This is quite similar to the NS Political Player Beliefs thread in General; however, this is a thread for how your nation (rather than the player behind the nation) feels on specific issues.

State your full nation name.
Example: The United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia

Don't forget to remove the < > from your full nation name. All you have to do is remove the spaces between the bracket and the closing bold and the color. Just copy and paste this into your post.

Just add new categories into an entirely new post. I'm not going to notice an edit in a previous post.

If you can think of some new categories, feel free to suggest them. You may now post.

A

B

The Igovian Soviet Commonwealth of Beth Gellert
Abortion: Legal (rates relatively low owing to good education, open community-based society, and low crime; debate on, "cut-off point" for termination on-going).
Alliances: None formally
Arms Trade: Not a priority... rare instances of export to aid progressive movements/societies.
Death Penalty: No.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Open but prone to none-recognition of unaccountable governing bodies.
Drugs: Widespread production for personal and community use, no significant trade.
Economic System: Igovian Socialist.
Education: Communal from an early age, subsidised university and/or community-sponsored on-going part-time adult education programmes.
Energy Policy: A system of clean-burning fossil-fuel stations and nuclear power plants supported by some hydropower is set to continue until other renewable technologies are deemed efficient enough to replace coal and nuclear power.
Environment: A recognised global priority attended to by well-funded and strictly enforced clean power generation and transport, but locally afflicted by chronic over population.
Euthanasia: Legal but limited by advanced medical facilities, high funding and standards, and good community-based care, which combine to lessen suffering and improve quality of life in a great many cases.
Gay Marriage: Technically legal, but marriage is a neglected institution rarely practiced in any official form.
Gun Control: Every adult citizen of able mind and body is enroled in the Commonwealth Guard and has access to arms and defence equipment, which is looked-after on a communal basis by elected men-at-arms. Airweapons and bows are often used for sporting purposes.
Humanitarian Aid: Emergency food, medical, and disaster rescue aid is given in great quantities, but long-term hand-outs are not supported, rather the Commonwealth funds community-based reconstruction and education projects, often directly defying national governments in order to elevate populations.
Immigration Policies: It is possible to become a Commonwealth citizen more or less by becoming accepted by a community. Many communes have significant redundant capacity and will gladly take-in lodgers prepared to pull their weight, and -if popular- foreigners can take their community's support to the Civil Service with a good chance of winning citizenship.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): By and large, Igovians view such power-blocs as counter-democratic and the Commonwealth gives them no official recognition.
Nuclear Weapons: The Commonwealth maintains typically just one SSBN per quarter-billion citizens, and as such has far less than two-thousand warheads -only a few hundred of which are ever close to deployment readiness- despite being a wealthy nation with a population approaching five billion.
Philosophy: Freedom and progress are arguably the foundations of Igovian society, though its political, social, religious, and philosophical life is deceptively complex. Mainstream Beddgelen society is struggling with post-revolutionary perception of the cult of Man's species-being as Igovian thinkers try to further free the individual.
Prostitution: In theory it is legal, but since unemployment is effectively nil and it is hard to imagine how in the Commonwealth anybody could force others into such a trade, it is not widespread and is a wholly voluntary affair on both sides...
Religion: All but dead. On-going struggles with the religious development of the nation lead some to claim, as referenced above, that the liberation struggle has effectively replaced the Christian God with an almost Holy idea of Man (as opposed to a man), and here the spiritual story continues to be written.
Social Security: Beth Gellert is a society that counts community -not family- its basic unit. People live in Pantisocratic Phalansteries of a few hundred to three thousand individuals set in villages, hill forts, or palaces, and there is no prospect of them losing shelter, food, and medical care unless they choose to reject it. The only homeless, unemployed, or poor people in the Commonwealth are those few that have deliberately chosen to live a more simple life, perhaps in pursuit of some ideology insufficiently popular to found a whole community. Even they are not rejected wholly.
The UN: This is viewed much like most other agreements made between states and governments rather than lived by people, and Igovians generally have little interest in it.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): There are no parties and no heads of state or government in Beth Gellert, which considers itself one of precious few democracies on earth. It is a society run by the people and not so much for -that is to say on behalf of- the people. All citizens are free to attend their Local Senate, which exists usually within the grounds of their Phalanstery. Referenda can be called at just about any time and on just about any issue, all public officials are subject to popular recall, and even teachers and judges are elected as the need arises.
War: As mentioned above, all comrades are enroled in the Commonwealth Guard for mutual defence. It is not thought that any nation or alliance on earth could subdue the Commonwealth without saturation by weapons of mass destruction. Being quite secure in itself, being relatively free of individual misleadership, and being a democracy rather than the dictatorship of a special interest group, Beth Gellert is rarely moved to war. However, its revolutions have seen the communities that became modern Beth Gellert fight in self defence a number of times, vanquishing the fascistic Finnish Lapua movement; nationalist Republicans; the Bolshevik Red Army; a brief exploitative Principality, and a fleet sent by the Iansislian empire that supported it. It is possible that the Commonwealth may begin to get itself in trouble again in the future by backing left-socialist and anarchist rebel movements abroad.

