| Message | Christianity is most definitely not at 35%; Buddhism also shouldn't be larger than Shinto, though the two should outnumber Christians. Irreligious should also be higher. For language, Gao-Showa should be higher and English should be much much lower. For ethnicity, Gao-Showa should be slightly higher and, we have black people in Sekowo? (disclaimer: I'm not racist.) This is my opinion on the NLF suggestion. And in overall criticism of the census, why would there be an "Other" option on gender. I don't really feel that transgender and such equals a third gender, we should keep that statistic confined to male and female. |

| Message | In the wiki, Christianity is presented as the largest affiliation, although it would be sensible to make it less preeminent. As for Buddhism and Shinto, the majority of Gao-Showans could be the followers of a syncretism of the two religions, with a small number of people with a different ethnicity exclusively affiliated with the former. The Gao-Showa language can then be spoken by, say, 40% of the population, which would also be the number of Gao-Showa ethnics. The blacks were mentioned in previous censuses, but they can be included at 'other', as immigrants. We can limit the number of native English speakers to 30%, and increase the number of Normand speakers and speakers of other languages. The "other" option at gender covers transgender and hermaphrodite people, and many people considers this a third gender. Several also find it difficult to assume either a male or female identity, so I would keep the 'other' option. |

| Message | We know this is predictable, but could there be a larger portion of Orincos with their own category? It seems suspect that less than 15% of the population could have overthrown the far more numerous Gao-Showans and established an imperial system. Remember that the last census was conducts hundreds of years ago. Demographics change. Language-wise, we should reduce the number of English and French speakers, since they seems to have very little political clout--that is, virtually none. |
