. The closest thing to the position are the Co-Chairmen of the Swamp Gang, whose authority comes entirely out of respect from the community - if the community decides they no longer like them, they will simply cease to follow their leadership. In that sense, yes, they were 'elected' freely and fairly.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Likewise, there is no legislature, and all policies and codes of conduct within Wuchu are established through consensus and consent of the community's members.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? All rules and regulations regarding the individual elections of positions such as the commanders of the Swamp Gang are decided by the electors themselves.
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? Yes, there are no prohibitions on organisation, association, or movement of peoples within Wuchu.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? Technically speaking, there is no 'opposition' as all participants in the social structures of Wuchu can be counted as 'non-partisan.' Power and authority to positions are granted through consent and consensus out of the respect of those being led.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? There are no prohibitions on association and involvement in any activities, though the community is likely to ostracise anyone they deem to be harmful or toxic. 'Voter intimidation' is impossible due to the nature of our social structures and lack of institutional power over its member base.
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? Yes, and said groups in fact compose a majority of Wuchu residents.
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? No, all policies, agendas, and codes are set by the community members themselves, although the vote and opinion of those in positions such as the Chairmen or commanders are highly influential and can sway groups of members.
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? Yes, due to the nature of our systems, corruption is essentially impossible to carry out in any meaningful capacity.
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? Yes, as all decisions and agendas are agreed upon by members themselves during union assemblies, and clerks are tasked to report all activities to the members during the beginning of union assemblies.
D1. Are there free and independent media? Yes.
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? Yes.
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? Yes. It is up to the individual teachers and the students to decide what they wish to learn, how they wish to learn; freedom of information is a core principle of our learning values.
D4. Are individuals free to express their personal views on political or other sensitive topics without fear of surveillance or retribution? Well, if their opinions prove to be a lil sus, the people around them may ostracise them from their circles, or keep an eye on their activities in order to stop them from doing any harm to the community at large.
E1. Is there freedom of assembly? Yes.
E2. Is there freedom for non governmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work? Yes, although armed foreign groups are prohibited from entering Wuchu-occupied territories, to ensure the safety of Wuchu residents.
E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? Yes.
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? No, there is no judiciary. All qualms, issues, and injustices are sorted out on an individual basis through mediated arbitration, through restorative justice, or some other agreed-upon mode.
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? Yes, the rights of persons are respected, even when it becomes evident they have committed an injustice to the community or its members. There is no process of violence or punishment, and should the arbitration fail, the guilty party is most likely to be simply ostracised and removed from Wuchu.
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? Due to the nature of our system, any large-scale activities must be supported and legitimised by the community. Rogue, illegitimate activities, such as discriminatory lynchings (which are unlikely, in any case, due to who our members tend to be and why they move to Wuchu in the first place) result in retaliation by the larger community against the perpetrators.
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population?
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? Yes.
G2. Are individuals able to exercise the right to own property and establish private businesses without undue interference from state or nonstate actors? Exploitative practices, such as those under the traditional system of Capitalism, aren't going to go anywhere in Wuchu. Personal property, mutually beneficial exchange relationships are free to be established, although nearly all property is shared collectively.
G3. Do individuals enjoy personal social freedoms, including choice of marriage partner and size of family, protection from domestic violence, and control over appearance? Yes, and in cases of domestic abuse, the abuser is removed from the community while the victim is generally supported by their friends and family, as well as the wider community.
G4. Do individuals enjoy equality of opportunity and freedom from economic exploitation? Yes - most residents of Wuchu come here specifically in order to escape exploitation and oppression and enjoy our laissez-faire social structures.

[Namabi]

Freedom in the Multiverse
Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: Namabi
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? The head of state (the President) was chosen via an election in which candidates had to have sufficient skills to lead the country. The head of government (the Head Technocrat) was hand-picked by a skilled, knowledgeable and experienced group of around 15 people.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Not quite, again, candidates had to have sufficient skills for the position prior to running.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? Again, candidates were ensured to have sufficient skills before running for the office. Otherwise, yes.

B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? Namabi doesn’t quite have an ‘opposition’, since political parties don’t exist.

Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: United Federation of Charellia
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? Yes
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Yes
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? Yes
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? Yes. The threshold to register a political party is quite low, with the only requirements being to have 300 confirmed members at the time of founding and to run at least 1 candidate in an election within a four year period. This is not the same as receiving official recognition, which grants the party additional rights, such as sending a representative to national debates. Official recognition requires a party-member to hold an elected office at the level of government at which the party intends to contest an election (meaning that a party can be recognized within a province but not nationally, or vice versa). The last national party to receive official recognition was the Green Party, which claimed its first seat on the National Council in 2018.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? While the United Liberal Party has controlled the executive branch since 2004, control of the legislative branch has shifted three times during that same period, with the ULP, Democratic Socialist Party, and centre-right Federation Party all holding power at various times.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? Yes
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? Yes
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? Yes

A1. Do infrastructural limitations restrict access to the internet or the speed and quality of internet connections? No
A2. Is access to the internet prohibitively expensive or beyond the reach of certain segments of the population for geographical, social, or other reasons? No. The price of internet access is regulated, and the government has instituted low-income subsidies as part of its COVID-19 relief program.
A3. Does the government exercise technical or legal control over internet infrastructure for the purposes of restricting connectivity? No
A4. Are there legal, regulatory, or economic obstacles that restrict the diversity of service providers? No
A5. Do national regulatory bodies that oversee service providers and digital technology fail to operate in a free, fair, and independent manner? No
B1. Does the state block or filter, or compel service providers to block or filter, internet content? Only in cases where the content constitutes a criminal offence, and only by court order.
B2. Do state or nonstate actors employ legal, administrative, or other means to force publishers, content hosts, or digital platforms to delete content? Only in cases where there are grounds to lay a criminal charge against the producer of the content.
B3. Do restrictions on the internet and digital content lack transparency, proportionality to the stated aims, or an independent appeals process? No. Rules are clear and non-onerous to the point that most citizens will never risk running afoul of them.
B4. Do online journalists, commentators, and ordinary users practice self-censorship? No
B5. Are online sources of information controlled or manipulated by the government or other powerful actors to advance a particular political interest? Not within Charellia, although we cannot speak to foreign-based content that our citizens may choose to access.
B6. Are there economic or regulatory constraints that negatively affect users’ ability to publish content online? No
B7. Does the online information landscape lack diversity? No. Charellia is home to numerous independent blogs, journals, and newspapers, and does not restrict access to foreign media, even when it is hostile to our national interest. Ongoing education campaigns teach citizens to recognize online propaganda.
B8. Do conditions impede users’ ability to mobilize, form communities, and campaign, particularly on political and social issues? No
C1. Do the constitution or other laws fail to protect rights such as freedom of expression, access to information, and press freedom, including on the internet, and are they enforced by a judiciary that lacks independence? The Charellian constitution holds freedom of expression and intellectual freedom to be the foundation of democracy, and courts have consistently enforced the precedent that any legal restriction of these rights must be both unambiguous in its scope and must show beyond a reasonable doubt that its enforcement is required to prevent demonstrable harm to a person or persons. (prosecuting somebody for inciting a riot would be an example of an enforceable restriction)
C2. Are there laws that assign criminal penalties or civil liability for online activities? Online activities are subject to the same laws as real-world activities.
C3. Are individuals penalized for online activities? If those activities would constitute a crime in a non-online setting.
C4. Does the government place restrictions on anonymous communication or encryption? No
C5. Does state surveillance of internet activities infringe on users’ right to privacy? No
C6. Are service providers and other technology companies required to aid the government in monitoring the communications of their users? No.
C7. Are individuals subject to extralegal intimidation or physical violence by state authorities or any other actor in retribution for their online activities? No

Make sure to answer honestly. Questions are freeform, a simple yes or no may not always suffice.

