New Tauron Policies & Opinions
The laws and policies of Kristonion are largely conservative. New Tauron requires all citizens, male and female, to register with the Army at the the age of eighteen. All this does is give the Army a person's records so they have them in the case of a draft, but other than that, the military is completely voluntary. Draft exceptions are only given to people who are enrolled in college, or if they are a mother with a child. Citizens are required to know, speak, and write in English, and immigrants must also be able to speak English. Immigrants must also pass a test of their knowledge of New Tauron ways and life. The education system of New Tauron is made up of both private and public educational sources. Public schools follow more closely to their state's department of education, while private schools can have more customized policies. For a citizen to gain entrance into college, they must have had certain classes in high school, and have four years of a second language. All high schools offer Spanish, and some offer Latin. Various schools offer French and German too. Colleges offer a large range of languages. In all public schools, both, evolution and creationism, are taught along side each other, and the children are left to make their decision. Private schools usually only teach creationism. Gun ownership in New Tauron is fully legal although in order to own a gun, the citizen must have an up to date license. Some weapons, mostly automatics and some semi-automatics, are not allowed for ownership by citizens for safety reasons. Alcohol cannot be purchased until the age of eighteen. Medical marijuana is legalized, though it is strictly regulated and only medical patients who absolutely need it will get it. Illegal immigration has a zero-tolerance policy in New Tauron. This policy, though, and illegal immigration, is uncommon due to New Tauron lacking a border with countries or regions that have a large amount of emigration.
