Foreign Views on Bostopia

From NSwiki, the NationStates encyclopedia.

The following page is a collection of foreign views on Bostopia that had been collected by the Isles Parliament following the Bostopia (Opinions of) Act 2007. A series of questions (below) were asked of Bostopia to random citizens in nations across the world, and their thoughts are documented below.

Some commentators abroad have stated this is merely a way for the Bostopian propaganda machine to see where it needs to improve the picture of Bostopia abroad, and isn't about improving conditions in Bostopia at all. The Government have strongly denied this.

(You can fill this in yourself, under the "answers" bit, with your nation's name as a sub-section, or TG the answers back to me. You can use the answers to this questionnaire as reference, or any of Bostopia's wiki pages of course, or by asking me)

(Also, please answer this in the perspective of an "ordinary" citizen from your nation)

Questions

All questions were, of course, "feel free to expand" type-questions.

  1. What do you know about Bostopia?
  2. Can you tell us anything you like in particular about Bostopia?
  3. Can you tell us anything you dislike in particular about Bostopia?
  4. What are your overall opinions of Bostopia?
  5. Would you ever consider visiting Bostopia as a tourist?
  6. Would you consider setting up business links there? (this is now part of the question, but please note that Bostopia is strong on small-business grants)
  7. What message about Bostopia do you think is sent out by the Government?
  8. On a sporting front, what do you think of Bostopia's achievements in the World Cup?
  9. Bostopia hired Kelly Firth as manager of its national squad. Do you view this as a step forward for women in Bostopia, though they already enjoy many of the same rights men do? (women would obviously be disallowed from serving in certain sections of the military, such as on a submarine)
  10. Would you ever consider visiting Bostopia if it was hosting a sporting event?
  11. Bostopia has a clothing-optional policy, with clothing not allowed at all in two states. What do you think of this?
  12. Bostopia has a mandatory period of 6 months military service, from January to June in what would be the school year of that teenager's 16th birthday. What are you opinions on this?
  13. Any other Bostopian policy-areas you would like to comment on?

Thank you for completing this survey. Emperor Boston, Confederate States of Bostopia
