"Customizable Field Violations: Using offensive terms and language in a nation's motto, currency, national animal, and/or national title. Also applies to using a swastika or other offensive and/or pornographic imagery in a national flag. Huge flags (over 300x200 pixels) may also be deleted. Note that use of any human or racial terms as national animals is expressly forbidden.."

Does the bolded area mean 'Human' or racial terms. or 'Human terms' or 'Racial Terms'

A friend of mine had the Hot-looking Women as a National Animal. is that in violation of the bolded area of the ruling? since Hot-Looking Women can be a Human Term. or does it mean Literally 'Human?'

asking because I was planning on changing my National Animal, but wanted to know what was acceptable and what wasn't.

It's intended to cover all sorts of stuff, from "jews" to "bulgarians" to "midgets" to "choir boys". Stick with non-human animals, please. "Hot-looking women" isn't legal either.

thanks. I'm assuming then that "humans" fall into this catagory... even if one is roleplaying a nation of Non-humans?

I.e. I roleplay my people as Felineoids. Cat people.
