Tokyo University Global Freedoms Report

[Mogar]

OOC note: Work In Progess, If you would like to be added sooner, start a convo with me, I would like to give everyone the ability to make their own rationalizations, My nation is similar to the United States IRL for a basis of opinions, as such the rating contained in this report will slightly reflect my own nations bias.

 

:Classified Report; Only 6 copies of this report exist, all in the hands of the top government officials of the Imperium:

 

Tokyo University has created a study of the freedom level of the nations of the planet, grading political, economic, social and religious freedoms.

 

 

North America:

Cascadia

Political - C, Absolute Monarchy with the ability to elect local leaders.

Economic - A, Cascadians have economic freedoms on the same level as Imperium Citizens.

Tikal

Political - C, Tikalians are generally free so long as they are not extremist or openly against the state, there is however a heavy emphasis upon confirming to the "standard", political change in Tikal is very unlikely in the near future.

Economic - D, Only Tikalians may own businesses in the nation. State-regulations are common and for  Japanese standards, quite harsh, there is some level of economic freedoms but nowhere near the level that exists elsewhere.

Social - E, There appears to be one train of thought taught in schools, and heavily encouraged by the state, not adhering to the government's 'you're born with certain special talents, find and cultivate them' social theory is gonna get the average citizen shunned out of society quickly.

Religious - D, Religious Freedom is allowed, but other than the Popol Vuh, none may proselytise, there appears to be a social and state created bias against any other religion.

French Guiana

Political - B, The people of French Guiana have the right to elect both the President and members of Congress within their respected provinces. They have basic civil rights and the government rarely interferes with their lives.

Economic - C, Most of the economy in French Guiana is operated by the private sector, oil drilling off the coast, lumber companies in the south and manufacturing plants in the Central region make up most of the economy of the country. Tourism plays its part but only during the spring and summer does it make an impact.

Social - A, The people of French Guiana are free to live their lives however they wish as long as it is within reason, due to the large French population many simply call themselves French and feel a connection to France. censorship is reasonable, healthcare isn't support by the state and the SDF's regular patrols make the military presence obvious

Religious - B, Most French Guianese are Christian divided by Protestants or Catholics. There's no inhibited laws toward any particular religion and most are welcomed in French Guiana.

Ubersteinia

Political - D, The Tri-State Assembly is an elected body that crafts legislature, but all laws must be approved by the President-for-Life, who can only be removed by a 100% vote of the Tri-State Assembly, essentially a dictatorship.

Economic -

Social - C,  Gay rights, Trans rights, enforced gender equality, enforced racial equality. On the other hand, television is State-owned and run by the Ministry of Education. Also, The Baltic Union uses Internal Passports. All citizens are required to carry their identification papers at all times while on public property. Visitors to the nation will in turn be required to carry their passport at all times.

Religious - B, strictly secular state. As long as your practices don't infringe on any laws (i.e human sacrifice, circumcision at birth, female circumcision, all of that would be banned. Need to operate with consenting parties and so on) and remain on private property

Zapadnaya

Political – B Zapadnaya has transitioned from a military dictatorship to a democratic constitution with an elected President and Prime Minister. However, the military retains significant influence in politics due to Constitutional provisions which allow the military to appoint 10 Senators and to undertake ‘necessary action to protect the secular nature of the state’. This... enhanced role of the military is generally accepted by the populace as helping to prevent a return to chaos.
Economic – C The Zapadnayan economy consists of a strong private sector in direct competition with State Owned and Worker managed factories. There are strict limitations on foreign ownership of businesses in vital industries. The rights of workers are protected by various unions, though the unions are often cautious to avoid being seen as undermining the economy.
Social – F, Social freedoms have advanced since the transition, but not at a rapid pace. The government still openly censors the internet and most newspapers and private TV stations practice self-censorship. While the constitution guarantees rights to citizens, it also prohibits abortion (for any reason), public displays of affection, and the wearing of fedoras or neckbeards. The government has also prohibited the playing of country, bluegrass or ‘emo’ music and empowers the Minister of Health to prohibit the sale and use of contraception for up to a year with parliamentary approval.
Religious – B, Zapadnaya retains a strongly secular government and the intermingling of religion and politics is viewed with suspicion. Freedom of religion is a constitutional right and may only be restricted if that religion poses a ‘threat or danger’ to other citizens or the state.

Albania

Africa:
 
The Aidennic Council of Alexandria

Great Lakes Republic

Political- B, The Republic has a strong democratic mechanism. Citizens are allowed to vote, it's a multi-party system, but the military still has a strong influence on things, notably with the rise of General Akinyi to Queen Akinyi. The military doesn't tend to intervene in domestic politics, however.

Economic- C The Republic has strong controls on industry, so as to preserve the rights of the labour force, as well as to maintain the ecological integrity of the nation).
Social- A, the Republic doesn't involve itself in the social lives of its citizens, so long as they're not going out and committing traditional crimes, (stealing, murder, etc.)
Religious- A officially secular, the state takes no hand in anything based on religion.

Dominion of the Severed Hand

Asia:

Imperium of Japan

Political - A, Constitutional Monarchy, allows for the citizens of the Imperium to have most control of their futures and laws, Her Imperial Majesty has the ability to veto and create laws by herself but has not abused this power.

Economic - A, Imperium Citizens have total economic freedom to create their own businesses or work for others, the state prevents monopolies and protects consumers from corporate crimes, as well as ensures product safety.

Social - A, Censorship is minimal, internet television and other forms of media are privately controlled with little state interaction. gender and ethnic equality are core tenants of the Imperium.

Religious - A, Freedom of religion is encouraged, and the Imperium is a secular society, while Shinto is the religion of the Home Islands, there has not been any push towards spreading the religion amongst citizens.

 

Principality of Shanghai

The Babylonian Empire

Political - C, They enjoy all freedoms and opportunities so long as it is not extremist in nature or harmful towards other citizens.

Economic - D, heavy industry based around petrochemicals and the military industral complex. Ship building and military hardware specialists due to the industrial capacity.
Social - B, all education, healthcare, social welfare programs etc etc, are all government funded and maintained to a high degree

Religious - A, 90% of the population prescribes to ‘the faith’, which is the worship of the God Emperor. However, this is not a forced requirement and simply something people do of their own free will. There is freedom of religion for all other beliefs, and are protected in Imperial Law alongside the faith, making hate crimes against other religions a crime punishable by a jail term.
