Ideology:
The templar kingdom follows the following ideologies:
- Templarism (Medievolution): the return to more simple times, less complicated live style, without mobile phones, without fax, without computer, TV and the latest useless gadets that only make the coporations rich and people poor. With more handmade products and more time for meditation.
- Green thinking: the return to a live style with less waste, less throw away products, less pollution in the air, water and earth, no nuclear waste or arms, return to an era of more planting of trees, more city parks, more recycled products, re·use of products and care for nature. the use of alternative energies and reduce of toxic waste in our food. surfival guide
The Templar Kingdom is unique and different, in its ethnicity, in that it is the only christian nation that has Christ as king and that its army is templar knights, who still hold to the knight's oath. Also the Templar Kingdom is unique in it currency, it being a 12 piece system and not 10(100) piece system as all other nations and it's calender starts from 1118AD, it being year 0 of TY system. The templar Kingdom is also different in that it recommends it's citizen to dress in the Templar clothing style (see image)
The Templar Kingdom is also sometimes called the "Protestant Vatican" or the "Iberian Vatican" (Depending on the view you are talking about; "religious afiliation" or "geographic location".) "Map-North" according to the Templar Kingdom is East (towards Jerusalem)
The Templar Kingdom has proclaimed, the Convento do Christo (at Tomar, Portugal) as one of the 7 micronational wonders of the world.
In the Templar kingdom vehicles drive on the left as in the UK.
BGL rights
The kingdom does not see being Gay and being Christian (at the same time) as a contradiction, but as qualities that can complement each other. Making a person more compassionate, loving, and caring. Understanding the plight of a Gay or a Christian or a Gay-Christian goes through. The Templars of old were a warrior-monk order of all male members, and no doubt because of this, homosexual acts happened in their ranks, under a 'don't ask don't tell' policy. For this reason, the kingdom is Christian and BGL friendly and allows asylum seekers of the BGL community (from nations hostile to the BGL community) to claim refugee status in the Grail kingdom. The Templar Kingdom does not recognize a third gender, and does not allow hormone treatment on children. See these Books about true love. The reason it is called BGL and not LGB in Beaulosagñe is because they do not want to favour one group over another and therefore they put the acronym in alphabetical order!
(Trans people and queer people are not in the Templar kingdom BGL acronym, since both are neither defined by biological or sexual preference, but by an emotional state.)
Music
The national musics of the kingdom are: Merengue, Bachata, Salsa, Tango & Flamengo, which is daily played on the Euro News Channel.
Musea
Beaulosagñe wants to buy a destroyed castle and restore it. It plans to incorporate in this castle a permanent templar museum, a monastery (where templars can study and learn), the royal library (which is being build as we speak and will be moved in, when the castle is purchaced), a swordmanship traing camp, and medival shops. (where medival products can be bought.)
