Representative Democracy: Beringovia is a representative democracy.

Monarchy: Beringovia is a Monarchy.

Absolute: Not looked favorably upon
Constitutional: We are one. The Tsars powers are severly circumscribed, though he is not a mere figurehead.

Oligarchy: Not looked favorably upon.
Republicanism: Although a Monarchy, Beringovia respects the traditions of countries which have a republican heritage. Though the monarchy is popular, a minority of Berinovians favor the establishment of a republic.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Fascism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Anarchism: Looked upon very unfavorably, except by certain overly-idealistic college freshmen.

Anarcho-Capitalism: The "Anarcho" part at least is looked upon unfavorably.
Anarcho-Mutualism: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Anarcho-Communism: All forms of communism looked upon very unfavorably, since Beringovia was founded as a refuge for opponents of the Bolseviks.

Socialist Vanguard State: Looked upon very unfavorably.
Theocracy: Generaly looked upon unfavorably. Though the Orthodox Church is the official religion of the Royal court, the rest of the state is run on basically secular terms.
Secularism: Generaly looked upon favorably, as long as it isn't perceived as hostle to religion.
Authoritarianism: Looked upon unfavorably.
Libertarianism: Looked upon favorably by a certain segment of the population, though a majority would say that libertarians put too much emphasis on limited government.
Conservatism: American-style conservatism (i.e. social conservatism combined with economic liberalism) is generaly looked upon favorably.
Progressivism: Considered a respectable political position, but not one held by the majority.
Militarism: Most Beringovian's are against militarism in principle, but recognize that a strong military may be necessary in the world we live in.
Pacifism: Generally perceived as being an overly idealistic and unrealistic position. There is a strong pacifist strain among certain religious minorities, and these are generally tolerated.
Nationalism: Perceived positively to the extent that it is not disrepectful of other nations. Beringovians also respect the right of citizens of other countiries to be proud of their nations.
Internationalism: Depending upon how it is defined it can be perceived positively, as with nations cooperating to meet common problems, or negatively, as a threat to national soverignty.
Individualism: Generally perceived positively. Beringovians tend to perceive themselves as very individualistic, though this has to be balanced against the common good.
Collectivism: See above. Forced collectivism, at least, is perceived negatively.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: Perceived positively, if only because it is perceived as the opposite of communism.
Communism: Anti-communism is deeply rooted in Beringovia's national identity because it was founded as a refuge for White Russians and other anti-bolsheviks following the Russian revolution. However, since the end of the cold war it has become fashionable to keep a few communists around as a source of amusement.
Socialism: Generally viewed negatively
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: Free market economics are generally viewed positively, but most Berinogians recognize that some degree of government involvement in the economy is necessary.
Mixed Market/Third Way Economics: Generally viewed negatively as "socialism lite," but not as negatively as full-blown socialism.
Centrally Planned/Controlled Economics: Generally viewed very negatively.
Gift Economics: Generally viewed as not a realistic basis for an economic system
Traditional/Primitive Economics: Some indiginous peoples practice traditional lifestyles, and their right to do so is generally respected.
Agrarianism: For the most part, the geography of Beringovia is not well suited to widespread agriculture. However, there is a strong agricultural sector, centered on family farms in the south-central region of the country.
Corporatism: Viewed positively, is long as it isn't perceived as a threat to personal freedom.
Welfarism: Beringovians consider themselves rugged individualists and generally take a dim view of public welfare, though most recognize that some sort of social saftey net is necessary.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Generally viewed negatively due to the infiltration of communists into trade unions early in Beringovia's history
Globalization: Generally viewed very positively.
Free Trade: Viewed positively. Beringovias economy relies heavily on the export of commodities, and we want to maintain markets to sell our products.
Fair Trade: Most Beringovians agree with fair trade in principle, in spite of the fact that its strongest supporters as are perceived as overly idealistic long-haired hippies.
Protectionism: Viewed negatively. Beringovia has relatively few domestic manufacuring industries to protect anyway.
Feudalism: Viewed as a historical anachronism by those who bother to think of it at all
Environmentalism: Most Beringovians believe that we must strike a balance between protection of the natural environment, and exploitation of our enormous natural resources for economic development. Just where that balance should be struck is currently a defining feature of Beringovian politics.
Consumerism: Most Beringovian's don't want to see themselves as crash consumerists, though to many outsiders that is what they are.
Racism: Currently viewed very negatively, though there is an unfortunate history of mistreatment of the countries indiginous population, and even now there are occasional allegations of discrimination.
Multiculturalism: Generally viewed positively. During the last couple of decades most Beringovians have embraced the idea that multiculturalism is a defining national characteristic.


