Nation Name: The Empire of Beringovia
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs:

Motherland Party: Center-right

Christian Democratic Party: Center-left on economic issues, right of center on social issues

Liberal Democratic Party: Center right on economic issues, left of center on social issues

Social Democratic Party: Moderately leftist, currently in an electorial coalition with the Green Party

Green Party: Leftist, with an emphasis on environmental issues. Currently in an electorial coalition with the Social Democrates

Christian Socialist Party: Leftist on religious principle.

Socialist Workers Party: Far left, very small

Party of Slavic Unity: Small, far right party which seeks greater ties to Russia and other Slavic countries

Type of Government: Federal Constitutional Monarchy

Religion:

Eastern Orthodox Christianity (approximately 70% of population), the official religion of the royal court, though the rest of the government is basically secular

Protestantism (approximately 15% of the population) mainly split between the Presbyterian Church, and the United Evangelical church of Beringovia

Most of the rest of the population is religiously unaffiliated, though there are small communities of Roman Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Buddists, among others.

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage:
There is no great public support for recognizing it. If a gay couple moves in with each other and holds themselves out as husband and husband, or wife and wife that's fine, but they aren't legally recognized as married.
Illegal Immigration: Illiegal immigration is illegal, and grounds for deportation. Most Beringovians have a positive attitude towards legal immigrants.
Abortion: Only legal in cases of rape, incest, or "medical necessity." The medical necessity exception tends to be broadly applied.
Welfare and social security: There is little support for a European-style welfare state, though most Beringovians recognize that some sort of social saftey net is necessary.
Healthcare: Citizens are required to maintain health insurance, though they may choose from a variety of plans.
Education: A strong education system is considered essential to a modern society. For historical reasons, most schools are run by churches and religious groups, though they are publically financed through a voucer system administered at the provencial level.
Death Penalty: Considered more trouble than it is worth. Most criminals would consider life in a Beringovian prison camp to be a fate worse than death anyway.
Free Speech: Considered essential to a free and democratic society.
Environmentalism: A balance needs to be struck between economic developoment and protecting the natural environment.
Conservatism: American-style conservatism (meaning social conservatism combined with economic libertarianism) is the dominant political philosophy in Beringovia today
Liberalism: Beringovia's political culture is strongly influenced by the classical liberal tradition.
Anarchy: Viewed as totally incompatable with any sort of civilized society
Socialism: Generally viewed negatively, tough a minority of citizens are moderate socialists.
Communism: For historical reasons most Beringovians are strongly anti-communist. (The nation was founded by Russian monarchists who sought political refuge following the Russian Revolution.)
Monarchy: The Beringovian monarchy is quite popular, and viewed as an important part of our heritage.
Authoritarianism: Viewed negatively
Democracy: Viewed positively
Republic: Considered a perfectly respectable way of organizing a state
Religion in general: Viewed positively
Islam: Followed by only a tiny fraction of the population. There is some anti-islamic sentiment, though most Beringovians profess to be tolerant of moderate Islam.
Christianity: Followed by a majority of the population, and considered an important part of Beringovia's heritage.
Hinduism: Not followed by a significant number of Beringovians. Most Beringovians are tolerant of Hinduism, but don't know much about it.
Buddhism: Ditto
Paganism: There is a somewhat widespread perception that equates it to "devil worship."
Atheism: In general, atheists are tolerated, though militant atheists who like to demonize Christianity and religion in general tend to be disliked.
Opinion on Kynlin: Don't have enough information to form an opinion.

Nation Name: Fedaracy of the States of Kiravia (Kiravix Rectârca)

Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs: Organised parties are banned by our Fundamental Statute.The ideology that currently informs government policy is Political Mandirism, the applied political theories of the Mandirist philosophical tradition. Religious Socialism, Fiscal Conservatism, Right-Libertarianism, Coscivian Nationalism, and Agrarianism have influential presences in government.

