The Fifth Empire says: "Healthy body, healthy mind!"- And one of the most important aspects of the role of the State in the organization of society is through the physical expression of that age old wisdom that says that "it takes a village"- applied at the scale of the nation-organism as a whole. Maternity (and paternity!) leaves are generally considered a good sign that a country prioritizes the mental and physical well being of both the children and the parents, and that it recognizes that active policy is needed to ward away the short term interest of private capital, which will often discriminate against working women- as well as young men- discouraging them from pursuing parenthood in fear of falling behind on the professional rat-race.
These states are at the forefront of the region's collective effort to promote the health and fitness of each and every nation in the Empire, united by the ideals of strength & beauty!
