Nation Full Name: Republic of California Nation Short Name: California or California Republic Ethnicity: ADMIN Religion: Protestant (w/ Secular Government) Government: Presidential Republic Population: ADMIN Various Laws Gay Marriage: Homosexuals in the Republic of California are granted equal legal rights as straight couples. Although marriage is defined by law as a religious institution, Gays may seek civil unions with the same benefits. Abortion: Abortion is legal through the first and most of the second trimesters. Partial Birth Abortion is banned. Destruction of State Symbols: Free speech is generally protected, though desecration of the Flag is considered a crime. The flag in California is a symbol of the nation's independence and strength and the people of California are fiercely protective of it. Civil Liberties (Usually too many to list): The original American bill of rights is generally intact, with restrictions on second amendment rights, and more specifics when it comes to what situations the government may intrude upon these liberties. Gun Carrying: The Republic has tough gun control laws to help police fight violence. Alcohol: Alcohol is legal for all adults (18+) Conscription: The Senate may vote to institute a draft. In peacetime a professional, highly trained, volunteer military, is maintained. State Armed Forces: Admin Government Approval Rating: Admin Stability Rating: Admin History: (If this wont fit into your storyline, I'll change it.) In the chaos that tore the United States apart, California rallied, taking advantage of it's powerful economy and established modern infrastructure, and quickly creating a professional independent military, to separate itself from the chaos and secure it's borders. Because of this California has avoided much of the initial destruction, and managed to maintain a significant economic base from which to build. Soon after, a new Constitution was drafted, and the Republic of California was declared. California is a Presidential Republic, with two main political parties; the Center-Left Democratic Party, which holds a majority in the current Senate, and the more Center-Right Conservative Party. The central government is given more emphasis than was previously given in the United States, with the hopes of keeping california united as one nation, and possibly reuniting more states in the future. Admin entered Freedom Ranking: Rating: _/10 (With 10 being least free.) |