Type of Government: Unicameral, Republican Asymmetric Federation (Federacy) of 85 States with varying degrees of autonomy.
Religion: Christianity and Coscivian Monotheïsm are culturally dominant and often practised simultaneously. Bahá'í Faith is the largest minority religion.

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Marriage and monogamy are important in Kiravian society, and the population supports marriage regardless of the genders of the partners.
Illegal Immigration: Illegal immigrants are deported. Obtaining Permanent Residency through legal means is not difficult.
Abortion: Culturally taboo. Late-term abortion is illegal throughout the Federacy. Most states have additional restrictions. However, it is always permitted in the case of a health risk to the mother, and permitted in many states in the case of rape.

Welfare and social security: Welfare programmes vary by state. Some have plenty, most have some, some have none. The Federal government does operate a Social Security service.
Healthcare: Universal in 12 states. Most of the rest have income-based public healthcare options to make sure that the working classes recieve medical care.
Education: Public education is provided by each state. Education and intellectuallity are highly valued.
Death Penalty: Legal but disused in most States and for Federal courts. Explicitly prohibited in the rest.
Free Speech: Sacrosanct.
Environmentalism: We take care of our environment without adhering to the Western pseudoreligion of 60s-based environmentalism, which most Kiravians scoff at.
Conservatism: See Liberalism.
Liberalism: We are not a Western nation, and our politics cannot be accurately described in terms of Left and Right or Liberal and Conservative.

Anarchy: Not sustainable.
Socialism: We have some socialistic policies.
Communism: There are many apolitical Coscivian schools of thought that are similar to Marxist material analysis, but revolutionary leftism is a fringe ideology here.
Monarchy: Disliked.
Authoritarianism: Disliked
Democracy: Good, but a Republic is better.
Republic: A system that has served us well.
Religion in general: Positive, ubiquitous, and culturally influential.
Islam: Favourable.
Christianity: Favourable, adhered to by most Kiravians.
Hinduism: Favourable, but not practised by a socially visible community.
Buddhism: Actual Buddhism is viewed with admiration. The secular stripping-down of Buddhism promoted by Western atheïsts is not.
Paganism: Traditional animistic and polytheïstic religions are viewed neutrally. Neopagans are commonly viewed as odd but benign, except for the Brudhaist pagan faith promoted by the radical Freelander movement, which is viewed as dangerous (but is legal).
Atheism: Unfavourable and quite rare, but we don't get violent about it.
Opinion on Kynlin: None yet.

Nation Name: The Fascist Federation of the Grand World Order
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs: There are no official political parties, just loosely-defined, unorganized "power blocs."

-The Italian Fascists: Regular Italian Fascism; currently most dominant.

-The National Socialists: Nazis, some of them Hitlerites. Used to be extremely formidable within the Government, but are losing their power to the British Fascists.

-The British Fascists: Followers of Oswald Mosley's democratic form of Fascism, often blend into the Italian Fascists extremely well.

-The "Zealots": Extremely far-right Christians, Fascist or not. Very populist.

Type of Government: Military-controlled Anglo-Italian Fascist Autocracy.
Religion: The Government officially is ignorant of religion, though most people in the GWO are Lutherans.

