[Schrodinger Catu]

From: The Desk of the Spiritual Underchair
To: The International Community
Regarding:

The Theocracy of Schrodinger Catu- National Standards

1 - What is the legal drinking age? There is no current age at which one can legally drink. One must be of at least bar-counter height however to purchase alcohol.

2 - Driving age? Driving age is an obtuse idea in Schrodinger Catu. Only the elite (i.e. those in direct employ of our Most Glorious Goddess and Empress, or her Holy Seer, Guru Al-Apopishon) are currently legally able to drive fuel consuming vehicles. All other residents may use the common mode of day-to-day travel via the common mule at any age.

3 - Age of sexual consent? With current laws and by-laws regarding public nudity in Schrodinger Catu, it is of no surprise that from time to time public acts of what some might consider a sexual nature occur. Once the spiritual advisers to a particular family (much like some of the other "physicians" that care for families in other countries) have declared an adolescent of a child bearing age, no further repercussions would be taken against an individual partaking in any act with said willing participant.

4 - Voting age? Because the glorious citizens of Schrodinger Catu have had this troubling onus taken off of our delicate shoulders by our Most Holy Empress, we no longer have to regulate this arcane practice.

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? - Adult is a term loosely used once one had reached both the age of child bearing, as well as a general consensus by his or her family and spiritual adviser regarding their cognitive state.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? - All drugs are legal, however there is a public sense of decorum with use.

-Pot - Widely used and accepted. Acceptable to use while working, while in religious observance, or during recreational activities.

- Tobacco - Is a less common and vulgar practice typically utilized by LMI citizens who cannot afford other drugs.

- Cocaine -Legal and popular with Schrodinger Catu's emerging middle class.

-Alcohol - legal, but less preferred to pot.

- LSD - Legal and widely used during religious holidays.

- Caffeine -Popular with the Furniture Restoration Workers Union.

- Heroin - Legal and typically consumed through burning or smoking- needles are seen as vulgar and distasteful by the general populous.

7 - Can people have guns? All citizens of our Theocracy are legally armed at adulthood and trained extensively in defensive combat.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called Formal: The Theocracy of Schrodinger Catu / SCt (abbrv)/ Catushians.

9 - Do you have the death penalty? Yes

10 - What is the speed limit? All mules must be subjugated at any time to weight testing, which does limit top speed to somewhere around 17-20 / kph

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? Worship lies in the Spiritual Center of One's Self- and may be called by and and all names, as is taught by our Guru. Free-speech is a blessing among Catushians, granted by our most Serene and Holy Empress and Goddess. Whatever name we choose to give to her enlightenment is welcome and honored.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - images of pediphillia & rape are frowned upon, but legal.

13-Prostitution - Taxed, but legal.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory -Legal- but these practices generally hold themselves solely for religious reasons, and so do not represent well in day to day life.

15-Homosexuality - Sexual Identity is sacrosanct and a legal right as granted by our Holy Empress.

16-Stem cell research -This technology is unknown in SCt.

17-Human Cloning - Also an unknown technology.

18-Cock Fighting? There is no precedence for this practice.

19-Slavery? -Indentured servitude is not unheard of. There are some "blue laws" regarding slavery, but widely not known for adherence.

20-Hunting? Legal, but due to our Nation's drug and nudity laws it is heavily regulated.

21-Fishing - A favorite National pastime, as we may use its ends to feed our National Animal.

22-Eating meat? Vegetarianism is known in some Spiritual circles. Eating meat is perfectly legal, as we take our cues from our National Animal.

23-Littering? Is unheard of- but no laws stand for or against.

24-Unisex bathrooms ? Do exist in more enlightened areas- and are a requirement in buildings of State.

25-Suicide? -All rights to life and death are Sacrosanct- as is choice regarding one's time of demise.

26 - Gay marriage? -Marriages are common between all persons of any Sexual Identity.

27-Abortion - Is rare, but yes, it is legal. It must be approved in some cases by our Holy Seer- particularly if the child has had an augury of some import.

28- What types of sexual activity (if any) are illegal ? The rape of children can carry a death sentence.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? Clothing is optional.

30-Do you have obscenity laws? If so - how would you define "obscene". - There are no laws against free speech.

31-What system do you have for taxes?
- All taxes are collected by our State offices and then brought to the coffers of our Holy Empress.

31aSales tax? Is unnecessary.

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 have an audience with our Holy Seer and an augury is cast to see whether or not your citizenship would be auspicious. Of course, new children and their families are sometimes exiled because of this practice, but it keeps a sound minded and spiritual community within our boarders.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? Please see our previous statement regarding citizenship.

34-What type of government are you? Corrupt Dictatorship

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? The Holy Empress retains this right, however her statements on the interference of government with regards to the civil rights of our people remains that the media and our people should have free creative reign.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? We honor both our Holy Seer and Patient and All Knowing Empress as well as revere the Common House Cat, our National Treasure. We have a way of life defined by our love for leisure activity and narcotics. All persons reserve the right to their own Spiritual Adviser and reserve the right to the council of a State Representative if a need comes to replace this individual.