The Internal Combustion Engine of Generic Empire
Abortion: legal only in cases of rape or when the woman’s life is threatened
Alliances: The C A D region and her allies, notably Doomingsland, The Borman Empire, Freudotopia, Shenyang, Zerbia, Inkana
Arms Trade: Free information and weapons design sharing between C A D regional members (free production rights). Does not officially sell arms and designs to rogue states or organizations, however based on previous ethical track records, shadowy dealings could be suspected.
Death Penalty: Is an acceptable sentence for any crime in an Imperial court or at the Emperor’s personal request, but is only acceptable for particularly heinous crimes such as murder, rape, or grand larceny in a local court.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Selectively open, meaning that diplomatic relations will only be opened if the nation in question has something particularly desirable to bring to the table. Other than that, diplomatic negotiations occur solely between Generia and other C A D members.
Drugs: Anything the government classifies as a narcotic drug is illegal to buy, trade, sell, traffic, have on one’s person, or use. The laws are vigorously enforced by a special military police unit with access to full land, sea, and air resources. The minimum sentence for possession of narcotics with intent to sell or distribute is forty years in a government prison, and the maximum sentence is death by firing squad.
Economic System: Heavily laissez-faire capitalist. All industry is privatized, and corporations operate largely without regulation. The government operates a few profitable companies of its own, which function to provide a source of income in place of the nonexistent tax rate.
Education: There is no such thing as public education in Generia. All schools are privatized, making it largely the upper and upper middle classes that receive education and literacy. Laborers, skilled and unskilled, are often taught how to read and perform simple mathematical operations in brief classes funded by their employers to allow them to better function in their work environments. The government also operates a dozen Imperial Schools, where children between the grades 5 and 12 that are found to be particularly gifted are granted access. The schools are not free, and thus while any child regardless of income status can be selected to attend, it is usually only the wealthiest that actually manage to accept the privilege.
Energy Policy: Fossil Fuels still extensively used, with a significant number of nuclear powerplants. Hydroelectric generators are rare due to the scarcity of suitable dam locations, however, there are two notable facilities situated on the Slobozia river.
Environment: Largely unprotected. Most rivers and lakes in Generia are heavily polluted, and 24 known species are known to have gone extinct in Generia in the past 11 years, however, due to the inhospitable nature of large swathes of the northern dominions, particularly the enormous Alberian steppe, these areas remain naturally pristine, and populated with native wildlife, such as bear and elk.
Euthanasia: Legal if the patient is determined by a government medical advisor to no longer be able to maintain a functional lifestyle.
Gay Marriage: Illegal. Harsh penalties for clergy who perform such services.
Gun Control: Largely nonexistent, however, the sale of certain firearms (particularly the GIR-47 standard assault rifle and certain rocket launchers) is prohibited. Carrying a concealed weapon is legal, and the large majority of citizens both own and carry firearms with them at all times. This tends to discourage muggings and burglary in the larger cities, as it is always legal to kill someone threatening one or one’s family, so long as there is a credible witness present to testify to the legitimacy of the action as one taken in self defense. Even without a witness, the courts often look favorably on a citizen vigilante.
Humanitarian Aid: Rarely, if ever.
Immigration Policies: Open for citizens of C A D regional member states. Potential immigrants from other non-C A D nations are subject to long periods of review, and if accepted, undergo a two month quarantine at an Imperial immigration facility. Any immigrant, no matter how long the individual has lived on Generian soil, is subject to having their status revoked and being deported to their mother country.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC): None. Generia avoids them like the plague.
Nuclear Weapons: Large arms stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Has only used nuclear weaponry in one previous case, following a nuclear attack on Generia by the Lightning Star, the retaliation for which (by no less than 3 nations including Generia) near completely annihilated the offending nation.
Philosophy: Opportunist in near every regard. Believes in keeping the Generian hand in a foreign situation invisible unless absolutely necessary, therefore covert and espionage operations are preferred.
Prostitution: Legal so long as the prostitute in question is registered and reports for a monthly physical at a government approved medical center. The penalty for a prostitute communicating a sexually transmitted disease to a customer is death.
Religion: Both Generian Orthodox Christian and Freudian Orthodox Christian (the national religion of Freudotopia) are accepted as official religions throughout the Empire, although most faiths are tolerated. There is an enormous amount of discrimination, public and private, against people with atheistic or Satanic beliefs, leaving most such believers to keep their ideas private and undiscussed.
Social Security: none
The UN: Believed to be the root of all evil.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): N/A. The Empire is an absolute, patriarchal hereditary monarchy.
War: When it is found profitable or necessary by the Emperor, war is an acceptable affair. Generia has a long and proud military tradition, and most men choose to enter the services at a young age for the first two year minimum tour of duty. While service is not required, most employers will refuse to hire someone without a military background. Women are prohibited from serving in any branch of the armed forces.
Internal Issues: A longstanding tension between the local population of the southern province of Buchiana and the rest of the Imperial Union has recently erupted into a full blown war for secession led by elements of the terrorist organization calling itself the Buchianan Liberation Army (BLA). The Empire has deployed the Imperial 40th Army to the province to quell the rebellion, however fighting has become fierce and both sides are embroiled in a battle of attrition in the wooded lowland known as the Lew Valley. This is the second such crisis of secession the Empire has experienced with regard to Buchiana.

Tensions between the Empire and the people of the northern province of Alberia and the other provinces that make up the Northern Dominions still run high following the secession crisis in Alberia 32 years ago, and the subsequent occupation that spawned numerous atrocities in the region. The citizens of the northern dominions remain bitter about having their sovereignty compromised when the Emperor Alexei invaded and annexed their lands and added them to the Union. The citizens of the northern dominions are still afforded fewer rights than the rest of the Imperial citizenry and a large military presence in the region is maintained.

Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): The Imperial Commonwealth maintains a practice of open relations with many nations, except those deemed as 'threats to the Commonwealth,' be they direct or indirect. Insofar as nations with whom there has been no prior dialouge, a stance of armed neutrality in the Swiss model is maintained.
Drugs: Cannabis products (marijuana and hashish) are legal on private property with the owner of said property's consent. Hard drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy, are illegal in all cases.
Economic System: Free-Market Capitalist. The vast majority of industry and corporations are privatized, though certain ultilities are government-monopolies. The government operates its own 'brand' of various products and services, in order to raise money in place of the non-existant income tax. Several provinces and colonies have a sales-tax, though there is no standard version for the entire nation.
Education: There are both private and state schools for primary education (grades K-5), so that in theory even the poorest children will be literate and hav basic mathematical skills. Secondary education (grades 6-12) is largely privatized, meaningly that middle- and upper-class children generally get the best education. However, it is not uncommon for intelligent and driven lower-class children to gain entry via scholarships and vouchers.

Gay Marriage: Illegal. Civil Unions, which include benefits such as inheritance and visitation rights, are legal in most provinces and colonies, a notable exception being the Viceroyalty of the Cape.
Gun Control: Lenient. Any personal weapon not currently in use by the various Armed Forces of the Commonwealth (excepting handguns) and/or deemed to have "excessive destructive ability" (i.e. RPGs) is available for purchase. Concealed carry of firearms is legal, though no weapons may be brought inside government buildings or banks.
Humanitarian Aid: Rarely, though generous if the source requesting aid is determined to be legitimate.
Immigration Policies: Quite liberal. Essentially, anyone who wishes to immigrate is subjected to a review board, and if there are no reasonable objections, that person is allowed to enter. Citizenship is attained by a series of examinations and oathes taken by a legal adult (aged nineteen). Children under the age of nineteen are not considered citizens, but are often treated as such, especially if both parents are citizens.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): The Imperial Commonwealth is a member of several, though there are rumors that His Majesty's Government intends to void the more inactive ones.
Nuclear Weapons: The Imperial Commonwealth maintains small stockpiles of both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons.
Philosophy: Classic Liberalism prevails in most of the country, tempered by social conservatism.
Prostitution: Legal in the Viceroyalty of the Carribean, and is a government-monopoly. Prostitutes are checked monthly at approved medical centers, and those with communicable diseases lose their liscence, and are usually compensated an average month's pay.
Religion: Officially secular, though the Monarchy is traditionally Lutheran. Protestantism, usually Lutheran or Methodist, is the predominant religion, though Russian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Dutch Reformed Church, and various African diasporic religions are common in various parts of the Commonwealth.
Social Security: None.
The UN: Generally treated as a laughable joke.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): Suffrage for all citizens at age nineteen. Approximately 60% of eligible population votes in Prime Ministerial elections, 50% in Presidential, and 60% in Parliamentary.
War: When deemed necessary, the Imperial Commonwealth will not shy from using it's considerable military assests to protect itself, its assets, or its allies. The Commonwealth will also resort to preemptive actions and overt threats against weaker nations in order to preserve the status quo in "strategic sensitive areas" (for example, the Panama Canal).

