We are somewhere in the middle, while we strive to be sure our people think Individually and be creative and intelligent in their own right, we value collective actions highly, as only through unity of our civilzation can we promote advancements towards the greater good. Individuality comes into play with our colonies, in that each colony will usually have a seperate culture that has been given the rights to colonize that place. The individuality of each splinter culture we view as a necessary splinter to ensure the survival of the Mind Empire in the depths of space. I'rcon has its own culture, and so do planets like Hadith, Divine Wind, Dranokecia, and Baia among others, and also the worlds of our ally species, like the Gorgons, the Vran, and the Yo'Tar'Vul , each hosting a separate culture, but collectively acting towards the greater good of the Empire.

While during the old government we are more Individualistic, the new government is forcing collectivism into culture and society. The bad part is:

It's actually working.

Completely Individualist.

Although friends and family may converse and come together if they wish. For there is nothing to stop them from doing so.

And there are no laws infringing the freedom and interaction of any activity.

And we also agree with the statement made by Auzkhia.

Our nation is individualist because we believe in someone's freedom to think, speak, and act in a way he/she deems fit.
However, such individualism must be balanced with a sense of respect towards each others in order to create social stability.

I always got the impression that Ponyism (or Harmonism or whatever we are meant to call it these days) would naturally mandate and extremely collectivist culture.

We believe completely in this as well.

Although the latter is not seen only as disgraceful, it is also seen as immoral.

Our culture is traditionally very communal - from each according to his ability to each according to his need. The concept of individual "ownership" is virtually unknown. On the other hand, we have much broader individual rights than most capitalist nations.

Postby The Soodean Imperium » Sun Oct 20, 2013 12:30 pm

The Soodean Imperium is a Collectivist nation, emphasizing cooperation over competition. While part of this stems from the Socialist government's policies, it is actually deeply rooted in traditional Soodean culture, which teaches values such as honor, self-sacrifice, and loyalty. People are encouraged to take only what they need and give the rest to those who don't have enough, something seen as altruistic and efficient.

The State tolerates some individualism, in the sense that minority groups are given a respected place in society and citizens are allowed to own private property. But if you do something to benefit yourself at a cost to others, most Soodeans will think of you as selfish or untrustworthy. In that sense, collectivism in the Imperium is more of a cultural norm than an actual government policy.

Mallaska is fiercely an individualistic state. We believe in the ability for one to have choices in their life, and have a right not to be impeded by another individual. It is highly encouraged, however, to have respect for others and the choices of others. Family and friends are to be valued and held in high regard and respect. Having somebody interfere with your life is considered the highest of social offenses.

Well it's sort of a toss up. While this is an eastern nation with a certain emphasis on tribe and family, there is a strong individualistic element that encourages bold action, the pursuit of personal merit, and a general tendency toward social liberalism.

This pretty much. We are a collectivised State with ideals that stem from both our cultural traditions in addition to our Ba'athist Socialist, Qadhafist, Communist, Revolutionary Socialist, Nasserist, Theocratic-Socialist, Nationalist coalition ruled government's socio-economic policies. Whilst we do have some sense of individualism in the sense of respecting all the different cultures, religions, ethnicities in our nation, not to mention promote as well as respect them equally.

Nasserism, Khomeinism, Ba'athism, Qadhafism, Soekarnoism all basically do thus.

Whilst in Syria Theocratism alongside Marxism is not just about Islamic thought, it takes into account all the different religions of the nation. It is after all a land of co-existence. Only the insurgents pose a threat to this unique land.