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Up to the institution marrying the couple. Churches aren't forced to recognize gay marriage, though it's not illegal for a more liberal church to organize a civil union.
Illegal Immigration: If you survived the wilderness and you're willing to integrate into our society and pull your weight, welcome aboard. If you're here to tell us how inferior our culture is, get out.
Abortion: Illegal as a contraceptive. Still permitted in cases of rape, medical emergency, et cetera.
Welfare and social security: Welfare is reserved for those who truly are medically disabled. Social security is a courtesy service of the Government- after all, you're the one paying for it.
Healthcare: Completely privatized. Costs are kept down by lack of malpractice lawsuits- which is in turn caused by extreme hostility on the Government's behalf towards frivolous lawsuits, which nearly all malpractice cases are considered.
Education: Privatized with a government-run "basic" system for those who lack initiative or can't afford it. Vouchers are provided for promising students who cannot afford regular private schools.
Death Penalty: Yes. Used often.
Free Speech: A privilege, not a right. You can speak your mind. However, the Government maintains a large pool of "Orators," professional debaters and intellectuals ready to disprove any ideologies outside of Fascism while humiliating dissenters on television. If you refuse to "sit down and have a chat," as Orators often say, then you are regarded as a coward and stripped of your free speech.
Environmentalism: We value human advancement and commerce more, but we've found that many "green" activities are also cost-cutting.
Conservatism: Good.
Liberalism: Bad.
Anarchy: Must and will be destroyed by any means, including military force and deployment of weapons of mass destruction.
Socialism: See Anarchy.
Communism: See Anarchy and Socialism.
Monarchy: Outdated, but good.
Authoritarianism: Great.
Democracy: Could work, but mankind isn't ready for it, and won't be for a long time.
Republic: See Democracy.
Religion in general: The Government does not have a viewpoint on religion. The People, however, view religion as inherent in civilized culture and thus are fairly devout.
Islam: A major religion within the GWO. Treated like any other.
Christianity: The majority of GWO citizens are Christians, specifically Lutherans.
Hinduism: A minor religion. Treated like any other.
Buddhism: See Hinduism.
Paganism: Could gain some weird looks, but treated like any other citizen.
Atheism: Often associated with snobbish pseudo-intellectual Leftists, thus viewed with some contempt- though mainly, it's "You're treated the way you treat others." If you go around telling people they're idiots who believe in fairy tales, you'll end up with your skeleton rearranged in an alley and your wallet missing.
Opinion on Kynlin: Never heard of it.

Nation Name: The Democratic Syndicates of Threlizdun
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs: None
Type of Government: Social Anarchy
Religion: No official religion, freedom of religion

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Completely acceptable, any number of consenting individuals of any gender may marry
Illegal Immigration: We'll essentially let anyone in aside from those that have commited what would be a major crime in our nation, so if you can't meet that criteria, then you've obviously done some rather terrrible things in your life
Abortion: Pro-choice
Welfare and social security: We practice syndicalist communism merged with elements of participatory economics and a gift economy. Our production levels have led to a massive surplus of resources from the automization of our factories, so redistribution of wealth has never caused any major issues.
Healthcare: Free, high-quality healthcare is provided to all
Education: Free, high-quality education is provided to all
Death Penalty: Outlawed
Free Speech: As long as you do not consantly taunt others to the point of it becoming verbal abuse, you are free to say whatever you wish
Environmentalism: Strongly supportive
Conservatism: Supporting something simply because it is traditional is foolish. Humanity must observe the logic behind everything. If it is outdated, it is to be adapted or removed.
Liberalism: You must always seek to advance society and question the social norms. Even that which we currently hold dearly should be questioned.
Anarchy: It is ultimate freedom, and something we strongly support
Socialism: We support democratic socialism, but despise the Leninist branches.
Communism: True stateless communism we support, however authoritarian "communism" is despised
Monarchy: We cannot understand why anyone would put power into another's hand because they were born into a certain family. However, as long as it is a constitutional monarchy we will accept it.
Authoritarianism: Horrendous
Democracy: The only legitimate way to make decisions
Republic: Republic in the sense of a constitutional republic and representative democracy? We support such societies, even though we prefer direct democracy as found in anarchism. If you mean republic as in the rigid system of social hierarchies as propsed by Plato, then no, we do not support it.
Religion in general: We have full religious freedom. If you want an answer to this question, ask individual members of our society, and you will get different answers.
Islam: It's the fastest growing religion in our nation right now due to immigration, though it is the second fastest growing religious philosophy
Christianity: We have a fairly sizable amount of Christians
Hinduism: It is fair to say that the native form of pantheism that makes up the largest percentage of our population has many similarities to Hinduism. We have a few individuals that practice Hinduism.
Buddhism: The Buddhist population is on a rise right now
Paganism: Some may refer to the native pantheist beliefs as pagan, though it depends on the individual. Overall, paganism makes up a decent percentage of the population
Atheism: Atheism is the fastest growing religious ideology in Threlizdun right now, though the still do not make up the majority by any means
Opinion on Kynlin: You seem to have quite a few restrictions on personal freedoms and don't pay much attention to the needs of your citizens, though other than that we would need to know more about you.