The Borderlands of The Charr
Abortion: What is this, 'abortion'?
Alliances: We have one, of sorts. We do not seek to tie ourselves to others in such a fashion, but we are not completely closed to the notion.
Arms Trade: The proliferation of deathdealers is necessary for others to defend themselves, thus we see no reason why we should not make some gold from their trade. More powerful deathdealers must be sold with vigilance, however.
Death Penalty: When a Charr disgraces himself sufficiently to warrant it, they are executed by the victim, without mercy, and without appeal. Such a dishonour can only be earned through killing in a shameful fashion (e.g. stabbing in the back, shooting someone, or killing a helpless person without their consent), stealing without need, rape of another's mate(s), or running from battle in times of war.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Isolationist, looking to become more open.
Drugs: Hard drugs are good for dulling one's fighting spirit. Thus, they are good for nothing.
Economic System: People are free to make money on their own, but the Council will intervene if they do so in a dishonourable fashion. Most necessities are provided freely through taxation money.
Education: All education is provided freely for all Charr pups and human offspring.
Energy Policy: Largely geothermal, with some hydroelectric plants in the south and wind farms in the east.
Environment: Charr appreciate that given to them by the gods, they live off it, and thus they protect it to the best of their ability. Tyria is a beautiful and diverse place and will remain so for as long as the Charr control it.
Euthanasia: There is no honour in lying on a bed being kept alive by machines. There is no dishonour in choosing one's own method of death while one is still able to do so.
Gay Marriage: What is this, 'gay'?
Gun Control: There is none, as it is not needed. Tradition dictates that the use of deathdealers, excepting times of war, is dishonourable, and thus no Charr choose to own them despite their availability.
Humanitarian Aid: Such a racist term. Until its name is changed we see no reason to give it.
Immigration Policies: Presently, Tyria's borders are sealed to all outsiders without the express permission of the Council of Clans.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): None.
Nuclear Weapons: There is no honour in destroying entire cities without moving a muscle.
Philosophy: The Charr remain extremely tradition-driven, with ancient traditions influencing nearly every aspect of civilian, military and government life.
Prostitution: Female Charr are far too primitive to create such a profession. If it doesn't exist, there is no need to form an opinion about it.
Religion: ALL Charr worship the Gods of Fire; their awesome power is worthy of respect. Humans have recently been liberated, however, and they now bring their quaint pagan religions into society. We tolerate them, for the time being.
Social Security: If you cannot help yourself, we will not help you.
The UN: We're out, and we're staying out. We will not be ruled by a corrupt, godless, human-dominated organisation.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): All Ascended males are able to vote for their Clan Leader. Another election will be be called only when the people of that Clan are unsatisfied with their Leader; it is wasteful to continually re-elect the same person. Female Charr lack the cognitive abilities to even comprehend the concept of an election, much less to participate in one. Humans now have their own clans, and their voting concerns are not our concerns, though I believe they have allowed males and females over the age of 16 to vote for their Clan Leaders.
War: Few desire it, but it is an excellent way to gain honour and distinguish the warriors from the combatants. With the Gods of Fire on our side, none shall rule Tyria but the Charr.

-snip-

Im not asking on whether you're in one, it's an opinion on large alliances.

Please people, keep the format that is in the first post. Do not forget to delete the space that is in between the bracketts in the closing bold. I'd prefer if you not change the color to something else. I put red there for a reason.

The Internal Combustion Engine of Generic Empire
Abortion: legal only in cases of rape or when the woman’s life is threatened
Alliances: The C A D region and her allies, notably Doomingsland, The Borman Empire, Freudotopia, Shenyang, Zerbia, Inkana
Arms Trade: Free information and weapons design sharing between C A D regional members (free production rights). Does not officially sell arms and designs to rogue states or organizations, however based on previous ethical track records, shadowy dealings could be suspected.
Death Penalty: Is an acceptable sentence for any crime in an Imperial court or at the Emperor’s personal request, but is only acceptable for particularly heinous crimes such as murder, rape, or grand larceny in a local court.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Selectively open, meaning that diplomatic relations will only be opened if the nation in question has something particularly desirable to bring to the table. Other than that, diplomatic negotiations occur solely between Generia and other C A D members.
Drugs: Anything the government classifies as a narcotic drug is illegal to buy, trade, sell, traffic, have on one’s person, or use. The laws are vigorously enforced by a special military police unit with access to full land, sea, and air resources. The minimum sentence for possession of narcotics with intent to sell or distribute is forty years in a government prison, and the maximum sentence is death by firing squad.
Economic System: Heavily laissez-faire capitalist. All industry is privatized, and corporations operate largely without regulation. The government operates a few profitable companies of its own, which function to provide a source of income in place of the nonexistent tax rate.
Education: There is no such thing as public education in Generia. All schools are privatized, making it largely the upper and upper middle classes that receive education and literacy. Laborers, skilled and unskilled, are often taught how to read and perform simple mathematical operations in brief classes funded by their employers to allow them to better function in their work environments. The government also operates a dozen Imperial Schools, where children between the grades 5 and 12 that are found to be particularly gifted are granted access. The schools are not free, and thus while any child regardless of income status can be selected to attend, it is usually only the wealthiest that actually manage to accept the privilege.
Energy Policy: Fossil Fuels still extensively used, with a significant number of nuclear powerplants. Hydroelectric generators are rare due to the scarcity of suitable dam locations, however, there are two notable facilities situated on the Slobozia river.
Environment: Largely unprotected. Most rivers and lakes in Generia are heavily polluted, and 24 known species are known to have gone extinct in Generia in the past 11 years, however, due to the inhospitable nature of large swathes of the northern dominions, particularly the enormous Alberian steppe, these areas remain naturally pristine, and populated with native wildlife, such as bear and elk.
Euthanasia: Legal if the patient is determined by a government medical advisor to no longer be able to maintain a functional lifestyle.
Gay Marriage: Illegal. Harsh penalties for clergy who perform such services.
Gun Control: Largely nonexistent, however, the sale of certain firearms (particularly the GIR-47 standard assault rifle and certain rocket launchers) is prohibited. Carrying a concealed weapon is legal, and the large majority of citizens both own and carry firearms with them at all times. This tends to discourage muggings and burglary in the larger cities, as it is always legal to kill someone threatening one or one’s family, so long as there is a credible witness present to testify to the legitimacy of the action as one taken in self defense. Even without a witness, the courts often look favorably on a citizen vigilante.
Humanitarian Aid: Rarely, if ever.
Immigration Policies: Open for citizens of C A D regional member states. Potential immigrants from other non-C A D nations are subject to long periods of review, and if accepted, undergo a two month quarantine at an Imperial immigration facility. Any immigrant, no matter how long the individual has lived on Generian soil, is subject to having their status revoked and being deported to their mother country.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC): None. Generia avoids them like the plague.
Nuclear Weapons: Large arms stockpiles of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Has only used nuclear weaponry in one previous case, following a nuclear attack on Generia by the Lightning Star, the retaliation for which (by no less than 3 nations including Generia) near completely annihilated the offending nation.
Philosophy: Opportunist in near every regard. Believes in keeping the Generian hand in a foreign situation invisible unless absolutely necessary, therefore covert and espionage operations are preferred.
Prostitution: Legal so long as the prostitute in question is registered and reports for a monthly physical at a government approved medical center. The penalty for a prostitute communicating a sexually transmitted disease to a customer is death.
Religion: Both Generian Orthodox Christian and Freudian Orthodox Christian (the national religion of Freudotopia) are accepted as official religions throughout the Empire, although most faiths are tolerated. There is an enormous amount of discrimination, public and private, against people with atheistic or Satanic beliefs, leaving most such believers to keep their ideas private and undiscussed.
Social Security: none
The UN: Believed to be the root of all evil.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): N/A. The Empire is an absolute, patriarchal hereditary monarchy.
War: When it is found profitable or necessary by the Emperor, war is an acceptable affair. Generia has a long and proud military tradition, and most men choose to enter the services at a young age for the first two year minimum tour of duty. While service is not required, most employers will refuse to hire someone without a military background. Women are prohibited from serving in any branch of the armed forces.
Internal Issues: A longstanding tension between the local population of the southern province of Buchiana and the rest of the Imperial Union has recently erupted into a full blown war for secession led by elements of the terrorist organization calling itself the Buchianan Liberation Army (BLA). The Empire has deployed the Imperial 40th Army to the province to quell the rebellion, however fighting has become fierce and both sides are embroiled in a battle of attrition in the wooded lowland known as the Lew Valley. This is the second such crisis of secession the Empire has experienced with regard to Buchiana.