Nation: Motherland of Pindorama
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? Well, yes, he was elected in the 2029 election and re-elected in 2033 and 2037. However, during the Purple Revolution of 2039-40, he instigated a self-coup that installed him as a dictator.
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Yes, they were directly elected, but not through "free and fair" means, unless banning popular opposition parties, arresting and torturing political rivals, and implementing laws that assure the election is won by a specific party is considered to be fair game.
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? No, electoral laws are definitely not fair, since they guarantee the election is won by the government.
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? No. People are forbidden from organizing parties unless it has the support of the National Popular Front (the ruling party). Opposition parties have a limit of how many members can join the party in a year, are limited to a maximum number of seats in the Congress, and these parties can be banned at any time without a given reason.
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? Given the way laws were written, it is currently impossible for the opposition to gain more seats than the governing coalition. Although these parties can have massive popular support, they will be dismantled at the Conductor's whim if they prove to be an obstacle.
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extra-political means?
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? No. Clergymen are banned from entering politics, transexuals are not recognized as citizens and therefore can't be part of the government, women are excluded from roles of responsibility (there are exceptions though), and Muslims are stripped of their political rights.
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? What freely elected head of government? Yes, the Conductor (both the head of government and head of state) determines the policies and laws, the legislative has some powers but it's subject to the Conductor.
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? Yes, unless the Conductor and his friends are involved in some shady stuff. This rarely happens, as the Conductor is known for his hatred of corrupt politicians.
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? No.
D1. Are there free and independent media? Independent media? Sure. Free media? Not so much.
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? No. Islam and Scientology are banned, non-Christian institutions are heavily taxed and regulated, proselytism of foreign churches is banned, among other discriminatory policies, such as the complete ban on circumcision.
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? No. The purpose of the educational system is not only to educate people but also to make them into obedient vassals of the state. Professors are banned from exposing their views.

E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? No. All trade unions are controlled by the state.
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? No. The judiciary is obedient to the executive. The Supreme Court is a de facto puppet organization under the control of the Conductor, and the President of the Supreme Court holds a ceremonial role.
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? Yes. At least that's what the government says.
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? No. Any citizen can be abducted and tortured at the whim of the military and the police, although these only happens against suspected criminals and dissidents.
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population? No. All laws and policies that protected certain groups from discrimination were scrapped shortly before and during the Purple Revolution, and many of these groups are subject to daily abuses, some of them promoted by the government.
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? As long as they do not permanently leave Pindorama, yes. This only applies to native-born citizens, as naturalized citizens are free to leave at any moment.

The state also arranges marriage between partners with "desirable traits", and prohibits marriage between a "desirable partner" and an "undesirable agent".

Nation: Democratic States of Toin
A1. Was the current head of government or other chief national authority elected through free and fair elections? Yes. 4
A2. Were the current national legislative representatives elected through free and fair elections? Yes. 4
A3. Are the electoral laws and framework fair, and are they implemented impartially by the relevant election management bodies? Yes. 4
B1. Do the people have the right to organize in different political parties or other competitive political groupings of their choice, and is the system free of undue obstacles to the rise and fall of these competing parties or groupings? Yes. 4
B2. Is there a realistic opportunity for the opposition to increase its support or gain power through elections? Yes. 4
B3. Are the people’s political choices free from domination by forces that are external to the political sphere, or by political forces that employ extrapolitical means? Yes. 4
B4. Do various segments of the population (including ethnic, religious, gender, LGBT, and other relevant groups) have full political rights and electoral opportunities? No. Only registered voters may vote. Registered voters have to be citizens and cannot be incarcerated or convicted of a felony at the time of election. To get registered, there usually is no prejudice by voting staff or volunteers, but generally more rural or older staffers or volunteers may hold a prejudice in places of Toin - the rule generally is the more rural the more frequent. To the average citizen, though, prejudice is not often encountered in the voting sphere. Once registered, the "no" becomes a "yes" (OOC: The answer here would've been yes, with isolated incidents of discrimination) 3
C1. Do the freely elected head of government and national legislative representatives determine the policies of the government? Yes, but don't necessarily carry it out. The Cabinet carries the policy and legislation out. 4
C2. Are safeguards against official corruption strong and effective? Yes, but it's not perfect. Cases slip through occasionally. 4
C3. Does the government operate with openness and transparency? Yes, with certain exceptions. Documents that have the potential of being a threat to national security are not freely available, regardless of where they came from, but if someone makes a Freedom of Information Act request, chances are they will receive the document. 4
D1. Are there free and independent media? Yes. There is also public media that is owned by the state, but it is no different than private media. 4
D2. Are individuals free to practice and express their religious faith or nonbelief in public and private? Yes. Historically, the clerk of Parliament invited members to join in a moment of silent prayer before the session started. Since 2012, the clerk invites members to join in a moment of silent meditation instead. 4
D3. Is there academic freedom, and is the educational system free from extensive political indoctrination? Yes. 4
D4. Are individuals free to express their personal views on political or other sensitive topics without fear of surveillance or retribution? Usually. Extremist views, such as calling for a Nazi-esque regime or an Islamic government that organizations such as ISIS are actively trying to implement will most likely call for you being placed on a surveillance list, but most anything else flies. 3
E1. Is there freedom of assembly? No. 1 (OOC: this question meant in general, not during special circumstances)
E2. Is there freedom for non governmental organizations, particularly those that are engaged in human rights– and governance-related work? Yes. 4
E3. Is there freedom for trade unions and similar professional or labor organizations? Yes. 4
F1. Is there an independent judiciary? Yes. 4
F2. Does due process prevail in civil and criminal matters? Yes. 4
F3. Is there protection from the illegitimate use of physical force and freedom from war and insurgencies? The former: yes. The latter: all male residents over the age of 20 must register for the draft to enable them to be called up for service should it be absolutely necessary. Thus, there is no "freedom from war." However, Toin has not used the draft since World War II and follows a pacifist military policy when it comes to foreign engagements, so effectively this is an archane law. 4
F4. Do laws, policies, and practices guarantee equal treatment of various segments of the population? Yes. There is always prejudice, but it is not frequently encountered, especially in denser areas. 3
G1. Do individuals enjoy freedom of movement, including the ability to change their place of residence, employment, or education? No. 1
G2. Are individuals able to exercise the right to own property and establish private businesses without undue interference from state or nonstate actors? Yes. 4
G3. Do individuals enjoy personal social freedoms, including choice of marriage partner and size of family, protection from domestic violence, and control over appearance? Yes. 4