Nation Name: The Radiatian Federation
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs:
United Democrats: (Incumbent) - Centrism
The Workers Party: - Democratic Socialism
The Conservative Party: - Freemarket Capitalism plus social conservatism
The Communist Party: - No prizes for guessing what they're into...
The Radiatian Destiny Party: - Fascism

Type of Government: Federal Parliamentary Republic
Religion: Secular

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Legal in all states
Illegal Immigration: Absolutely illegal, punishable by deportation or enslavement
Abortion: Legal in most states, however it is most common for either the state or the man to decide whether or not to abort, rather than the woman.
Welfare and social security: Radiatia is a welfare state
Healthcare: All Radiatians have free healthcare courtesy of the FHS (Federal Health Service)
Education: Radiatians must meet the Federal Standard (ie being able to read, write, count and think critically enough to form an opinion), however state governments decide. Some states, such as Alayenia have an excellent education system, others such as Polaris pretty much teach you how to go ice-fishing and that's it.
Death Penalty: Legal in every state except Radia and Alayenia.
Free Speech: Radiatians have freedom of information and to share facts, however freedom of speech is not allowed to turn into hate speech
Environmentalism: Radiatia has a pretty shoddy environmental record, all things considered. (But we are predominantly desert so it doesn't really bother us.)
Conservatism: Radiatians will never value the family or the so-called "good old days", however they do tend to be distrustful of new ideas
Liberalism: Liberalism is often seen as "inefficient" and detached from reality
Anarchy: Radiatians love authority too much to even consider anarchy
Socialism: Most Radiatians are pro-socialist in one way or another
Communism: Polarises the country as we used to be communist. Half of people passionately hate it, the other half loved it.
Monarchy: Neutral to it, see very little difference between it and the communist dictatorship they used to live under
Authoritarianism: They seem to like it, most people seem to find freedom frightening
Democracy: It is popular but a lot of people are frightened by it as Radiatians are not used to having political freedom, given their history
Republic: Few Radiatians today know what it means but most see republicanism as a good thing, simply because they've been told it is
Religion in general: Radiatians do not care for religion, some see it as a mental illness but most will not judge
Islam: Virtually unheard of
Christianity: It is practised in Radiatia but creationism, too much street preaching and any sexist or homophobic views are banned
Hinduism: No opinion
Buddhism: No opinion, widely practised
Paganism: Widely practised especially by nomadic tribes, no opinion
Atheism: The most common belief in Radiatia
Opinion on Kynlin: Most Radiatians are unaware of the world any further away than the end of their street and as such have no knowledge or opinion on Kynlin

Education: Highly prized and required. Often at the age of 13, boys and girls are allowed to join the Vamperial Order Academy which serves the military as well as civilian aspects

Death Penalty: Only used with treason

Free Speech: Allowed

Environmentalism: Doesn’t exist since the monarchy actually takes care of the environment

Conservatism: Exists in order to preserve all five ways of life style with Lynscertian being the dominant life style. Only Vamperial culture exists.

Liberalism: Exists in economics.

Anarchy: Doesn’t exist and is frown upon by the public in general

Socialism: Hates it

Communism: Hates it

Monarchy: The public loves the benevolent Vamperial Monarch since it puts the public first

Authoritarianism: The Monarch isn’t total authority since it has two other sections that help with the public. The Arbiters that listen to the public and the Vamperial

Order that protects the public.

