Description[?]:
| Cultural Census 2475 Ethnicity: White North Artanian: 70% Dundorfian: 20% Welsh: 5% Majatran: 1% Karissian: 1% Mixed/Other: 2% Primary Language: English: 79% Dundorfian: 19% Other: 2% Religion: Christians: 51% Protestant: 41% Almighty Path: 4% Catholic: 3% Other: 3% Judaism: 11% Buddhist: 2% Muslim: 1% Other: 3% No Religion: 32% Some explanations for key points. 1) The amount of Christians rose during the theocratic period, and that legacy is still there today. Many non-Protestants converted or fled under that period, but they're beginning to return, and Jews from Tadraki have been welcomed like they were last time Tadraki was invaded. With the fascist movement holding credible amounts of the vote their puppet church seems to be growing. 2) Dundorfians are breeding faster than WNAs, in particular due to their growing numbers in rural Merkan and even Uwakah now, and their numbers are increasing, although many are integrated. The nation's moving slowly towards bilingualism in the IRL Canada sort of way. Again minorities were driven out, with the Dundorfians and Welsh surviving mostly because of their numbers. This seem fair to everyone? |

| Message | The ILP opposes any census measures that attempt to measure the artificial, political construct of "race" or "ethnicity". |

| Message | does this Census take into the account the 8 years that my party has been spreading the word of GOD? we are not only a political party but a cultural and social movement that seeks a "Great Awakening". |
| Date | 03:55:01, October 22, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Progressive Party | To | Debating the Cultural Census 2475 |
| Message | Yeah. The numbers of Christians would be even lower otherwise. Trust me, you weren't exactly going to drastically raise the numbers of Christians from basically record-high levels. |

| Message | We are curious to the benefits of a Cultural Census. At this time we are wary that the fascists may exploit this information some how. |

| Message | OK, I am forced to point out this is basically OOC for determining the makeup of the nation like it was in 2410. |

| Date | 17:50:14, December 20, 2007 CET | From | Conservative and Environmentalist Party | To | Debating the Cultural Census 2475 |
| Message | Why would we have to vote on something that seems to be based on facts rather than proposals???? |
| Date | 14:11:32, December 30, 2007 CET | From | Kirlawan Popular Front | To | Debating the Cultural Census 2475 |
| Message | We don't have to vote on it. It's not going to the vote - it's just for information. By putting the Bill up, it will appear on the country's front page for all to see, without having to look in the forum |