Section 3: Social Policy & Freedoms: What is the Legal Status of the Following Social Issues? (Note: Elaboration on the social attitudes toward any these issues them can be found in the second questionnaire)

Private Property: protected under the law
Freedom of Speech: guaranteed by the constitution
Freedom of Association: guaranteed by the constitution
Gun Ownership: guaranteed by the constition "for normal sporting and self defense purposes." Possession by minors and convicted criminals is restricted.
Abortion: Technically illegal except in case of rape, incest or "medical necessessity." In practice the "medical necessity" exception is very broadly defined, and doctors are virtually never prosecuted for illegally certifying an abortion as "medically necessary."
Gay Marriage: Not legally recognized.
Alcohol: Drinking age is 18. Must be 21 to buy hard liquor for off-premisis consumption. Hard liquor is taxed and regulated much more severly then beer or wine. Local communities may ban the sale or even possession of alcohol within their borders. Virtually all communities which have done so have a predominantly indiginous population.
Tobacco: Legal but officially discouraged. Not Commonly used except by foreigners.
Drugs: Except for alcohol, tobacco and caffene recreational drugs are generally illegal.

Cannabis: Illegal
"Soft Drugs": Illegal
"Hard Drugs": Illegal

Censorship: The constitution prohibits government censorship except "to protect the moral welfare of minors." Thus criticism of the government is allowed, but depictions of sex and violence in the media is restricted.
Prostitution: Illegal. A recent change in public policy is to treat prostitutes as victims rather than criminals.
Slavery: Has never existed in Beringovia since it was founded as a nation, though historically native peoples were sometimes treated as slaves during the colonial period. The government is currently cracking down on all forms of human trafficking.
Age Of Consent: 16. Persons may not be prosecuted for statutory rape of an underage person if they come within the "close-in-age" exception. The close-in-age exception is 60 months if the underaged person is 14 or 15 years olds, 48 months if 12 or 13 years old, or 36 months for if under the age of 12. If the older party does not come within the close-in-age exception he can be charged with statory rape even if he is himself below the age of consent. Thus, a 15-year old can be charged with the statory rape of an 11-year old.
Freedom of Religion/Conscience: Freedom of religion and conscience is guaranteed by the Constituion. The only exception is that the Tsar, and any person in line to suceed to the throne, must be a member of the Orthodox Church.

Section 1: Arts & Society: What is your nations prominent views regarding the following: (Answer to your best ability.

How Does Your Nation View and Treat?

Artists: Generally well respected

Writers: Generally well respected
Intellectuals: Generally well respected, especially those who are perceived as not leaning too far to the left in their political views
Scientists: Generally well respected
Entrepreneurs: Generally very well respected
Industrialists: Generally well respected
Missionaries & Priests: Somewhat mixed. On the one hand historical missionaries are sometimes steriotyped as being heavy handed towars native peoples and disrespecting their culture. On the other hand it is perceived that they often advocated for the native peoples and protested the mistreatment of them. It is also well known that missions usually were the first to provide education and social services to the natives.
Foreigners: Generally well liked, especially American's and Canadians.

What Is Popular In Your Nation?(Note: By "Popular", We are asking what is the most popular form/genre/style in your nation. )

Gladiatorial Combat: Boxing and MMA enjoy a modest following
Popular Art: Somewhat popular
Modern Art: Somewhat popular
Traditional Art: Traditional native arts and crafts have become very popular