Democracy: Semi-exists but generally the Vamperial Kingdom encourages others to be democratic.

Republic: Public doesn’t want it and the Monarch doesn’t think about it

Religion in general: Only a selected few are accepted due to the Vamperal Treaty in 1001 AD

Islam: Looked down upon not recognised and frown upon since the failed revolt in 2005 which resulted in Islam being banned from the Vamperial Kingdom.

Christianity: Accepted since they often keep their distance between themselves, the Monarch, Lynscertian Way of Life and the Order.

Hinduism: Not recongised and banned

Buddhism: A tiny minority found in the Enclave Colony and left alone since it doesn’t pose any threat.

Paganism: Frown upon and not recongised

Atheism: Accepted since it poses little threat to the Order and the Monarch and also some of the brilliant commanders are in fact atheists.

Opinion on Kynlin: None since no diplomats have being exchanged.
"Indeed" Merlin replied, remaining in shadow "Emotions give people more power than they could possibly image. Emotions can turn the tide of battles with a single heroic act, help beat back even the strongest enemy. Emotions are what keeps us going in our hour of need. Hope, and trust in our friends. What Rathma did, he did because he had emotions, not because he had a lack of them"

Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs:

Motherland Party: Center-right

Christian Democratic Party: Center-left on economic issues, right of center on social issues

Liberal Democratic Party: Center right on economic issues, left of center on social issues

Social Democratic Party: Moderately leftist, currently in an electorial coalition with the Green Party

Green Party: Leftist, with an emphasis on environmental issues. Currently in an electorial coalition with the Social Democrates

Christian Socialist Party: Leftist on religious principle.

Socialist Workers Party: Far left, very small

Party of Slavic Unity: Small, far right party which seeks greater ties to Russia and other Slavic countries

Type of Government: Federal Constitutional Monarchy

Religion:

Eastern Orthodox Christianity (approximately 70% of population), the official religion of the royal court, though the rest of the government is basically secular

Protestantism (approximately 15% of the population) mainly split between the Presbyterian Church, and the United Evangelical church of Beringovia

Most of the rest of the population is religiously unaffiliated, though there are small communities of Roman Catholics, Jews, Muslims and Buddists, among others.

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage:
There is no great public support for recognizing it. If a gay couple moves in with each other and holds themselves out as husband and husband, or wife and wife that's fine, but they aren't legally recognized as married.
Illegal Immigration: Illiegal immigration is illegal, and grounds for deportation. Most Beringovians have a positive attitude towards legal immigrants.
Abortion: Only legal in cases of rape, incest, or "medical necessity." The medical necessity exception tends to be broadly applied.
Welfare and social security: There is little support for a European-style welfare state, though most Beringovians recognize that some sort of social saftey net is necessary.
Healthcare: Citizens are required to maintain health insurance, though they may choose from a variety of plans.
Education: A strong education system is considered essential to a modern society. For historical reasons, most schools are run by churches and religious groups, though they are publically financed through a voucer system administered at the provencial level.
Death Penalty: Considered more trouble than it is worth. Most criminals would consider life in a Beringovian prison camp to be a fate worse than death anyway.
Free Speech: Considered essential to a free and democratic society.
Environmentalism: A balance needs to be struck between economic developoment and protecting the natural environment.
Conservatism: American-style conservatism (meaning social conservatism combined with economic libertarianism) is the dominant political philosophy in Beringovia today
Liberalism: Beringovia's political culture is strongly influenced by the classical liberal tradition.
Anarchy: Viewed as totally incompatable with any sort of civilized society
Socialism: Generally viewed negatively, tough a minority of citizens are moderate socialists.
Communism: For historical reasons most Beringovians are strongly anti-communist. (The nation was founded by Russian monarchists who sought political refuge following the Russian Revolution.)
Monarchy: The Beringovian monarchy is quite popular, and viewed as an important part of our heritage.
Authoritarianism: Viewed negatively
Democracy: Viewed positively
Republic: Considered a perfectly respectable way of organizing a state
Religion in general: Viewed positively
Islam: Followed by only a tiny fraction of the population. There is some anti-islamic sentiment, though most Beringovians profess to be tolerant of moderate Islam.
Christianity: Followed by a majority of the population, and considered an important part of Beringovia's heritage.
Hinduism: Not followed by a significant number of Beringovians. Most Beringovians are tolerant of Hinduism, but don't know much about it.
Buddhism: Ditto
Paganism: There is a somewhat widespread perception that equates it to "devil worship."
Atheism: In general, atheists are tolerated, though militant atheists who like to demonize Christianity and religion in general tend to be disliked.
Opinion on Kynlin: Don't have enough information to form an opinion.