We welcome your questions, and have been grateful in answering these few inquiries in a hope tp improve Public Relations with the rest of the world.

Best,

LuLu Dudendu -
Spiritual Incatantae
Minister of Public Relations and Spiritual Underchair to the Guru of Schrodinger Catu

Atheism is most common, Catholicism is a large second, Lutheranism comes in third, with various religions also represented as less than 5% of the population.

[Letat]

The People's Republic of Letat

1 - What is the legal drinking age? 18

2 - Driving age? 15-18, varying by province. As many as 40% of Letatians do not have a license, preferring the use of a bicycle and public transportation, which is very efficent.

3 - Age of sexual consent? 16

4 - Voting age? 18

5 - At what age would someone become an adult (free from parental control)? The Letatian age of majority is 18.

6 - What types of recreational drugs (if any) are legal? - After receiving a medical clearance of physical maturity, no substance is illegal, though all production is controlled by a Popular Directorate, a sort of public-private hybrid enterprise common in Letat. PoD Narcoprod is required to label all of its products and to make information readily available about the safe and responsible use of its products. Pricing and availability is set partially by international demand, as PoD Narcoprod exports much of its crop. The Letatian government firmly opposes the sale of Letatian narcotics in nations where those substances are illegal, and violators are severely punished. There are consternations that Letatian foreign policy is unduly influenced by PoD Narcoprod, ever aiming to reduce the number of supplier states while advocating worldwide legalization of recreational drugs. Private, "personal use" cultivation is permitted, but cultivators must register with PoD Narcoprod.

Using drugs in a manner that endangers the public (i.e. driving under the influence of marijuana or alcohol) is an offense of medium severity.

-Pot - cheap, legal and popular. Narcoprod sells in three intensity classes, Class III being simply faaaantastic. Marijuana use is embedded in a cultural framework that encourages its use as a communal, relaxing activity that is not particularly unusual or rebellious.

- Tobacco - enjoys consistent popularity. While Narcoprod publishes the ingredients in their cigarettes on every pack, and the public is well-aware of the dangers of smoking (as they are for the use of any substance), the government does not consider it a prerogative to dissuade its citizens from tobacco use.

- Cocaine - Legal, but with limited legal foreign demand, PoD Narcoprod finds large-scale production unprofitable. The small amounts that are produced are expensive relative to other substances and substance-users tend towards others that are more readily available.

-Alcohol - legal and very popular, though embedded within a cultural framework that regards alcohol, like marijuana, as a normal part of communal relations.

- LSD - Legal. Foreign demand is limited, but domestic demand is modest, keeping LSD and other hallucinogenics readily available.

- Caffeine - Legal, of course. What kind of nation runs without coffee? PoD Narcoprod does not produce caffeine pills, however, and the National Customs and Port Authority does not import them.

- Heroin - Given the general demand internationally for medical morphine, opium derivatives are readily available. Heroin per se is more expensive than recreational morphine, but available - if not particularly popular.

- Other? Citizens are free to use whatever substances they choose so long as they do not endanger others, and the government mandates that the public be informed as to all the effects of a given substance.

7 - Can people have guns? Ownership is a right of the citizens. As recent victors of a revolution against Letat's tyrannical monarch, many citizens have private arms and many communities - particularly those where pro-republican sentiment was strong - maintain Citizens' Reserves, a hidden cache of weapons that the volunteer Community Guard may distribute in times of national crisis, such as invasion.

8 - What is the official full name of your country? What is the informal name? What are people of your nation called Formal: The People's Republic of Letat// Informal: The People's Republic, the Republic, or Letat / Citizens: Letatians

9 - Do you have the death penalty? No.

10 - What is the speed limit? National highway speed limits are 120k/h, cities usually hold a limit of 60k/h, and residential areas may be as low as 40k/h. Given, however, that Letat has a high-speed rail system and a growing network of public bicycles, long-distance travel is likely to be accomplished via these means rather than automobile.

11 - What types of religions would are permitted or restricted? Religion is permitted, though the government encourages the attitude that it is a matter of private choice with no place in the nation's political sphere. The state taxes faith communities, offering deductions for funds used for non-proselytizing charitable purposes. The government reserves the right to ban faiths regarded as coercive or dangerous to the Community.

Which of the following are be legal:

12- Porn - Legal and regulated by the Popular Directorate for Adult Entertainment (PoD Adenter). PoD Adenter guarantees a decent wage for "models" and ensures that all acts depicted are in line with the - admittedly liberal - laws of Letat. PoD Adenter maintains an investigative division known as Prevex (Division for the Prevention of Exploitative Practices), to root out and break up independent operations not in keeping with Adenter's regulations

13-Prostitution - Regulated by PoD Adenter. Prevex is similarly charged with the task of identifying and ending exploitative prostitution.

14-Polygamy/ Polyandry/ Polyamory - While Letat does not regulate the sexual practices of its citizens, Polygamy is not legally sanctioned either, mostly because of the complicated legislation it is presumed to entail. Bilateral civil unions, on the other hand, do receive certain benefits and legal protections.