Popular Food: Traditionally very similar to Russian food, though in recent decades their have been American influences as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2: Ethics
How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: Definately not acceptable. If you know what our climate is like you wouldn't want to walk around outdoors in the nude anyway ("buuurrrrr...")
Public Displays of Affection: Modest desplays of affection (holding hands, stealing a quick kiss) wouldn't merit a second glance. Making out on a park bench would likely be perceived as obnoxous, but probably wouldn't get you arrested. Having sex in a public place would get you arrested.
Gambling: Not an important part of Beringovian culture. Most Beringovians prefer to keep their money. Commercial gambling is illegal.
Alcohol: An important part of Beringovian culture, especially vodka. Unfortunately, so is chronic alcoholism, though there are signs that this is gradually improving. In recent decades there has been a gradual decrease in total alcohol consumption along with a move away from vodka and towards beer and wine, especially beer. In part this is due to government policies designed to discourage hard liquor consumption, and in part it is due to the growing influence of American culture. However, vodka consumption remains greater than other parts of North America. Among the indiginous population there is a tragic history of social problems caused by the sudden introduction by Russian settlers of strong liquor into cultures which had never become accustomed to it. For this reason alcohol is generally perceived very negatively within native communities.
Drug Use: Viewed very negatively.
Partying: Beringovian's love to party! Ever been to a Beringovian wedding?
Gun Ownership: In parts of rural Beringovia it would be unusual not to own a gun, if only to protect ones self against the wildlife. Even in urban areas it is relatively common, especially since hunting is a popular pastime. Keep in mind that Beringovia is a very large, sparsely populated country, with very few large cities.
Homosexuality: Traditionally viewed negatively. Attitudes are gradually becomeing more accepting, but most Beringovians would still be uncomfortable with viewing public displays of affection by gay couples even if they profess not to care what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
Transsexualism: Regarded as weird
Pre-Marital Sex: Not considered socially acceptable, though most Beringovians are realistic enough to realize that it happens. For a Beringovian married couple, the first child can come at any time, after that they take nine months.
Family: Viewed as the rock-solid bedrock of Berinovian society.
Marriage: Veiwed very positivley, and as the only valid basis for a family.
Prostitution: Viewed very negatively
Charity: Viewed very positively
Competition: A certain degree of competition is considered healty for society, though you can have too much.
Cooperation: Considered healty. Beringovians believe that a healthy society maintains a balance between competition and cooperation, rather than falling entirely on one side or the other.
Privacy: Valued very highly
Intolerance: Generally viewed negatively, though there is still a great deal of intolerance towards what is perceived non-traditional lifestlyes.
Feminism: Most Beringovians support equal social and political rights for men and women, though radical feminism is often negatively perceived as denying the innate differences between men and women.
Racism: Generally viewed negatively
Honour: Generaly viewed positively. Beringovians like to believe that that they have a strong sense of national and personal honor.
Chivalry: Generally viewed positively
Social Darwinism: Generally viewed negatively
Religion: Generally viewed positiveily, and considered an important part of Beringovian culture
Spirituality: Generally viewed positively
Altruism: Generally viewed very positively
Selfishness: Generally viewed very negatively
Friendship: Generally viewed positively
Magic: Most Beringovians don't believe in magic

The United Imperial Republic of Chazicaria

Being a imperial republic is in itself a rather confusing thing and leaves one wondering if Chazicaria is a proper nation or another mob ruled territory waiting to get liberated by the forces of righteousness, however so can I bring you happy news my dear reader as Chazicaria is not a mere republic* but rather a constitutional monarchy based on the former remnants of yankland** and as you my dear reader can understand so are the land in utter disarray as politicians are fighting for power and their emperor are not given his position by birth and divine right but rather chosen by the previous emperor which as you my dear reader can understand is no where near as great and glorious as our own proper system is.
* as they lack a president and are ruled by a emperor, why they have "republic" in their official title however is something that makes educated men scratch their heads but it simply proves that foreigners are a silly bunch of people.
** quite surprisingly as I do think that we have covered that nation and more pieces of it in this book before even if the current theory is that the land is torn apart and are claimed by the countless forces trying to carve out their own fiefdoms and empires within the former state.


The Sublime Island Kingdom of Astrolinium

While not much is known about Astrolinum so do we know that, that far of land is a proper monarchy ruled by their Rex Imperatorque Astrolinii as they call their king that rules over a small and insignificant island kingdom in the Mediterranean region of our blessed globe.


The United Communes of Fjeld

Being a lose collection of communes rather than a proper state so is Fjeld nothing that I would recommend any federal subject to visit as the people there are more loyal to their communes than to the state as a whole which have resulted in open warfare over trivial issues as their democratic leaderships have wished for one thing or another and then been voted out so that another man might continue the war with a different set of agendas and goals which as you my dear reader surely can understand makes the shifting wars between the different communes a rather confusing mess that even the different leaderships have trouble keeping track of.


The Republic of Drackonisa

Drackonisa is one of those tiresome territories that while not being a democratic mess with governments not being chosen by the people but rather being commoners that have managed to usurp all power from the noblemen that should have it which means that the state is run by power hungry mad men rather than a benevolent nobility that is chosen by blood and divine right which as you my dear reader surely can understand will lead to that leader wishing to have more and more power as he can never be happy with what he has been wrongfully given which will lead to mistreatment and oppression towards the commoners living in his regime, something which we can see is the case of Draconisa.