Tensions between the Empire and the people of the northern province of Alberia and the other provinces that make up the Northern Dominions still run high following the secession crisis in Alberia 32 years ago, and the subsequent occupation that spawned numerous atrocities in the region. The citizens of the northern dominions remain bitter about having their sovereignty compromised when the Emperor Alexei invaded and annexed their lands and added them to the Union. The citizens of the northern dominions are still afforded fewer rights than the rest of the Imperial citizenry and a large military presence in the region is maintained.

The Corporate Overlordship of Undelia
-Just a note to start off here when I return.

.::BUMP::.

The Imperial Commonwealth of Malkyer
Abortion: Legal only in special circumstances (i.e. rape, when the mother's life is endangered, etc).
Alliances: Ottoman Alliance, Coalition Forces Alliance, Council of International Imperial Powers (defunct?). There are also several nation-states that are close allies of Malkyer, including the Khailfah al Musilmeen and Roach-Busters.
Arms Trade: Coventional arms sold to just about anyone willing to pay, NBC weapons never sold.
Death Penalty: Yes, for cases of Murder (excepting Involuntary Manslaughter), Rape, and Treason.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): The Imperial Commonwealth maintains a practice of open relations with many nations, except those deemed as 'threats to the Commonwealth,' be they direct or indirect. Insofar as nations with whom there has been no prior dialouge, a stance of armed neutrality in the Swiss model is maintained.
Drugs: Cannabis products (marijuana and hashish) are legal on private property with the owner of said property's consent. Hard drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy, are illegal in all cases.
Economic System: Free-Market Capitalist. The vast majority of industry and corporations are privatized, though certain ultilities are government-monopolies. The government operates its own 'brand' of various products and services, in order to raise money in place of the non-existant income tax. Several provinces and colonies have a sales-tax, though there is no standard version for the entire nation.
Education: There are both private and state schools for primary education (grades K-5), so that in theory even the poorest children will be literate and hav basic mathematical skills. Secondary education (grades 6-12) is largely privatized, meaningly that middle- and upper-class children generally get the best education. However, it is not uncommon for intelligent and driven lower-class children to gain entry via scholarships and vouchers. Post-Secondary education (colleges and universities) are entirely private, with the exception of the Royal University (with campuses in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Sydney, Perth, Kingston, and Durban) and the War College.
Energy Policy: Nuclear reactors power most of North America and Australia, though the Carribean and Cape Viceroyalties still rely heavily on fossil fuels.
Environment: Not officially protected, but there exist numerous volunteer and non-profit groups that donate time and money to environmental preservation and clean-ups. Pollution is relatively low in North America and Australia, due to the prevalence of nuclear power over coal or fossil fuels.
Euthanasia: Legal with patient's written consent and supporting medical evidence.
Gay Marriage: Illegal. Civil Unions, which include benefits such as inheritance and visitation rights, are legal in most provinces and colonies, a notable exception being the Viceroyalty of the Cape.
Gun Control: Lenient. Any personal weapon not currently in use by the various Armed Forces of the Commonwealth (excepting handguns) and/or deemed to have "excessive destructive ability" (i.e. RPGs) is available for purchase. Concealed carry of firearms is legal, though no weapons may be brought inside government buildings or banks.
Humanitarian Aid: Rarely, though generous if the source requesting aid is determined to be legitimate.
Immigration Policies: Quite liberal. Essentially, anyone who wishes to immigrate is subjected to a review board, and if there are no reasonable objections, that person is allowed to enter. Citizenship is attained by a series of examinations and oathes taken by a legal adult (aged nineteen). Children under the age of nineteen are not considered citizens, but are often treated as such, especially if both parents are citizens.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): The Imperial Commonwealth is a member of several, though there are rumors that His Majesty's Government intends to void the more inactive ones.
Nuclear Weapons: The Imperial Commonwealth maintains small stockpiles of both strategic and tactical nuclear weapons.
Philosophy: Classic Liberalism prevails in most of the country, tempered by social conservatism.
Prostitution: Legal in the Viceroyalty of the Carribean, and is a government-monopoly. Prostitutes are checked monthly at approved medical centers, and those with communicable diseases lose their liscence, and are usually compensated an average month's pay.
Religion: Officially secular, though the Monarchy is traditionally Lutheran. Protestantism, usually Lutheran or Methodist, is the predominant religion, though Russian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Dutch Reformed Church, and various African diasporic religions are common in various parts of the Commonwealth.
Social Security: None.
The UN: Generally treated as a laughable joke.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): Suffrage for all citizens at age nineteen. Approximately 60% of eligible population votes in Prime Ministerial elections, 50% in Presidential, and 60% in Parliamentary.
War: When deemed necessary, the Imperial Commonwealth will not shy from using it's considerable military assests to protect itself, its assets, or its allies. The Commonwealth will also resort to preemptive actions and overt threats against weaker nations in order to preserve the status quo in "strategic sensitive areas" (for example, the Panama Canal).

Note: This is pre-Civil War. I'll update once the war is over.

The Borderlands of The Charr
Abortion: What is this, 'abortion'?
Alliances: We have one, of sorts. We do not seek to tie ourselves to others in such a fashion, but we are not completely closed to the notion.
Arms Trade: The proliferation of deathdealers is necessary for others to defend themselves, thus we see no reason why we should not make some gold from their trade. More powerful deathdealers must be sold with vigilance, however.
Death Penalty: When a Charr disgraces himself sufficiently to warrant it, they are executed by the victim, without mercy, and without appeal. Such a dishonour can only be earned through killing in a shameful fashion (e.g. stabbing in the back, shooting someone, or killing a helpless person without their consent), stealing without need, rape of another's mate(s), or running from battle in times of war.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Isolationist, looking to become more open.
Drugs: Hard drugs are good for dulling one's fighting spirit. Thus, they are good for nothing.
Economic System: People are free to make money on their own, but the Council will intervene if they do so in a dishonourable fashion. Most necessities are provided freely through taxation money.
Education: All education is provided freely for all Charr pups and human offspring.
Energy Policy: Largely geothermal, with some hydroelectric plants in the south and wind farms in the east.
Environment: Charr appreciate that given to them by the gods, they live off it, and thus they protect it to the best of their ability. Tyria is a beautiful and diverse place and will remain so for as long as the Charr control it.
Euthanasia: There is no honour in lying on a bed being kept alive by machines. There is no dishonour in choosing one's own method of death while one is still able to do so.
Gay Marriage: What is this, 'gay'?
Gun Control: There is none, as it is not needed. Tradition dictates that the use of deathdealers, excepting times of war, is dishonourable, and thus no Charr choose to own them despite their availability.
Humanitarian Aid: Such a racist term. Until its name is changed we see no reason to give it.
Immigration Policies: Presently, Tyria's borders are sealed to all outsiders without the express permission of the Council of Clans.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): None.
Nuclear Weapons: There is no honour in destroying entire cities without moving a muscle.
Philosophy: The Charr remain extremely tradition-driven, with ancient traditions influencing nearly every aspect of civilian, military and government life.
Prostitution: Female Charr are far too primitive to create such a profession. If it doesn't exist, there is no need to form an opinion about it.
Religion: ALL Charr worship the Gods of Fire; their awesome power is worthy of respect. Humans have recently been liberated, however, and they now bring their quaint pagan religions into society. We tolerate them, for the time being.
Social Security: If you cannot help yourself, we will not help you.
The UN: We're out, and we're staying out. We will not be ruled by a corrupt, godless, human-dominated organisation.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): All Ascended males are able to vote for their Clan Leader. Another election will be be called only when the people of that Clan are unsatisfied with their Leader; it is wasteful to continually re-elect the same person. Female Charr lack the cognitive abilities to even comprehend the concept of an election, much less to participate in one. Humans now have their own clans, and their voting concerns are not our concerns, though I believe they have allowed males and females over the age of 16 to vote for their Clan Leaders.
War: Few desire it, but it is an excellent way to gain honour and distinguish the warriors from the combatants. With the Gods of Fire on our side, none shall rule Tyria but the Charr.

