Objective Liberties Index

Postby Ermiopa » Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:26 pm

Ermiopa's government has authorized the creation of a Liberties by country index complete with a ranking. This ranking is built to be as objective as possible, while also being very simple, made up of primarily "Yes" and "No" questions. Please note that:

-The index is not entirely finished and still could be subject to change. The rankings will be unaffected and you only have to take the test once.
-You can suggest new questions to add onto the index in the comments below, along with everything else. I will end up coming across them in the course of grading the apps.
-You should answer EVERY question in the index. If not, I will have to determine what you would have answered by looking at your previous answers. It's not a big problem, but could affect your ranking.
-You can ask questions by TGing me. Don't post them in the comments, since it can clutter it up. (Especially since I'm already accepting suggestions through there)
-I might not be able to grade apps for a couple days every once in awhile due to life.
-If I end up placing numbers next to countries, rankings, etc, you can ignore that. It's part of the system I used to do this and I have to keep ahold of certain numbers while doing this. If the number is above 200, start panicking because I did something horribly wrong.

Looking for Co-Mods if anyone wants to help me grade these. Grading it is simple, but can be time consuming. TG me if you want to help.

Does it have mandatory Military service? If so, how many years?: No. All branches of the Petrokovian Armed Forces are voluntary. Likewise, there is no wartime draft (the logic being that if you need a draft, there is no morale for the war effort, and you will lose anyway).

Political Freedoms:
Is your nation a democracy?: Yes.
Is it a one-party(Maoist China), two-party (US), or multi-party state?(Australia)?: Non-Partisan (no parties).
Does its elections use First-past-the-post (US), Single Transferable Vote (Australia), Proportional Representation (UK), Alternative Vote (Ireland), Traditional Direct Democracy (Ancient Athens), or Edemocracy(No examples)?:
Each city has an elected leader, called the Provost. Every Provost in a district chooses their candidates for the leader of the District, called the Prorektor, and the people vote on who becomes the Prorektor. Each Prorektor chooses their candidates for the leader of their Oblast, called the Starosta, and the people vote on who becomes the Starosta. Each of these positions has executive power over their respective regions, but must adhere to the national executive (Premier) and legislation passed within their nation and locale. The Premier and Vice Premier have executive power over the entire nation, and are elected separately, by the people directly. The Premier then appoints his Cabinet Officials.

Paralleling the Executive Branch, each city has an elected legislative council, called the Zakonprovost, made of 1 person for every 1,000 people in the city, with a minimum of 5, in the case of towns smaller than 5,000 people. Each Zakonprovost chooses their delegates for the District council, called the Zakonprorektor. Each Zakonprorektor chooses their delegates for the Oblast council, called the Zakonstarosta. Each of these positions has legislative power over their respective regions, but must adhere to the national legislative committee, named the Soveshchaniye (commonly referred to as Sovesh or simply as Congress in common speech). The Soveshchaniye Officials in charge of the legislative branch are elected separately, by the people directly. (The closest equivalent to in the US to the Soveshchaniye would be Congress.)

All positions in the Judicial branch is entirely elected by the people. The level of power in the courts goes from City Court, to District Court, to Regional Court (Oblast Court), and then to the People's National Court (colloquially referred to as the Supreme Court).

Legislation is created by the Soveshchaniye (Legislative Branch), and checked for contradictions with the Deklaratsiya Osnovnykh Prav Cheloveka (lit. "Declaration of Basic Human Rights") by the Judicial Branch. It is then moved onto the Premier's desk for examination. If the Premier approves it, it becomes law. If the Premier vetoes it, then it is sent back to the Soveshchaniye. If it passes with a 70% majority on another vote, it is passed as a law. The Premier and all other executive officials must adhere to legislation passed by the nation and their locale.

Executive officials can be impeached if the legislative group votes 3/5 in favor of impeachment. The local court tries the impeachment case. If found guilty, the executive official will be removed from power. Executive officials will be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of high crimes or misdemeanors.
An example, for clarification: If a Prorektor is accused of a high crime or misdemeanor, the Zakonprorektor may take a vote for impeachment. If the vote passes with a 3/5 vote, then the Prorektor faces the District Court. If found guilty, they will be removed from power, and may face fines or jail time, dependent on the crime.