15-Homosexuality - Homosexual bilateral civil unions are permitted, and the uncoerced sexual preferences of its citizens are not under the authority of the Letatian government.

16-Stem cell research - Permitted, though not directly funded by the government, which focuses primarily on infrastructure, education, and social programs.

17-Human Cloning - Not within the technical capacities of Letat

18-Cock Fighting? - Would fall under the purview of Animal Cruelty regulations at Community and Federal levels. It is generally outlawed, and transit of animals for purposes of cockfighting from a community where it is legal to one where it is illegal and vice versa would be a prosecutable medium-severity offense on both Community and Federal levels.

19-Slavery? Illegal. Forced labor is employed within the penal system to rehabilitate medium- and high-severity offenders, but is considered a form of paid labor as laborers do receive penal scrip valid to purchase certain leisures in federal detention centers and spouses may receive remuneration from the State during the incarceration of their loved one.

20-Hunting? Heavily regulated at the Federal level, which regards the need to preserve the biodiversity and natural beauty of Letat a primary concern. The Federal Ministry of the Environment evaluates each province every three years for biodiversity and then publishes a "Quotas and Seasons" report, detailing the number of hunting permits each province may issue and the maximum permissible length of hunting seasons. Poaching is a medium-severity offense, punishable by detention and forced labor.

21-Fishing - Fishing is regulated and controlled by PoD Seafood Collection (Seacoll), organized as independent fishers operating under the oversight of the Ministry of the Environment in order to keep fish stocks plentiful.

22-Eating meat? While relatively few Letatians are strict vegetarians, they tend to eat little meat. The Ministry of Agriculture gently encourages vegetarianism via public relations, while the Ministry of the Environment's water taxes favor less water-intensive vegetable and grain agriculture over animal agriculture.

23-Littering? Littering is an offense of minor severity, usually punished by one day of community service spent cleaning up litter.

24-Unisex bathrooms? In government buildings, yes. In PoD buildings, this is usually decided by the staff.

25-Suicide? While the government guarantees psychological counseling and encourages citizens to seek it out rather than commit to an irreversible course of action, suicide is legal, and there is a considerable body of legislation dealing with the rendering of debts left by the deceased and the payout of benefits to his or her survivors. Euthanasia is permitted.

26 - Gay marriage? - Yes.

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 ? Nonconsensual, coercive, and pedophilic sex are forbidden even within the bounds of a marriage.

29-Is your country's/culture clothing optional or mandatory? There is no national dress code. Public nudity is permitted, though frowned upon culturally, and PoDs usually enforce dress codes in their facilities.

30-Do you have obscenity laws? If so - how would you define "obscene". - No.

31-What system do you have for taxes?
- Income taxes are fairly steep, ranging from 60-90% in total between Federal, provincial, and community taxes depending on paygrade, with a strong emphasis on the notion that the government is paid well because it provides well.

31aSales tax? Not technically. The partial federal and communal ownership of Popular Directorates effectively incorporates some level of sales tax into all products as negotiated PoD by PoD.

31bImport/Export tax? Usually a nominal Customs fee of around 1%

32-What is the criterion for someone to pass to become a citizen? Letat acknowledges "Right of Blood" and "Right of Soil" citizenship. Additionally, foreign nationals may be considered naturalized after living in Letat for a period of five years and passing a Federal citizenship examination.

33-What types of people do you allow (or not allow) into your country? Letat regards itself as an asylum for the oppressed, and thus welcomes the persecuted. Letat rarely extradites criminals unless the law their behavior would have been considered criminal in Letat as well. Letat will not extradite a suspect to a government that carries out capital punishment without first receiving a guarantee that said suspect will not be executed.

34-What type of government are you? Democratic Republic, emphasizing a federation of communities rather than provinces, with strong leanings towards democratic socialism.

35-To what degree is your government allowed to censor or restrict the media? While the government maintains fairly draconian anti-falsehood laws, in practice courts err on the side of free speech over censorship.

36-Aside from laws - what sort of unofficial (and unenforced) cultural rules and traditions do you have? Certain areas of Letat are more conservative than others, especially the royalist strongholds of the Conservative Party for Justice and the Fatherland. People in these areas tend to be more introverted and mistrustful of outsiders, including Letatians from the pro-Republican urban areas.

Letatians love flowers, and an extensive and subtle code of species and coloration gives off various meanings. Thus, though Letatians will often be viewed with flowers of various species tucked into pockets, buttonholes, or caps, foreigners are advised not to do so unless they understand what their particular choice of coding means. Woe be to the traveller who tucks a white daffodil into his collar and a red rose in the back of his cap by flight of whimsy unless he's willing to debate passers-by on the merits of expanding the North Letat National Wilderness Reserve and offering the endangered resident tropical polar bears nominal voting rights. Better to identify yourself as a tourist so the locals won't expect that you have much to say. A tourist might also wear a red rose in his or her breast pocket and expect to be left in relative peace for the most part - this signifies a mild patriotic nostalgia for the Revolution and is usually well received.

PoD facilities - and thus much of the national economy - shut down on Sundays and close early on Saturdays.