The Igovian Soviet Commonwealth of Beth Gellert

Abortion: Legal (rates relatively low owing to good education, open community-based society, and low crime; debate on, "cut-off point" for termination on-going).
Alliances: None formally
Arms Trade: Not a priority... rare instances of export to aid progressive movements/societies.
Death Penalty: No.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Open but prone to none-recognition of unaccountable governing bodies.
Drugs: Widespread production for personal and community use, no significant trade.
Economic System: Igovian Socialist.
Education: Communal from an early age, subsidised university and/or community-sponsored on-going part-time adult education programmes.
Energy Policy: A system of clean-burning fossil-fuel stations and nuclear power plants supported by some hydropower is set to continue until other renewable technologies are deemed efficient enough to replace coal and nuclear power.
Environment: A recognised global priority attended to by well-funded and strictly enforced clean power generation and transport, but locally afflicted by chronic over population.
Euthanasia: Legal but limited by advanced medical facilities, high funding and standards, and good community-based care, which combine to lessen suffering and improve quality of life in a great many cases.
Gay Marriage: Technically legal, but marriage is a neglected institution rarely practiced in any official form.
Gun Control: Every adult citizen of able mind and body is enroled in the Commonwealth Guard and has access to arms and defence equipment, which is looked-after on a communal basis by elected men-at-arms. Airweapons and bows are often used for sporting purposes.
Humanitarian Aid: Emergency food, medical, and disaster rescue aid is given in great quantities, but long-term hand-outs are not supported, rather the Commonwealth funds community-based reconstruction and education projects, often directly defying national governments in order to elevate populations.
Immigration Policies: It is possible to become a Commonwealth citizen more or less by becoming accepted by a community. Many communes have significant redundant capacity and will gladly take-in lodgers prepared to pull their weight, and -if popular- foreigners can take their community's support to the Civil Service with a good chance of winning citizenship.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): By and large, Igovians view such power-blocs as counter-democratic and the Commonwealth gives them no official recognition.
Nuclear Weapons: The Commonwealth maintains typically just one SSBN per quarter-billion citizens, and as such has far less than two-thousand warheads -only a few hundred of which are ever close to deployment readiness- despite being a wealthy nation with a population approaching five billion.
Philosophy: Freedom and progress are arguably the foundations of Igovian society, though its political, social, religious, and philosophical life is deceptively complex. Mainstream Beddgelen society is struggling with post-revolutionary perception of the cult of Man's species-being as Igovian thinkers try to further free the individual.
Prostitution: In theory it is legal, but since unemployment is effectively nil and it is hard to imagine how in the Commonwealth anybody could force others into such a trade, it is not widespread and is a wholly voluntary affair on both sides...
Religion: All but dead. On-going struggles with the religious development of the nation lead some to claim, as referenced above, that the liberation struggle has effectively replaced the Christian God with an almost Holy idea of Man (as opposed to a man), and here the spiritual story continues to be written.
Social Security: Beth Gellert is a society that counts community -not family- its basic unit. People live in Pantisocratic Phalansteries of a few hundred to three thousand individuals set in villages, hill forts, or palaces, and there is no prospect of them losing shelter, food, and medical care unless they choose to reject it. The only homeless, unemployed, or poor people in the Commonwealth are those few that have deliberately chosen to live a more simple life, perhaps in pursuit of some ideology insufficiently popular to found a whole community. Even they are not rejected wholly.
The UN: This is viewed much like most other agreements made between states and governments rather than lived by people, and Igovians generally have little interest in it.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): There are no parties and no heads of state or government in Beth Gellert, which considers itself one of precious few democracies on earth. It is a society run by the people and not so much for -that is to say on behalf of- the people. All citizens are free to attend their Local Senate, which exists usually within the grounds of their Phalanstery. Referenda can be called at just about any time and on just about any issue, all public officials are subject to popular recall, and even teachers and judges are elected as the need arises.
War: As mentioned above, all comrades are enroled in the Commonwealth Guard for mutual defence. It is not thought that any nation or alliance on earth could subdue the Commonwealth without saturation by weapons of mass destruction. Being quite secure in itself, being relatively free of individual misleadership, and being a democracy rather than the dictatorship of a special interest group, Beth Gellert is rarely moved to war. However, its revolutions have seen the communities that became modern Beth Gellert fight in self defence a number of times, vanquishing the fascistic Finnish Lapua movement; nationalist Republicans; the Bolshevik Red Army; a brief exploitative Principality, and a fleet sent by the Iansislian empire that supported it. It is possible that the Commonwealth may begin to get itself in trouble again in the future by backing left-socialist and anarchist rebel movements abroad.


(I hope that this isn't too wordy. If you wish I can possibly try to cut it down, but the Commonwealth is quite radically different in organisation when compared to most traditional nation states and I'm prone to elaboration. Frankly, you're lucky I kept it as brief as I did!)

(I hope that this isn't too wordy. If you wish I can possibly try to cut it down, but the Commonwealth is quite radically different in organisation when compared to most traditional nation states and I'm prone to elaboration. Frankly, you're lucky I kept it as brief as I did!)

No worries, I can be the same way. That's why I haven't filled mine out yet. :p

The Wandering Armed Factions of New Militias
Abortion: A woman has her rights to give up a child. As long as the child hasn't reached a certain state in teh pregnancy, there's nothing wrong with it. But due to our low population, we have illegalized Abortion to keep our population high, but this increases the demand for ships.
Alliances:As our mother nation, Green Sun, believes, a nation should only join one alliance and stick to it, unless the alliance is for a specific thing.

Education: Everyone deserves a full and equal education, so it is free, but not necessarily acceptance into colleges.
Energy Policy: We have to share as much energy as possible, for giving one ship more energy would be favoritism.
Environment: We have to keep our ships completely clean to avoid disease.
Euthanasia: If you feel you can't go on, then New Militias has no use for you.
Gay Marriage: So long as it doesn't interfere with your duties, it's fine, sometimes encouraged.

Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): They will grow up to become corrupt much like the UN.