As if that was not enough my dear reader so can we also see that they have a horrible lower government system below their leader were the men are chosen for mere merit and have nothing more to back up their claims instead of being given to you what your blood entitles you to as we ourself lives in our blessed and holy federation.


The Republic of Hippostania

While once being a bright and warm kingdom* so is Hippostania today a mere republican territory where instead of having a leader given his right by birth and blood right so are he instead voted forward by the common mob, as you my dear reader can understand so does this produce a long string of charismatic but weak leader that see to their own interests instead of not being able to distinct your own interests from that of the state as our benevolent and beloved high king rules our own blessed federation.

This corruption and weakness is something that their own government indeed represent as their government is by a majority ruled by socialists which have left the country poor and the people starving while their socialistic government turns to other things such as the tyrannical prohibition of alcohol that cost even more of the diminishing money that the territory controls.
*In the extreme as the tropic climate in hippostania that sustain their hippopotamus population that the nation is named after is far too hot for a proper gentleman that is more used to the chilly and good climate a proper scanderan can enjoy.


The Cooperative Commonwealth of Conscentia

As a barbaric helhole so must one look far and wide to find something more decadent and hated by our right and proper ways as the people of Conscentia suffer collectively from a epidemic of socialism and even worse syndicalism which as you my dear reader can understand have not only left the population starving and in a state of poverty while they at the same time have also a large number of inferior species living in their nation, abandoned by their masters to try to fend for themselves instead of their human overlords stepping in and taking care of them as the natural order of things demand them to do.

This however is not a reason to hate such a pathetic and barbaric territory but rather so must we as civilized and better people realise that we must step in, by force if necessary to try to help the barbarians, to bring them the advantages of the Imerian high culture, to free their inferior species from their mistreatment and to cure the outbreak of socialism or at least contain it so that proper reactionary conservatism and federal royalism may take a hold in the populations hearts as they obviously does not understand better and to finally bring them a proper social hierarchy.


Kingdom of Beringovia

While Beringovia have some advantages and some almost civilized behaviours so are I and most certainly you my dear reader surprised to hear about their dislike of the proper and righteous form of monarchy, something especially surprising coming from Muscovites and Ruskies and their dislike for the proper feudal system also makes me a bit confused my dear reader and I am sure that you as me must have understanding that not all nations can match the glamour and the righteous and traditional way of government that our beloved federation* have build her foundation on.
* which is hardly surprising my dear reader as that is as you can surely understand impossible

As false as that might be considering you being all of the inferior species and evil beings so are you in luck as the absolute royal federation is no mere mortal nation but the burning light of civilization that one day will shine from one corner of the universe to the next.

I am neither good nor evil, I am a necessity of the omniverse, however your arrogance is pleasing, it confirms that despite its potential, Humanities incompetence and superiority complex shall be met with professionals in the galactic scale. I am also no species, I am not organic, I am not mechanical in any sense, I am the very being needed for neutrality, a demi god of power, I may have promised Humanity safety, but that only goes to earth, as for if your people reach the stars, then I shall show no mercy in your souls, so says Galactus.

How silly, you are either good or evil, you are not anything that would be described as good so you are a force of evil and must be destroyed.
And whatever you might be so are you not a human and as a result either something that must be taken care of as is our duty to the lower begins or a threat to the rest of the creation and something to be destroyed so if you are a demi-god or not is nothing we care about, we are the incarnations of the high spirits, we are the chosen of the gods, we are the greatest species to ever draw breath in all of creation so turn around and run, run as fast as it is possible for whatever your force might be so will we only be the end of you if you dare to challenge the chosen rulers of all in creation.

Gladiatorial Combat: very popular; the bloody Tournament of Justice where convicted criminals fight to the death is a hit on national television;
Popular Art: mostly romantic, epic and realist genres
Modern Art: considered degenerate, i.e., not considered an art at all
Traditional Art: considered the epitome of Marian art
Popular Fashion: mostly professional uniforms; outside work, a local variant of heavy metal/goth fashion has become popular among youth; generally, however, Marians are very modest and conservative about their dress;
Popular Food: native cuisine, foreign foods sold in specialty stores and restaurants as well
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 2: Ethics
How does your society feel about the following issues?