Is your nation a Unitary State (UK), Federation (US), or Confederation(Confederate States of America, Iroquois Confederacy)?: Federation.
Is gerrymandering, nonsecret ballots, or political harrassment legal?: No.
Does your government have the right to free speech? Yes.
Does it have right of thought?: Yes.
Does it have right of association?: Yes (however, all political parties are banned, but you can still state your views, such as "I'm a Communist," or "I'm a Conservative.")
Does it have state, censored, or independent and free press?: Free press.
Newspapers are still popular in Petrokovia. There are newspapers that are run by the city-such as the Krasnograd Times or the Rolangrad Intelligencer, which report mainly local and national news, but ones in larger cities may also have extensive international news articles as well. Each newspaper company sells two different papers that are bundled together-The Reportage Paper (Descriptive/unbiased/"just the facts") and the Analytique Paper (analytical/"shows the writer's perspective more"). This is to provide both unbiased information, and an analysis of that information, which can lead to more insight for the news.
There is also a National-level Reportage newspaper given out in all towns and cities, called the Petrokovian Times, and a National-level Analytique newspaper, called the People's Press. Both mainly focus on major national and international news.
News broadcasts on TV and the radio are also fairly common. The Petrokovian National News Network is on Channel 4, and the local news is always on channel 5, for every city and town in Petrokovia. On subways in cities, there are certain cars that have screens with the Petrokovian National News Network on for commuters' convenience. National News Stations on Petrokovia's radios are 87.5 AM, 120 FM1, and 103.7 FM2. AM radio is still the most popular radio in Petrokovia, and usually you can find a local news station broadcasting on AM radio.
Internet articles exist, and there are quite a few forums on the internet for news, but they aren't as popular as newspapers, mainly because smartphones and tablets aren't as popular in the USSP.
All news journals, magazines, newspapers, TV/radio channels, etc. are free to the public. Newspaper stands can be found in all bus stops, train and subway stations, airports, college campuses, city halls, and courtrooms in Petrokovia.
Due to recycling laws in Petrokovia, one must recycle newspapers once done reading, rather than throw them away. Recycling bins can be found next to any trash can, and sometimes can be found by themselves.

All media outlets in the USSP are funded in part by the government, and in part by donations. This removes the possibility of the government influencing the media using their funding, as the media could still function by using donation funds.

Does the populace have the right of petition?: Yes.
Does your government make use of referendums?: Yes.
Does your government recognize the right to self determination (Does it allow a state/district leave your nation?): Yes, but the process is very lengthy, and there must be a majority vote of 6/7th is each tier of the legislature in the district for separation, 3/4th of the executives within the district must approve it, and a referendum is called both district-wide and nationally. The district-wide vote must be 4/5 is favor of separation, and the national vote must be at least 1/3 in favor of the separation of the district. Separation is only final when all who want to remain in the USSP have moved.

Postby Imperium Sidhicum » Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:13 pm

General Info
Name of Country: Imperium of Sidhae
Government Type: monarchy/stratocracy

Civil Freedoms:
Is Serfdom or Feudalism in place?: no
Is it enforced by the government?: no
Is Slavery in Place?: yes; Only non-Sidhae may be enslaved. Slavery is not widespread, more of indentured servitude than true slavery.
Is it enforced by the government?: no; Holding non-Sidh slaves is legal but not encouraged
Are arranged marriages legal/used?: no; The institution of marriage itself has been abolished.
Is torture used/legal?: yes; Torture is common as a form of punishment within correctional institutions.
Is the Death Penalty used/legal?: technically yes; not widespread, used when more protracted punishments are impractical
Is Human Euthanasia used/legal? (With the consent/request of the patient): yes; mind that it's Sidh, not human, euthanasia
Is asisted suicide outside of medical establishments legal?: yes; killing a mortally-wounded Sidh at his own request is legal and considered merciful and good
Is Pornography legal?: yes, on the condition no Sidh participants are involved; Sidhae deem partaking in pornography disreputable
Is Gay Marriage Legal?: no; Neither is any other kind of marriage
Is Polygamy Legal?: see above
Is Abortion Legal?: Sidhae are cyborgs, who cannot get pregnant naturally. Abortion is therefore a non-issue
Is Marijuana use Descriminalized?: no; all forms of narcotics are strictly forbidden
Is Marijuana legal?: see above
Are Soft Recreational Drugs legal?: see above
Are Hard Recreational Drugs legal?: see above
Is Public Nudity legal?: no legal status; Why would anyone want to appear naked in public to begin with?
Are Public Public Sexual Displays legal?: no legal status; Not that anyone has tried in documented history...
Is Cannibalism legal?: no; Only a degenerate human could even consider legalizing something as disgusting!
Does your nation have Separation of Church and State?: Well, yes. Not that Sidhae have any Church to begin with.
Does your nation have a state religion?: Sidhae are irreligious, so no.
Does it enforce mandatory membership of the state religion?: see above.
Is a religion or multiple religions endorsed by the government outside of having a state religion?: Sidhae reject such obsolete superstitions in general.
Does your nation fund any sort of religion or religious organization?: see above
Does your nation have freedom of Religion?: see above
Does it enforce Freedom of Religion?: see above
Does your nation have freedom of Movement?: Citizens of the Imperium are free to travel between worlds without travel restrictions placed on them (military worlds, worlds in rebellion, etc.) Human residents are forbidden from leaving their ghettos without special permits.
Does it enforce it?: Yes, travel restrictions are strictly enforced
Does your nation have the Right to Bear Arms?: It's actually a requirement, not a right. Every Sidh must know at least the basics of personal combat and tactics. Most Sidhae don't own any personal weapons, however, due to a lack of necessity.
Is Education Mandatory?: Well, it kind of comes as a default. Every Sidh is manufactured complete with a standard educational data package.
If so, how many years of Education are required?: see above
Does your nation provide free primary and secondary education?: see above
Does it provide free tertiary education?: Yes, university-level education is free of charge, the only requirement being meeting aptitude test scores in the selected subject.
Does your nation require the ill to seek out traditional medicine?: If by "traditional" you mean hi-tech scientific medicine, then yes.
Does your nation provide free healthcare?: Yes; In a cyborg society, it's kind of a necessity.
If so, how expansive is the free healthcare system?: All citizens have access to a state-of-the-art healthcare.
What control of said arms (if any) does your nation have? (Does your nation have gun control?): "Gun control" in Sidh understanding revolves around restrictions on using certain types of firearms in populated areas; Technically, a citizen is free to own any kind of weapon including WMDs, restrictions applying to their use only.
Is it legal to own and use personal automobiles?: Yes; It is, however, discouraged and unnecessary, considering how most Sidhae live in compact arcology complexes where most travel can be accomplished by foot or public transportation.
Is it legal to use the internet? (Outside of Government Authorities): yes
Is said internet censored?: minimally; authorities make sure that inappropriate content is either omitted or provided with educational commentary
Are internet users monitered or spyed upon by government agencies?: yes
Are people spied on outside the internet by their government?: yes
Is immigration allowed?: given the current political situation, no; Imperium has been at war with it's neighbors for several centuries. Valuable defectors are, however, accepted.
Are immigrants and those of other ethnic groups treated equally?: Defectors who convert and become Sidhae are treated equally once their complete loyalty can be confirmed. Others are relegated to human ghettos.
Does the government enfore equal treatment of racial groups?: No. This is the Imperium of Sidhae - a nation of Sidhae for other Sidhae. Anyone else can be at best tolerated.
Does the government enfore equal treatment of women and sexual minorities (LGBTQ+)?: no; Sidh women are already treated as equals, and Sidhae suffering from homosexuality or other sexual deviances are free to seek treatment for their disorders with the free medical care available to all Sidhae.
Does it provide food stamps or an equivalent program?: no; The government ensures that even the lowliest Sidh has a reasonable living standard; Non-Sidhae must fend for themselves.
Does it provide free or affordable public housing or an equivalent program?: All Sidhae are entitled to some form of accomodation, the nature of which depends on their rank and standing.
Does it guarentee right to a fair trial to all of its citizens for all crimes?: Yes, a Sidh citizen is entitled to at least nominal trial.
Does it provide legal aid?: No; The Imperial law makes no such requirement
Does it allow detention without trial?: Yes
Does it allow life in prison?: Yes
Does it have private prisons?: No
Is its detention system focused towards work, rehabilitation, or punishment?: Work; criminals must repay their debt to society through hard labour
Does it have mandatory Military service? If so, how many years?: Yes; All citizens must register with the Auxilia and attend periodic training (usually 1 month per year); Professional military service is voluntary.