The United Freedom Forces of Euroslavia
Abortion: Abortion is allowed in Euroslavia, but frowned upon, despite being a very liberal nation. Taking the life of a baby is still looked on as a horrible thing.. probably one of the worst things that you can do in life.
Alliances: Euroslavia is in the Union of World Powers, which isn't as active as of late; and the Westwood Alliance, which has been very active as of late, with the attacks upon fellow WWA member Jarridia, and on ViZion.
Arms Trade: Euroslavia does not currently deal in arms trade with any nation, and builds its own arms through its own industries.
Death Penalty: The death penalty does not exist in Euroslavia, and has been banned since even before the first Civil War, which was quite some time ago.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): As of late, Euroslavia has been expanding its diplomatic relations with other nations of the world, and considers itself to be open for discussion and dialogue with majority of the rest of the world.
Drugs: Majority of drugs are legal in Euroslavia, while a lot of the citizens produce specific drugs such as marijuana on their own.
Economic System: Euroslav/Mixed (An alternative version of the Mixed Economy, added with Euroslav customs and traditions)
Education: Education is paid for up to the end of Secondary Education. Colleges and Universities are up for the student to be paid. Scholarships and Loans are numerous in number.
Energy Policy: Alternative energies are being used, for the most part, rather than having to rely on others for oil and gas. Euroslavia has some of the most strict policies requiring energy to meet specific standards to keep the environment safe.
Environment: The environment is of the utmost importance to Euroslavia, which has multiple policies at keeping the environment intact.
Euthanasia: Euthanasia is looked upon in the same manner as Abortion. It is legal, but it is frowned upon, and considered 'low'.
Gay Marriage: Gay Marriage is quite legal, with Euroslavia being one of the first nations to legalize it. The
Gun Control: Gun Control doesn't have a strong grip on the nation as other nations do. Each family has access to receiving a gun from the government. Any additional gun purchased by the family must be paid, in full, along with a background check
Humanitarian Aid: Euroslavia is one of the leading nations in the progression of humanitarian aid to nations that are in unfortunate predicaments, including war and famine. The only involvement that Euroslavia will ever have in a war is the dispatching of the world-reknown United Medical Force, trained to aid in the worst situations. To this day, Euroslavia still sends its Medical Forces across the world to fight against the negatives of this world. Every three years, Euroslavia sponsors a nation, in which they will directly aid it through its troubling times, politically, by working with the residents for peace (in the event of a civil war), and immediate seperation of each of the forces, while humanitarian aid is sent to both areas, whereupon discussion and talks take place for peace to be resolved.
Immigration Policies: Immigration is somewhat lax compared to the rest of the nations of the world. The borders between Euroslavia and its neighbors are completely monitored and seperated. There have been no instances in which immigrants have been allowed to enter Euroslavia illegally, in the past five years.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): A former member of NATO and the NWO, Euroslavia used to be greatly involved in large alliances. Since the resignation from NATO, and the disbanding of the NWO, Euroslavia has had a large distrust of them all, with which each has alterior motives to be in existance (in Lady Destra's opinion).
Nuclear Weapons: Before the Second Civil War, Euroslavia officially disbanded the last of its nuclear weapons, with security that such a war would never occur, at least with itself and another hostile nation, especially with the diplomatic channels available to itself.
Philosophy: Philosophy is continuously developing with haste in Euroslavia, developing its roots from Greece itself. It was rumored that the philosopher Togranos, who lived over 1000 years ago, was of early Euroslav descent. Philosophy itself is very important to society, even to this day.
Prostitution: Prostitution is all but extinct in Euroslavia. The practice itself has disappeared from the nation, though technically, it is 'legal'. Job-search agencies, which have been established in all Euroslav cities, has all but eliminated unemployment.
Religion: Religion is widely accepted, no matter what each individual believes. Majority of the population identifies themselves as non-denominational, spiritual, for that matter. The population has learned to not strictly believe in one specific religion, but to have their own ideals, that may match with some of the religions out there.
Social Security: Social Security is determined by the government, through the calculation of the average amount the person makes through their lifetime, and configured to make sure that the select person can make it through the rest of their life. Any extra money that each person makes through their job will always be theirs, but any person who does not have enough money to make it will be given money from the government, with no requirement of paying it back.
The UN: After much controversy, over a prostitution bill (which was repealed a few months later), Euroslavia officially withdrew from the UN. Not being a part of the United Nations secluded the nation from the international community, especially with its goals of humanitarian aid. Collaboration with the UN continued, despite Euroslavia's withdrawal from the organization. Eventually, the UN convinced the nation to re-join, through the discussion of the controversial bills with which they were repealed, and the promise that such bills wouldn't be passed.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): Voting doesn't take place in Euroslavia (with the leader), seeing as Lady Destra has been appointed as the leader after the Second Civil War, and she still maintains a strong, but lax rule over the population. Congress and its tri-cameral legislature are elected by the populace, in which over 70% of the nation goes to the polls and votes. Patriotism is very fierce, and the nation is well-known for its pride.
War: War is a complicated issue in Euroslavia. It is avoided at all costs. Diplomacy happens to be the nations' forte, so getting out of escalating political incidents is quite easy for Lady Destra nos Thiendrel. She is a very strong-willed leader, who was personally trained in debate, as well as diplomacy by some of the best scholars and teachers across the nation. To this day, she is still learning through experience. Euroslavia rarely becomes involved in a war, especially as of late in the past few decades. After the Second Civil War, to remove Communism from Euroslavia, a major war has not taken place on Euroslav soil, and its forces have not been actively involved in any military conflict since then.




As Beth Gellert says, you're all lucky that I was able to condense it to this size. There really is so much more involved. :p

