Policies | Stance |
Drug Law | Regulation varies on a Tlallaqa-by-Tlallaqa basis, some legalize some drugs while outlawing others. Generally, it’s common for cannabis and cocaine to be legal, with strict regulations on hallucinogens, which are only really deemed necessary for spiritual rituals involving shaman’s, monks or priest. Drug product that do not meet regulation are usually deemed illegal however, like street-drugs sold cheaply besides cannibis. |
Same Sex Marriage | Not officially illegal but not necessarily legal either. Generally the marrying of two men or women isn’t considered necessary by Ahkabnilian society and is seen as an oddity. While same-sex relationships aren’t seen as strange in themselves(Ahkabnil is somewhat polygamous, it’s mostly fine to have multiple sexual partners and be married) , it is viewed entirely unorthodox to marry the same sex, as it’s largely viewed as a strict commitment between a man and woman, to contribute to the population and raise a healthy family, while fulfilling to deemed ‘necessary’ household rules. Marriage is deemed legitimate by the Temple, and the Temple wouldn’t recognize a same-sex one. |
Education | Education is compulsory through Academy(high school). Academy is usually very strict, with the early young stages heavily studying the Scrolls of Xanach, then later indoctrinating Pexhitenlli law. Included alongside is mathematical and history courses, as well as subjects pertaining to the Scrolls suchs as astronomy, physics and other sciences in later teen stages on Academy. In the later stages of Academy trades and household living are usually taught, where girls and boys are usually seperated, this type of education depends on the area and local needs. After Academy, many may go on to college if they are deemed worthy to and are a citizen, to become a citizen one must pass the end of Academy exam. Most go on to less strict technical schools. College is free provided compulsory 2 year national civil service duty is completed before or during school. |
Property Ownership | Property within the Theocratic Confederation is mostly owned by the Temple of Oqan or by ‘private-sponsored/approved’ proxy. Tlallaqa’s however retain their right to their own land and so do tribes(families) as long as they govern themselves within the constraints of the theocracy. |
Voting | Only citizens of 19 years of age can vote and they must obtain both citizenship in their Academy exam and pass a government issued civics exam. Taking both of these exams is compulsory and so is voting in every election with an ‘abstain’ ballot option. A foreign born person who has earned citizenship may not vote. Voting isn’t held as a sacrosanct right but privileged obligation. To continue voting and remain a citizen, an exam must be retaken every ten years by an individual. |
Prostitution | Prostitution is legal only for men, with the exception of women diagnosed by the Temple of Oqan as ‘barren’. Women who can bare children are not allowed to enter the profession, as Ahkabnilian society views such a profession as neglecting a potential mother’s divine gift of birthing life. Prostitution regardless isn't very common, however foreign women are allowed, under license, to be prostitutes. Make prostitution is looked down upon but seen as usual depending where one lives, this depends on the Tlallaqa. |
Freedom of the Press | Official news and information that enters and leaves Ahkabnil is overviewed by the Temple of Oqan, having the power to cater certain press and ban others that are seen as detrimental to the common order. Quasi-free press exist in the form of entertainment and business news, political and social issues are usually under close scrutiny. The press acts as an independent mechanism, but must have the blessing of the Temple to release political and social pieces. |
Freedom of Movement | Ahkabnil lacks a duel citizenship program for various reasons, though travel is rather easy. If one loses their citizenship they may travel to any country they wish. |
Abortion | Illegal |
Health Care | Ahkabnil has a strong public healthcare system, emphasizing maternal care and the well-being of all citizens. This extents to standards derived from the Pexhitenlli Xile, health extends to advising a balanced diet, exercise and fitness. Healthcare is, for all purposes, completely free provided one has shown their contributions to society, likely a citizen. Other times a debt is incurred that must be payed to the Temple or worked off, if the supposed health issue is deemed unnecessary and avoidable, or a burden. |
Gun Laws | Guns are completely banned though members of the military are allowed to keep their sidearms after being discharged. |
Internet Neutrality | The government holds oversight over the internet and bans certain websites that are considered toxic to the status quo. Internet activity is watched closely and even rumored, by foreign intelligence agencies, to be a vessel for the Temple to control and funnel public opinion. |
Business Ownership | Most Ahkabnilian businesses are private but sponsored in great favor by the government, usually the market is regulated by bids and government control over raw material resources. Many public companies exist as well, funneled by the government. |
Marriage | Opposite sex marriage is looked upon most favorably, it's a central facet to Ahkabnilian society. There are no official laws regulating it. |