Political Freedoms:
Is your nation a democracy?: no; There are, however, democratic procedures in place for the election of various officials
Is it a one-party(Maoist China), two-party (US), or multi-party state?(Australia)?: Formally, any political parties are illegal in the Imperium; Citizens vote for people who represent the interests of the Imperium, not parties which represent particular interest groups.
Does its elections use First-past-the-post (US), Single Transferable Vote (Australia), Proportional Representation (UK), Alternative Vote (Ireland), Traditional Direct Democracy (Ancient Athens), or Edemocracy(No examples)?: Democratic procedures are electronic and direct, making the Sidh form of democracy a direct e-democracy
Is your nation a Unitary State (UK), Federation (US), or Confederation(Confederate States of America, Iroquois Confederacy)?: Unitary state within practicality. Due to sheer size of the Imperium, a certain degree of federalization is necessary.
Does it provide fair, free, and open elections?: The right to vote and be elected is restricted to those who have completed a minimum of 3 years service in the military.
Is gerrymandering, nonsecret ballots, or political harrassment legal?: Gerrymandering and harassing voters is illegal; votes, however, are non-secret
Does your government have the right to free speech?: Sure - within reason, of course; One thing is to express constructive criticism of the government, but expressing blatantly unpatriotic and un-Sidh sentiments is a whole different thing
Does it have right of thought?: Yes; certain thoughts are, of course, best kept quietly
Does it have right of association?: Yes; as long as it doesn't involve known traitors and outlaws
Does it have state, censored, or independent and free press?: All press is owned by the state
Does the populace have the right of petition?: Yes, and it is an approved form of bringing the concerns of citizenry to the government's attention
Does your government make use of referendums?: Occasionally.
Does your government recognize the right to self determination (Does it allow a state/district leave your nation?): No; the Imperium stands united and falls divided.
Freedom doesn't mean being able to do as one please, but rather not to do as one doesn't please.

A fool sees religion as the truth. A smart man sees religion as a lie. A ruler sees religion as a useful tool.

The more God in one's mouth, the less in one's heart.

HI! *waves furiously*
Yulis is a big nation of football-loving Socialists, metal-heads, and cat videos. In the way that American "left-wing extremists" are centre-right politicians to the rest of the world, Yulisian "right-wing extremists" are centre-left politicians to the rest of the world.

I'm a person, I live in New Zealand. If you wondered, I am probably laughing at your country right now, but I'll be crying fairly shortly. This stuff is great.