*taggy*

The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime
Abortion: Such procedures are legal for all individuals above the age of majority (18 years of age) as they are considered standard medical treatment; women below the age of majority must consult with their legal guardians and possess consent similar to any other medical procedure, although considerable license is taken on extreme circumstances where the potential mother is in danger.
Alliances: At the present time, the USSSP is involved in a direct alliance with the Nation of Hamptonshire and is a founding member of The Alliance of Pure Research and Engineering States (TAPRES)
Arms Trade: Schultarian Export, Copyright, and Scientific Law prohibits the sale of any item or device with the sole purpose of "creating offensive destruction or forceful aggression"; such devices are usually denoted with the Kerga prefix in the Schultarian Armed Forces. However, items that are denoted with the Kamor prefix are considered openly available for international trade as they are approved for purposes designed without aggressive intent.
Death Penalty: The Schultarian Codes of Philosophical Precedent and Logical Conduct (Konductus Thalogim) stipulate that those who commit violent crimes are worthy of reciprocation with amplified consequences. Any crime above the level of inflicting intentional physical injury has the possibility of carrying a death sentence in a jury trial.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): The USSSP has adopted an open diplomatic stance, but the government at large will only further diplomatic contact with nations who initiate diplomatic channels of their own volition.
Drugs: Most narcotic drugs are generally distributed under intense regulation by state authorities, but they are considered legal under Schultarian law. Most of these narcotics are modified versions of existing mental and physical enhancements due to the nation's fixation of speeding the brain's thought processes (LSD, Methamphetamines, Cocaine, PCP) and are distributed though a generally very long an highly complex set of bureaucratic processes.
Economic System: A centrally planned, highly regulated system of public corporations intermixed with very small private enterprises; all industries possess a minimum of 52% ownership by the federal government. Minimum wage laws enforce a mandatory 21,100 merlon (~38,000 USD) base salary for all full time workers with merit-based bonuses designed to reward diligence and creativity.
Education: Based on the German system of public education; full state funding from pre-primary to post doctoral education for all born and fully naturalized Schultarian citizens with a substantial surcharge for all foreign residents. At the end of primary education (Grade 9), students are offered the chance of attending a Tragui'saa (Apprenticeship School), Teknaa'saa (Technical School), Seh'v'qui'saa (Civil Service School), or Kademia'saa (University Preparation School) and can interchange between the four provided they perform the necessary equivalency examinations.
Energy Policy: With limited access to liquid fossil fuels, most of our energy economy comes from distilled ethanol and naturally manufactured hydrocarbons such as compressed methane. As for electrical power, more than 83% of Schultaria Prime's electrical consumption stems from nuclear fission while the rest is supplanted though geothermal and tidal hydroelectric systems. In recent years the development of energy producing bubble fusion reactors has come to fruition, but practical development of these reactors as a sustainable power source is still approximately 5 to 10 years from realization.
Environment: Schultaria Prime currently faces severe ecological problems due to 1) Increased demand for raw material resources [particularly metallic elements], 2) Historically reduced concern for local environmental affairs [pre-dating the current government of 120 years], and 3) Unparalleled amounts of hyper-urbanization [especially in the Megalopolises of Schultaria Prime, Edgen, Tarannu, and Myrle with populations well over 150 million each]. While the government has taken steps to preserve what little natural wilderness that still exists in the nation, the pressures of agricultural self-sustenance and blooming population rates seem destined to make Schultaria Prime a fully "developed" landmass sometime within the next forty years.
Euthanasia: Fully legal and socially approved in cases where writs of medical care and assisted living (i.e. "Living" Wills) have been drafted prior to such events or where the party requesting assisted suicide is considered mentally sound enough to cast clear judgment. Otherwise, such cases are decided by counsel with relatives and assorted family members though an arbitrator of the Schultarian medical establishment to insure sound and reasonable legality; only though the written approval and reasoning of this arbitrator's final settlement can suicide be delivered without prior documentation.
Gay Marriage: Legal as per the stipulations of the Konductus Thalogim and recently through the multitude of "Equal Eye" laws established in Schultaria Prime. Such marriage has been an accepted institution for well over fourteen centuries but has now gained full, written, legal protection for the last one hundred and twelve years.
Gun Control: All sport, self-defense, and military weapons are owned and maintained by the federal government, but can be rented with the proper documentation and necessary background checks. Each rental agreement consists of a fully detailed weapon usage and distribution plan (where you intend to take the weapon with immediate, non-negotiable, imprisonment for any deviation), licensing of all weapon ammunition (for security trace purposes, all bullets are engraved with specific serial numbers in every possible internal and external surface), and a mandatory 50 hour safety course for all new weapon renters. M(achine Gun) and D(estructive) class weapons are only available for use on approved SKC weapon ranges with proper supervision. No non-Schultarian citizens are allowed to pursue such rentals or import any weapons without first applying for some form of naturalization.
Humanitarian Aid: Aid is distributed through charitable contributions and free contracts by the State Industries of Schultaria Prime: Designwerks. Nearly 1% of our annual budget, some 1.1 trillion USD per year, is devoted solely towards the furthering of many public works projects to nations that are totally devastated in terms of infrastructure, economically struggling, or developing but industrially depressed.
Immigration Policies: Schultaria Prime allows full, naturalized, and dual citizenship status to a majority of its immigrant population; those that have not committed serious (felonious) offenses as per Schultarian law are allowed to pursue full citizenship status in as little as 5 years or residency. Standard examinations in basic (English) language proficiency, generic Schultarian law, and general Schultarian history are necessary for any foreign national who wishes to disavow any form of temporary citizenship status.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): At the present time, Schultaria Prime is a signatory member of the New Alliance Treaty Organization. Present national stances dictate that such large alliances are indeed a necessity to preserve what tenuous and strained peace exists in the world, but also views it as an agent which can only temporarily hold back the tide of another global war.
Nuclear Weapons: With the implementation of advanced satellite and land-based missile interception systems, the USSSP only maintains one ICBM-based thermonuclear weapon (yield and number of warheads classified). However, tactical concerns about the nation's security in the event of attack has allowed for the production, distribution, and popularly accepted use of low yield devices (less than or equal to 7.5 kilotons of TNT) by artillery systems. Exact numbers of these weapons are classified, but are estimated (by reliable sources) to be in the range of 1,000 to 1,250 weapons of 5 to 7.5 kilotons each.
Philosophy: "No one individual should ever hold complete dominion over the people and the people's species; help those, in any way, who still are burdened by foolhardy, arbitrary, and stupid dictators." -Acamar Oergen, purported founder of the as of yet poorly understood Sacred Architects of Humanity
"Violent people don't ever listen to reason, but they get the picture when their family has been reduced to ash" -Merle Elliot Schultz, leader of the Schultarian Democratic Revolution and first Central Director of Schultaria Prime's current national government
Prostitution: As in all other businesses, prostitution is highly regulated and contains majority ownership by the government. No moral or legal limitations exist in such institutions, except to preserve the safety and health of both the worker and the participating client from any serious harm.
Religion: All religious organizations are subject to state taxation with varying degrees of compensation for charitable works of indiscriminate value. No state sponsored church or any official statistical religious attendance documentation currently exists in Schultaria Prime, although (though casual observation) the Nation currently caters to a high number of Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Shinto, and Protest Christian (Mainly Arminianism-based Episcopalian) beliefs.
Social Security: Sixty percent of the national budget is devoted solely to providing the citizens of Schultaria Prime with the basic necessities required for daily life. Items such as housing, public transit, pension insurance, and assorted food expenses are covered under this omnibus budgetary allocation. In addition, each person is allowed to hold up to 10 million merlons (18.1 million USD) in a private account as a "legacy" donation for future generations, but the ways in which a citizen can place money in that account are limited to royalties from works of intellectual and physical copyright.
The UN: The USSSP views the United Nations as a potential step towards a peaceful, global, government and appreciates the steps taken by its signatory nations towards seeking a unified solution to the globe's sundry problems. However, the Schultarian government views the current political structures and executive inconsistencies of the UN as horribly atrocious to a institution designed to help the world at large and has concluded that they can provide a better service to the world though direct devotion to humanitarian efforts.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): Voting age is universal to all full Schultarian citizens 18 years of age and older, but only available to dual citizens in non-federal elections. Most federal elections occur every three years for National Assembly appointments and five years for the Central Directorate. Other special elections can also happen throughout the year as pure democracy is allowed in the cases of Constitutional Reform and Electorate Referendum. In an average federal election, approximately 70% of all registered voters will attend the polls due to liberal election day restrictions of business hours; however, in votes of special consideration concerning defense, the percentage will often jump to rates well over 90%.
War: War has been a subject of intense debate amongst the citizens of Schultaria Prime, and many voters have been very reticent about committing Schultarian Defense Forces to foreign theaters of war. However, the federal government is allowed some leniency in cases where the physical nation and its assets are attacked in order to provide appropriate measures of necessary response. Nonetheless, as in the cases of Constitutional Reform and Electorate Referendum, the business of war is a direct democratic affair where the Schultarian people vote whether or not the nation commits its military forces to full wartime action. As such, the nation has only deployed its forces to foreign soil twice and officially declared war once in the last twelve decades, but maintains a strategically sophisticated and technically advanced set of defense forces designed to protect the nation from threats both perceived and developing.

OOC: Whew, took me two hours of solid typing just to get this level of detail. Hope you enjoy it!

Willing to share diplomatic relationships with many nations but is only willing to share the allied status with trusted nations with established trade ties. Is willing to back up foreign policy with force if necessary.

