What is Belem's stance on health care and social welfare?
Belem
30-01-2004, 04:39
We are against any form of government handouts for social welfare. The only social welfare program we have is we hire unemployed people to dig ditches and build roads until they can find a better job.
Our stance on Healthcare is you should get a job where the benefits are health insurance the government is not supposed to give out handouts.

What is Belem's stance on the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the use of such weapons in tactical-scale scenarios.

What is Belem's stance on non-hunam species in general(feel free to highlight particular races).

1. Nothing wrong with building nuclear weapons every nation needs a defense against nuclear weapons. Belem itself has over 70 thousand nuclear weapons. Tactical Nukes are extremely usefull on the battlefield.

2. Non Humans are an affront to the world and should be destroyed. In Belem it is illegal for non humans to be married in any churchs in Belem and if a Human who attempts to marry a non human they will both be put to death.

Wait; you think they should be destroyed, but populations thereof continue to exist in your nation? This seems somewhat paradoxical, unless you are simply overstating your dislike for them.

The only population that could possibly exist in the nation are ones that stay huddled away in the foreign Quarters of Belem cities. They have no rights and it isnt considered a crime to kill one.

Ah; your specifying that it was illegal for them to marry was somewhat redundent and missleading.

Anyway, is this an internal issue, or something you proactivly export to other nations, either in propiganda or practice(please specify)?

As a young nation, we were for time under threat of annialation from those with opinions similar to those you seek to spread; tho over three centuries have passed sense that time, we have not forgotten.

How many ways can 'Extermination' be taken?

What is Belem's stance on the weaponization of space? That is, what is Belem's stance on space-based weapons (space warships, orbital artillery, satellite-based particle beam weapons, etc., not including spy satellites and satellites used for military navigation and or logistics).

Well you could also mean enslavement, destruction of there culture, removing all there political rights all forms of exteriminating one problem. Amazing though how you feel so strongly about non humans rights and Belems position on them when 9 times out of ten Belem is at war with a Human nation.

OOC: Well I pretty much ignore all future tech(not modern tech space) use most of it butchers every law of physics and most of the people who are fully space tech are elitists who refuse to take any losses esspecially for modern tech.

IC: Belem operates numerous orbitial satelites designed to launch ICBMs that can hit a target within five minutes. We also operate a massive SDI defense grid comprised of over 600 sats and 1 space station.

Where does the sovereign government of Belem stand on the use of chemical, Biological, and neurological weapons? Both on Military and civil targets?

Also, What is the governments stance on music? IE is anything banned? promoted?
Belem
31-01-2004, 01:53
well ill answer that first with a question: what would be considered a nuerologicial weapon?

The use of Chemical and Biological weapons on either civilian or military targets is a resonable and acceptable way to ensure your goals in a war.

The government has no official stance on Music but music that is deemed inappropiate will not be bought by the Belem People because of conditioning on what is acceptable and what isnt acceptable.

The use of Chemical and Biological weapons on either civilian or military targets is a resonable and acceptable way to ensure your goals in a war.

How can you say such a thing when it directly contradicts Catholic teachings on just war?

How can you promote eugenics when they contradict Catholic doctrine on racism (see the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the subject)?

What do you think of Catholic non-humans, such as Catholic elves (see Thelas, there are elves there that are full members of the Roman Catholic Church)?

Why do you call yourself the "Imperial Empire of Belem" when "Imperial Empire" is redundant?

Isn't 1 tank per infantry squad a bit excessive, and make h*** out of logistics?

We are only eliminating dredges and deviants of society

Though they are better then there forsaken Kindred the kingdom of God is reserved for Humankind. We will however treat them better then a heretic.

Because we like it like that

It provides heavy support for the squad. It is also used to overwhelm enemy tanks which would be smaller in number. We make up for the logistics by having smaller amounts of infantry compared to a regular division in most countries.