Nation: The Union of British North America
A1. Do infrastructural limitations restrict access to the internet or the speed and quality of internet connections? In some parts of the NAU, where they are rural and may lack infrastructural access. 4
A2. Is access to the internet prohibitively expensive or beyond the reach of certain segments of the population for geographical, social, or other reasons?
If in impoverished, rural areas it can be expensive but the general and provincial governments in question are pushing for public broadband and more infrastructure. 4
A3. Does the government exercise technical or legal control over internet infrastructure for the purposes of restricting connectivity?
Given the development of the internet in my country, called the 'combinet' and based more on Project Xanadu's ideas for the world wide web, there is some centralized control but not enough to deter people from getting on the web. 5
A4. Are there legal, regulatory, or economic obstacles that restrict the diversity of service providers?
No, aside from the growing oligopoly of service providers in the NAU. 4
A5. Do national regulatory bodies that oversee service providers and digital technology fail to operate in a free, fair, and independent manner?
No, they are independent and impartial to service providers and digital technology providers. 5
B1. Does the state block or filter, or compel service providers to block or filter, internet content?
Only for things deemed criminal or extremely obscene, such as snuff films, abuse of animals, abuse of children, or buying or selling hard drugs 4
B2. Do state or nonstate actors employ legal, administrative, or other means to force publishers, content hosts, or digital platforms to delete content?
Not really. It's practically impossible to delete content because it's based on Project Xanadu, which stresses backwards attribution to an extreme level. 5

No, there is an appeals process through administrative tribunals and even the law courts. 5

B6. Are there economic or regulatory constraints that negatively affect users’ ability to publish content online?
My nation's version of the internet has built-in micropayment systems for content, so content creators are far less dependent on advertisers. And prices are not prohibitively expensive. 5
B7. Does the online information landscape lack diversity?
No, there is wide diversity thanks to the interconnected backwards attribution to all created documents, leading people to past documents and ongoing discussions. Copyright is somewhat strong but still reasonable. 5
B8. Do conditions impede users’ ability to mobilize, form communities, and campaign, particularly on political and social issues?

Not really, though there are 'moshnets', servers and platforms pushing against the micropayment systems and somewhat strong copyright protections of the combinet. 5
C1. Do the constitution or other laws fail to protect rights such as freedom of expression, access to information, and press freedom, including on the internet, and are they enforced by a judiciary that lacks independence?
No, there is constitutional and statutory (some are called quasi-constitutional) laws to protect privacy, allow access to information, and protect online expression and press freedom. 5
C2. Are there laws that assign criminal penalties or civil liability for online activities?
Yes, clearly defined for illegal activities as listed above and few other criminal matters, such as hiring assassins. 5
C3. Are individuals penalized for online activities?
If criminal. 5

It does but there increasing protections and better technologies to protect users' right to privacy. 4