Economic System: A fairly capitalist economy, but with many state-owned industrial sectors and large corporations, including military-controlled arms contractors and government-controlled corporations. Private businesses generally operates with minor set of restrictions.
Education: Public education are free for all across the nation, with a mandatory 15-year education curriculum starting from the age of four. Graduation from secondary school is required for most jobs and for social insurance and welfare; people who leaves school before graduation are put at a severe disadvantage. Most post-secondary education institutions are state-controlled, with some privately-controlled. Private elementary or secondary educational institutions, and home schooling, are banned.
Energy Policy: Both clean fossil fuel and nuclear power plants are widespread across the nation and are owned by the state; hydroelectric power sources are also common but discouraged; wind power is also common in remote regions.
Environment: Very lax environmental policies and is largely ignored
Euthanasia: Legal only if consent is given by the patient him or her self, or/and in extreme circumstances when it is determined that such termination would be necessary.
Gay Marriage: Legal but rarely practiced
Gun Control: Fairly lax across the nation, but varies across province to province. Many citizens are encouraged to possess firearms, but must be registered to own a firearm and is required to pass an extensive firearms safety course. Automatic projectile weapons and weapons of up to 15.5mm in calibre are allowed but are restricted to three per household. Weapons that fires rocket-propelled or rocket-assisted projectiles are banned, along with weapons that can accept more than 200 rounds at one time. In public, weapons must be concealed. The act of owning illegal weapons, or/and possessing or/and distributing weapons without authorization are severely punished. The People's Militia stockpiles spare rifles for extreme circumstances.
Humanitarian Aid: Sometimes given, provided that the distribution of aid does not put the Omzian Republic itself at a disadvantage.
Immigration Policies: Immigration is allowed for citizens from selected nations, but the procurement of actual citizenship is very difficult. However, the nation welcomes multiculturalism provided if they do not disturb the general sense of Omzian unity and identity.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): No membership in such large alliances and is avoided.
Nuclear Weapons: The nation maintains a large stockpile of around 100,000 tactical nuclear weapobs below 50kT in yield, primarily deployed on surface-to-air missiles, ballistic missile interceptors, tactical cruise missiles, and on strategic bombers. The nation does not maintain expensive nuclear-armed strategic missiles or platforms for such missiles (i.e. ICBMs or ballistic missile submarines). However, active status (officially defined as ready to deploy in the moment's notice) is only assigned to warheads on ballistic missile interceptors. Biological weapons are not maintained, and there is also a sizable stockpile of chemical weapons.
Philosophy: The Omzian Republic strongly encourages freedom, prosperity, respect, and discipline; however, many Omzians also retains a very strong sense of identity and holds even nationalistic views. Fairly isolationist but believes that force can and should be used in the name of Omzian interests. Despite a strict moral standard and the clear corrospondence between such standards and the criminal code, the Omzian Republic is nevertheless a world leader in human rights (especially in the areas of imprisonment only if proven guilty, and absolutely NO torture).
Prostitution: Illegal across the nation; all offenders of participation or encouragement of such act are tried and sent to Reeducation Through Forced Labour.
Religion: Many people in the Omzian nation are either atheist or agnostic, but Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism are not rare.
Social Security: A national welfare program exists and aid is given to those that are proven to be in need, but is promised to everyone who has successfully completed the Omzian education curriculum or are underage. In general, homelessness are very rare, though occasionally communities slightly resembling slums in large industrialized nations are not TOO rare.
The UN: For the Omzian citizens, politicians, and military officers, all talks of UN are accompanied with laughter and jokes.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): Presidental election per six years and regional elections per four-five years. Voting is restricted to people above the age of twenty-one.
War: The Omzian Republic believes that though peace is still a priority, war is necessary in the interest of Omzian homeland defence, protecting Omzian interests, or/and fulfill obligations made to allies. The Omzian military is an all-volunteer force with high washout rates, and conscription will be considered only in the very dire circumstances; however, in times where the act of homeland defence is conducted, enlistment into the Omzian People's Militia is strongly encouraged. The people of the Omzian military, including officers in particular, are highly respected in the civilian world and are addressed by the rank they hold. Recent conflicts that the Omzian Republic has participated in often affects either Omzian or allied interests.
Omzian military doctrine strongly favours mobility and flexibility over large numbers, and this is backed with a large navy and a huge air force, with a focus on carrier aviation and a gigantic strategic air/bomber arm. The Army is defencive but is heavily mechanized and focuses on mobility, and is suited for the Omzian nation's fairly flat terrain and can conduct offensive operations if necessary. During deployment, rapid deployment forces are generally deployed first (unless such deployment is not in response to an urgent threat). The Omzian military also includes an elite 'Honour Guard' formation as well, while the 'National Guard' serves as a reservist branch of the military. For homeland defence operations, the large Omzian People's Militia is deployed.

The Democratic Republic of Halberdgardia
Abortion: Legal.
Alliances: Halberdgardia has alliances with a number of countries, and belongs to a number of collective defense alliances.
Arms Trade: Automatic weapons are illegal for citizens to own, and law enforcement cracks down heavily on illegal arms trafficking.
Death Penalty: Legal, but used only for the most heinous crimes.
Diplomatic Stance (Isolationist, Open, etc): Relatively isolationist, preferring not to get involved in most matters of other countries, but may issue statements/commentaries in said matters from time to time.
Drugs: Tobacco products are legal for people 18 and above, but all other drugs (marijuana, heroin, cocaine, Ecstasy, etc.) are illegal, and law enforcement likewise cracks down on the drug trade quite heavily.
Economic System: Capitalist.
Education: Education is a high priority in Halberdgardia, receiving 16% of the budget yearly.
Energy Policy: Fossil fuel power plants are discouraged now that more advanced technology is available; nuclear power plants have been phased out in favor of cold fusion power plants, highly efficient solar panels, and some hydroelectric and windmill power plants.
Environment: The government seeks to strike a balance between industrialization and the environment; for example, a large uranium deposit was recently discovered in Halberdgardia, but mining it would result in the deforestation of a large area, so the government allowed only the mining of areas where deforestation was not necessary.
Euthanasia: Legal only by consent of the patient.
Gay Marriage: Referred to as "civil unions" instead of "marriage," but is legal, and partners are given the same rights as married couples.
Gun Control: Legal to own a weapon if you are 18 or above and have undergone a gun safety course and received a permit.
Humanitarian Aid: Given quite frequently, and in generous amounts.
Immigration Policies: Halberdgardia accepts nearly all immigrants and refugees, unless they are deemed to be a threat or do not meet immigrational standards for whatever reason.
Large Alliances (NATO, RWC, etc): A former U.N. member, but withdrew following the passing of several economically stifling resolutions. The government believes heavily in the usefulness of collective defense alliances.
Nuclear Weapons: Maintains a small deterrent force of ICBMs, SLBMs, and nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.
Philosophy: Halberdgardia believes strongly in freedom, prosperity, respect, and discipline; however, many Halberdgardians also retain a very strong sense of national identity. Fairly isolationist but believes that force can and should be used in the name of Halberdgardian interests. Believes that some forms of torture can and should be used, where this would assist in saving lives, despite the moral bankruptcy the use of torture implies. However, criminals are otherwise treated fairly, with fair and swift trials with proper representation.
Prostitution: Legal, but this is mostly confined to downtown areas in certain cities (think Las Vegas-type locations)
Religion: The country is predominantly Christian, but there are substantial Jewish and Muslim minorities.
Social Security: Hundreds of billions of dollars are poured into social welfare every year, and a siginificant portion of that goes into Social Security.
The UN: Halberdgardia believes that the U.N. is a good step towards world peace, but is a flawed institution nonetheless. Halberdgardia believes that when an international institution like the U.N. is reduced to passing resolutions like "The Protection of Dolphins Act" that stifle economic development with restrictive boundaries, it does the member nations no good, and so resigned from the U.N. shortly before the passing of that particular resolution.
Voting Age & Voting Frequency (if applicable): There is universal suffrage for all people 18 and above, and voter turnout is high, usually at least 65%-70%, and often higher.
War: Halberdgardia is generally peaceful, preferring diplomacy and peaceful resolutions to armed conflict, but will not shy away from the threat of war. Halberdgardia's moderately-sized army is an all-volunteer force that is equipped with the best equipment and training that the country's defense budget can provide. Halberdgardia has fought three wars in its history: the Saharistan War, the Monitgnac Civil War (clandestine Special Forces support), and the Malkyeri Civil War. However, Halberdgardia has also faced many terrorist threats as well, with the terrorist group Global Jihad being particularly interested in the destruction of Halberdgardia.