Kynlin sees your nation as being a lesser extreme of our own. Your nation is one of few that Kynlin can approve of.

I support free-market capitalism, American Conservatism, The Tea Party, Libertarianism, and the GOP

Nation Name: The Commonwealth of Novariea
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs: N/A. There are no political parties in Novariea.
Type of Government: Unitary Autocracy/Benevolent Dictatorship
Religion: N/A. Novariea has no official or state religion. Government is entirely secular and the vast majority of citizens are atheist, agnostic, or otherwise irreligious.

Your nations opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Entirely legal and without taboo.
Illegal Immigration: Depends on the reason for it, though we don't see why they wouldn't just apply for legal immigration. Our requirements for it aren't particularly taxing.
Abortion: Legal and entirely the mother's decision.
Welfare and social security: Necessary institutions in any government that claims to care for its people.
Healthcare: We have a comprehensive and well-funded public healthcare service. Private care is also readily available for those who can afford it and desire it.
Education: One of the top priorities of the government. State-funded schools are generally excellently staffed and equipped, as are further education institutions such as colleges and universities. Private education also exists for those that can afford and desire it.
Death Penalty: It exists in Novariea, but only for the most heinous crimes (mass murder/rape, terrorism, high treason etc)
Free Speech: Of vital importance.
Environmentalism: Not one of the government's top priorities, but we attempt to prevent any undue harm to the environment, and applaud efforts to conserve and maintain it as long as they do not interfere too much with other endeavors.
Conservatism: Disliked, especially for the social aspects of it.
Liberalism: Generally well-liked. Novarieans are generally quite liberal, especially socially.
Anarchy: A ridiculous and potentially dangerous ideology.
Socialism: Fine to an extent.
Communism: A flawed and unworkable ideology.
Monarchy: Acceptable if the ruler is just, but we much prefer systems that do not select the ruler based on mere blood rather than competence and leadership ability.
Authoritarianism: Excellent, if the ruler is just and respects the freedoms of the people.
Democracy: Acceptable, but an inefficient method of running a nation.
Republic: See above.
Religion in general: Regarded as an oddity by most Novarieans, who tend to think of religious people as a bit eccentric. They don't overly mind it as long as beliefs are not shoved in other people's faces or used to discriminate against them.
Islam: See above.
Christianity: See above.
Hinduism: See above.
Buddhism: See above.
Paganism: See above.
Atheism: The stance of the vast majority of Novarieans, who are generally a skeptical and rational lot.

Liberalism: Most of our population is very liberal
Anarchy: Some anarchists on both the left and right. The socialist union was largely inspired by left-anarchist ideas. Most citizens don't go that far but we have freedom of speech
Socialism: Our government is somewhat socialist (similar to Sweden) though we are centrist due to recent WA resolution

Kynlin wrote:Give this info on your nation and give your nations opinions on these political/social issues. Fill it out dont tell me to look at your factbook. Im not taking the 5 minutes required to read it.


Your loss.