Public Nudity: taboo and illegal
Public Displays of Affection: legal but somewhat taboo; anything beyond holding hands will earn you disapproving looks from the older citizens;
Gambling: legal but somewhat taboo;
Alcohol: perfectly fine in moderation; public drunkenness, however, is a misdemeanor and social taboo
Drug Use: illegal and punishable by death
Partying: perfectly fine as long as partygoers do not indulge in excesses typical of outsiders
Gun Ownership: the most sacred privilege of every citizen; if you think stealing a cub from a mother bear is dangerous, try taking away a Marian's guns;
Homosexuality: vile and disgusting outsider perversion
Transsexualism: even more vile and disgusting outsider perversion
Pre-Marital Sex: somewhat taboo, but tolerated; if a pregnancy results, shotgun weddings aren't uncommon;
Family: the cornerstone of Marian society
Marriage: cornerstone of Marian society - you can't form a family without marriage, right?
Prostitution: legal but viewed as degrading
Charity: neutral; Marians only feel obliged to help those, whose poverty is no fault of their own;
Competition: positive, as long as it's not detrimental to common good
Cooperation: positive; leaves some room for competition too
Privacy: not very important; a honest citizen has nothing to hide anyway
Intolerance: a cornerstone of Marian society;
Feminism: Dangerous outsider nonsense - since some of our good women got this idea in their heads, the sales of wife-beating sticks have skyrocketed! Overall, however, Marian women are perfectly satisfied with things as they are.
Racism: Hell yeah! It's actually somewhat a pity that we expelled all outsiders in 1948, so now we have nobody left to discriminate.
Honour: cornerstone of Marian society
Chivalry: considered part of being honourable; a Marian is not obliged to be chivalrous towards an outsider unless that outsider has shown to be worthy of it;
Social Darwinism: our way of thinking
Religion: Marians these days aren't very religious
Spirituality: considered a private thing; most have better things to care about than their souls;
Altruism: positive
Selfishness: somewhat negative
Friendship: positive
Magic: while not dismissing the possibility of the supernatural entirely, most Marians don't concern themselves with scientifically-unproven concepts;

As it appears, you must have been
A: Sterilized to extinction due to imperfections
B: Sampled for changes to rid any imperfect genes or ideals
C; a mix of A and B
thus your existence from Universe 434 is no more.

OOC: In universe 334 your alive but there is no Non Human crap, heck I follow the Multiverse ideals, everyone has opposites or somethign close to themselves, I would never RP them but I would act as they exist.

P.S: did you know that the Multiverse Theory has a possibility that everything here could be true and is being a some sort of copy to ones mind? scary, Star Wars, Borg, Marvel Zombies, all that could be real in another reality.

Postby Arda Tuluva » Tue Jul 19, 2011 6:57 pm

Nation Title: Arda Tuluvan Empire (Tára Arda Tuluvawa Nórë)
Form of Government: Enlightened Despotism
National Leader(s): Inglor Anordradil, Consul of State. The Ancalimë Emperor, sovereign.
Political Orientation: Single-party Socialist authoritative state with a monarchy
Economic Orientation: Socialist planned state economy with slight capitalist tendencies

Politics and Governance:
(Arda Tuluva’s predominant view on the following)

Section 1. Political Philosophy:

Democracy: Only members of the Marduuk Party may vote or participate in government.
Representative Democracy: None.
Direct Democracy: The city of Nindelos used to have a direct democracy. Unlike other regions in the Empire, Party Members of Nindelos all participate directly in city affairs. Governed by a Triarchy, three leaders known as Triarchs or Triumvirs (in Quenya Nelcáno, literally “Three rulers”) who are elected every year.
Monarchy: Arda Tuluva holds strong their ancient custom of Dynastic rule of Emperors, in modern times the Emperor is more ceremonial, though wields considerable amount of influence.
Oligarchy: Some Houses have considerable influence and power in certain provinces.
Republicanism: Arda Tuluva disagrees with the political ideology encompassing a Republic.
Dictatorship/Totalitarianism: Marduuk control over the government is highly totalitarian. Technically a condemned political ideals, though in practice the Marduuk Party displays many authoritarian tendencies.
Fascism: Not tolerated by the Marduuk.
Anarchism: A condemned ideology, “Heaven has order so must man.”
Anarcho-Capitalism: Capitalism and anarchy are condemned as evil by the Faith and the State.
Anarcho-Mutualism: Condemned as another corrupt Anarchist economic theory.
Anarcho-Communism: Anarchy is a condemned ideology. Communism teaches the destruction of the classes, the monarchy, and the faith, therefore declared a condemned ideology.
Socialist Vanguard State: Arda Tuluva approves of socialism as their faith teaches to help the poor and unfortunate. The State looks down upon other nations that do not help their citizens by providing free and comprehensive heath access, higher education, welfare and social equality. Nations with a high rate of division between the wealthy and the poor are looked on with contempt. Poverty disturbs Arda Tuluva, nations with poverty are seen as “uncultured”, “barbaric”, “uncivilized”, “backward” in the eyes of the Empire. It is known that social harmony is the key for any civilization to service in prosperity.
Theocracy: As a national form of government it is condemned. No religion should lead the State, only advise and counsel.
Secularism: The Marduuk support a minimal integration of the Faith and the State.
Authoritarianism: The Marduuk support a strong authoritative government. Only those who study political, diplomatic, economic, and social philosophies are qualified to run for government or be allowed to vote. It is believed by the Marduuk that uneducated, uninformed, and/or apathetic citizens have no business debating or entering politics. Hence, that is why only members of the Party are allowed the privilege.
Libertarianism: As Libertarian philosophy advocated small government. A principal Marduuk ideology is a strong, powerful, central government.
Conservatism: The Marduuk Party does not advocate the conservative view of their predecessors.
Progressivism: The Marduuk believe in the progression of science, industry, and government.
Militarism: A strong defense force is needed to ensure the safety and security of the Empire. As it is required for every citizen to undergo basic training and give their due to the Empire. After secondary education each citizen is required two years of service.
Pacifism: Though, Arda Tuluva boast a well trained, well armored military their main goal is maintaining peace. As they official motto of the Empire is “By Reason or By Sword”, it is the Empire’s goal to use diplomacy first and foremost.
Nationalism: Loyalty, obedience, and devotion are the tenants each citizen should live by. Culture, beauty, and affection are also important concepts. Arda Tuluvans are fiercely patriotic to their homelands and are taught in school to be zealous in ones love for Arda Tuluva.
Internationalism: Arda Tuluva has maintained a long tradition of neutrality and isolationism. Recently, however, they have begun to open their borders to grant more travel visas to foreigners. Many believe this to be a doom for the Empire, while others are open and excited.
Individualism: The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. The Family is the most important, then the State, then your fellow citizens, then oneself. Though it is strange to think what the government will do to ensure the happiness, health, and education of each individual citizen.
Collectivism: The group is more important than the individual. Unity, cooperation, and harmony is at the heart of society. Always for the greater good.


Section 2. Economic Philosophy:

Capitalism: Condemned as evil, for it is believed this economic police will only destroy lives, the environment and corrupts the soul.
Communism: The economic philosophy teaches the abolishment of the classes. The Marduuk believe there is a hierarchy in Heaven; therefore there must be one on earth.
Socialism: The official economic policy of the State.
Free Market/Laissez-Faire Economics: The Marduuk condemns the free market system.

Agrarianism: For rural areas of the Empire, the Marduuk practice a strong sense of Agrarianism.
Corporatism: All major corporations are owned by the State. Small business are highly regulated by the State, but may be owned by an individual.
Welfarism: “Social solidarity” is the term the Marduuk use to describe their welfare programs. It is the duty of the State to care for its citizens. Welfare is of high concern to the Empire. All citizens should have access to running water, electricity, Wi-Fi, food, lodgings, and support from their government.
Syndicalism (Trade Unionism): Trade Unions do not exist within the State as there is no need. Workers’ rights have been the vanguard of Marduuk policy for decades. Ancient guilds of certain crafts exists within the Empire.
Globalization: The Marduuk believe that if globalization continues unabated as it has it will lead to the doom of civilization, as globalization exploits impoverished nations and large groups to gain wealth for the few or the individual.
Free Trade: Free Trade is product of globalization, therefore condemned. Though, often used by Arda Tuluva in international trade.
Fair Trade: Arda Tuluva practices Fair Trade.
Protectionism: Arda Tuluva issues tariffs on imported products.
Feudalism: Feudalism has not been practiced in Arda Tuluva in centuries.
Environmentalism: The earth brings life and maintains us, without it we are doomed. The environment is an important priority for the Empire.
Consumerism: Consumerism is another ideology crafted by capitalists to entice the greedy. Greed is seen as unflattering and corrupt by the society as a whole. The common good is what is important, not the accumulation of objects and wealth by a single person.
