Jews are abominations and must manage our money.

We envy Ralkovia's military though.

Hopefully lunch will be provided.
I prefer a fist sandwich. One in which the severed hands of your nation are used.

[Sunya]

What is your opinion of Ralkovia?

While the Empire is at odds with the libertine philosophies at the heart of Sunyan society, we are firm believers that the affairs of others are just that, the affairs of others

Would you find yourself as allies or enemies of Ralkovia?

Sunya does not officially enter into alliances with other nations, but we would be happy to enter into a treaty of mutual non-aggression and humanitarian assistance. Likewise, we do not make enemies of those who do not make enemies of us.

Would you conduct trade with Ralkovia?

We are happy to conduct honest business with anyone who is willing to do so.

What Policies of the Ralkovian Government would you be at odds with?

All of them. But, as stated earlier, this is not our concern.

What would your future relationship be with Ralkovia?

Peaceful and equal trading partners, if the Ralkovians are so inclined.

Policies You Want To Know More About or Plain Questions?

Is a society, feudal in nature, armed to the teeth, with more servants than masters, and ruled by an admittedly disturbed Emperor, not prone to internal conflict? Sunyan society is heavily armed, but this is part of our civilian militia system and is generally seen as a necessary evil to maintain our liberty. With all respect, we have a hard time comprehending how such a place can sustain itself for more than a handful of generations.

Religion and ethnic homogeneity is the main unifying feature of Ralkovia. At 89% of all Ralkovians believing in Ralkovian Messianic Judaism as well as a long time relationship between the Balkovians and Ralkovians, rebellion does not occur often. Also, only ethnic Ralkovians have firearms. The greatest problem occurs with slavery, upon which Ralkovia is divided 60% for/25% against/15% neutral.

Interesting. Would a few more questions around the slavery issue be alright?

What is the relationship between citizens and slaves, legal or otherwise? Are slaves seen as chattel or valuable property? In some societies, usually on a Sabbath, slaves are given a day to buy and sell of their own accord and it isn't uncommon for a slave to purchase their freedom from their masters.

There is no history of slavery per se in Sunya, as it is an island nation which was founded as part of a loose-knit corsair thalassocracy, hence it's devolved, confederal nature and tendency to laissez-faire non-interventionism. Many of our ancestors were rebel slaves, and there have always been good relations and a great deal of ethnic intermixing with the aboriginal population, so no allowances were ever made for even differentiating one class of person from another under law. There is indentured apprenticeship, even in modern times, but such contracts must be assessed by a judge to insure they are in compliance with applicable law.

Nearly 80% of all slaves are government own. Those that are government own receive no protection under the laws, since they are usually foreign born. Buying and selling slaves for citizens is heavily regulated since they follow the word of the torah.

Ethnic Intermixing is a sin and punished accordingly in Ralkovia. Most of our laws are based on ethnicity and the punishment for murder of someone inferior to your own status isn't taken very seriously compared to someone equal or higher than you. In fact most nobles can kill a slave and get away with it. On the other hand, if a slave kills a noble, that slave will receive an excruciating death.

[Arpeji]

What is your opinion of Ralkovia?
Violent, cold, bold, militaristic. Feels like Germany and Japan just before WWII.

Would you find yourself as allies or enemies of Ralkovia?
Neutral, unless we somehow share border (if we conquer the land near each other).
If we share border, where we can easily be enemy as tension can spark , say from your refugee, some racism toward Arpejian, or your expansionism.

Would you conduct trade with Ralkovia?
No, we are going to stay away from you, as racism can involve our citizen.

What Policies of the Ralkovian Government would you be at odds with?
None, we don't care about anyone policy as long anyone don't care too much about ours too.

What would your future relationship be with Ralkovia?
If sharing border, we can easily become enemy.
Otherwise it is just cold and don't care. We would like Non-aggression pact though.

Policies You Want To Know More About or Plain Questions?
Expansionism policy. This will define whether you are threat or not.

Interesting. One more question, of a theosophical nature, from our own Jewish community, as represented by the Rabbinic Council of the Sunyan Patriarchate:

Given that the Emperor is Mashiach in the Ralkovian tradition, how is this reconciled with the visions of the World, in which murder, robbery, competition, or jealousy are annihilate, and all people recognize YHWH, the LORD God of Israel, as the only true God, as prophesied by Isaiah, Micah, and Zechariah? How is this reconciled with the stratification of Ralkovian society?