Nation Name: The Allied States of Inutoland
Current political parties in your nation and their beliefs: There are at least three dozen. Some of the main ones include:
-Conservative Alliance (Traditionalist, slightly authoritarian, mild socialism combined with laissez-faire social policy)
-Red Party (Decentralising socialist)
-National Democratic League (Pro-democracy, pro-egalitarianism, pro-capitalism)
-Freedom Party (Protectionist and isolationist)
-White Turtle Party (Pro-engagement with the world, free trade, Capitalism)
-Blue Orchid Front (Centralising moderate nationalist)
Type of Government: Confederation of parliamentary elected-monarchy states
Religion: Saweya, the traditional polytheistic faith of Inutoland is the dominant religion. We have no "national religion" and practice religious toleration.

Your nation's opinion on...
Gay Marriage: Homosexuality has always been legal in Inutoland, and some of the cults of our various deities encourage transgenderedness or gender-neutrality. However, there has been little social pressure to legalise homosexual marriage, and it remains unrecognised.
Illegal Immigration: Illegal immigration is against the law (see "illegal") and subject to arrest and deportation. However, the legal immigration route is straightforward enough that it doesn't become an engine driving illegal immigration.
Abortion: For medical reasons, not for convenience.
Welfare and social security: Reasonable safety net, hopefully without creating a permanently dependent underclass.
Healthcare: The Health System is in the hands of the Nine States' respective govenments. Each is organised a little differently, but we generally have what most would call a "National Health Service".
Education: Our government's main priority.
Death Penalty: For multiple or particularly gruesome or callous single murders.
Free Speech: The cornerstone of democracy.
Environmentalism: Overall, a Good Thing. However, if we need to kill an animal to save a human, we'll do it every time.
Conservatism: This tends to mean "traditionalism" in Inutoland. Western-style Conservatism doesn't exist in a single party.
Liberalism: The whole Liberal vs Conservative spectrum is unhelpful for dealing with Inutolander politics.
Anarchy: Actual anarchy is dangerous. There must be government of some form to restrain evil, otherwise you get a tyranny of the strong preying on the weak.
Socialism: Some socialism is a good thing, but it shouldn't be taken too far.
Communism: It's a nice-looking theory, but every actual example we've seen seems to dissolve inevitably into dictatorship.
Monarchy: We have a monarchy of sorts, though by the traditions of our people the monarch is elected from among the eligible (usually noble) candidates.
Authoritarianism: Usually a bad idea. Even if your current authoritarian government is good, who is to say their successors will be?
Democracy: The will of the people is the ultimate source of sovereignty.
Republic: We find the term "Republic" to be meaningless, as it encompasses everything from totalitarian dictatorships to federal democracies.
Religion in general: A good thing in general, but should not be used as a shield for reprehensible behaviour, nor should any one religion be elevated to the place of rulership. Our laws enshrine freedom of religion, so long as your freedom does not impinge on another's. Reasoned debate and persuasion are acceptable for attempting to convert someone. Financial incentives and coercion are not.
Islam: In general, we don't much like Islam, though there are a few Muslims here. They have the same rights and obligations as anyone else.
Christianity: Likewise, though we have more Christians than Muslims and they've been here longer. Monotheists can be looked down on by some of the more devoted followers of our gods.
Hinduism: The philosophy of higher Hinduism is a bit alien, and the caste system is something we see as untenable.
Buddhism: We think that the idea that "all suffering is the result of desire", on which Buddhism rests, is mistaken. How is the suffering of someone trafficked into slavery the result of their desire?
Paganism: We're pagans, for the most part.
Atheism: You're free to be an atheist, but we consider atheism (in the sense of the denial of any spiritual reality, i.e. materialism) to be a denial of What Is, and therefore stupid.
Opinion on Kynlin: We have yet to form one. As we see your responses to other nations, we will make our judgement.

Feel free to add any extra topics...

Well, maybe some notes. Inutoland has three separate species of human who are all equal before the law. We dislike slavery, and our law frees and grants automatic citizenship to any slave who enters our territory. And we're generally quite isolationist.
